We use fine curve graph tools to prove that there exist parabolic isometries of graphs of curves associated to surfaces of infinite type.
We develop a theory of quasimaps to a moduli space of sheaves $M$ on a surface $S$. Under some assumptions, we prove that moduli spaces of quasimaps are proper and carry a perfect obstruction theory. Moreover, they are naturally isomorphic…
We give a new construction of the irregular, generalized Lagrangian, surfaces of general type with p_g=5, \chi=2, K^2=8, recently discovered by Chad Schoen. Our approach proves that, if S is a general Schoen surface, its canonical map is a…
We study linear series on a general curve of genus g, whose images are exceptional with respect to their secant planes. Each such exceptional secant plane is algebraically encoded by an included linear series, whose number of base points…
We study plane curves over finite fields whose tangent lines at smooth $\mathbb{F}_q$-points together cover all the points of $\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{F}_q)$.
Let $S$ be an Enriques surface. In this paper we study the semistability of the restriction $\Omega_{S}|_C$ for a general curve $C \in |H|$, where $H$ is a globally generated and ample line bundle on $S$. We show that $\Omega_{S}|_C$ is…
A Laurent polynomial $f$ in two variables naturally describes a projective curve $C(f)$ on a toric surface. We show that if $C(f)$ is a smooth curve of genus at least 7, then $C(f)$ is not Brill-Noether general. To accomplish this, we…
Semi-Equivelar maps are generalizations of Archimedean solids to the surfaces other than 2-sphere. In earlier work a complete classification of semi-equivelar map of type $(3^5, 4)$ on the surface of Euler characteristic -1 was given. In…
Considering the tangent plane at a point to a surface in the four-dimensional Euclidean space, we find an invariant of a pair of two tangents in this plane. If this invariant is zero, the two tangents are said to be conjugate. When the two…
We show that on integral normal separated schemes whose function field is separably closed, for each pair of points the intersection of the resulting local schemes is local. This extends a result of Artin from rings to schemes. The argument…
We give a number of examples of pairs of non-compact surfaces which are isoscattering, and which are exceptionally simple in one or more senses. We give examples which are of small genus with a small number of ends, and also examles which…

We relate the existence problem of harmonic maps into $S^2$ to the convex geometry of $S^2$. On one hand, this allows us to construct new examples of harmonic maps of degree 0 from compact surfaces of arbitrary genus into $S^2$. On the…
Quantum sheaf cohomology is a deformation of the cohomology ring of a sheaf. In recent years, this subject had an impetuous development in connection with the $(0; 2)$ non-linear sigma model from super-strings theory. The basic piece in…
A class of graphs that lies strictly between the classes of graphs of genus (at most) $k-1$ and $k$ is studied. For a fixed orientable surface $S_k$ of genus $k$, let $A_{xy}^k$ be the minor-closed class of graphs with terminals $x$ and $y$…
The compact curves of an intermediate Kato surface $S$ form a basis of $H^2(S,\mathbb Q)$. We present a way to compute the associated rational coefficients of the first Chern class $c_1(S)$. We get in particular a simple geometric…
Motivated by the recent work of Algom-Kfir and Bestinva introducing the mapping class group of an infinite graph via proper homotopy equivalences, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a surface to be properly homotopy equivalent…
We study smooth maps between smooth manifolds with only fold points as their singularities, and clarify the obstructions to the existence of such a map in a given homotopy class for certain dimensions. The obstructions are described in…
We obtain a formula for the number of genus two curves with a fixed complex structure of a given degree on a del-Pezzo surface that pass through an appropriate number of generic points of the surface. This is done by extending the…
We construct three sequences of regular surfaces of general type with unbounded numerical invariants whose canonical map is 2-to-1 onto a canonically embedded surface. Only sporadic examples of surfaces with these properties were previously…
