In a toric variety $T$ of dimension $11$ I have a subvariety $W$ of which I would like to compute the dimension.
On $T$ there is a nef but not ample divisor $D$ whose space of sections has dimension $...

Twisted sheaves on tower of $\mathbb{P}^n$
Take the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a ring $W$.
We call $\mathcal{O}(q)$ the usual twisted line bundle.
Now take the map $f: \mathbb{P}^n\to\mathbb{P}^n$ defined by
$$[x_0,\ldots, x_n]\...

Intersections of divisors in blow-ups of $\mathbb{P}^n$
Let $p_1,p_2,p_3\in\mathbb{P}^n$ be three general points, $X$ the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^n$ at $p_1,p_2,p_3$, then along the lines $\left\langle p_i,p_j\right\rangle$, and finally along the plane $\...

Are there n polynomials for which all intersection multiplicities are at least m?
I don't know whether this is known or not, but I was thinking of the following problem.
Let $n$ and $m$ be natural numbers. Are there $n$ polynomial $f_1,...,f_n\in \mathbb{C}[x]$, such that all of ...
