Let $X$ be a K3 surface, and $H$ its primitive polarization of the degree $H^2=2rs$, $r,s\ge 1$. The moduli space of sheaves over $X$ with the isotropic Mukai vector $(r,H,s)$ is again a K3 surface, $Y$. In math.AG/0206158, math.AG/0304415…

We consider the Zariski-Lipman Conjecture on free module of derivations for algebraic surfaces. Using the theory of non-complete algebraic surfaces, and some basic results about ruled surfaces, we will prove the conjecture for several…

Let $S$ be a nonorientable surface of genus $g\ge 5$ with $n\ge 0$ punctures, and $\Mcg(S)$ its mapping class group. We define the complexity of $S$ to be the maximum rank of a free abelian subgroup of $\Mcg(S)$. Suppose that $S_1$ and…

In this paper we state and prove a higher index theorem for an odd-dimensional connected spin riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ which is partitioned by an oriented closed hypersurface $N$. This index theorem generalizes a theorem due to N. Higson…

Every multiplier algebra of an irreducible complete Pick kernel arises as the restriction algebra $\mv = \{f\big|_V : f \in \cM_d\}$, where $d$ is some integer or $\infty$, $\cM_d$ is the multiplier algebra of the Drury-Arveson space…

A local description of the non-flat infinitesimally bendable Euclidean hypersurfaces was recently given by Dajczer and Vlachos \cite{DaVl}. From their classification, it follows that there is an abundance of infinitesimally bendable…

In this paper, we study a natural discretization of the smooth Gaussian curvature on surfaces, which is defined as the quotient of the angle defect and the area of a geodesic disk at a vertex of a polyhedral surface. It is proved that each…

Let $H$ be a strongly irreducible Heegaard surface in a closed oriented Riemannian $3$-manifold. We prove that $H$ is either isotopic to a minimal surface of index at most one or isotopic to the boundary of a tubular neighborhood about a…

We prove a conjecture of Medvedev and Scanlon in the case of regular morphisms of semiabelian varieties. That is, if $G$ is a semiabelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $0$, and $\varphi\colon G\to…

Given a smooth, irreducible, projective surface $S$, let $g(S)$ be the minimum geometric genus of an irreducible curve that moves in a linear system of positive dimension on $S$. We determine the value of this birational invariant for a…

Let $f = x_1^{a_1} + x_2^{a_2} + x_3^{a_3} + 1 \in \mathbb{C}[x_1,x_2,x_3]$ and let $g = y_1^{b_1} + y_2^{b_2} + y_3^{b_3} + 1 \in \mathbb{C}[y_1,y_2,y_3]$ where $a_1,a_2,a_3,b_1,b_2,b_3 \geq 2$. We prove that the surfaces $V(f) \subset…

We study moduli of semistable twisted sheaves on smooth proper morphisms of algebraic spaces. In the case of a relative curve or surface, we prove results on the structure of these spaces. For curves, they are essentially isomorphic to…

We classify and study trigonal curves in Hirzebruch surfaces admitting dihedral Galois coverings. As a consequence, we obtain certain restrictions on the fundamental group of a plane curve~$D$ with a singular point of multiplicity $(\deg…

All Gizatullin surfaces that admit such a $\mathbb{C}^+$-action for which the quotient is a $\mathbb{C}^1$-fibration with a reduced degenerate fibre, have the density property. We also give a description of the identity component of the…

Gizatullin surfaces of type $[[0,0,-r_2,-r_3]]$ can be described by the equations $yu = x P(x)$, $xv = u Q(u)$ and $yv = P(x) Q(u)$ in $\mathbb{C}^4_{x,y,u,v}$ where $P$ and $Q$ are non-constant polynomials. We establish the algebraic…

We recently established a Toponogov type triangle comparison theorem for a certain class of Finsler manifolds whose radial flag curvatures are bounded below by that of a von Mangoldt surface of revolution (arXiv:1205.3913). In this article,…

Given a flat, finite group scheme G finitely presented over a base scheme we introduce the notion of ramified Galois cover of group G (or simply G-cover), which generalizes the notion of G-torsor. We study the stack of G-covers, denoted…

This paper extends the decorated Teichm\"uller theory developed before for punctured surfaces to the setting of ``bordered'' surfaces, i.e., surfaces with boundary, and there is non-trivial new structure discovered. The main new result…
