Automorphisms of singular hypersurfaces
Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ be an irreducible and reduced hypersurface of degree $d$.
A theorem by Matsumura and Monski asserts that if $n\geq 2$, $d\geq 3$, $(n,d)\neq (2,4)$ and $X$ is smooth ...

Cubic 3-fold singular along a curve
Does there exists a cubic or quartic $3$-fold $X\subset\mathbb{P}^4$ such that $Sing(X)$ is a smooth curve $C$ of genus $g(C)\geq 2$ and $X$ has $A_1$-singularities along $C$?

Resolution of singularities of projective varieties
Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^n$ be an irreducible variety, and let $Sing(X)$ be its singular locus. Let $Y$ be the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n$ along $Sing(X)$. Assume that we know that the strict transform ...
