A fake weighted projective space X is a Q-factorial toric variety with Picard number one. As with weighted projective space, X comes equipped with a set of weights (\lambda_0,...,\lambda_n). We see how the singularities of…

The algebraic approach to bundles in non-commutative geometry and the definition of quantum real weighted projective spaces are reviewed. Principal U(1)-bundles over quantum real weighted projective spaces are constructed. As the spaces in…

We characterise mutations between fake weighted projective spaces, and give explicit formulas for how the weights and multiplicity change under mutation. In particular, we prove that multiplicity-preserving mutations between fake weighted…

We give a criterion for certain generic nondegenerate surfaces in a fake weighted projective $3$-space to have Picard number $>1$. These algebraic surfaces are of general type. We do this by considering degenerations (along an edge),…

As a by-product of our work on super Pl\"{u}cker embedding, we came to the notion of a weighted projective superspace $P_{+1,-1}(V\oplus W)$ with weights $+1,-1$. The construction is not in itself super and makes sense in ordinary (purely…

Fake projective planes are smooth complex surfaces of general type with Betti numbers equal to those of the usual projective plane. They come in complex conjugate pairs and have been classified as quotients of the two-dimensional ball by…

A fake projective plane is a smooth complex surface which is not the complex projective plane but has the same Betti numbers as the complex projective plane. The first example of such a surface was constructed by David Mumford in 1979 using…

We generalize to quantum weighted projective spaces in any dimension previous results of us on K-theory and K-homology of quantum projective spaces `tout court'. For a class of such spaces, we explicitly construct families of Fredholm…

We develop a generalized covering space theory for a class of uniform spaces called coverable spaces. Coverable spaces include all geodesic metric spaces, connected and locally pathwise connected compact topological spaces, in particular…

A fake quadric is a smooth projective surface that has the same rational cohomology as a smooth quadric surface but is not biholomorphic to one. We provide an explicit classification of all irreducible fake quadrics according to the…

Weighted projective space arises when we consider the usual geometric definition for projective space and allow for non-trivial weights. On its own, this extra freedom gives rise to more than enough interesting phenomena, but it is the fact…

We give sharp upper bounds on the anticanonical degree of fake weighted projective spaces, only depending on the dimension and the Gorenstein index.

We describe the integral equivariant cohomology ring of a weighted projective space in terms of piecewise polynomials, and thence by generators and relations. We deduce that the ring is a perfect invariant, and prove a Chern class formula…

A very general hypersurface of dimension $n$ and degree $d$ in complex projective space is rational if $d \leq 2$, but is expected to be irrational for all $n, d \geq 3$. Hypersurfaces in weighted projective space with degree small relative…

We initiate a study of varieties of minimal degree in weighted projective spaces. We call a weighted projective space $\mathbf{P}(w_0,\dots,w_n)$ divisible if $w_i \mid w_{i+1}$ for all $i$. We provide sharp bounds for when a non-degenerate…

We describe the structure of regular codimension $1$ foliations with numerically projectively flat tangent bundle on complex projective manifolds of dimension at least $4$. Along the way, we prove that either the normal bundle of a regular…

A fake wedge is a diagram of spaces K <- A -> C whose double mapping cylinder is contractible. The terminology stems from the special case A = K v C with maps given by the projections. In this paper, we study the homotopy type of the moduli…

In the literature there are two definitions of well formed varieties in weighted projective spaces. According to the first one, well formed variety is the one whose intersection with the singular locus of the ambient weighted projective…

For an interval finite quiver $Q$, we introduce a class of flat representations. We classify the indecomposable projective objects in the category $\mathrm{rep}(Q)$ of pointwise finite dimensional representations. We show that an object in…

Fake projective planes are smooth complex surfaces of general type with Betti numbers equal to that of the usual projective plane. Recent explicit constructions of fake projective planes embed them via their bicanonical embedding in…
