The \emph{canonical degree} of a curve $C$ on a surface $X$ is $K_X\cdot C$. Our main result, is that on a surface of general type there are only finitely many curves with negative self--intersection and sufficiently large canonical degree.…

We construct some new deformation families of four-dimensional Fano manifolds of index $1$ in some known classes of Gorenstein formats. These families have explicit descriptions in terms of equations, defining their image under the…

We establish a family of parametric isoperimetric-type inequalities with multiple geometric quantities for closed convex curves. These inequalities hold under certain parameter conditions. We also prove the equality conditions. Some new…

A point $p$ on a smooth complex projective curve $C$ of genus $g>3$ is subcanonical if the divisor $(2g-2)p$ is canonical. In the moduli space of pointed curves, the subcanonical locus is described by pairs $(C,p)$ as above, and it consists…

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…

We prove the existence of a bound on the number of steps of the minimal model program for singular surfaces in terms of discrepancies and top Chern numbers. As an application, we prove that given $R\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\epsilon\in (0,1)$,…

We classify four-dimensional quasismooth weighted hypersurfaces with small canonical class, and verify a conjecture of Johnson and Kollar on infinite series of quasismooth hypersurfaces with anticanonical hyperplane section in the case of…

The main result of this note is an effective uniform bound for the number of deformation types of certain nonisotrivial families of canonically polarized manifolds. It extends the author's earlier such bound for the classical Shafarevich…

We show that the tangent bundle of a projective manifold with nef anticanonical class is generically nef. That is, its restriction to a curve cut out by general sufficiently ample divisors is a nef vector bundle. This confirms a conjecture…

In this paper, we show that the canonical divisor of a smooth toroidal compactification of a complex hyperbolic manifold must be nef if the dimension is greater or equal to three. Moreover, if $n\geq 3$ we show that the numerical dimension…

We compute the cohomology of the stack M_1 with coefficients in Z[1/2], and in low degrees with coefficients in Z. Cohomology classes on M_1 give rise to characteristic classes, cohomological invariants of families of curves of genus one.…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \geq 11$, non-tetragonal, considered in its canonical embedding in $\mathbf{P}^{g-1}$. We prove that $C$ is a linear section of an arithmetically Gorenstein normal variety $Y$ in…

Throughout the paper, among other esults, we give partial analogues of theorem 1.1 for projectivized tangent cone quadrics of rank equal or less than 4, for Prymians.

Few explicit families of 3-folds are known for which the computation of the canonical ring is accessible and the birational geometry non-trivial. In this note we investigate a family of determinantal 3-folds in $\mathbb P^2 \times \mathbb…

We first establish a family of sharp Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequalities on the Euclidean spaces and then extend them to the setting of Cartan-Hadamard manifolds with the same best constant. The quantitative version of these…

In this paper, we investigate the general notion of the slope for families of curves $f: X \to Y$. The main result is an answer to the above question when $\dim Y = 2$, and we prove a lower bound for this new slope in this case over fields…

We prove categorical Torelli theorems for four families of Fano double covers with Picard rank greater than 1. Among these is the family of Verra fourfolds. The other three families manifest as double covers of Fano threefolds, branched in…

We study a pointwise inequality for submanifolds in real space forms involving the scalar curvature, the normal scalar curvature and the mean curvature. We translate it into an algebraic problem, allowing us to prove a slightly weaker…

In this paper we show that the relative canonical sheaf of a relatively minimal fibration of curves over a curve is semi-ample ; in fact, its m-tensored product is base point free for any m > 1. We use Koszul cohomology with it to prove…

In the present paper we classify all surfaces in $\E^3$ with a canonical principal direction. Examples of these type of surfaces are constructed. We prove that the only minimal surface with a canonical principal direction in the Euclidean…
