Tangent space to spaces of maps

Let $B = \{x_1,\dots,x_{d-2},y_1,\dots,y_k\}$ be a subscheme of $d-2+k$ distinct points of $\mathbb{P}^1$, and $g:B\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^2$ be a morphism mapping $x_1,\dots,x_{d-2}$ to a fixed point $...

Cohomology of tangent sheaf of a singular hypersurface

Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^n$ be a hypersurface singular at finitely many points $p_i\in X$. We may assume that $X$ has ordinary singularities at the $p_i$'s. Does there exists a formula, perhaps in ...

Linear projection from a point preserves flatness

Let $\pi:\mathcal{X} \to S$ be a flat family of affine curves contained in $\mathbb{C}^n$ for $n \ge 3$ i.e., $\mathcal{X} \hookrightarrow \mathbb{C}^n_S$ and the inclusion commutes with the natural ...

Where can I find a proof of identity of $H^1(X,T_X)$ and a quotient by the jacobian?

I'm reading some notes on hodge theory by Charles Siegel which makes a claim on page 16 relating the space of deformations of a smooth projective hypersurface $X$ with the jacobian ideal. More ...

Automorphisms and infinitesimal deformations of a smooth complete intersection

Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+c}$ be a smooth complete intersection of dimension $n$. Is it known when $Aut(X)$ is finite ? Does there exist a formula for the dimension of the tangent space to the ...

Infinitesimal deformations of a fibration

Let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be a morphism of normal projective varieties over an algebraically closed field with connected fibers. Assume that both $Y$ and the general fiber of $f$ admit a non-trivial ...

Infinitesimal deformations of a singular projective surface

Let $X$ be a normal projective surface with just two singular points $x_1,x_2\in X$, where $X$ has rational quotient singularities. Assume that both the singularities in $x_1$ and in $x_2$ admit a ...

Accumulation of algebraic subvarieties: Near one subvariety there are many others (?), 3

Part 3 of this series of questions. In the meantime, I realized that there is some very simple question that was left open in Accumulation of algebraic subvarieties: Near one subvariety there are many ...

Accumulation of algebraic subvarieties: Near one subvariety there are many others (?)

Let's work over the field $\mathbb{C}$ of complex numbers, and let $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a projective variety. Let $\tilde{X}\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be any small open neighborhood of $X$, in the ...
