The Simplicity of the Hodge Bundle

Anand Patel

This paper shows that the Hodge bundle over the moduli space of genus curves does not contain any non-trivial sub-bundles. Notably, the mathematical content was generate…

Counting sums of two powers

Anand Patel

We generalize two well-known enumerative facts. The first, due to Clebsch, says that a general binary sextic form is expressible as the sum of a cube and a square in 40 different w…

Counting 3-uple Veronese surfaces

Anand Deopurkar, Anand Patel

This paper culminates in the count of the number of 3-Veronese surfaces passing through 13 general points. This follows the case of 2-Veronese surfaces discovered by Coble in the 1…

Complete Families of Generic Covers of Elliptic Curves

Gabriel Bujokas, Anand Patel

We introduce and motivate a conjecture about the existence of complete, 1-dimensional families of covers of an elliptic curve. If the conjecture holds, then it would imply a unifor…

Orbits of linear series on the projective line

Anand Deopurkar, Anand Patel

We compute the equivariant fundamental class of the orbit closure of a linear series on the projective line. We also describe the boundary of the orbit closure and how the orbits s…

Lines highly tangent to a hypersurface

Anand Patel, Eric Riedl, Geoffrey Smith +1

We study spaces of lines that meet a smooth hypersurface X in P^n to high order. As an application, we give a polynomial upper bound on the number of planes contained in a smooth d…

A Universal Formula For Counting Cubic Surfaces

Anand Deopurkar, Anand Patel, Dennis Tseng

Using equivariant geometry, we find a universal formula that computes the number of times a general cubic surface arises in a family. As applications, we show that the PGL(4) orbit…

Moduli of linear slices of high degree hypersurfaces

Anand Patel, Eric Riedl, Dennis Tseng

We study the variation of linear sections of hypersurfaces in . We completely classify all plane curves, necessarily singular, whose line sections do not vary maximal…

Equivariant Degenerations of Plane Curve Orbits

Mitchell Lee, Anand Patel, Dennis Tseng

In a series of papers, Aluffi and Faber computed the degree of the orbit closure of an arbitrary plane curve. We attempt to generalize this to the equivariant setting by stu…

Ramification divisors of general projections

Anand Deopurkar, Eduard Duryev, Anand Patel

We study the ramification divisors of projections of a smooth projective variety onto a linear subspace of the same dimension. We prove that the ramification divisors vary in a max…

The rank two -curvature conjecture on generic curves

Anand Patel, Ananth N. Shankar, Junho Peter Whang

We prove the -curvature conjecture for rank two vector bundles with connection on generic curves, by combining deformation techniques for families of varieties and topological a…

Syzygy divisors on Hurwitz spaces

Anand Deopurkar, Anand Patel

We describe a sequence of effective divisors on the Hurwitz space for dividing and compute their cycle classes on a partial compactification. These divisors ari…

Moduli of Linear Sections of a General Hypersurface

Anand Patel

We investigate the global variation of moduli of linear sections of a general hypersurface. We prove a "generic Torelli" result for a large proportion of cases, and we obtain a com…

Interpolation in Algebraic Geometry

Aaron Landesman, Anand Patel

This is an expanded version of the two papers "Interpolation of Varieties of Minimal Degree" and "Interpolation Problems: Del Pezzo Surfaces." It is well known that one can find a…

Interpolation Problems: Del Pezzo Surfaces

Aaron Landesman, Anand Patel

We consider the problem of interpolating projective varieties through points and linear spaces. We show that del Pezzo surfaces satisfy weak interpolation.

Special codimension one loci in Hurwitz spaces

Anand Patel

We investigate two families of divisors which we expect to play a distinguished role in the global geometry of Hurwitz space. In particular, we show that they are extremal and rigi…
