Let $U$ be a $({ k-1 \choose 2}-1)$-dimensional subspace of quadratic forms defined on $\mathrm{PG}(k-1,{\mathbb F})$ with the property that $U$ does not contain any reducible quadratic form. Let $V(U)$ be the points of…

We prove, by an ad hoc method, that exact fillings with vanishing rational first Chern class of flexibly fillable contact manifolds have unique integral intersection forms. We appeal to the special Reeb dynamics (stronger than ADC \`a la…

In this paper, we show that general Fano complete intersections over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristics are separably rationally connected. Our proof also implies that general log Fano complete intersections with…

Let $k$ be a number field and $U$ a smooth integral $k$-variety. Let $X \to U$ be an abelian scheme. We consider the set $\mathcal{R}$ of rational points $m \in U(k)$ such that the Mordell-Weil rank of the fibre $U_{m}$ is strictly bigger…

A bar-joint framework $(G,p)$ in Euclidean $d$-space is rigid if the only edge-length-preserving continuous motions arise from isometries of $\mathbb{R}^d$. In the generic case, rigidity is determined by the generic $d$-dimensional rigidity…

In this note we generalize the methods of [1][2][3] to 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds M. We study the relations between the geometry of M and the number of solutions to a generalized Killing spinor equation obtained from a 5-dimensional…

Let $X\subset \mathbb{P}^4$ be a terminal factorial quartic $3$-fold. If $X$ is non-singular, $X$ is \emph{birationally rigid}, i.e. the classical MMP on any terminal $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial projective variety $Z$ birational to $X$ always…

Koll\'ar proved that a very general $n$-dimensional complex hypersurface of degree at least $3\lceil (n+3)/4\rceil$ is not birational to a fibration in rational curves. This is most interesting when the hypersurface is Fano, in which case…

We apply the specialization technique based on the decomposition of the diagonal to find an explicit example over $\mathbb{Q}$ of a quadric and cubic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^6$ such that their intersection is a smooth stably irrational…

In this paper we define a rigid rational homotopy type, associated to any variety $X$ over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic. We prove comparison theorems with previous definitions in the smooth and proper, and log-smooth and…

We consider three matroids defined by Kalai in 1985: the symmetric completion matroid $\mathcal{S}_d$ on the edge set of a looped complete graph; the hyperconnectivity matroid $\mathcal{H}_d$ on the edge set of a complete graph; and the…

We prove birational boundedness results on complete intersections with trivial canonical class of base point free divisors in (some version of) Fano varieties. Our results imply in particular that Batyrev-Borisov toric construction produces…

We exhibit a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold which satisfies a very strong form of Thurston's Virtual Fibration Conjecture. In particular, this manifold has finite covers which fiber over the circle in arbitrarily many ways. More precisely, it…

In this paper we try to further explore the linear model of the moduli of rational maps. Our attempt yields following results. Let $X\subset \mathbf P^n$ be a generic hypersurface of degree $h$. Let $R_d(X, h)$ denote the open set of the…

A rational vector field on a complex projective smooth surface $S$ is said to be birationally integrable if it generates, by integration, a one-parameter subgroup of the group $\operatorname{Bir}(S)$ of birational transformations of $S$. We…

Let S^3_r(K) be the oriented 3--manifold obtained by rational r-surgery on a knot K in S^3. Using the contact Ozsvath-Szabo invariants we prove, for a class of knots K containing all the algebraic knots, that S^3_r(K) carries positive,…

This is a sequal paper to math.AG/9909021. By using the theory of AZD originated by the author, I prove that for every smooth projective $n$-fold $X$ of general type and every \[ m\geq \lceil\sum_{\ell =1}^{n}\sqrt[\ell]{2} \ell\rceil +1,…

We prove the birational superrigidity and the nonrationality of a cyclic triple cover of $\mathbb{P}^{2n}$ branched over a nodal hypersurface of degree $3n$ for $n\ge 2$. In particular, the obtained result solves the problem of the…

We show a relation between the birational superrigidity of Fano manifold and its slope stability in the sense of Ross-Thomas.
