We recall first the relations between the syzygies of the Jacobian ideal of the defining equation for a projective hypersurface $V$ with isolated singularities and the versality properties of $V$, as studied by du Plessis and Wall. Then we show how the bounds on the global Tjurina number of $V$ obtained by du Plessis and Wall lead to substantial improvements of our previous results on the stability of the reflexive sheaf $Tlangle Vrangle$ of logarithmic vector fields along $V$, and on the Torelli property in the sense of Dolgachev-Kapranov of $V$.
The discriminant, $D$, in the base of a miniversal deformation of an irreducible plane curve singularity, is partitioned according to the genus of the (singular) fibre, or, equivalently, by the sum of the delta invariants of the singular points of the fibre. The members of the partition are known as the {it Severi strata}. The smallest is the $delta$-constant stratum, $D(delta)$, where the genus of the fibre is $0$. It is well known, by work of Givental and Varchenko, to be Lagrangian with respect to the symplectic form $Omega$ obtained by pulling back the intersection form on the cohomology of the fibre via the period mapping. We show that the remaining Severi strata are also co-isotropic with respect to $Omega$, and moreover that the coefficients of the expression of $Omega^{wedge k}$ with respect to a basis of $Omega^{2k}(log D)$ are equations for $D(delta-k+1)$, for $k=1,ldots,delta$. These equations allow us to show that for $E_6$ and $E_8$, $D(delta)$ is Cohen-Macaulay (this was already shown by Givental for $A_{2k}$), and that, as far as we can calculate, for $A_{2k}$ all of the Severi strata are Cohen-Macaulay. Our construction also produces a canonical rank 2 maximal Cohen Macaulay module on the discriminant.
Let A be a union of smooth plane curves C_i, such that each singular point of A is quasihomogeneous. We prove that if C is a smooth curve such that each singular point of A U C is also quasihomogeneous, then there is an elementary modification of rank two bundles, which relates the O_{P^2} module Der(log A) of vector fields on P^2 tangent to A to the module Der(log A U C). This yields an inductive tool for studying the splitting of the bundles Der(log A) and Der(log A U C), depending on the geometry of the divisor A|_C on C.
We study foliations $mathcal{F}$ on Hirzebruch surfaces $S_delta$ and prove that, similarly to those on the projective plane, any $mathcal{F}$ can be represented by a bi-homogeneous polynomial affine $1$-form. In case $mathcal{F}$ has isolated singularities, we show that, for $ delta=1 $, the singular scheme of $mathcal{F}$ does determine the foliation, with some exceptions that we describe, as is the case of foliations in the projective plane. For $delta eq 1$, we prove that the singular scheme of $mathcal{F}$ does not determine the foliation. However we prove that, in most cases, two foliations $mathcal{F}$ and $mathcal{F}$ given by sections $s$ and $s$ have the same singular scheme if and only if $s=Phi(s)$, for some global endomorphism $Phi $ of the tangent bundle of $S_delta$.
By the fundamental work of Griffiths one knows that, under suitable assumption, homological and algebraic equivalence do not coincide for a general hypersurface section of a smooth projective variety $Y$. In the present paper we prove the same result in case $Y$ has isolated singularities.
We study deformations of affine toric varieties. The entire deformation theory of these singularities is encoded by the so-called versal deformation. The main goal of our paper is to construct the homogeneous part of some degree -R of this, i.e. a maximal deformation with prescribed tangent space T^1(-R) for a given character R. To this aim we use the polyhedron obtained by cutting the rational cone defining the affine singularity with the hyperplane defined by [R=1]. Under some length assumptions on the edges of this polyhedron, we provide the versal deformation for primitive degrees R.
