We propose a linear version of the weighted bounded negativity conjecture. It considers a smooth projective surface $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and predicts the existence of a common lower bound on…

We study generalizations for higher codimension cycles of several well-known definitions of the nef cone of divisors on a projective variety. These generalizations fix some of the pathologies exhibited by the classical nef cone of higher…

Using recent results of Bayer-Macr\`i, we compute in many cases the pseudoeffective and nef cones of the projectivised cotangent bundle of a smooth projective K3 surface. We then use these results to construct explicit families of smooth…

In this work, following the fundamental work of Boucksom we construct the nef cone of a compact complex manifold in higher codimension and give explicit examples where these cones are different. In the third section, we give two versions of…

We investigate nef and movable cones of hypersurfaces in Mori dream spaces. The first result is: Let $Z$ be a smooth Mori dream space of dimension at least four whose extremal contractions are of fiber type of relative dimension at least…

Let X be a complex Fano manifold of dimension n. Let s(X) be the sum of l(R)-1 for all the extremal rays of X, the edges of the cone NE(X) of curves of X, where l(R) denotes the minimum of (-K_X \cdot C) for all rational curves C whose…

In this paper, we prove the cone theorem and the contraction theorem for pairs $(X, B)$, where $X$ is a normal variety and $B$ is an effective $\mathbb R$-divisor on $X$ such that $K_X+B$ is $\mathbb R$-Cartier.

We prove several finiteness theorems for the normal bundles to souls in nonnegatively curved manifolds. More generally, we obtain finiteness results for open Riemannian manifolds whose topology is concentrated on compact domains of…

We prove the cone theorem for varieties with LCIQ singularities using deformation theory of stable maps into Deligne-Mumford stacks. We also obtain a sharper bound on $-(K_X+D)$-degree of $(K_X+D)$-negative extremal rays for projective…

We show that a compact Kahler manifold with nonpositive holomorphic sectional curvature has nef canonical bundle. If the holomorphic sectional curvature is negative then it follows that the canonical bundle is ample, confirming a conjecture…

Max Noether's Theorem asserts that if $\omega$ is the dualizing sheaf of a nonsingular nonhyperelliptic projective curve, then the natural morphisms $\text{Sym}^nH^0(\omega)\to H^0(\omega^n)$ are surjective for all $n\geq 1$. The result was…

We establish the following max-plus analogue of Minkowski's theorem. Any point of a compact max-plus convex subset of $(R\cup\{-\infty\})^n$ can be written as the max-plus convex combination of at most $n+1$ of the extreme points of this…

Let $X$ be a projective toric surface of Picard number one blown up at a general point. We bring an infinite family of examples of such $X$ whose Kleiman-Mori cone of curves is not closed: there is no negative curve generating one of the…

In this paper, we prove that a non-projective compact K\"ahler three-fold with nef anti-canonical bundle is, up to a finite \'etale cover, one of the following: a manifold with vanishing first Chern class; the product of a K3 surface and…

We show that if $X$ is a projective hyperk\"ahler fourfold and there exists a nonzero effective divisor $D$ which is not of bi-elliptic type and contained in the boundary of the nef cone of $X$, then $X$ contains a rational curve. This is a…

We study the boundary structure of closed convex cones, with a focus on facially dual complete (nice) cones. These cones form a proper subset of facially exposed convex cones, and they behave well in the context of duality theory for convex…

We introduce a new vector space associated to projective variety, the Weil Neron-Severi space, which we show is finitely generated and contains the usual Neron-Severi space as a subspace. We define the Nef cone of Weil divisor and the cone…

In this paper we verify a conjecture by Kozlov (Discrete Comput Geom 18 (1997) 421--431), which describes the convex hull of the set of face vectors of $r$-colorable complexes on $n$ vertices. As part of the proof we derive a generalization…

We give generators for the nef cone and the cone of curves of rational surfaces obtained by blowing-up the complex projective plane at a set of points $\mathcal{B} \cup \mathcal{D}$, where $\mathcal{B}$ is the set of (proper and infinitely…

We prove a Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem on a normal compact Kahler space X: if L is a nef line bundle with numerical dimension at least equal to 2, then the q-th cohomology group of K_X+L vanishes for q at least equal to the dimension…
