A cyclic cover of the complex projective line branched at four appropriate points has a natural structure of a square-tiled surface. We describe the combinatorics of such a square-tiled surface, the geometry of the corresponding…

Beauville and Voisin proved that the third modified diagonal of a complex K3 surface X represents a torsion class in the Chow group of X^3. Motivated by this result and by conjectures of Beauville and Voisin on the Chow ring of hyperkaehler…

We study one-parameter conifold degenerations whose central fiber has finitely many ordinary double points. Working within a deliberately minimal finite-node bulk/localized-sector formalism, we identify the first categorical layer suggested…

In this note we are going to prove that if we have a fibration of smooth projective varieties $X\to S$ over a surface $S$ such that $X$ is of dimension four and that the geometric generic fiber has finite dimensional motive and the first…

We consider closed subschemes in the affine grassmannian obtained by degenerating $e$-fold products of flag varieties, embedded via a tuple of dominant cocharacters. For $G= \operatorname{GL}_2$, and cocharacters small relative to the…

Consider an external product of a higher cycle and a usual cycle which is algebraically equivalent to zero. Assume there exists an algebraically closed subfield k such that the higher cycle and its ambient variety are defined over k, but…

We prove a variant of a formula due to S. Zhang relating the Beilinson-Bloch height of the Gross-Schoen cycle on a pointed curve with the self-intersection of its relative dualizing sheaf. In our approach the height of the Gross-Schoen…

We construct a collection of families of higher Chow cycles of type $(2,1)$ on a 2-dimensional family of Kummer surfaces, and prove that for a very general member, they generate a subgroup of rank $\ge 18$ in the indecomposable part of the…

We study zero-cycles in families of rationally connected varieties. We show that for a smooth projective scheme over a henselian discrete valuation ring the restriction of relative zero cycles to the special fiber induces an isomorphism on…

Let X --> S be a smooth projective family of surfaces over a smooth curve S such that the generic fiber is a surface with Weil H^2 spanned by divisors and trivial H^1. We prove that if the relative motive of X/S is finite-dimensional the…

This paper studies generalizations of the concept of acyclic orientations to arc-weighted orientations. These lead to four types of variations of strict degeneracy of graphs. Some of these variations are studied in the literature under…

This is the second part of the paper "A degeneration of stable morphisms and relative stable morphisms", (math.AG/0009097). In this paper, we constructed the relative Gromov-Witten invariants of a pair of a smooth variety and a smooth…

Using a codimension-$1$ algebraic cycle obtained from the Poincar\'e line bundle, Beauville defined the Fourier transform on the Chow groups of an abelian variety $A$ and showed that the Fourier transform induces a decomposition of the Chow…

In this paper, we construct higher Chow cycles of type $(2, 1)$ on a certain family of surfaces, which are constructed by a product of certain hypergeometric curves of degree $N$. We prove that for a very general member, these cycles are…

By using higher K-theory, we study deformation theory of K-theoretic cycles. As an application, we answer two questions posed by Mark Green and Philip Griffiths: (1). How to define tangent spaces to cycle class groups in general? (2).…

In this paper we study smooth, non-special scrolls S of degree d, genus g, with general moduli. In particular, we study the scheme of unisecant curves of a given degree on S. Our approach is mostly based on degeneration techniques.

We describe degenerations of three-dimensional Jordan superalgebras over $\mathbb{C}$. In particular, we describe all irreducible components in the corresponding varieties.

The population dynamics in a modified Leslie-Gower model with an additive Allee effect are highly sensitive to both parameters and initial population densities, leading to outcomes ranging from coextinction to sustained multistable steady…

The staggered 6-vertex model describes the competition between surface roughening and reconstruction in (100) facets of CsCl type crystals. Its phase diagram does not have the expected generic structure, due to the presence of a…

In this article, we extend Grothendieck's standard conjectures to cycles on degenerated fibers and use them to define some decompositions for the arithmetic Chow group of Gillet--Soul\'e. In the local setting, our decompositions provide…
