Let $X$ be a projective variety with two morphisms $f:X\rightarrow Y$ and $g:X\rightarrow Z$ with irreducible fibers of positive dimension. Assume that $Pic(X) = f^{*}Pic(Y)\oplus g^{*}Pic(Z)$. Then ...

Consider the following cubic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^5$: $$ X = \{z_0z_3z_5-z_1^2z_5-z_0z_4^2+2z_1z_2z_4-z_2^2z_3 = 0\}\subset\mathbb{P}^5 $$ The singular locus of $X$ is the Veronese surface $V\...

Consider a general $4\times 4$ matrix: $$ X:=\left( \begin{array}{cccc} X_0 & X_1 & X_2 & X_3 \\ X_4 & X_5 & X_6 & X_7 \\ X_8 & X_9 & X_{10} & X_{11} \\ X_{12} &...

Let $X$ be a normal (possibly singular) projective surface over $\mathbb{C}$. Consider the set $M_X$ of all coherent sheaves $F$ on $X$ such that there exists a finite subset $Y\subset X$ such that $F$...

Let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be a birational morphism of projective varieties. Assume that $Pic(X)$ is a free abelian group generated by $n$ divisors $D_1,...,D_n$. Under which hypothesis on $X$ and $Y$ is ...

Let $f:Y\to X$ be a proper birational map of normal varieties over an algebraically closed field which is an isomorphism over the regular locus. Q1: Is it the case that the pullback $f^*\...
