We establish the Hodge conjecture for some subvarieties of a class of toric varieties. First we study quasi-smooth intersections in a projective simplicial toric variety, which is a suitable notion to generalize smooth complete intersection…
Our (weak) conjecture claims that a finite dimensional Lie algebra ${\bf g}$ over the field of complex numbers is semi-simple iff the Leibniz homology vanishes in positive dimensions $HL_i({\bf g})=0$, $i>0$. We will indicate a mistake in…
In this paper, we prove the strong form of the Watanabe-Yoshida conjecture for complete intersection singularities in every positive characteristic. In characteristics 2 and 3, we explicitly compute the Hilbert-Kunz functions of the A1 and…
We prove a precise inversion of adjunction formula for the log pair associated to a non-degenerate hypersurface. As a corollary, the minimal log discrepancies of non-degenerate normal hypersurface singularities are bounded from above by…
We define the singular orbifold elliptic genus and $E$-function for all normal surfaces without strictly log-canonical singularities, and prove the analogue of the McKay correspondence in this setting. Our invariants generalize the stringy…
This paper develops a theory of isolated hypersurface singularities in mixed characteristic $(0,p)$, focusing on quotient rings over a Discrete Valuation Ring (DVR). We introduce and study analogues of the classical Tjurina and Milnor…
We prove a lower bound for the Milnor number of function germ invariant with respect to a finite abelian group action. It is shown that this bound is tight for functions of arbitrarily many variables. We also prove the function germs that…
In this paper, we prove the Geometric Arveson-Douglas Conjecture for a special case which allow some singularity on $\partial{\mathbb{B}_n}$. More precisely, we show that if a variety can be decomposed into two varieties, each having nice…
Since the transformative workshop by the American Institute of Mathematics on the minimum rank of a graph, two longstanding open problems have captivated the community interested in the minimum rank of graphs: the graph complement…
We prove a new non-splitting result for the cohomology of the Milnor fiber, reminiscent of the classical result proved independently by Lazzeri, Gabrielov, and L\^e in 1973-74. We do this while exploring a conjecture of Bobadilla about a…
In 1972, Kainen proved a general lower bound on the crossing number of a graph in a closed surface and conjectured that this bound is tight when the graph is either a complete graph or a complete bipartite graph, and the surface is of genus…
We employ the perverse vanishing cycles to show that each reduced cohomology group of the Milnor fiber, except the top two, can be computed from the restriction of the vanishing cycle complex to only singular strata with a certain lower…
We show that infinitely many Gorenstein weakly-exceptional quotient singularities exist in all dimensions, we prove a weak-exceptionality criterion for five-dimensional quotient singularities, and we find a sufficient condition for being…
In this article, under mild constraints on the sectional curvature, we exploit a divergence formula for symmetric endomorphisms to deduce a general Poincar\'e type inequality. We apply such inequality to higher-order mean curvature of…
In this paper we compare different notions of transversality for possible singular complex algebraic or analytic subsets of an ambient complex manifold and prove a refined intersection formula for their Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes. In…
We show three basic properties on the image Milnor number $\mu_I(f)$ of a germ $f\colon(\mathbb{C}^{n},S)\rightarrow(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$ with isolated instability. First, we show the conservation of the image Milnor number, from which one…
Pursuing McQuillan's philosophy in proving the Green-Griffiths conjecture for certain surfaces of general type, we deal with the algebraic degeneracy of entire curves tangent to holomorphic foliations by curves. Inspired by the recent work…
The Hirsch Conjecture (1957) stated that the graph of a $d$-dimensional polytope with $n$ facets cannot have (combinatorial) diameter greater than $n-d$. That is, that any two vertices of the polytope can be connected by a path of at most…
We prove an all genera version of the Crepant Resolution Conjecture of Ruan and Bryan-Graber for type A surface singularities. We are based on a method that explicitly computes Hurwitz-Hodge integrals described in an earlier paper and some…
A cusp singularity is an elliptic surface singularity whose minimal resolution is a cycle of smooth rational curves meeting transversely. Cusp singularities come in naturally dual pairs. In 1981, Looijenga proved that whenever a cusp…
