The system of $N$ classical particles on the line with the Weierstrass $\wp$ function as potential is known to be completely integrable. Recently D'Hoker and Phong found a beautiful parameterization by the polynomial of degree $N$ of the…

We reformulate the construction of Kontsevich's completion and use Lawson homology to define many new motivic invariants. We show that the dimensions of subspaces generated by algebraic cycles of the cohomology groups of two $K$-equivalent…

We give a $K$-theoretic criterion for a quasi-projective variety to be smooth. If $\mathbb{L}$ is a line bundle corresponding to an ample invertible sheaf on $X$, it suffices that $K_q(X) = K_q(\mathbb{L})$ for all $q\le\dim(X)+1$.

Kahler manifolds have a natural hyperkahler structure associated with (part of) their cotangent bundles. Using projective superspace, we construct four-dimensional N = 2 models on the tangent bundles of some classical Hermitian symmetric…

Let f be a zero entropy automorphism of a compact K\"ahler manifold X. We study the polynomial log-volume growth Plov(f) of f in light of the dynamical filtrations introduced in our previous work with T.-C. Dinh. We obtain new upper bounds…

Let C be a smooth projective curve over a discretely valued field K, defined by an affine equation f(x,y)=0. We construct a model of C over the ring of integers of K using a toroidal embedding associated to the Newton polygon of f. We show…

Let X be a complex projective variety and D a reduced divisor on X. Under a natural minimal condition on the singularities of the pair (X, D), which includes the case of smooth X with simple normal crossing D, we ask for geometric criteria…

We prove an elementary but somewhat unexpected result about projective embeddings of smooth varieties X whose cotangent bundles are numerically effective. Specifically, we show that the degree of X in any projective embedding must grow…

Given a complex projective manifold $X$ and a divisor $D$ with normal crossings, we say that the logarithmic tangent bundle $T_X(-\log D)$ is R-flat if its pull-back to the normalization of any rational curve contained in $X$ is the trivial…

In this paper, we investigate a restricted version of Bergman kernels for high powers of a big line bundle over a smooth projective variety. The geometric meaning of the leading term is specified. As a byproduct, we derive some integral…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. We prove that if $X$ admits a smooth Hermitian metric $\omega$ with quasi-positive second Chern-Ricci curvature $\mathrm{Ric}^{(2)}(\omega)$, then $X$ is projective and rationally connected. In…

For a smooth projective variety $X\subseteq \mathbb P^N$ over an algebraically closed field of char $0$, we show that the discriminant locus of a generic projection of $X$ is projectively dual to a general linear section of the dual…

In this paper we present an intrinsic characterisation of projective special K\"ahler manifolds in terms of a symmetric tensor satisfying certain differential and algebraic conditions. We show that this tensor vanishes precisely when the…

Let $L$ be a very ample line bundle on a smooth curve $C$ of genus $g$ with $\frac{3g+3}{2}<\deg L\le 2g-5$. Then $L$ is normally generated if $\deg L>\max\{2g+2-4h^1(C,L), 2g-\frac{g-1}{6}-2h^1(C,L)\}$. Let $C$ be a triple covering of…

For a toric pair $(X, D)$, where $X$ is a projective toric variety of dimension $d-1\geq 1$ and $D$ is a very ample $T$-Cartier divisor, we show that the Hilbert-Kunz density function $HKd(X, D)(\lambda)$ is the $d-1$ dimensional volume of…

We construct the weak nonstandard hull of a normed linear space X from *X (the nonstandard extension of X) using the weak topology on X. The bidual (i.e. the second dual) X" is shown to be isometrically isomorphic to the weak nonstandard…

This is a partly expository article for the volume "Algebraic and Analytic Microlocal Analysis" on pointwise Weyl laws for spectral projections kernels in the Kaehler setting. We prove a 2-term pointwise Weyl law for projections onto sums…

Let $M$ be complex projective manifold, and $A$ a positive line bundle on it. Assume that $SU(2)$ acts on $M$ in a Hamiltonian manner, with nowhere vanishing moment map, and that this action linearizes to $A$. Then there is an associated…

Let $K$ be any field, and let $E$ be any graph. We explicitly construct the projective resolution of simple left modules over the Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E)$ associated to cycles and irreducible polynomials. Then we study the dimension of…

Two Kaehler metrics on one complex manifold are said to be c-projectively equivalent if their J-planar curves, i.e., curves defined by the property that their acceleration is complex proportional to their velocity, coincide. The degree of…
