We give a numerical characterization of the Kahler cone of a possibly singular compact analytic variety which is embedded in a smooth ambient space.

We prove existence of Yamabe metrics on four-manifolds possessing finitely-many conical points with $\mathbb{Z}_2$-group, using for the first time a min-max scheme in the singular setting. In our variational argument we need to deform…

We describe new explicit examples of moduli spaces of Bridgeland semistable objects on surfaces, parametrizing objects whose numerical class agrees with the class of a point. This follows ideas of Tramel and Xia, using stability conditions…

Starting from the QCD action in an instanton-like SU(2) Yang-Mills field theory, we derive equations of motion in Minkowski space. Possible bubble collisions are studued in a (1+1)-dimension reduction . We find gluonic structures like…

Topologically, compact toric varieties can be constructed as identification spaces: they are quotients of the product of a compact torus and the order complex of the fan. We give a detailed proof of this fact, extend it to the non-compact…

In a paper presented a few years ago, De Lorenci et al. showed, in the context of canonical quantum cosmology, a model which allowed space topology changes (Phys. Rev. D 56, 3329 (1997)). The purpose of this present work is to go a step…

We define a natural compactification of an arrangement complement in a ball quotient. We show that when this complement has a moduli space interpretation, then this compactification is often one that appears naturally by means of geometric…

We give a valuative criterion for when a smooth algebraic stack with a separated good moduli space is the quotient of a separated Deligne-Mumford stack by a torus. For doing so, we introduce a new class of morphisms, the so-called effective…

We establish the extrinsic Bonnet-Myers Theorem for compact Riemannian manifolds with positive Ricci curvature. And we show the almost rigidity for compact hypersurfaces, which have positive sectional curvature and almost maximal extrinsic…

Let $A$ be a commutative and unital $\mathbb{R}$-algebra, and $M$ be an Archimedean quadratic module of $A$. We define a submultiplicative seminorm $\|\cdot\|_M$ on $A$, associated with $M$. We show that the closure of $M$ with respect to…

When can a map between manifolds be deformed away from itself? We describe a (normal bordism) obstruction which is often computable and in general much stronger than the classical primary obstruction in cohomology. In particular, it answers…

We study harmonic map sequences from surfaces to compact homogeneous spaces. For sequences developing a single bubble, we derive refined asymptotic expansions in the neck region and prove new obstruction relations among the leading…

In 1984, Charney and Lee defined a category of stable curves and exhibited a rational homology equivalence from its geometric realisation to (the analytification of) the moduli stack of stable curves, also known as the…

For a linear subvariety $M$ of a stratum of meromorphic differentials, we investigate its closure in the multi-scale compactification constructed by Bainbridge-Chen-Gendron-Grushevsky-M\"oller. We prove various restrictions on the type of…

We discuss automorphisms and pseudo-automorphisms on blowups of complex projective space with an eye to finding ones with interesting dynamical behavior.

We address the problem of bounding from below the self-intersection of integral curves on the projective plane blown-up at general points. In particular, by applying classical deformation theory we obtain the expected bound in the case of…

After a historical discussion of classical uniformisation results for Riemann surfaces, of problems appearing in higher dimensions, and of uniformisation results for projective manifolds with trivial or ample canonical bundle, we introduce…

In this paper, we describe a general theory of "spaces with structure sheaves." Specializations of this theory include the classical theory of schemes, the theory of Deligne-Mumford stacks, and their derived generalizations.

We give another proof of Le Potier's result and some variants on moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on the projective plane, using the Bridgeland stability conditions. As an application we study the wall-crossing phenomena of the Hilbert…

We introduce in this paper a hypercohomology version of the resonance varieties and obtain some relations to the characteristic varieties of rank one local systems on a smooth quasi-projective complex variety $M$, see Theorem (3.1) and…
