Hodge theory of secant varieties
Qianyu Chen, Bradley Dirks, Sebastian Olano +1
We study the local cohomology modules for the secant variety of lines of a smooth projective variety and for higher secant varieties of smooth projective curves. We show that t…
Partial Cohomologically Complete Intersections via Hodge Theory
Qianyu Chen, Bradley Dirks, Sebastian Olano
Using Saito's theory of mixed Hodge modules, we study a generalization of Hellus-Schenzel's "cohomologically complete intersection" property. This property is equivalent to pervers…
Hirzebruch-Milnor classes of local complete intersections, minimal exponent, and applications to higher singularities
Bradley Dirks, Laurenţiu Maxim, Sebastián Olano
In this paper we use the deformation to the normal cone and the corresponding Verdier-Saito specialization to define and study (spectral) Hirzebruch-Milnor type homology characteri…
On the nonnegativity of stringy Hodge numbers
Sebastian Olano
We study the nonnegativity of stringy Hodge numbers of a projective variety with Gorenstein canonical singularities, which was conjectured by Batyrev. We prove that the -str…
