AbstractLet $$(S,{\mathcal {L}})$$ ( S , L ) be a smooth, irreducible, projective, complex surface, polarized by a very ample line bundle $${\mathcal {L}}$$ L of degree $$d > 25$$ d > 25 . In this paper we prove that $$\chi (\mathcal O_S)\ge -\frac{1}{8}d(d-6)$$ χ ( O S ) ≥ - 1 8 d ( d - 6 ) . The bound is sharp, and $$\chi ({\mathcal {O}}_S)=-\frac{1}{8}d(d-6)$$ χ ( O S ) = - 1 8 d ( d - 6 ) if and only if d is even, the linear system $$|H^0(S,{\mathcal {L}})|$$ | H 0 ( S , L ) | embeds S in a smooth rational normal scroll $$T\subset {\mathbb {P}}^5$$ T ⊂ P 5 of dimension 3, and here, as a divisor, S is linearly equivalent to $$\frac{d}{2}Q$$ d 2 Q , where Q is a quadric on T. Moreover, this is equivalent to the fact that a general hyperplane section $$H\in |H^0(S,{\mathcal {L}})|$$ H ∈ | H 0 ( S , L ) | of S is the projection of a curve C contained in the Veronese surface $$V\subseteq {\mathbb {P}}^5$$ V ⊆ P 5 , from a point $$x\in V\backslash C$$ x ∈ V \ C .

SummaryThere is a mode of specialising a quartic polynomial which causes a binary quartic to become equianharmonic and a ternary quartic to become a Klein quartic, admitting a group of 168 linear self-transformations. The six relations which must be satisfied by the coefficients of the ternary quartic were given by Coble forty years ago, but their true significance was never suspected and they have remained until now an isolated curiosity. In § 2 we give, in terms of a quadric and a Veronese surface, the geometrical interpretation of the six relations; we also give, in terms of the adjugate of a certain matrix, their algebraical interpretation. Both these interpretations make it abundantly clear that this set of relations specialising a ternary quartic has analogues for quartic polynomials in any number of variables, and point unmistakably to what these analogues are.That a ternary quartic is, when so specialised, a Klein quartic is proved in §§ 4–6. The proof bifurcates after (5.3); one branch leads instantly to the standard form of the Klein quartic while the other leads to another form which, on applying a known test, is found also to represent a Klein quartic. One or two properties of the curve follow from this new form of its equation. In §§ 8–10 some properties of a Veronese surface are established which are related to known properties of plane quartic curves; and these considerations lead to a discussion, in § 11, of certain hexads of points associated with a Klein curve.

Let Mn be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold minimally immersed in the unit sphere Sn+p (1) of dimension n + p. When Mn is compact, Chern, do Carmo and Kobayashi [1] proved that if the square ‖h‖2 of length of the second fundamental form h in Mn is not more than , then either Mn is totallygeodesic, or Mn is the Veronese surface in S4 (1) or Mn is the Clifford torus .In this paper, we generalize the results due to Chern, do Carmo and Kobayashi [1] to complete Riemannian manifolds.

Abstract Let X be a nondegenerate integral subscheme of dimension n and degree d in ℙN defined over the complex number field ℂ. X is said to be k-regular if Hi(ℙN, ℐX (k – i)) = 0 for all i ≧ 1, where ℐX is the sheaf of ideals of ℐℙN and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity reg(X) of X is defined as the least such k. There is a well-known conjecture concerning k-regularity: reg(X) ≦ deg(X) – codim(X) + 1. This regularity conjecture including the classification of borderline examples was verified for integral curves (Castelnuovo, Gruson, Lazarsfeld and Peskine), and an optimal bound was also obtained for smooth surfaces (Pinkham, Lazarsfeld). It will be shown here that reg(X) ≦ deg(X) – 1 for smooth threefolds X in ℙ5 and that the only extremal cases are the rational cubic scroll and the complete intersection of two quadrics. Furthermore, every smooth threefold X in ℙ5 is k-normal for all k ≧ deg(X) – 4, which is the optimal bound as the Palatini 3-fold of degree 7 shows. The same bound also holds for smooth regular surfaces in ℙ4 other than for the Veronese surface.

Simons [5] has proved a pinching theorem for compact minimal submanifolds in a unit sphere, which led to an intrinsic rigidity result. Sakaki [4] improved this result of Simons for arbitrary codimension and has proved that if the scalar curvature S of the minimal submanifold Mn of Sn+P satisfiesthen either Mn is totally geodesic or S= 2/3 in which case n = 2 and M2 is the Veronese surface in a totally geodesic 4-sphere. This result of Sakaki was further improved by Shen [6] but only for dimension n=3, where it is shown that if S>4, then M3 is totally geodesic (cf. Theorem 3, p. 791).

Let [Formula: see text] denote the [Formula: see text]-uple Veronese surface. After studying some general aspects of the wall-crossing phenomena for stability conditions on surfaces, we are able to describe a sequence of flips of the secant varieties of [Formula: see text] by embedding the blow-up [Formula: see text] into a suitable moduli space of Bridgeland semistable objects on [Formula: see text].

The subject-matter of these pages may be briefly summarised as follows: the geometry of the Veronese surface, with an algebraic representation of it that does justice to its self-dual character; the relations of the secant planes of the surface to quadrics which either contain the surface or are outpolar to it; and the derivation of an invariant and two contravariants of a ternary quartic in the light of the (1, 1) correspondence between the quartic curves in a plane and the quadrics outpolar to a Veronese surface. There is no suggestion of discovering fresh properties of the surface, though possibly the results in § 12 § 13 may be new; but the geometrical considerations lead naturally to some algebraical results which it seems worth while to have on record, such as, for example, the identity 8.2 and the remarks concerning the rank of the determinant which appears there, and the form found in § 13 for the harmonic envelope of a plane quartic curve. These algebraical results lie very close to properties of the surface; so close in fact that one might say that the Veronese surface is the proper mise en scène for them.
