In the present paper we consider fibrations $f: S \ra B$ of an algebraic surface onto a curve $B$, with general fibre a curve of genus $g$. Our main results are: 1) A structure theorem for such fibrations in the case $g=2$ 2) A structure…

We describe the foundation of the log minimal model program for log canonical pairs according to Ambro's idea. We generalize Koll\'ar's vanishing and torsion-free theorems for embedded simple normal crossing pairs. Then we prove the cone…

We prove a stronger version of a termination theorem appeared in the paper "On existence of log minimal models II". We essentially just get rid of the redundant assumptions so the proof is almost the same as in there. However, we give a…

We propose a simple proof of the vertical half-space theorem for Heisenberg space.

In this work we describe a minimal log-resolution of an ideal in a smooth complex surface from the minimal log-resolution of its generators.

We use the theory of motivic integration for singular spaces to give a characterization of minimal log discrepencies in terms of the codimension of certain subsets of spaces of arcs. This is done for arbitrary pairs $(X,Y)$, with $X$ normal…

We study (weak) log abelian varieties with constant degeneration in the log flat topology. If the base is a log point, we further study the endomorphism algebras of log abelian varieties. In particular, we prove the dual short exact…

We present an extension of several results on pairs and varieties to foliated surface pairs. We prove the boundedness of local complements, the local index theorem, and the uniform boundedness of minimal log discrepancies (mlds), as well as…

We give a characterization of toroidal (resp., semi-toric) compactifications due to Ash-Mumford-Rapoport-Tai (resp., Looijenga) as log minimal models and apply it to study weak K-moduli compactifications, giving a different proof to a…

We give a topological bound on the number of minimal models of a class of three dimensional log smooth pairs of general type.

We prove that every irreducible component of the coarse Koll\'ar-Shepherd-Barron and Alexeev (KSBA) moduli space of stable log Calabi--Yau surfaces admits a finite cover by a projective toric variety. This verifies a conjecture of…

We prove an enumerative min-max theorem that relates the number of genus g minimal surfaces in 3-manifolds of positive Ricci curvature to topological properties of the set of embedded surfaces of genus $\leq g$, possibly with finitely many…

We prove a reflection principle for minimal surfaces in smooth (non necessarily analytic) three manifolds and we give an explicit application when the ambient space is just a smooth manifold.

The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the construction of moduli spaces of curves from the viewpoint of the log minimal model program for M_g by providing an update of recent developments and discussing future problems. This…

In this note we revisit Lurie's representability theorem for geometric stacks and prove that one of the conditions can be mildly relaxed. The proof uses ideas from Hall--Rydh's work on the (classical) Artin's representability theorem. We…

We study minimal graphs in the homogeneous Riemannian 3-manifold $\widetilde{PSL_2(\mathbb{R})}$ and we give examples of invariant surfaces. We derive a gradient estimate for solutions of the minimal surface equation in this space and…

We investigate the topological structures of Galois covers of surfaces of minimal degree (i.e., degree n) in n+1 dimensional complex projective space. We prove that for n is greater than or equal to 5, the Galois covers of any surfaces of…

An introduction to geography of log models with applications to positive cones of FT varieties and to geometry of minimal models and Mori fibrations.

In this paper, we give a new proof of the foundational result, due to S. Cutkosky, on the existence of a monomialisation of a morphism from a 3-fold to a surface. Our proof brings to the fore the notion of log-Fitting ideals, and requires…

Recently a simple proof of the generalizations of Hawking's black hole topology theorem and its application to topological black holes for higher dimensional ($n\geq 4$) spacetimes was given \cite{rnew}. By applying the associated new line…
