Let X->P^(n-1) be an elliptic fibration obtained by resolving the indeterminacy of the projection of a cubic hypersurface Y of P^(n+1) from a line L not contained in Y. We prove that the Mordell-Weil group of the elliptic fibration is…
We determine the Cox ring of the space of complete rank two collineations.
We study the equations of universal torsors on rational surfaces.
We show that good quotients of algebraic varieties with finitely generated Cox ring have again finitely generated Cox ring.
We consider finitely generated normal algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero that come with a complexity one grading by a finitely generated abelian group such that the conditions of a UFD are satisfied for…
We prove that the Cox ring of a smooth rational surface with big anticanonical class is finitely generated. We classify surfaces of this type that are blow-ups of the plane at distinct points lying on a (possibly reducible) cubic.
We survey some results on real rational surfaces focused on their topology and their birational geometry.
In this paper we investigate the relation between the finite generation of the Cox ring R(X) of a smooth projective surface X and its anticanonical Iitaka dimension k(-K_X).
We construct orbifolds with quasitoric boundary and show that they have stable almost complex structure. We show that a quasitoric orbifold is complex cobordant to finite disjoint copies of complex orbifold projective spaces. Finally some…
Let $A$ be a $2\times 2$ matrix over a finite field and consider the Yang-Baxter matrix equation $XAX=AXA$ with respect to $A$. We use a method of computational ideal theory to explore the geometric structure of the affine variety of all…
Let X be a del Pezzo surface of degree one over an algebraically closed field (of any characteristic), and let Cox(X) be its total coordinate ring. We prove the missing case of a conjecture of Batyrev and Popov, which states that Cox(X) is…
We define the equivariant Cox ring of a normal variety with algebraic group action. We study algebraic and geometric aspects of this object and show how it is related to the ordinary Cox ring. Then, we specialize to the case of normal…
We characterize all varieties with a torus action of complexity one that admit iteration of Cox rings.
The Cox ring provides a coordinate system on a toric variety analogous to the homogeneous coordinate ring of projective space. Rational maps between projective spaces are described using polynomials in the coordinate ring, and we generalise…
The Cox rings of del Pezzo surfaces are closely related to the Lie groups E_n. In this paper, we generalize the definition of Cox rings to G- surfaces defined by us earlier, where the Lie groups G=A_n, D_n or E_n. We show that the Cox ring…
We survey some results on toric topology.
We show that finitely generated Cox rings are Gorenstein. This leads to a refined characterization of varieties of Fano type: they are exactly those projective varieties with Gorenstein canonical quasicone Cox ring. We then show that for…
In this paper, for a given finitely generated algebra (an algebraic structure with arbitrary operations and no predicates) A we study finitely generated limit algebras of A, approaching them via model theory and algebraic geometry. Along…
This is a survey on coarse geometry with an emphasis on coarse homology theories.
Differential-geometric structures on the space of orbits of a finite Coxeter group, determined by Groth\'endieck residues, are calculated. This gives a construction of a 2D topological field theory for an arbitrary Coxeter group.
