Singularities of fibrations in conics

Consider a rank two vector bundle $E = \mathcal{O}(a)\oplus \mathcal{O}(b)\oplus \mathcal{O}(c)$ over $\mathbb{P}^1$. Fix coordinates $u_0,u_1$ on the base $\mathbb{P}^1$ and $v_0,v_1,v_2$ on the ...

Definition of canonical pair

Let $(X,D)$ be a pair and $f:Y\rightarrow X$ a log resolution. Write $$ K_Y + \widetilde{D} = f^{*}(K_X) + \sum_{i}a_iE_i $$ where $\widetilde{D}$ is the strict transform of $D$. I found the following ...

Blowing-up a non reduced fiber

Let $X\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^2$ be a smooth conic bundle with a non reduced fiber $F$, and $\widetilde{X}$ the blow-up of $X$ along $F$ with exceptional divisor $F\times\mathbb{P}^1$. I expect $\...

Cohomology of tangent sheaf of a singular hypersurface

Let $X\subset\mathbb{P}^n$ be a hypersurface singular at finitely many points $p_i\in X$. We may assume that $X$ has ordinary singularities at the $p_i$'s. Does there exists a formula, perhaps in ...

Which weighted projective spaces (and their finite quotients) are local complete intersections?

Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $\textrm{Gl}_{n+1}(k)$ (where $k$ is an algebraically closed field). My question is: do there exist examples of $G$ such that the corresponding quotient $P$ of $\mathbb{...
