Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve defined over an algebraically closed field $k$, and let $E$ be a vector bundle on $X$. We compute the nef cone of any flag bundle associated to $E$.

We study generalizations for higher codimension cycles of several well-known definitions of the nef cone of divisors on a projective variety. These generalizations fix some of the pathologies exhibited by the classical nef cone of higher…

We define the nef complexity of a projective variety $X$. This invariant compares $\dim X+\rho(X)$ with the sum of the coefficients of nef partitions of $-K_X$. We prove that the nef complexity is non-negative and it is zero precisely for…

In this paper we study the ample cone of the moduli space $\mgn$ of stable $n$-pointed curves of genus $g$. Our motivating conjecture is that a divisor on $\mgn$ is ample iff it has positive intersection with all 1-dimensional strata (the…

Let $X$ be a very general hypersurface of degree $d$ in the projective $(n+1)$-space with $n \ge 3$, and $f: X \to Y$ a non-birational surjective morphism to a normal projective variety $Y$. We first prove that $Y$ is a klt Fano variety if…

We prove that any affine, resp. polarized projective, spherical variety admits a flat degeneration to an affine, resp. polarized projective, toric variety. Motivated by Mirror Symmetry, we give conditions for the limit toric variety to be a…

In this paper we extend the concept of multiplicity from fake weighted projective spaces, as considered by Averkov, Kasprzyk, Lehmann and Nill in 2021, to Mori Dream Spaces, exploring interesting connections between the algebraic,…

Let C be a real nonsingular affine curve of genus one, embedded in affine n-space, whose set of real points is compact. For any polynomial f which is nonnegative on C(R), we prove that there exist polynomials f_i with f \equiv \sum_i f_i^2…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over the complex numbers. One knows by the Cone Theorem that the closed cone of curves of $X$ is rational polyhedral whenever $c_1(X)$ is ample. For varieties $X$ such that $c_1(X)$ is not ample,…

In this paper we show that a smooth toric variety $X$ of Picard number $r\leq 3$ always admits a nef primitive collection supported on a hyperplane admitting non-trivial intersection with the cone $\Nef(X)$ of numerically effective divisors…

In this paper we use a homological approach to obtain upper bounds for a few homological invariants of $FI_G$-modules $V$. These upper bounds are expressed in terms of the generating degree and torsion degree, which measure the top and…

An arc space of an affine cone over a projective toric variety is known to be non-reduced in general. It was demonstrated recently that the reduced scheme structure is worth studying due to various connections with representation theory and…

We compute the Mori cone of curves of the moduli space \M_{g,n} of stable n-pointed curves of genus g in the case when g and n are relatively small. For instance, we show that for g<14 every curve in \M_g is numerically equivalent to an…

The classical Losev-Manin space is a toric compactification of the moduli space of $n$ points in the affine line modulo translation and scaling. Motivated by this, we study its higher-dimensional toric counterparts, which compactify the…

For a smooth projective variety $X$, we consider when the diagonal $\Delta_X$ is nef as a cycle on $X\times X$. In particular, we give a classification of complete intersections and smooth del Pezzo varieties where the diagonal is nef. We…

This paper proves that every projective toric variety is the fine moduli space for stable representations of an appropriate bound quiver. To accomplish this, we study the quiver $Q$ with relations $R$ corresponding to the finite-dimensional…

Inspired by Fujita's algebro-geometric result that complex projective space has maximal degree among all K-semistable complex Fano varieties, we conjecture that the height of a K-semistable metrized arithmetic Fano variety X of relative…

In this note we prove that any toric Fano manifold with nef tangent bundle is a product of projective spaces. In particular, it implies that Campana-Peternell conjecture hold for toric manifolds.

We propose a linear version of the weighted bounded negativity conjecture. It considers a smooth projective surface $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and predicts the existence of a common lower bound on…

Given an endomorphism f of projective space, we exhibit explicit bounds on the difference between the naive height of a divisor and its canonical height relative to f.
