Let $X$ be a minimal projective threefold of general type over $\mathbb{C}$ with only Gorenstein quotient singularities, and let $\mathrm{Aut}_{\mathbb{Q}}(X)$ be the subgroup of automorphisms acting trivially on $H^*(X,\mathbb{Q})$. In…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety with a nef anticanonical divisor over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, we establish a precise structure of $X$ under the condition that $a_X: X \to {\rm Alb}(X)$ is…

In 1995, Koll\'ar conjectured that a smooth complex projective $n$-fold $X$ with generically large fundamental group has Euler characteristic $\chi(X, K_X)\geq 0$. In this paper, we prove the conjecture assuming $X$ has linear fundamental…

In this short article we show that if $(X, B)$ is a compact K\"ahler klt pair of maximal Albanese dimension, then it has a good minimal model, i.e. there is a bimeromorphic contraction $\phi:X\dashrightarrow X'$ such that $K_{X'}+B'$ is…

We continue our investigation of the geometry of the Albanese morphism on 0-cycles. We provide an example of a smooth projective variety with representable CH_0-group but with no universal 0-cycle, which answers a question asked by…

We consider the following conjecture: if X is a smooth projective variety over a field of characteristic zero, then there is a dense set of reductions X_s to positive characteristic such that the action of the Frobenius morphism on the top…

Let X be a smooth proper variety over a perfect field k of arbitrary characteristic. Let D be an effective divisor on X with multiplicity. We introduce an Albanese variety Alb(X, D) of X of modulus D as a higher dimensional analogon of the…

In this paper we prove a new generic vanishing theorem for $X$ a complete homogeneous variety with respect to an action of a connected algebraic group. Let $A, B_0\subset X$ be locally closed affine subvarieties, and assume that $B_0$ is…

We study normal compact K\"ahler spaces whose rational cohomology ring is isomorphic to that of a complex torus. We call them rational cohomology tori. We classify, up to dimension three, those with rational singularities. We then give…

Popa and Schnell show that any holomorphic 1-form on a smooth projective variety of general type has zeros. In this article, we show that a smooth good minimal model has a holomorphic 1-form without zero if and only if it admits an analytic…

Based on the celebrated result on zeros of holomorphic 1-forms on complex varieties of general type by Popa and Schnell, we study holomorphic 1-forms on $n$-dimensional varieties of Kodaira dimension $n-1$. We show that a complex minimal…

We coin the term \emph{$T$-trivial varieties} to denote smooth proper schemes over ground fields $k$ whose tangent sheaf is free. Over the complex numbers, this are precisely the abelian varieties. However, Igusa observed that in…

We prove the Demailly--Peternell--Schneider conjecture in positive characteristic: if $X$ is a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ with $-K_X$ is nef, then the Albanese morphism $a: X \to A$…

Let $a_X:X\rightarrow \mathrm{Alb}\, X$ be the Albanese map of a smooth complex projective variety. Roughly speaking in this note we prove that for all $i \geq 0$ and $\alpha\in \mathrm{Pic}^0\, X$, the cohomology ranks $h^i(\mathrm{Alb}\,…

In this paper we study the cohomology of smooth projective complex surfaces $S$ of general type with invariants $p_g = q = 2$ and surjective Albanese morphism. We show that on a Hodge-theoretic level, the cohomology is described by the…

We construct smooth projective varieties of general type with the smallest known volume and others with the most known vanishing plurigenera in high dimensions. The optimal volume bound is expected to decay doubly exponentially with…

We discuss secondary (and higher) characteristic classes for algebraic vector bundles with trivial top Chern class. We show that if X is a smooth affine scheme of dimension d over a field k of finite 2-cohomological dimension (with char(k)…

Let X be a projective variety, possibly singular. A generalized Albanese variety of X was constructed by Esnault, Srinivas and Viehweg over algebraically closed base field as a universal regular quotient of the relative Chow group of…

I prove that for any complex projective variety $X$ and a sufficiently large integer $N$ all the fibers of Albanese map of the $N$-th configuration space of $X$ are dominated by smooth connected projective varieties with vanishing ${\rm…

We show that if $X$ is a normal complex quasi-projective variety, the quasi-Albanese map of which is proper, then the torsionfree nilpotent quotients of $\pi_1(X)$ are, up to a controlled finite index, the same ones as those of the…
