Hypersurface of singular plane cubics

In the projective space $\mathbb{P}^9 = \mathbb{P}(\mathbb{C}[x,y,z]_3)$, parametrizing plane cubics, consider the hypersurface $X\subset\mathbb{P}^9$ whose points corresponds to singular cubics. The ...

Varieties connected by curves in projective spaces of small dimension

Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ be an irreducible complex variety. Fix an integer $a\geq 2$ and call $P_a$ the following property: given $x_1,\dots,x_a\in X$ general points there exists an irreducible ...

Intersection multiplicity of limit linear spaces

Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ be a smooth projective variety. Let us fix a general point $q \in X$, and let $C\subseteq X$ be a smooth curve passing through $q$. Now let $\Lambda_{\xi, q}$, with $\xi \...
