We give an overview of partial positivity conditions for line bundles, mostly from a cohomological point of view. Although the current work is to a large extent of expository nature, we present some minor improvements over the existing…

Generalizing work of Smith and Hara, we give a new characterization of log-terminal singularities for finitely generated algebras over $\mathbb C$, in terms of purity properties of ultraproducts of characteristic $p$ Frobenii. The first…

We study the set of algebraic objects known as vanishing polynomials (the set of polynomials that annihilate all elements of a ring) over general commutative rings with identity. These objects are of special interest due to their close…

We show how the separability problem is dual to that of decomposing any given matrix into a conic combination of rank-one partial isometries, thus offering a duality approach different to the positive maps characterization problem. Several…

Given a group satisfying sufficient finiteness properties, we discuss a group algebra criterion for vanishing of all its cohomology groups with unitary coefficients in a certain degree.

We prove several results about the behavior Du Bois singularities and Du Bois pairs in families. Some of these generalize existing statements about Du Bois singularities to the pair setting while others are new even in the non-pair setting.…

In this paper, we first establish an $L^2$-type Dolbeault isomorphism for logarithmic differential forms by H\"{o}rmander's $L^2$-estimates. By using this isomorphism and the construction of smooth Hermitian metrics, we obtain a number of…

We establish a, and conjecture further, relationship between the existence of subvarieties representing minimal cohomology classes on principally polarized abelian varieties, and the generic vanishing of certain sheaf cohomology. The main…

Differential central simple algebras are the main object of study in this survey article. We recall some crucial notions such as differential subfields, differential splitting fields, tensor products etc. Our main focus is on differential…

Starting from a generalization of a recent result on self-duality we systematically analyze self-dual models. We find a criterion to judge whether a given model is self-dual or not. With this tool we construct some new self-dual pairs,…

We give a survey on some aspects of the topological investigation of isolated singularities of complex hypersurfaces by means of Picard-Lefschetz theory. We focus on the concept of distinguished bases of vanishing cycles and the concept of…

As is well known, the "usual discrepancy" is defined for a normal Q-Gorenstein variety. By using this discrepancy we can define a canonical singularity and a log canonical singularity. In the same way, by using a new notion, Mather-Jacobian…

An algebraic theory of dualities is developed based on the notion of bond algebras. It deals with classical and quantum dualities in a unified fashion explaining the precise connection between quantum dualities and the low temperature…

We prove a singularity theorem in semiclassical gravity without assuming global hyperbolicity or the null energy/curvature condition; the former is replaced by the weaker causality conditions of stable causality and past reflectivity, and…

We introduce a lifting property for local cohomology, which leads to a unified treatment of the dualizing complex for flat morphisms with semi-log-canonical, Du Bois or F-pure fibers. As a consequence we obtain that, in all 3 cases, the…

This article is an exposition of an elementary constructive proof of canonical resolution of singularities in characteristic zero, presented in detail in Invent. Math. 128 (1997), 207-302. We define a new local invariant and get an…

We consider a conjectured topological inequality for the number of equisingular moduli of a rational surface singularity, and prove it in some natural special cases. When the resolution dual graph is "sufficiently negative" (in a precise…

We generalize a vanishing theorem for the cohomology of symmetric powers of the cotangent bundle of subvarieties of projective space due to Schneider. From this we deduce new vanishing results for Green-Griffiths jet differential bundles,…

In this survey, we explain a version of topological $L^2$-Serre duality for singular complex spaces with arbitrary singularities. This duality can be used to deduce various $L^2$-vanishing theorems for the $\overline\partial$-equation on…

In a series of four papers we determine structures whose existence is dual, in the sense of complementary, to the existence of stars or combs. In the first paper of our series we determined structures that are complementary to arbitrary…
