Local-global intersection homologyThis paper defines new intersection homology groups. The basic idea is this. Ordinary homology is locally trivial. Intersection homology is not. It may have significant local cycles. A local-global…Jonathan Fine·Sep 10, 1997SaveLearn
On Weierstrass points and optimal curvesWe use Weierstrass Point Theory and Frobenius orders to prove the uniqueness (up to isomorphism) of some optimal curves.Rainer Fuhrmann, Fernando Torres·Sep 10, 1997SaveLearn
The Pontryagin rings of moduli spaces of arbitrary rank holomorphic bundles over a Riemann surfaceThe cohomology of the moduli spaces of stable bundles M(n,d), of coprime rank n and degree d, over a Riemann surface (of genus g > 1) have been intensely studied over the past three decades. We prove…Richard Earl, Frances Kirwan·Sep 10, 1997SaveLearn

Compactifying the relative Jacobian over families of reduced curvesWe construct natural relative compactifications for the relative Jacobian over a family X/S of reduced curves. In contrast with all the available compactifications so far, ours admit a universal…Eduardo Esteves·Sep 8, 1997SaveLearn
Separation properties of theta functionsIn a 1993 article, G. Faltings gave a new construction of the moduli space U of semistable vector bundles on a smooth curve X, avoiding geometric invariant theory. Roughly speaking, Faltings…Eduardo Esteves·Sep 8, 1997SaveLearn

Very ampleness for Theta on the compactified JacobianThe Jacobian J of a complete, smooth, connected curve X admits a canonical divisor Θ, called the Theta divisor. It is well-known that Θ is ample and, in fact, 3Θ is very ample. For a…Eduardo Esteves·Sep 5, 1997SaveLearn
Genus g Gromov-Witten invariants of Del Pezzo surfaces: Counting plane curves with fixed multiple pointsAs another application of the degeneration methods of [V3], we count the number of irreducible degree d geometric genus g plane curves, with fixed multiple points on a conic E, not containing…Ravi Vakil·Sep 4, 1997SaveLearn

Rational cuspidal plane curves of type (d, d-3)In the previous paper [E-print alg-geom/9507004] we classified the rational cuspidal plane curves C with a cusp of multiplicity deg C - 2. In particular, we showed that any such curve can be…H. Flenner, M. Zaidenberg·Sep 1, 1997SaveLearn
