We construct the first smooth embedded compact special Legendrian surfaces in \(\mathbb S^5\) of genus greater than one. More precisely, for every sufficiently large integer \(k\), we construct an embedded special Legendrian surface whose…

Real Legendrian subvarieties are classical objects of differential geometry and classical mechanics and they have been studied since antiquity. However, complex Legendrian subvarieties are much more rigid and have more exceptional…

A surface $\Sigma \subset S^5 \subset \mathbb{C}^3$ is called \emph{special Legendrian} if the cone $0 \times \Sigma \subset \mathbb{C}^3$ is special Lagrangian. The purpose of this paper is to propose a general method toward constructing…

We consider Legendrian contact structures on odd-dimensional complex analytic manifolds. We are particularly interested in integrable structures, which can be encoded by compatible complete systems of second order PDEs on a scalar function…

The theory of surfaces in Euclidean space can be naturally formulated in the more general context of Legendre surfaces into the space of contact elements. We address the question of deformability of Legendre surfaces with respect to the…

We investigate the geometry of Legendrian complex projective manifolds $X\subset\PP V$. By definition, this means $V$ is a complex vector space of dimension $2n+2$, endowed with a symplectic form, and the affine tangent space to $X$ at each…

Let $ X: M \hook S^5$ be a compact Legendrian surface in pseudoconformal(CR) 5-sphere. We introduce a pseudoconformally invariant Willmore type second order functional $ \W(X)$, and study its critical points called Willmore Legendrian…

We study a class of Legendrian surfaces in contact five-folds by encoding their wavefronts via planar combinatorial structures. We refer to these surfaces as Legendrian weaves, and to the combinatorial objects as N-graphs. First, we develop…

We classify completely the surfaces of general type whose canonical map is 3-to-1 onto a surface of minimal degree in projective space. These surfaces fall into 5 distinct classes and we give explicit examples belonging to each of these…

We study a new notion of critical point for the area of surfaces under the Legendrian constraint, called parametrized Hamiltonian stationary Legendrian varifolds (PHSLVs). We establish several fundamental properties of these objects,…

Let $S$ be a closed, orientable surface of genus $g\geq 2$. We consider Delaunay circle patterns on $S$ equipped with a complex projective structure. We prove that the space of complex projective structures on $S$ equipped with a Delaunay…

We provide explicit graded constructions of orbifold del Pezzo surfaces with rigid orbifold points of type $\left\{k_i\times\frac{1}{r_i}(1,a_i): 3\le r_i \le 10,k_i \in \ZZ_{\ge 0}\right\}$; as well-formed and quasismooth varieties…

In this article we study the deformation of finite maps and show how to use this deformation theory to construct varieties with given invariants in a projective space. Among other things, we prove a criterion that determines when a finite…

A contact distribution on projective three-space is defined by the 1-form $x_2dx_1-x_1dx_2+x_4dx_3-x_3dx_4$, up to a change of projective coordinates. The family of contact distributions is parameterized by the complement of the…

We introduce a new Legendrian isotopy invariant for any closed orientable Legendrian surface $L$ embedded in a closed contact $5$-manifold $(M, \xi)$ which admits an "admissable" open book $(B, f)$ (supporting $\xi$) for $L$. We show that…

Working over a perfect field, I classify normal del Pezzo surfaces with base number one that contain a nonrational singularity. They form a huge infinite hierarchy; contractions of ruled surfaces lie on top of it. Descending the hierarchy…

We present a method to construct a large family of Lagrangian surfaces in complex Euclidean plane by using Legendre curves in the 3-sphere and in the anti de Sitter 3-space or, equivalently, by using spherical and hyperbolic curves,…

We construct biregular models of families of log Del Pezzo surfaces with rigid cyclic quotient singularities such that a general member in each family is wellformed and quasismooth. Each biregular model consists of infinite series of such…

In this paper we will think of certain abelian categories with favorable properties as non-commutative surfaces. We show that under certain conditions a point on a non-commutative surface can be blown up. This yields a new non-commutative…

We introduce the notion of type-I projection cascade for a biregular model (infinite series) of log del Pezzo surfaces. We study the existence of type-I projection cascades for known classes of models of log del Pezzo surfaces, such that…
