A major unsolved problem (according to Demailly 1997) towards the Kobayashi hyperbolicity conjecture in optimal degree is to understand jet differentials of germs of holomorphic discs that are invariant under any reparametrization of the…
The main goal of this work is to prove that a very generic surface of degree at least 21 in complex projective 3-dimensional space is hyperbolic in the sense of Kobayashi. This means that every entire holomorphic map $f:{\Bbb C} \to X$ to…
This paper establishes new degree bounds for Kobayashi hyperbolicity in dimension two. Our main results are: -- A very generic surface in $\mathbb{P}^3$ of degree at least $17$ is Kobayashi hyperbolic. -- The complement of a {\em generic}…
Motivated by Demailly's strategy towards the Kobayashi hyperbolicity conjecture, we study the action on the k-jets of germs of holomorphic discs in a complex manifold X of the reparametrization group of k-jets of germs of biholomorphisms of…
Let X be a geometrically smooth n-dimensional projective algebraic complex hypersurface in P^{n+1}(C). Using Green-Griffiths jets, we establish the existence of nonzero global algebraic differential equations that must be satisfied by every…
We give a new version of a recent result of B{\'e}rczi-Kirwan, proving the Kobayashi and Green-Griffiths-Lang conjectures for generic hypersurfaces in the projective space , with a polynomial lower bound on the degree. Our strategy again…
The study of entire holomorphic curves contained in projective algebraic varieties is intimately related to fascinating questions of geometry and number theory -- especially through the concepts of curvature and positivity which are central…
The Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture stipulates that for every projective variety $X$ of general type over ${\mathbb C}$, there exists a proper algebraic subvariety of $X$ containing all non constant entire curves $f:{\mathbb C}\to X$. Using…
We study invariant jet differentials in the framework of complex hyperbolicity, focusing on the algebra of invariants for the non--reductive reparametrization group $G_k = \mathbb{C}^{\ast} \ltimes U_k$. The paper develops a uniform,…
In this paper, we prove that in any projective manifold, the complements of general hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree are Kobayashi hyperbolic. We also provide an effective lower bound on the degree. This confirms a conjecture by…
In view of Kobayashi's hyperbolicity conjecture, Demailly-Semple jets of orders 4 and 5 in dimension 2 are studied, some expectations about their algebraic tameness being (dis)proved, after systematic, substantial, formal, manual…
For a generic hypersurface $\mathbb{X}^{n-1} \subset \mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$ of degree \[ d \,\geqslant\, n^{2n} \] (1) $\mathbb{P}^n \big\backslash \mathbb{X}^{n-1}$ is Kobayashi-hyperbolically imbedded in $\mathbb{P}^n$; (2)…
We determine set-theoretic defining equations for the variety of hypersurfaces of degree d in an N-dimensional complex vector space that have dual variety of dimension at most k. We apply these equations to the Mulmuley-Sohoni variety, the…
We generalize the main result of Demailly \cite{D2} for the bundles $E_{k,m}^{GG}(V^*)$ of jet differentials of order $k$ and weighted degree $m$ to the bundles $E_{k,m}(V^*)$ of the invariant jet differentials of order $k$ and weighted…
We classify the cohomology classes of Lagrangian 4-planes $\P^4$ in a smooth manifold $X$ deformation equivalent to a Hilbert scheme of 4 points on a $K3$ surface, up to the monodromy action. Classically, the cone of effective curves on a…
In 1970, Kobayashi conjectured that general hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree in $P^n$ are hyperbolic. In this paper we prove that a general sufficiently ample hypersurface in a smooth projective variety is hyperbolic. To prove…
We prove that the complement of a very generic curve of degree $d$ at least equal to 15 in the projective plane is hyperbolic in the sens of Kobayashi (here, the terminology ``very generic'' refers to complements of countable unions of…
We prove an effective version of a theorem of Dufresnoy: For any set of 2n+1 hyperplanes in general position in n-dimensional complex projective space, we find an explicit constant K such that for every holomorphic map f from the unit disc…
We use two ingredients to prove the hyperbolicity of generic hypersurfaces of sufficiently high degree and of their complements in the complex projective space. One is the pullbacks of appropriate low pole order meromorphic jet…
Once first answers in any dimension to the Green-Griffiths and Kobayashi conjectures for generic algebraic hypersurfaces $\mathbb{X}^{n-1} \subset \mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$ have been reached, the principal goal is to decrease (to improve)…
