In this paper, we study almost nef regular foliations. We give a structure theorem of a smooth projective variety $X$ with an almost nef regular foliation $\mathcal{F}$: $X$ admits a smooth morphism $f: X \rightarrow Y$ with rationally…

Let X be a smooth variety over a field k and D an effective divisor whose support has simple normal crossings. We construct an explicit cycle map from the r-th Nisnevich motivic complex of the pair (X,D) to a shift of the r-th relative…

A complex smooth prime Fano threefold $X$ of genus $9$ is related via projective duality to a quartic plane curve $\Gamma$. We use this setup to study the restriction of rank $2$ stable sheaves with prescribed Chern classes on $X$ to an…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a general Fano complete intersection of type $(d_1,\dots, d_k)$. If at least one $d_i$ is greater than $2$, we show that $X$ contains rational curves of degree $e \leq n$ with balanced normal bundle. If all…

We generalise Kahn, Miyazaki, Saito, Yamazaki's theory of modulus pairs to pairs $(X, D)$ consisting of a qcqs scheme $X$ equipped with an effective Cartier divisor $D$ representing a ramification bound. We develop theories of sheaves on…

Working in positive characteristic, we show how one can use information about the dimension of moduli spaces of rational curves on a Fano variety $X$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ to obtain strong estimates for the number of $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$-points…

The notion of 'slope rational connectedness' is introduced in the context of smooth orbifold pairs. The main result parallels the characterization of the rational connectedness of projective manifolds in terms of either the non-existence of…

Following the work of Gao and Xie in [2], we state some properties of the inverse Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of a matroid. We also give partial answers to a conjecture that states that regular connected matroids are non-degenerate. We link…

We prove that the link of a complex normal surface singularity is an L--space if and only if the singularity is rational. This via a recent result of Hanselman, J. Rasmussen, S. D. Rasmussen and Watson (proving the conjecture of Boyer,…

We show that the number of marked minimal models of an n-dimensional smooth complex projective variety of general type can be bounded in terms of its volume, and, if n=3, also in terms of its Betti numbers. For an n-dimensional projective…

Let $X$ be a smooth algebraic variety over $k$. We prove that any flat quasicoherent sheaf on $\operatorname{Ran}(X)$ canonically acquires a D-module structure. In addition, we prove that, if the geometric fiber $X_{\overline{k}}$ is…

In this article we study the structure of klt projective varieties with nef anticanonical divisor (and more generally, varieties of semi-Fano type), especially the canonical fibrations associated to them. We show that: 1. the Albanese map…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be an ample vector bundle of rank $r\geq 2$ on a smooth complex projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$. The aim of this paper is to describe the structure of pairs $(X,\mathcal{E})$ as above whose adjoint bundles…

In the theory of coalgebras $C$ over a ring $R$, the rational functor relates the category of modules over the algebra $C^*$ (with convolution product) with the category of comodules over $C$. It is based on the pairing of the algebra $C^*$…

We introduce the notion of rational structure on a quiver and associated representations to establish a coherent framework for studying quiver representations in separable field extensions. This notion is linked to a refinement of the…

Let $M$ be a simply connected closed manifold of dimension $n$. We study the rational homotopy type of the configuration space of 2 points in $M$, $F(M,2)$. When $M$ is even dimensional, we prove that the rational homotopy type of $F(M,2)$…

In the large rank limit, for any nonexceptional affine algebra, the graded branching multiplicities known as one-dimensional sums, are conjectured to have a simple relationship with those of type A, which are known as generalized Kostka…

A complex projective manifold is rationally connected, resp. rationally simply connected, if finite subsets are connected by a rational curve, resp. the spaces parameterizing these connecting rational curves are themselves rationally…

In this paper, we prove that if a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ has a smooth Hermitian metric $\omega$ such that $(T_X,\omega)$ is uniformly RC-positive, then $X$ is projective and rationally connected. Conversely, we show that, if a…

Let $f\colon X\to Z$ be a Mori fibre space. McKernan conjectured that the singularities of $Z$ are bounded in terms of the singularities of $X$. Shokurov generalised this to pairs: let $(X,B)$ be a klt pair and $f\colon X\to Z$ a…
