Fundamental forms and infinitesimal symmetries of projective varieties
Jun-Muk Hwang, Qifeng Li
We give a bound on the dimension of the linear automorphism group of a projective variety in terms of its fundamental forms at a general point. Moreover, w…
Minimal rational curves on equivariant compactifications of symmetric spaces
Jun-Muk Hwang, Qifeng Li
Let be a symmetric space of a complex linear algebraic group and let be a nonsingular equivariant compactification of . We investigate the question: when are min…
Deformations of the tangent bundle of a projective hypersurface
Insong Choe, Kiryong Chung, Jun-Muk Hwang
For a nonsingular hypersurface of degree , we show that the space $H^1(X, \End(T_X))$ of infinitesimal deformations of the tangent bun…
Symmetrizer group of a projective hypersurface
Jun-Muk Hwang
To each projective hypersurface which is not a cone, we associate an abelian linear algebraic group called the symmetrizer group of the corresponding symmetric form. This group des…
Characteristic conic connections and torsion-free principal connections
Jun-Muk Hwang, Qifeng Li
We study the relation between torsion tensors of principal connections on G-structures and characteristic conic connections on associated cone structures. We formulate sufficient c…
Characterizing subadjoint varieties among Legendrian varieties
Jun-Muk Hwang
For a symplectic vector space , a projective subvariety is a Legendrian variety if its affine cone is Lagrangian. In addition to th…
