On the structure of mu-classes

Abstract

We prove that, if μ<\lfloor n/2\rfloor, then every rational plane curve of degree n and class μis a limit of parametrizations of the same degree and class μ+1. This property was conjectured in D.Cox, T.Sederberg,F.Chen's paper: "The moving line ideal basis of planar rational curves" (Comput. Aided Geom. Des. 15 (1998), 803-827), and its validity allows an explicit description of the variety of parametrizations of degree n and class μ, for all (n,μ).

G3-Criteria and Applications

The G3-property of a subvariety was introduced by Hironaka-Matsumura, and plays an important role for deducing connectedness and extension results. Unfortunately, it's a rather elusive notion, which is not always easy to establish. Most of the existing work is concentrated on subvarieties of homogeneous varieties. The first goal of this article is to show that mobility assumptions on the subvariety, considered in works of Badescu, Chow, Debarre, Voisin, yield a certain partial positivity property, slightly stronger than G3, previously introduced by the author. Second, we apply the result to prove that, in numerous situations, the splitting of the normal bundle of a smooth two-codimensional subvariety implies that it is a complete intersection.

Nodal degeneration of chiral algebras I: Global structure and gluing formula

We define a natural extension of a universal factorization algebra $\mathcal{A}$ to families of stable punctured curves, by integrating over all semistable modifications. We prove that the resulting sheaf of factorization homology satisfies a natural gluing formula, by tensoring over a certain derived associative algebra $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^0$, generalizing the Verlinde formula for gluing of conformal blocks.
