Priors with non-smooth log-densities, such as the l1-prior, are widely used in Bayesian inverse problems for their sparsity-inducing properties. Existing Langevin-based sampling methods typically rely on proximal mappings or smooth…

We classify birational involutions of the real projective plane up to conjugation. In contrast with an analogous classification over the complex numbers (due to E. Bertini, G. Castelnuovo, F. Enriques, L. Bayle and A. Beauville), which…

We prove that if $X$ is a smooth Fano threefold and $L$ is an ample $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor such that $(X,L)$ is K-polystable, then the automorphism group $\operatorname{Aut}(X)$ is reductive. This verifies the reductivity statement predicted…

In this paper, we study finite subgroups $G\subset\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{P}^n)$ such that $\mathbb{P}^n$ is $G$-birationally rigid. For each $n\geqslant 3$, we prove that $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{P}^n)$ contains at most finitely many such…

We classify pairs $(X,G)$ consisting of a (possibly singular) cubic threefold $X\subset\mathbb{P}^4$ and a finite subgroup $G\subset\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ such that $X$ is $G$-birationally rigid, i.e., $X$ is a $G$-Mori fiber space (over a…

We complete the classification of regular generically free actions of finite groups on del Pezzo surfaces, up to birational equivalence. As a byproduct, we settle several open problems in equivariant birational geometry, e.g., we classify…

We find all K-polystable limits of smooth Fano threefolds in family 3.10.

We study the K-stability of singular Fano 3-folds with canonical Gorenstein singularities whose anticanonical linear system is base-point-free but not very ample.

We show that the alternating groups $\mathfrak{A}_5$ and $\mathfrak{A}_6$ are the only finite simple non-abelian subgroups of the group of birational selfmaps of the real three-dimensional projective space.

We study linearizability of actions of finite groups on cubic threefolds with nonnodal isolated singularities.

We verify Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev conjecture for Landau-Ginzburg models of smooth Fano threefolds.

We classify regular generically free actions of finite groups on the projective plane, up to conjugation in the Cremona group.

We study K-stability of smooth Fano threefolds of Picard rank $2$ and degree $22$ which can be obtained by blowing up a smooth complete intersection of two quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^5$ along a conic. We also describe the automorphism groups…

A smooth variety is said to satisfy Condition (A) if every finite abelian subgroup of its automorphism group has a fixed point. We classify smooth Fano 3-folds that satisfy Condition (A).

A variety is said to satisfy Condition (A) if every finite abelian subgroup of its automorphism group has a fixed point. We show that a smooth Fano 3-fold not satisfying Condition (A) is K-polystable unless it is contained in eight…

We study linearizability of actions of finite groups on cubic threefolds with non-isolated singularities.

We study unirationality of actions of finite groups on Fano threefolds.

We study linearizability of actions of finite groups on singular cubic threefolds, using cohomological tools, intermediate Jacobians, Burnside invariants, and the equivariant Minimal Model Program.

We find all K-polystable limits of divisors in $(\mathbb{P}^1)^4$ of degree $(1,1,1,1)$ and explicitly describe the associated irreducible component of the K-moduli space.

We study rationality properties of real singular cubic threefolds.
