Let $G$ be a connected affine algebraic group and $X$ a regular $G$-variety (in the sense of Bifet-De Concini-Procesi) with open orbit $G/H$ and boundary divisor $D$. We show the vanishing of the $G$-equivariant Chern classes of the bundle…

Let $X$ be a smooth manifold with a (smooth) involution $\sigma:X\to X$ such that $Fix(\sigma)\ne \emptyset$. We call the space $P(m,X):=\mathbb{S}^m\times X/\!\sim$ where $(v,x)\sim (-v,\sigma(x))$ a generalized Dold manifold. When $X$ is…

For a system of ODEs defined on an open, convex domain $U$ containing a positively invariant set $\Gamma$, we prove that under appropriate hypotheses, $\Gamma$ is the graph of a $C^r$ function and thus a $C^r$ manifold. Because the…

In the first part of this paper we prove a vanishing criterion for higher direct images of projective families of line bundles on a Cohen-Macaulay variety X. The result involves certain first-order deformations of certain curves on X, and…

Let $X$ be a general complete intersection of a given multi-degree in a complex projective space. Suppose that the anti-canonical line bundle of $X$ is ample. Using the cylinder homomorphism associated with the family of complete…

We consider the classical problem of a position of n-dimensional manifold M in R^{n+2}. We show that we can define the fundamental (n+1)-cycle and the shadow fundamental (n+2)-cycle for a fundamental quandle of a knotting M to R^{n+2}. In…

We prove Wise's $W$-cycles conjecture. Consider a compact graph $\Gamma'$ immering into another graph $\Gamma$. For any immersed cycle $\Lambda:S^1\to \Gamma$, we consider the map $\Lambda'$ from the circular components $\mathbb{S}$ of the…

We show that the image of a dominant meromorphic map from an irreducible compact Calabi-Yau manifold $X$ whose general fiber is of dimension strictly between $0$ and $\dim X$ is rationally connected. Using this result, we construct for any…

We study the existence of a decomposition of the diagonal for bidegree hypersurfaces in a product of projective spaces. Using a cycle theoretic degeneration technique due to Lange, Pavic and Schreieder, we develop an inductive procedure…

In this paper, we first give a new simple proof to the elimination theorem of definite fold by homotopy for generic smooth maps of manifolds of dimension strictly greater than $2$ into the $2$--sphere or into the real projective plane. Our…

We prove that if M, N are finite modules over a Gorenstein local ring R of codimension at most 4, then the vanishing of Ext^n_R(M,N) for n\gg 0 is equivalent to the vanishing of Ext^n_R(N,M) for n\gg 0. Furthermore, if the completion of $R$…

We study relative zero cycles on the universal polarized $K3$ surface $X \to \mathcal{F}_g$ of degree $2g - 2$. It was asked by O'Grady if the restriction of any class in $\mathrm{CH}^2(X)$ to a closed fiber $X_s$ is a multiple of the…

We examine the action of the fundamental group $\Gamma$ of a Riemann surface with $m$ punctures on the middle dimensional homology of a regular fiber in a Lefschetz fibration, and describe to what extent this action can be recovered from…

The purpose of this article is to study the deformations of smooth surfaces $X$ of general type whose canonical map is a finite, degree 2 morphism onto a minimal rational surface or onto $\mathbf F_1$, embedded in projective space by a very…

We discuss a partial normalisation of a finite graph of finite groups $(\Gamma(-), X)$ which leaves invariant the fundamental group. In conjunction with an easy graph-theoretic result, this provides a flexible and rather useful tool in the…

Let M^7 a manifold with holonomy in G_2, and Y^3 an associative submanifold with boundary in a coassociative submanifold. In [5], the authors proved that M_{X,Y}, the moduli space of its associative deformations with boundary in the fixed…

Lehel conjectured that in every $2$-coloring of the edges of $K_n$, there is a vertex disjoint red and blue cycle which span $V(K_n)$. \L uczak, R\"odl, and Szemer\'edi proved Lehel's conjecture for large $n$, Allen gave a different proof…

O'Grady conjectured that the Chow group of 0-cycles of the generic fiber of the universal family over the moduli space of polarized K3 surfaces of genus g is cyclic. This so-called generalized Franchetta conjecture has been solved only for…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a finite, simple and connected graph. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$ which is not a leaf and let $T=T(x)$ denote the Terwilliger algebra of $\Gamma$ with respect to $x$. Assume that the unique irreducible $T$-module with…

We prove a global Torelli theorem for the moduli space of marked triples (X,m,A), consisting of an irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold X, a marking m of its second integral cohomology, and a stable and rigid sheaf A of Azumaya…
