On Two Algebraic Realizations of Schubert Calculus

Schubert calculus on complex Grassmannians can be played by means of differential operators acting on Schur polynomials or Vertex Operators acting on exterior algebras. In this paper we develop this point of view systematically and complement it with a parallel exterior-algebra formalism, leading to what we call, respectively, the \emph{bosonic} and the \emph{fermionic} Schubert calculus. The two alluded realizations are related by (a finite type version of) the boson--fermion correspondence, thereby providing a unified framework connecting Schubert calculus and integrals on the Grassmannian, symmetric functions, exterior algebras and the representation theory of symmetric groups.

Local Complete Intersections and Weierstrass Points

This work presents a simple proof that the moduli space of complete integral Gorenstein curves with a prescribed symmetric Weierstrass semigroup becomes a weighted projective space, even for fields of positive characteristic, when the associated monomial curve is a local complete intersection.

On the Normal Sheaf of Gorenstein Curves

We show that any tetragonal Gorenstein integral curve is a complete intersection in its respective $3$-fold rational normal scroll S, implying that the normal sheaf on $C$ embedded in S, and in $\mathbb{P}^{g-1}$ as well, is unstable for $g\geq 5$, provided that $S$ is smooth. We also compute the degree of the normal sheaf of any singular reduced curve in terms of the Tjurina and Deligne numbers, providing a semicontinuity of the degree of the normal sheaf over suitable deformations, revisiting classical results of the local theory of analytic germs.

On nonnegatively graded Weierstrass points

We provide a new lower bound for the dimension of the moduli space of smooth pointed curves with prescribed Weierstrass semigroup at the marked point, derived from the Deligne-Greuel formula and Pinkham's equivariant deformation theory. Using Buchweitz's description of the first cohomology module of the cotangent complex for monomial curves, we show that our lower bound improves a recently one given by Pflueger. By allowing semigroups running over suitable families of symmetric semigroups of multiplicity six, we show that this new lower bound is attained, and that the corresponding moduli spaces are non-empty and of pure dimension.

On the Vertex Operator Representation of Lie Algebras of Matrices

The polynomial ring $B_r:=\mathbb{Q}[e_1,\ldots,e_r]$ in $r$ indeterminates is a representation of the Lie algebra of all the endomorphism of $\mathbb{Q}[X]$ vanishing at powers $X^j$ for all but finitely many $j$. We determine a $B_r$-valued formal power series in $r+2$ indeterminates which encode the images of all the basis elements of $B_r$ under the action of the generating function of elementary endomorphisms of $\mathbb{Q}[X]$, which we call the structural series of the representation. The obtained expression implies (and improves) a formula by Gatto & Salehyan, which only computes, for one chosen basis element, the generating function of its images. For sake of completeness we construct in the last section the $B=B_\infty$-valued structural formal power series which consists in the evaluation of the vertex operator describing the bosonic representation of $gl_{\infty}(\mathbb{Q})$ against the generating function of the standard Schur basis of $B$. This provide an alternative description of the bosonic representation of $gl_{\infty}$ due to Date, Jimbo, Kashiwara and Miwa which does not involve explicitly exponential of differential operators.

2-Adic Stratification of Totients

In this paper we study the multiplicities and the asymptotic behaviour of the numbers of totients in the strata given by 2-adic valuation.

On the distribution of totients 2 mod. 4

In this paper we study the distribution of totients $2$ mod. $4$. We prove that the asymptotic magnitude of such totients with multiplicity two is half of that of prime numbers. As a corollary we obtain that the relative asymptotic density of the number of those totients with multiplicity four over the number of totients with multiplicity two is zero. We also obtain that the set of totients which have, a bigger than one, power of a prime in their pre-images and multiplicity $k$ has relative asymptotic density over the number of all totients of multiplicity $k$ equals to zero. A result on the distribution of consecutive pairs of totients $2$ mod. $4$, which relates to cousin primes, is also provide.

On the structure of numerical sparse semigroups and applications to Weierstrass points

In this work, we are concerned with the structure of sparse semigroups and some applications of them to Weierstrass points. We manage to describe, classify and find an upper bound for the genus of sparse semigroups. We also study the realization of some sparse semigroups as Weierstrass semigroups. The smoothness property of monomial curves associated to (hyper)ordinary semigroups presented by Pinkham and Rim-Vitulli, and the results on double covering of curves by Torres are crucial in this.

Max Noether's Theorem for Integral Curves

We generalize, for integral curves, a celebrated result of Max Noether on global sections of the n-dualizing sheaf of a smooth nonhyperelliptic curve. This is our main result. We also obtain an embedding of a non-Gorenstein curve in a way that we can express the dimensions of the components of the ideal in terms of the main invariants of the curve. Afterwards we focus on gonality, Clifford index and Koszul cohomology of non-Gorenstein curves by allowing torsion free sheaves of rank 1 in their definitions. We find an upper bound for the gonality, which agrees with Brill-Noether's one for a rational and unibranch curve. We characterize curves of genus 5 with Clifford index 1, and, finally, we study Green's Conjecture for a certain class of curves, called nearly Gorenstein.
