We study the minimal complex surfaces of general type with $p_g=0$ and $K^2=7$ or 8 whose bicanonical map is not birational. In the paper 'The bicanonical map of surfaces with $p_g=0$ and $K^2\ge 7$' we have shown that if $S$ is such a…

We examine the different ways of writing a cover of curves $\phi\colon C\to D$ over a field $K$ as a composition $\phi=\phi_n\circ\phi_{n-1}\circ\dots\circ\phi_1$, where each $\phi_i$ is a cover of curves over $K$ of degree at least $2$…

A $1$-factorization of the complete multigraph $\lambda K_{2n}$ is said to be indecomposable if it cannot be represented as the union of $1$-factorizations of $\lambda_0 K_{2n}$ and $(\lambda-\lambda_0) K_{2n}$, where $\lambda_0<\lambda$.…

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We shall give a detailed classification up to baskets of singularities on a minimal model of $V$. We show that the $m$-canonical map of $V$ is birational for all $m\geq 73$…

The Lie algebra version of the Krull-Schmidt Theorem is formulated and proved. This leads to a method for constructing the automorphisms of a direct sum of Lie algebras from the automorphisms of its indecomposable components. For…

A geometric realization of a birational map $\psi$ among two complex projective varieties is a variety $X$ endowed with a $\mathbb{C}^*$-action inducing $\psi$ as the natural birational map among two extremal geometric quotients. In this…

We provide a classification of complex projective surfaces with a holomorphic foliation whose group of birational symetries is infinite.

The dynamical degree $\lambda(f)$ of a birational transformation $f$ measures the exponential growth rate of the degree of the formulae that define the $n$-th iterate of $f$. We study the set of all dynamical degrees of all birational…

An explicit invariant-theoretic description of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_3^1$ of degree-three rational maps on $\mathbb{P}^1$ is developed. A cubic map $\phi$ is represented, up to conjugation, by the pair of binary forms $(f, g) \in…

We prove that a finite group acting by birational automorphisms of a non-trivial Severi-Brauer surface over a field of characteristic zero contains a normal abelian subgroup of index at most 3. Also, we find an explicit bound for orders of…

We prove explit formulas for the decomposition of a differential graded Lie algebra into a minimal and a linear $L_\infty$-algebra. We define a category of metric $L_\infty$-algebras, called Palamodov $L_\infty$ algebras, where the…

We use a counting argument and surgery theory to show that if $D$ is a sufficiently general algebraic hypersurface in $\Bbb C^n$, then any local diffeomorphism $F:X \to \Bbb C^n$ of simply connected manifolds which is a $d$-sheeted cover…

A classical approach for surface classification is to find a compact algebraic representation for each surface that would be similar for objects within the same class and preserve dissimilarities between classes. We introduce Self…

Given a normal surface singularity $(X, Q)$ and a birational morphism to a non- singular surface $\pi : X \to S$, we investigate the local geometry of the exceptional divisor $L$ of $\pi$. We prove that the dimension of the tangent space to…

In [7, Papadima and Suciu, When does the associated graded Lie algebra of an arrangement group decompose? Comment. Math. Helv. {\bf 81:4} (2006), 859--875] it is proved that the holonomy Lie algebra of an arrangement of hyperplanes through…

An automorphism of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a bijective map $\phi$ from $V$ to itself such that $\phi(v_i)\phi(v_j)\in E$ $\Leftrightarrow$ $v_i v_j\in E$ for any two vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$. Denote by $\mathfrak{G}$ the group consisting of…

We consider the line graph of a pure simplicial complex. We prove that, as in the case of line graphs of simple graphs, one can compute the second graded Betti number of the facet ideal of a pure simplicial complex in terms of the…

We give a new proof of the classification of normal singular surface germs admitting non-invertible holomorphic self-maps and due to J. Wahl. We then draw an analogy between the birational classification of singular holomorphic foliations…

Every indefinite binary form occurs as the Picard lattice of some K3-surface. The group of its isometries, or automorphs, coincides with the automorphism group of the K3-surface, but only up to finite groups. The classical theory of…

Let $X$ be a connected component of the maximal orthogonal grassmannian of a generic $n$-dimensional quadratic form $q$ with trivial Clifford invariant. Consider the canonical epimorphism $\phi$ from the Chow ring of $X$ to the associated…
