Remarks on families of singular curves with hyperelliptic normalizations
We give restrictions on the existence of families of curves on smooth
projective surfaces of nonnegative Kodaira dimension all having constant
geometric genus and hyperelliptic normalizations. In particular, we
prove a Reider-like result whose proof is ``vector bundle-free'' and relies on
deformation theory and bending-and-breaking of rational curves in \Sym^2(S).
We also give examples of families of such curves.Comment: 18 page
On the birationality of the adjunction mapping of projective varieties
Let be a smooth projective -fold such that and a globally
generated, big line bundle on such that . We give
necessary and sufficient conditions for the adjoint systems to be
birational for . In particular, for Calabi-Yau -folds we
generalize and prove parts of a conjecture of Gallego and Purnaprajna.Comment: 7 pages, accepted for publication in Journal of the Ramanujan

Smooth curves on projective K3 surfaces
In this paper we give for all , d>0, necessary and
sufficient conditions for the existence of a pair (X,C), where X is a K3
surface of degree 2n in \matbf{P}^{n+1} and C is a smooth (reduced and
irreducible) curve of degree d and genus g on X. The surfaces constructed have
Picard group of minimal rank possible (being either 1 or 2), and in each case
we specify a set of generators. For we also determine when X can be
chosen to be an intersection of quadrics (in all other cases X has to be an
intersection of both quadrics and cubics). Finally, we give necessary and
sufficient conditions for \O_C (k) to be non-special, for any integer .Comment: 12 pages, to appear in Math. Scand. Mistake in earlier version of Thm

Institutional Clash and Financial Fragility. An Evolutionary Model of Banking Crises
There are mainly two types of theories explaining banking crisis, emanating from the monetarist school respectively institutional economics. Using an allegory, monetarists are discussing how much water in terms of liquidity that is needed to stop a fire escalating into a disaster, while institutionalists are occupied with the causes of the fire. Our study rejects the explanatory value of the monetarist view, but also criticizes the Kindleberger-Minsky model for not taking the legalisation and the sanctions in the hands of the authorities into account. We consider the institutional factor as a decisive part in the understanding of systemic risk and the process towards increasing debt in non-financial sectors and introduce the concept institutional clash. Not every recession has caused a banking crisis. But all banking crises have been preceded by an institutional clash. Consequently, an institutional clash is a prerequisite but not sufficient to cause a banking crisis: there must be a recession for a crisis to emerge. We also launch a stage-model for the evolution of banking crises. The stages in that model highlight decisive factors before, under and after a crisis. Our model has the capability to explain the occurrence of crises in a re-regulated economy. However, we only give few examples from Nordic banking crises how our model could be applied. Thus, the article is explorative. It is natural to make further empirical observation in order get a solid theory of driving forces behind banking crisis. The next step would be to empirically integrate all the Nordic banking crises between 1850 and 2000 in our analysis.Banking history, banking crisis, finance, institutional theory, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Scandinavia
