Divisorial contraction to a non-normal variety

Consider a divisorial contraction $f:X\rightarrow Y$, between projective varieties, contracting an irreducible divisor $D\subset X$ to a subvariety $Z\subset Y$ of codimension at least two, and which ...

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 $C$?

Singularities of fibrations

Let $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^2$ be a fibration, here $X$ is a projective variety of dimension three. Assume that there exixts a smooth curve $C\subset\mathbb{P}^2$ such that for any $p\in\mathbb{P}...

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 ...
