We prove a conjecture of Shokurov which characterises toric varieties using log pairs.
We verify a special case of V. V. Shokurov's conjecture about characterization of toric varieties. More precisely, let $(X,D=\sum d_iD_i)$ be a three-dimensional log variety such that $K_X+D$ is numerically trivial and $(X,D)$ has only…
An explanation to the boundness of minimal log discrepancies conjectured by V.V. Shokurov would be that the minimal log discrepancies of a variety in its closed points define a lower semi-continuous function. We check this lower…
The main result of the work ``The nilpotence conjecture in K-theory of toric varieties'' is extended to all coefficient fields of characteristic 0, thus covering the class of genuine toric varieties.
I state a conjecture asserting that for all generic klt Fano varieties X, there exists a generalised cluster variety U and a surjection from the set of torus charts on U to the set of toric specializations of X. I prove the conjecture in…
We combine the Bondal-Uehara method for producing exceptional collections on toric varieties with a result of the first author and Favero to expand the set of varieties satisfying Orlov's Conjecture on derived dimension.
We study the $A$-discriminant of toric varieties. We reduce its computation to the case of irreducible configurations and describe its behavior under specialization of some of the variables to zero. We prove a Gale dual characterization of…
A conic bundle is a contraction $X\to Z$ between normal varieties of relative dimension $1$ such that $-K_X$ is relatively ample. We prove a conjecture of Shokurov which predicts that, if $X\to Z$ is a conic bundle such that $X$ has…
In this paper I verify Manin's conjecture for a class of rational projective toric varieties with a large class of heights other than the usual one that comes from the standard metric on projective space.
First, we shall formulate and prove Theorem of Lie-Kolchin type for a cone and derive some algebro-geometric consequences. Next, inspired by a recent result of Dinh and Sibony we pose a conjecture of Tits type for a group of automorphisms…
We prove a part of Shokurov's conjecture on characterization of toric varieties modulo the minimal model program and adjunction conjecture.
We show that very general hypersurfaces in odd-dimensional simplicial projective toric varieties verifying a certain combinatorial property satisfy the Hodge conjecture (these include projective spaces). This gives a connection between the…
A deep conjecture on torsion anomalous varieties states that if $V$ is a weak-transverse variety in an abelian variety, then the complement $V^{ta}$ of all $V$-torsion anomalous varieties is open and dense in $V$. We prove some cases of…
Given a projective contraction $\pi \colon X\rightarrow Z$ and a log canonical pair $(X, B)$ such that $-(K_X+B)$ is nef over a neighborhood of a closed point $z\in Z$, one can define an invariant, the complexity of $(X, B)$ over $z \in Z$,…
We discuss some variants of cone theorem for movable curves in any codimensions.
A foliation is of toric type when it has a combinatorial reduction of singularities. We show that every toric type foliation on (C3, 0), without saddle-nodes, has invariant surface. We extend the argument of Cano-Cerveau, done for the…
We study Gushel-Mukai (GM) varieties of dimension 4 or 6 in characteristic $p$. Our main result is the Tate conjecture for all such varieties over finitely generated fields of characteristic $p\geq 5$. In the case of GM sixfolds, we follow…
We show that a conjecture of Einsiedler, Kapranov, and Lind on adelic amoebas of subvarieties of tori and their intersections with open halfspaces of complementary dimension is false for subvarieties of codimension greater than one that…
Shokurov conjectured that the set of all log canonical thresholds on varieties of bounded dimension satisfies the ascending chain condition. In this paper we prove that the conjecture holds for log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties…
In this paper we describe the notion of a toric supervariety, generalizing that of a toric variety from the classical setting. We give a combinatorial interpretation of the category of quasinormal toric supervarieties with one odd dimension…
