Research topics addressed
I dealt with research topics in the field of Algebraic Geometry and Commutative Algebra.
More specifically, I dealt with the following topics:
Hilbert functions of 0-dimensional subschemes of irreducible curves lying on a quadric surface;
arithmetically Gorenstein schemes;
fat points and fat patterns in projective spaces;
construction of patterns with particular properties;
reducibility of the Hilbert scheme of points in codimension 3 and connection with the existence of minimal Betti sequences;
properties of subschemes of sets of points;
merges of aCM patterns and full intersection patterns;
0-dimensional subschemas of products of projective spaces;
nearly complete intersections;
weak and strong Lefschetz properties;
configurations of algebraic varieties.
