Let $V$ be a smooth quasi-projective complex surface with compactification $(X,D)$ and set $\overline P_1(V):=h^0(X,K_X+D)$, $\overline q(V):=h^0(X,\Omega^1_X(\log D))$. We prove that $\overline P_1(V)\ge \overline q(V)-1$ if $V$ has…

We classify elliptic K3 surfaces in characteristic $p$ with $p^n$-torsion sections. For $p^n\geq3$ we verify conjectures of Artin and Shioda, compute the heights of their formal Brauer groups, as well as Artin invariants and Mordell--Weil…

We investigate the relations between the syzygies of the Jacobian ideal of the defining equation for a projective hypersurface $V$ with isolated singularities and the Torelli properties of $V$ (in the sense of Dolgachev-Kapranov). We show…

The Hadamard rank of a point with respect to a projective variety is, if it exists, the minimum number of points of the variety whose coordinate-wise product is the given point. We classify the projective varieties for which the Hadamard…

Based on the result on derived categories on K3 surfaces due to Mukai and Orlov and the result concerning almost-prime numbers due to Iwaniec, we remark the following fact: For any given positive integer N, there are N (mutually…

Consider the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic genus two curve defined over a prime field of characteristic p and with complex multiplication. In this paper we show that the p-Sylow subgroup of the Jacobian is either trivial or of order p.

Real Legendrian subvarieties are classical objects of differential geometry and classical mechanics and they have been studied since antiquity. However, complex Legendrian subvarieties are much more rigid and have more exceptional…

Let $X$ be an elliptic K3 surface endowed with two distinct Jacobian elliptic fibrations $\pi_i$, $i=1,2$, defined over a number field $k$. We prove that there is an elliptic curve $C\subset X$ such that the generic rank over $k$ of $X$…

Let $X$ be a smooth $n$-dimensional projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ such that $K_X$ is not nef. We give a characterization of non nef extremal rays of $X$ of maximal length (i.e of length $n-1$); in the case of…

We present a method to compute the geometric Picard rank of a $K3$ surface over $\bbQ$. Contrary to a widely held belief, we show it is possible to verify Picard rank $1$ using reduction only at a single prime. Our method is based on…

Let $X$ be a real algebraic variety with set of complex points $X_{\mathbb C}$ and set of real points $X_{\mathbb R}$. A complex slice of $X$ is a transverse intersection of $X_{\mathbb R}$ with a complex subvariety $V$ of $X_{\mathbb C}$.…

We classify smooth projective varieties of Picard rank 2 which has two structures of blow-up of projective space along smooth subvarieties of different dimensions. This gives a characterization of the so called quadro-cubic Cremona…

Suppose that $K$ is a field of characteristic 0, $p$ is an odd prime, $r$ a positive integer, $q=p^r$ a prime power. Suppose that $f(x)$ is a polynomial of degree $n > 4$ with coefficients in $K$ and without multiple roots. Let us consider…

We construct a family of examples of Legendrian subvarieties in some projective spaces. Although most of them are singular, a new example of smooth Legendrian variety in dimension 8 is in this family. The 8-fold has interesting properties:…

We introduce a new class of fine compactified Jacobians for nodal curves, that we call fine compactified Jacobians of vine type, or simply fine V-compactified Jacobians. This class is strictly larger than the class of fine classical…

We study Mordell-Weil rank jumps on families of jacobians of a pencil of genus-2 curves on a K3 surface defined over a number field k. We exhibit a finite extension l/k over which the subset of fibers for which the rank jumps is infinite.…

In this notes we study complex projective plane curves whose graded module of Jacobian syzygies is generated by its minimal degree component. Examples of such curves include the smooth curves as well as the maximal Tjurina curves. However,…
