In this paper we generalize Cherednik's method and prove that certain Shimura varieties corresponding to groups of unitary similitudes and automorphic vector bundles over them have p-adic uniformization. This is proved for Shimura…

We give a new lower bound for the essential minimum of subvarieties of abelian varieties with small codimension, under a conjecture about ordinary primes in abelian varieties. This lower bound is already known in the toric case since the…

We prove that any smooth complex projective variety with generic vanishing index bigger or equal than 2 has birational bicanonical map. Therefore, if X is a smooth complex projective variety X with maximal Albanese dimension and…

In a previous paper we defined the concept of an affinized projective variety and its associated Hilbert series. We computed the Hilbert series for varieties associated to quadratic monomial ideals. In this paper we show how to apply these…

A phylogenetic variety is an algebraic variety parameterized by a statistical model of the evolution of biological sequences along a tree. Understanding this variety is an important problem in the area of algebraic statistics with…

This paper explores Maximum Likelihood in parametric models in the context of Sanov type Large Deviation Probabilities. MLE in parametric models under weighted sampling is shown to be associated with the minimization of a specific…

In this paper we establish the optimal multilinear restriction estimate for n-1 hypersurfaces with some curvature, where $n$ is the dimension of the underlying space. The result is sharp up to the endpoint and the role of curvature is made…

For $C^{1+}$ maps, possibly non-invertible and with singularities, we prove that each homoclinic class of an ergodic adapted hyperbolic measure carries at most one adapted hyperbolic measure of maximal entropy. We then apply this to study…

We give an explicit formula for the reciprocal maximum likelihood degree of Brownian motion tree models. To achieve this, we connect them to certain toric (or log-linear) models, and express the Brownian motion tree model of an arbitrary…

We prove hyperbolicity of global minimizers for random Lagrangian systems in dimension 1. The proof considerably simplifies a related result in [2]. The conditions for hyperbolicity are almost optimal: they are essentially the same as…

We define a generalized likelihood function based on uncertainty measures and show that maximizing such a likelihood function for different measures induces different types of classifiers. In the probabilistic framework, we obtain…

We show that the reciprocal maximal likelihood degree (rmld) of a diagonal linear concentration model $\mathcal L \subseteq \mathbb{C}^n$ of dimension $r$ is equal to $(-2)^r\chi_M( \textstyle\frac{1}{2})$, where $\chi_M$ is the…

We prove that every smooth projective variety with maximal Albanese dimension has a good minimal model. We also treat Ueno's problem on subvarieties of Abelian varieties.

In this thesis we looked into three different problems which share, as a common factor, the exstensive use of the Fourier--Mukai transform as research tool. In the first Part we investigated the syzygies of Kummer varieties (i.e. quotients…

We study the first step of the weight filtration on the cohomology of a proper complex algebraic variety, which we call the combinatorial part. We obtain a natural upper bound on its size, which gives rather strong information about the…

We determine an upper bound for the cohomological dimension of the complement of a closed subset in a projective variety which possesses an appropriate stratification. We apply the result to several particular cases, including the…

We consider surjective endomorphisms f of degree > 1 on projective manifolds X of Picard number one and their f^{-1}-stable hypersurfaces V, and show that V is rationally chain connected. Also given is an optimal upper bound for the number…

We prove that several invariants of a possibly singular complex affine or projective variety of degree $d$ in the affine space $\mathbb{A}^{n}$, or $\mathbb{P}^n$, are bounded by a function of $d$ alone, provided $b_{1}=0$ for a resolution…

Consider a polynomial F such that each variable appears in exactly one monomial. The hypersurface defined by the polynomial F is called a hypersurface with separable variables. A variety is called rigid if there are no nontrivial actions of…

Let $X$ be a codimension 1 subvariety of dimension $>1$ of a variety of minimal degree $Y$. If $X$ is subcanonical with Gorenstein canonical singularities admitting a crepant resolution, then $X$ is Arithmetically Gorenstein and we…
