We give new proofs of the K-polystability of two smooth Fano threefolds. One of them is a~smooth divisor in $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $(1,1,1)$, which is unique up to isomorphism. Another one is the~blow…
We prove a Kuranishi-type theorem for deformations of complex structures on ALE K\"ahler surfaces. This is used to prove that for any scalar-flat K\"ahler ALE surface, all small deformations of complex structure also admit scalar-flat…
We show that for a weak $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano threefold $X$ of Picard rank two ($\mathbb{Q}$-factorial with at worst terminal singularities), the anticanonical volume satisfies $-K_X^3\leq72$ except in one case, and the equality holds only if…
We show that being a general fibre of a Mori fibre space is a rather restrictive condition for a Fano variety. More specifically, we obtain two criteria (one sufficient and one necessary) for a Q-factorial Fano variety with terminal…
This thesis is devoted to the study of abelian automorphism groups of surfaces and $3$-folds of general type over complex number field $\Bbb C$. We obtain a linear bound in $K^3$ for abelian automorphism groups of $3$-folds of general type…
In this paper, we prove that klt singularities are invariant under deformations if the generic fiber is $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein. We also obtain a similar result for slc singularities. These are generalizations of results of Esnault-Viehweg…
A famous theorem of Shokurov states that a general anticanonical divisor of a smooth Fano threefold is a smooth K3 surface. This is quite surprising since there are several examples where the base locus of the anticanonical system has…
Recent work ([18], [1]) has produced a complete list of weighted homogeneous surface singularities admitting smoothings whose Milnor fibre has only trivial rational homology (a "rational homology disk"). Though these special singularities…
This paper is a continuation of our first paper [10] in which we showed how deformation theory of representation varieties can be used to study finite simple quotients of triangle groups. While in Part I, we mainly used deformations of the…
Fano surfaces parametrize the lines of smooth cubic threefolds. In this paper, we study their quotients by some of their automorphism sub-groups. We obtain in that way some interesting surfaces of general type.
The notion of $q$-deformed lattice gauge theory is introduced. If the deformation parameter is a root of unity, the weak coupling limit of a 3-$d$ partition function gives a topological invariant for a corresponding 3-manifold. It enables…
We study focus-focus singularities (also known as nodal singularities, or pinched tori) of Lagrangian fibrations on symplectic $4$-manifolds. We show that, in contrast to elliptic and hyperbolic singularities, there exist homeomorphic…
A smooth variety is said to satisfy Condition (A) if every finite abelian subgroup of its automorphism group has a fixed point. We classify smooth Fano 3-folds that satisfy Condition (A).
This is a series of two papers in which we solve the Clemens conjecture: there are only finitely many smooth rational curves of each degree in a generic quintic threefold. In this first paper, we deal with a family of smooth Calabi-Yau…
We prove an optimal Kawamata-Miyaoka-type inequality for terminal $\mathbb Q$-Fano threefolds with Fano index at least $3$. As an application, any terminal $\mathbb Q$-Fano threefold $X$ satisfies the following Kawamata-Miyaoka-type…
We classify all 1-nodal degenerations of smooth Fano threefolds with Picard number 1 (both nonfactorial and factorial) and describe their geometry. In particular, we describe a relation between such degenerations and smooth Fano threefolds…
We study local, global and local-to-global properties of threefolds with certain singularities. We prove criteria for these threefolds to be rational homology manifolds and conditions for threefolds to satisfy rational Poincar\'e duality.…
In this paper we show that a general element of $|-K_X|$ on a four-dimensional Fano manifold has at most terminal singularities. We then determine an explicit local expression of these singular points.
In this paper we develop the theory of equisingular deformations of plane curve singularities in arbitrary characteristic. We study equisingular deformations of the parametrization and of the equation and show that the base space of its…
We study singularities of surfaces which are given by Kenmotsu-type formula with prescribed unbounded mean curvature.
