Let $V$ be the Veronese surface, obtained as the image of $\mathbb{P}^2$ in $\mathbb{P}^5$ by the complete linear system of conics. I understand that $V$ can degenerate to the union of a cubic scroll …

Let $S$ be a smooth algebraic variety, and suppose $X\to S$ is a smooth morphism of schemes such that the geometric fibers are all projective spaces. Let us suppose that the dimension of the fibers is …

I am looking for a proof/reference of the following simple fact, which I think it holds true. Let $S\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a surface embedded by a very ample linear system. Then I know that the dua …

here https://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.5033.pdf in section 5 there's an example of unirational, non-rational, 3fold moduli space. I am not sure whether it is a conic bundle, though. Probably not.

Two K3 surfaces show up when talking about cubic fourfolds containing a plane. Let $P\subset X\subset \mathbb{P}^5$ be the plane inside the cubic. Since $P$ is cut out by 3 linear equations then $X$ h …

It is well known that any birational morphism between projective varieties is a sequence of blow ups. Suppose now that I have a morphism $f:X \to Y$ with positive dimensional fibers, that is a project …

Suppose I have a singular projective variety $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ that is reducible with $X=\bigcup_i X_i$ smooth irreducible components. That is, the irreducible components are smooth but $X$ is …

Suppose I have two smooth projective varieties $X$ and $Y$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$, that intersect along a smooth subvariety $Z$. Is there a formula to compute the degree of the join variety $J(X,Y)$ of $X$ …

Suppose we have a smooth subvariety $X\subset Gr(2,n)$ of a Grassmannian, that can be expressed as usual as a linear combination of Schubert cycles. I would like to obtain information on the canonical …

Does anybody have a reference for invariants of configurations of linear subspaces in the projective space? In particular I would be curious to see an explicit expression of the invariant functions o …

Let $X\subset P^5$ be a smooth cubic fourfold. It is well known that its variety of lines $F(X)$ is a smooth fourfold Fano variety. Hence its derived category should have a semi-orthogonal decompositi …

Let us assume that we work over the complex field and let $X$ be a smooth projective variety and $\pi: P \to X$ a projective bundle (i.e. a fibration in projective spaces of constant dimension). Let $ …

Suppose I have a rational projective variety $X$ and a quadric bundle $Q \to X$ such that the total space of $Q$ is rational. Assume now that I operate on $X$ with a finite group $G$ and that the quot …

I need a reference for an explicit proof of the rationality of the Fano 3-fold $X_{18}$. By explicit I mean by a sequence of explicit birational transformations. Thank you!

A quartic surface in $\mathbb{P}^3$ is said to be a "symmetroid" if its equation is obtained as the determinant of a 4x4 symmetric matrix of linear forms. It is well known that the general symmetroid …
