In this paper, we give a numerical characterization of nef arithmetic R-Cartier divisors of C^0-type on an arithmetic surface. Namely an arithmetic R-Cartier divisor D of C^0-type is nef if and only if D is pseudo-effective and deg(D^2) =…
One of the most powerful ideas in the study and classification of algebraic varieties is the notion of a model: that is, to single out an object, in the appropriate isomorphism class, with nice properties. This survey aims to define and…
As a special case of a conjecture by Schwede and Smith, we prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with nef anti-canonical divisor is weak Fano if it is of globally $F$-regular type.
For any positive integer $r$, we construct a smooth complex projective rational surface which has at least $r$ real forms not isomorphic over $\mathbb{R}$.
In this paper we study effective, nef and semiample cones of minimal surfaces of general type with $p_g=0.$ We provide examples of minimal surfaces of general type with $p_g=0, 2 \leq K^2 \leq 9$ which are Mori dream spaces. On these…
We prove that a regular projective surface $S$ over a field $k$ of characteristic $p \ge 7$, with $H^0(S,\mathcal{O}_S) = k$ and $-K_S$ being nef, is geometrically integral over $k$.
We show that there exists a fine moduli space for torsion-free sheaves on a projective surface, which have a "good framing" on a big and nef divisor. This moduli space is a quasi-projective scheme. This is accomplished by showing that such…
Let k be an algebraically closed field complete with respect to a non-Archimedean absolute value of arbitrary characteristic. Let D_1,...,D_n be effective nef divisors intersecting transversally in an n-dimensional nonsingular projective…
We study the nef cones of complex smooth projective surfaces and give a sufficient criterion for them to be non-polyhedral. We use this to show that the nef cone of C x C, where C is a complex smooth projective curve of genus at least 2, is…
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb C$. Let $n,d\geq 1$. Let $\mathcal Q$ be the Quot scheme parameterizing torsion quotients of the vector bundle $\mathcal O^n_C$ of degree $d$. In this article we study the nef cone of…
We present a method for computing projective isomorphisms between rational surfaces that are given in terms of their parametrizations. The main idea is to reduce the computation of such projective isomorphisms to five base cases by…
We identify a set of initial rational contractions of fiber type on $\overline{M}_{0,6}$. Our proof uses a new algorithm we develop for verifying descriptions of the cone of effective divisors on varieties without elementary rational…
The objective of this article is to give an effective algebraic characterization of normal crossing hypersurfaces in complex manifolds. It is shown that a hypersurface has normal crossings if and only if it is a free divisor, has a radical…
We study the birational properties of hypersurfaces in products of projective spaces. In the case of hypersurfaces in P^m x P^n, we describe their nef, movable and effective cones and determine when they are Mori dream spaces. Using these…
The cones of divisors and curves defined by various positivity conditions on a smooth projective variety have been the subject of a great deal of work in algebraic geometry, and by now they are quite well understood. However the analogous…
We present a complete classification of complex projective surfaces $X$ with nontrivial self-maps (i.e. surjective morphisms $f:X\rightarrow X$ which are not isomorphisms) of any given degree. The starting point of our classification are…
We study the Iitaka-Kodaira dimension of nef relative anti-canonical divisors. As a consequence, we prove that given a complex projective variety with klt singularities, if the anti-canonical divisor is nef, then the dimension of a general…
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…
The main result is that a quasi-projective surface has negative log Kodaira dimension (i.e. no log pluricanonical sections) iff it is dominated by images of the affine line. This follows from our main intermediate result, that the smooth…
We show that nef cycle classes on smooth complete spherical varieties are effective, and the products of nef cycle classes are also nef. Let X be a smooth projective spherical variety such that its effective cycle classes of codimension k…
