On complete intersections of three quadrics in

Francesco Russo, Giovanni Staglianò

We describe explicit birational maps from some rational complete intersections of three quadrics in to some prime Fano manifolds together with their Sarkisov decompo…

Explicit computations with cubic fourfolds, Gushel-Mukai fourfolds, and their associated K3 surfaces

Giovanni Staglianò

We present some applications of the Macaulay2 software package SpecialFanoFourfolds, a package for working with Hodge-special cubic fourfolds and Hodge-special Gushel--Mukai fourfo…

Explicit constructions of K3 surfaces and unirational Noether-Lefschetz divisors

Michael Hoff, Giovanni Staglianò

We provide methods to construct explicit examples of surfaces. This leads to unirational constructions of Noether--Lefschetz divisors inside the moduli space of surfaces…

Computations with rational maps between multi-projective varieties

Giovanni Staglianò

We shortly describe the algorithms behind some of the functions provided by the Macaulay2 package MultiprojectiveVarieties, a package for multi-projective varieties and rational ma…

A package for computations with sparse resultants

Giovanni Staglianò

We introduce the Macaulay2 package SparseResultants, which provides general tools for computing sparse resultants, sparse discriminants, and hyperdeterminants. We give some backgro…

Some new rational Gushel fourfolds

Giovanni Staglianò

We provide explicit equations and parameterizations of some new rational Gushel-Mukai fourfolds of special type.

On some families of Gushel-Mukai fourfolds

Giovanni Staglianò

We give explicit descriptions of some Noether-Lefschetz divisors in the moduli space of Gushel-Mukai fourfolds. As a consequence we obtain that their Kodaira dimension is negative.

Algebraic boundaries among typical ranks for real binary forms of arbitrary degree

Maria Chiara Brambilla, Giovanni Staglianò

We show that the algebraic boundaries of the regions of real binary forms with fixed typical rank are always unions of dual varieties to suitable coincident root loci.

New examples of rational Gushel-Mukai fourfolds

Michael Hoff, Giovanni Staglianò

We construct new examples of rational Gushel-Mukai fourfolds, giving more evidence for the analog of the Kuznetsov Conjecture for cubic fourfolds: a Gushel--Mukai fourfold is ratio…

Trisecant Flops, their associated K3 surfaces and the rationality of some Fano fourfolds

Francesco Russo, Giovanni Staglianò

We provide a new construction of rationality for cubic fourfolds via Mori's theory and the minimal model program. As an application, we present the solution of the Kuznetsov's conj…

Special cubic birational transformations of projective spaces

Giovanni Staglianò

We extend our classification of special Cremona transformations whose base locus has dimension at most three to the case when the target space is replaced by a (locally) factorial…

Explicit rationality of some cubic fourfolds

Francesco Russo, Giovanni Staglianò

Recent results of Hassett, Kuznetsov and others pointed out countably many divisors in the open subset of par…

Hypersurfaces with vanishing hessian via Dual Cayley Trick

Rodrigo Gondim, Francesco Russo, Giovanni Staglianò

We present a general construction of hypersurfaces with vanishing hessian, starting from any irreducible non-degenerate variety whose dual variety is a hypersurface and based on th…

Effective identifiability criteria for tensors and polynomials

Alex Massarenti, Massimiliano Mella, Giovanni Staglianò

A tensor , in a given tensor space, is said to be -identifiable if it admits a unique decomposition as a sum of rank one tensors. A criterion for -identifiability is c…

A Macaulay2 package for computations with rational maps

Giovanni Staglianò

The Macaulay2 package Cremona performs some computations on rational and birational maps between irreducible projective varieties. For instance, it provides methods to compute degr…

Giovanni Staglianò

A famous result of B. Crauder and S. Katz (1989) concerns the classification of special Cremona transformations whose base locus has dimension at most two. Furthermore, they also p…
