We investigate exceptional sheaves on the Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_2$, as the first attempt toward the classification of exceptional objects on weak del Pezzo surfaces.
By Jahnke-Peternell-Radloff and Takeuchi, almost Fano threefolds with del Pezzo fibrations were classified. Among them, there exists 10 classes such that the existence of members of these was not proved. In this paper, we construct such…
We give sufficient conditions for the semisimplicity of quantum cohomology of Fano varieties of Picard rank 1. We apply these techniques to prove new semisimplicity results for some Fano varieties of Picard rank 1 and large index. We also…
The present paper provides a geometric characterization of complete flag varieties for semisimple algebraic groups. Namely, if $X$ is a Fano manifold whose all elementary contractions are $\mathbb P^1$-fibrations then $X$ is isomorphic to…
We classify primitive Fano threefolds in positive characteristic whose Picard numbers are at least two. We also classify Fano theefolds of Picard rank two.
We study the arithmetic of del Pezzo surfaces $Y$ of degree 2 over a function field, and in particular, the cokernel of the homomorphism from the Picard group to the Galois-invariants of the geometric Picard group $\operatorname{Pic} Y…
Associated with isoparametric foliations of unit spheres, there are two classes of minimal surfaces $-$ minimal isoparametric hypersurfaces and focal submanifolds. By virtue of their rich structures, we find new series of minimizing cones.…
We review properties of closed meromorphic $1$-forms and of the foliations defined by them. We present and explain classical results from foliation theory, like index theorems, the existence of separatrices, and resolution of singularities…
The Picard number of a Fano manifold X obtained by blowing up a curve in a smooth projective variety is known to be at most 5, in any dimension greater than or equal to 4. We show that the Picard number attains to the maximal if and only if…
We survey some of the recent works on the geometry of del Pezzo surfaces over imperfect fields, with applications to 3-dimensional del Pezzo fibrations in positive characteristic. We place particular emphasis on cases where the general…
In this work, we study dominant rational maps preserving singular holomorphic codimension one foliations on projective manifolds and that exhibit non-trivial transverse dynamics.
We consider classes of noncompact n-folds with trivial canonical bundle, that are linear foliations on nonsingular projective varieties, in general without a projection to the base. We obtain them as first-order deformations of total spaces…
We prove divisorial canonicity of Fano hypersurfaces and double spaces of general position with elementary singularities.
In this paper, we study a sextic del Pezzo fibration over a curve comprehensively. We obtain certain formulae of several basic invariants of such a fibration. We also establish the embedding theorem of such a fibration which asserts that…
This is a preliminary version of the paper for the Lecture Notes Series.
Del Pezzo fibrations appear as minimal models of rationally connected varieties. The rationality of smooth del Pezzo fibrations is a well studied question but smooth fibrations are not dense in moduli. Little is known about the rationality…
This manuscript is an introduction to the theory of holomorphic foliations on the complex projective plane. Historically the subject has emerged from the theory of ODEs in the complex domain and various attempts to solve Hilbert's 16th…
Del Pezzo surfaces over C with log terminal singularities of index \le 2 were classified by Alekseev and Nikulin. In this paper, for each of these surfaces, we find an appropriate morphism to projective space. These morphisms enable us to…
This paper contributes to the solution of the Poincare problem, which is to bound the degree of a (generalized algebraic) leaf of a (singular algebraic) foliation of the complex projective plane. The first theorem gives a new sort of bound,…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. A del Pezzo threefold F with maximal Picard number is isomorphic to P^1xP^1xP^1, where P^1 is the projective line over k. In the present paper we completely classify locally free…
