Weighted blowups and mirror symmetry for toric surfaces

This paper explores homological mirror symmetry for weighted blowups of toric varietes. It will be shown that both the A-model and B-model categories have natural semi-orthogonal decompositions. An explicit equivalence of the right orthogonal categories will be shown for the case of toric surfaces.     

Some Examples of Tilt-Stable Objects on Threefolds

We investigate properties and describe examples of tilt-stable objects on a smooth complex projective threefold. We give a structure theorem on slope semistable sheaves of vanishing discriminant, and describe certain Chern classes for which every slope semistable sheaf yields a Bridgeland semistable object of maximal phase. Then, we study tilt stability as the polarization ω gets large, and give sufficient conditions for tilt-stability of sheaves of the following two forms: 1) twists of ideal sheaves or 2) torsion-free sheaves whose first Chern class is twice a minimum possible value.     

Enumeration of rational plane curves tangent to a smooth cubic

We compute the number of rational degree d plane curves having prescribed fixed and moving contacts to a smooth plane cubic E. We use twisted stable maps to the stack for r large, where is the rth root of along E. We prove that certain Gromov–Witten invariants of this stack are enumerative, and establish recursive formulas for these numbers.     

On the restriction of holomorphic forms

In this paper the author improved a proposition of Sommese on the restriction of holomorphic forms. By studying several examples, it turns out that this improvement is more or less optimal.     

An algorithm for intersections in ℙ2[N]

We provide an explicit algorithm for computing intersection numbers between basis elements of complementary codimension in the Hilbert scheme of N points in the projective plane.     

Projections and phase retrieval

We characterize collections of orthogonal projections for which it is possible to reconstruct a vector from the magnitudes of the corresponding projections. As a result we are able to show that in an M-dimensional real vector space a vector can be reconstructed from the magnitudes of its projections onto a generic collection of $N\ge 2M?1$ subspaces. We also show that this bound is sharp when $N=2^k+1$. The results of this paper answer a number of questions raised in [5].     

On first order congruences of lines in ℙ4 with irreducible fundamental surface

In this article we study congruences of lines in ?ⁿ, and in particular of order one. After giving general results, we obtain a complete classification in the case of ?⁴ in which the fundamental surface F is in fact a variety, i.e. it is integral, and the congruence is the irreducible set of the trisecant lines of F.

Derived categories of sheaves on singular schemes with an application to reconstruction

We prove that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves with proper support is equivalent to the category of locally-finite, cohomological functors on the perfect derived category of a quasi-projective scheme over a field. We introduce the notions of pseudo-adjoints and Rouquier functors and study them. As an application of these ideas and results, we extend the reconstruction result of Bondal and Orlov to Gorenstein projective varieties.
