In this paper we prove the conjecture of Molino that for every singular Riemannian foliation $(M,\mathcal{F})$, the partition $\bar{\mathcal{F}}$ given by the closures of the leaves of $\mathcal{F}$ is again a singular Riemannian foliation.

A strong form of the Manin-Peyre conjecture with a power saving error term is proved for a certain cubic fourfold.

We prove the boundedness of $n$-complements for surface pairs in a generalized case without restrictions on multiplicities or the Fano type assumption.

Given a semistable non-isotrivial fibered surface $f:X\to \mathbb{P}^1$ it was conjectured by Tan and Tu that if $X$ is of general type, then $f$ admits at least $7$ singular fibers. In this paper we prove this conjecture in several…

Neuwirth asked if any non-trivial knot in the 3-sphere can be embedded in a closed surface so that the complement of the surface is a connected essential surface for the knot complement. In this paper, we examine some variations on this…

We study full exceptional collections of line bundles on surfaces. We prove that any full strong exceptional collection of line bundles on a weak del Pezzo surface of degree $\ge 3$ is an augmentation in the sense of L.Hille and M.Perling,…

We present a new proof of Witten's conjecture. The proof is based on the analysis of the relationship between intersection indices on moduli spaces of complex curves and Hurwitz numbers enumerating ramified coverings of the 2-sphere.

Let $A$ be a simple abelian surface over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $S\subset A(k)$ be the set of torsion points $x$ of $A$ such that there exists a genus $2$ curve $C$ and a map $f: C\to A$ such that $x$ is in the image of $f$,…

This article is a part of a series aimed at classifying normal del Pezzo surfaces of Picard rank one over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, up to an isomorphism. The key invariant guiding our classification is the…

We give examples of K-unstable singular del Pezzo surfaces which are weighted hypersurfaces with index 2.

The main result of the paper is a boundedness for $n$-complements on algebraic surfaces. In addition, applications of this theorem to a classification of log Del Pezzo surfaces and of birational contractions for 3-folds are formulated.

We study the Fano surface S of the Fermat cubic threefold. We prove that S is a degree 81 abelian cover of the degree 5 del Pezzo surface and that the complement of the union of 12 disjoint elliptic curves on S is a ball quotient. The…

We construct a natural semiorthogonal decomposition for the derived category of an arbitrary flat family of sextic del Pezzo surfaces with at worst du Val singularities. This decomposition has three components equivalent to twisted derived…

For a Del Pezzo surface of degree 8 given over the rationals we decide whether there is a rational parametrization of the surface and construct one in the affirmative case. We define and use the Lie algebra of the surface to reach the aim.…

Let $S$ be a degree six del Pezzo surface over an arbitrary field $F$. Motivated by the first author's classification of all such $S$ up to isomorphism in terms of a separable $F$-algebra $B \times Q \times F$, and by his K-theory…

In this article, we compute $\delta$-invariant of Du Val del Pezzo surfaces of degree $3$.

We initiate a general quantitative study of sets of $\mathcal{M}$-points, which are special subsets of rational points, generalizing Campana points, Darmon points, and squarefree solutions of Diophantine equations. We propose an asymptotic…

Let $X$ be a del Pezzo surface of degree $2$ or greater over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The image $\Gamma$ of the Galois group $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_q / \mathbb{F}_q)$ in the group…

We give constructions of completions of the affine $3$-space into total spaces of del Pezzo fibrations of every degree other than $7$ over the projective line. We show in particular that every del Pezzo surface other than $\mathbb{P}^{2}$…

In an algebro-geometric way, we completely determine whether smooth del Pezzo surfaces are K-(semi)stable or not.
