Families of Subvarieties in Complex Algebraic Varieties

Objective

In relation with the study of both moduli and enumerative problems in
complex algebraic geometry,
we propose the geometric study of various families of subvarieties of
certain complex algebraic varieties of small dimension, and mainly of
families of (possibly singular) curves. The Severi varieties are a
typical example: they parametrize curves of given degree and geometric
genus in the projective plane; the general such curve has a prescribed
number of ordinary double points and no further singularity.

Apart from exploring their dimensions, smoothness, and irreducibility
properties, we have in mind to determine their Hilbert polynomials
(which among other things encode their degrees, the latter being
important enumerative invariants).

A central feature of our project is to conduct this analysis by
degeneration: to study families of subvarieties in a given variety X,
we let X degenerate and look at what happens in the limit. For
instance, to study curves on a general K3 surface, we can let it
degenerate to a union of projective planes, the dual graph of which is
a triangulation of the real 2-sphere.

We shall consider the following kind of families of subvarieties:
families of curves with prescribed invariants and singularities in
surfaces (with special attention to the two cases of the projective plane,
and of K3 surfaces), families of hyperplane sections with prescribed
singularities of hypersurfaces in projective spaces, families of
curves with a given genus in Calabi-Yau threefolds, and families of
surfaces in the projective 3-space containing curves with unexpected
singularities.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
