We establish a general min-max type theorem that produces minimal surfaces with prescribed genus in 3-manifolds with positive Ricci curvature. An important intermediate step is to show that, in a generic metric with positive Ricci…

In this paper, combining the works of Miyanishi-Tsunoda and Keel-McKernan, we prove the log Castelnuovo's rationality criterion for smooth quasiprojective surfaces over complex numbers.

This is a brief introduction to the theory of Enriques surfaces over arbitrary algebraically closed fields. Some new results about automorphism groups of Enriques surfaces are also included.

This is an expanded version of my plenary lecture at the 8th European Congress of Mathematics in Portoro\v{z} on 23 June 2021. The main part of the paper is a survey of recent applications of complex-analytic techniques to the theory of…

We completely prove the ACC for minimal log discrepancies on smooth threefolds. It implies on smooth threefolds the ACC for a-lc thresholds, the uniform m-adic semi-continuity of minimal log discrepancies and the boundedness of the log…

We study log canonical models of foliated surfaces of general type. In particular, we show that log canonical models of general type and their minimal partial du Val resolutions are bounded. Moreover, we show the valuative criteria of…

We give an upper bound for the minimal discrepancies of hypersurface singularities. As an application, we show that Shokurov's conjecture is true for log-terminal threefolds.

Using the theory of minimal models of quasi-projective surfaces we give a new proof of the theorem of Lin-Zaidenberg which says that every topologically contractible algebraic curve in the complex affine plane has equation $X^n=Y^m$ in some…

This paper proposes a Fujita-type freeness conjecture for semi-log canonical pairs. We prove it for curves and surfaces by using the theory of quasi-log schemes and give some effective very ampleness results for stable surfaces and semi-log…

We show that the minimal volume of surfaces of log general type, with non-empty non-klt locus on the ample model, is $\frac{1}{825}$. Furthermore, the ample model $V$ achieving the minimal volume is determined uniquely up to isomorphism.…

In this paper we survey with complete proofs some well--known, but hard to find, results about constructing closed embedded minimal surfaces in a closed 3-dimensional manifold via min--max arguments. This includes results of J. Pitts, F.…

We study toric varieties over an arbitrary field with an emphasis on toric surfaces in the Merkurjev-Panin motivic category of "K-motives". We explore the decomposition of certain toric varieties as K-motives into products of central simple…

The aim of this note is to give a quick algebraic proof of (the combinatorial part of) the classification theorem for compact real surfaces, whose classical proofs (as in the Massey book and in the Conway ZIP proof) are based on surgery…

We give an alternative proof of the Kulikov-Persson-Pinkham Theorem for a proper K\"ahler degeneration of K-trivial smooth surfaces. After running the Minimal Model Program, the obtained minimal dlt model has mild singularities which we…

The purpose of this article is to develop techniques for estimating basis log canonical thresholds on logarithmic surfaces. To that end, we develop new local intersection estimates that imply log canonicity. Our main motivation and…

We investigate special lcs and twisted Hamiltonian torus actions on strict lcs manifolds and characterize them geometrically in terms of the minimal presentation. We prove a convexity theorem for the corresponding twisted moment map,…

The idea of contact angle was generalized by using the principle of minimum total energy. The problems of the shape of the two-dimensional sessile drop and the drop on an inclined surface are considered. The differential equations…

We introduce a new version of Floer theory of a non-monotone Lagrangian submanifold which only uses least area holomorphic disks with boundary on it. We use this theory to prove non-displaceability theorems about continuous families of…

We compute the algebraic $K$-theory of some classes of surfaces defined over finite fields. We achieve this by first calculating the motivic cohomology groups and then studying the motivic Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence. In an…

The purpose of this article is to give an interpretation of real projective structures and associated cohomology classes in terms of connections, sections, etc. satisfying elliptic partial differential equations in the spirit of Hodge…
