In this note we use the divisorial Zariski decomposition to give a more intrinsic version of the algebraic Morse inequalities.

Let $\alpha$ be a big class on a compact K\"ahler manifold. We prove that a decomposition $\alpha=\alpha_1+\alpha_2$ into the sum of a modified nef class $\alpha_1$ and a pseudoeffective class $\alpha_2$ is the divisorial Zariski…

Let $X^n \subset P^N$ be a nonsingular, nondegenerate projective variety of dimension $n$ and codimension $N-n \ge 2$. Let $|C_X|$ be the linear system determined by the double-point divisor obtained by generically projecting $X$ to a…

For each integer $d\geq 2$, let $M_d$ denote the moduli space of maps $f: \mathbb{P}^1\to \mathbb{P}^1$ of degree $d$. We study the geometric configurations of subsets of postcritically finite (or PCF) maps in $M_d$. A complex-algebraic…

In this paper, we define the notions $q$-birational morphism and $q$-birational divisor and develop the theory about them. We state and prove versions of Kodaira-type vanishing theorem and Zariski decomposition theorem for $q$-birational…

It has been shown by Hacking and Prokhorov that if the projective surface X with quotient singularities and self-intersection number 9 has a smoothing to the projective plane, then X is the general fiber of a Q-Gorenstein deformation of the…

Suppose $\mathcal{E} \to B$ is a non-isotrivial elliptic surface defined over a number field, for smooth projective curve $B$. Let $k$ denote the function field $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}(B)$ and $E$ the associated elliptic curve over $k$. In…

We prove some new degeneracy results for integral points and entire curves on surfaces; in particular, we provide the first example, to our knowledge, of a simply connected smooth variety whose sets of integral points are never…

Special birational transformations $\Phi:\p^r\da Z$ defined by quadric hypersurfaces are studied by means of the variety of lines $\mathcal L_z\subset\p^{r-1}$ passing through a general point $z\in Z$. Classification results are obtained…

Let $X$ be a projective variety over a number field $K$ (resp. over $\mathbb{C}$). Let $H$ be the sum of ``sufficiently many positive divisors'' on $X$. We show that any set of quasi-integral points (resp. any integral curve) in $X-H$ is…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety with a nef anticanonical divisor over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, we establish a precise structure of $X$ under the condition that $a_X: X \to {\rm Alb}(X)$ is…

The big cone of every smooth projective surface $X$ admits the natural decomposition into Zariski chambers. The purpose of this note is to give a simple criterion for the interiors of all Zariski chambers on $X$ to be numerically determined…

There is a close relationship between the embedded topology of complex plane curves and the (group-theoretic) arithmetic of elliptic curves. In a recent paper, we studied the topology of some arrangements of curves which include a special…

Given a projective hyper-K\"ahler manifold $X$, we study the asymptotic base loci of big divisors on $X$. We provide a numerical characterization of these loci and study how they vary while moving a big divisor class in the big cone, using…

The purpose of this paper is to exhibit infinite families of conjugate projective curves in a number field whose complement have the same abelian fundamental group, but are non-homeomorphic. In particular, for any $d>3$ we find Zariski…

The Zariski theorem says that for every hypersurface in a complex projective (resp. affine) space of dimension at least 3 and for every generic plane in the projective (resp. affine) space the natural embedding generates an isomorphism of…

Theorem: If W is a smooth complex projective variety with h^1 (O-script_W) = 0, then a sufficiently ample smooth divisor X on W cannot be a hyperplane section of a Calabi-Yau variety, unless W is itself a Calabi-Yau. Corollary: A smooth…

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over a field. We show that, under mild assumptions, in a family of primitive generically free $G$-varieties over a base variety $B$ the essential dimension of the geometric fibers may drop on a countable…

We show that for every morphism f between nonsingular hypersurfaces of dimension at least 3 and of general type in projective space, there is an everywhere defined endomorphism F of projective space that restricts to f. As a corollary, we…
