Suciu's Conjecture on hyperplane arrangements

Marian Aprodu, Gavril Farkas, Claudiu Raicu +1

We prove that the resonance of any hyperplane arrangement is separable. Using the main result from arXiv:2512.10160 this proves Suciu's conjecture on the fundamental group of every…

The unirationality of and moduli spaces of pointed spin curves

Gavril Farkas, Alessandro Verra

We show that the moduli space of odd spin curves of genus 9 is unirational. This is the highest genus for which such a result is known. This is achieved by realizing birationally t…

Syzygies and Koszul modules in geometry

Gavril Farkas

We describe the progress in the last 10 years related to Koszul modules and syzygies of algebraic varieties. Topics discussed include the general theory of Koszul modules and reson…

The effective Chen ranks conjecture

Marian Aprodu, Gavril Farkas, Claudiu Raicu +1

Koszul modules and their associated resonance schemes are objects appearing in a variety of contexts in algebraic geometry, topology, and combinatorics. We present a proof of an ef…

Secant loci on moduli of Prym varieties

Gavril Farkas, Margherita Lelli-Chiesa

We present a Prym analogue of Lazarsfeld's result that curves on general polarized K3 surfaces verify the Brill-Noether Theorem, or equivalently, that their canonical embedding has…

Hurwitz-Brill-Noether theory via K3 surfaces and stability conditions

Gavril Farkas, Soheyla Feyzbakhsh, Andrés Rojas

We develop a novel approach to the Brill-Noether theory of curves endowed with a degree k cover of the projective line via Bridgeland stability conditions on elliptic K3 surfaces.…

Szegő kernels and Scorza quartics on the moduli space of spin curves

Gavril Farkas, Elham Izadi

We describe an extension at the level of the moduli space of stable spin curves of genus g of the map associating to an ineffective spin structure its Scorza curve (equivalently, t…

Irrational components of the Hilbert scheme of points

Gavril Farkas, Rahul Pandharipande, Alessio Sammartano

We construct irrational irreducible components of the Hilbert scheme of points of affine n-dimensional space, for n at least 12. We start with irrational components of the Hilbert…

The uniruledness of the Prym moduli space of genus 9

Gavril Farkas, Alessandro Verra

We show that the moduli space R_9 of Prym curves of genus 9 is uniruled. This is the largest genus g for which R_g has negative Kodaira dimension.

Difference varieties and the Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture

Gavril Farkas

The Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture is a generalization of Green's Conjecture on syzygies of canonical curves to the cases of arbitrary line bundles. We establish the Green-Laza…

Reduced resonance schemes and Chen ranks

Marian Aprodu, Gavril Farkas, Claudiu Raicu +1

The resonance varieties are cohomological invariants that are studied in a variety of topological, combinatorial, and geometric contexts. We discuss their scheme structure in a gen…

Generalized De Jonquieres divisors on generic curves

Gavril Farkas

The classical De Jonquieres and MacDonald formulas describe the virtual number of divisors with prescribed multiplicities in a linear system on an algebraic curve. We establish an…

The minimal resolution property for points on general curves

Gavril Farkas, Eric Larson

We present an essentially complete solution to the Minimal Resolution Conjecture for general curves, determining the shape of the minimal resolution of general sets of points on a…

Gavril Farkas, Dave Jensen, Sam Payne

The paper is devoted to highlighting several novel aspects of the moduli space of curves of genus 13, the first genus g where phenomena related to K3 surfaces no longer govern the…

Hodge classes on the moduli space of W(E_6)-covers and the geometry of A_6

Valery Alexeev, Ron Donagi, Gavril Farkas +2

In previous work we showed that the Hurwitz space of W(E_6)-covers of the projective line branched over 24 points dominates via the Prym-Tyurin map the moduli space A_6 of principa…

Gavril Farkas, Scott Mullane

We show that the canonical bundle of the Hurwitz stack classifying covers of genus g>1 and degree k>2 of the projective line is big. We show that all coarse moduli spaces of trigon…

It is known that the monodromy group of each cover of a general curve of genus g>3 equals either the symmetric or the alternating group. The classical Catalan numbers count the min…
