Let $S$ be a closed orientable hyperbolic surface, and let $\mathcal{O}(K,S)$ denote the number of mapping class group orbits of curves on $S$ with at most $K$ self-intersections. Building on work of Sapir [16], we give upper and lower…

We describe some relations between coefficients of irreducible components of the first Chern class [FP15] and birational germs introduced by Dloussky {Dl16] for intermediate Kato surfaces.

We first construct closed spherical CR manifolds of dimension at least five having non-trivial first Chern class with real coefficients. We next prove a constraint on Chern classes with real coefficients of (not necessarily closed)…

We prove that for each sufficiently complicated orientable surface $S$, there exists an infinite image linear representation $\rho$ of $\pi_1(S)$ such that if $\gamma\in\pi_1(S)$ is freely homotopic to a simple closed curve on $S$, then…

We give an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Ma. Kato, namely that every compact complex surface $S$ in Kodaira's class $VII_0$ with $b_2(S) > 0$ and $b_2(S)$ rational curves, admits a global spherical shell.

The mapping class group of a surface $\S$ acts on the set of closed geodesics on $\S$. This action preserves self-intersection number. In this paper, we count the orbits of curves with at most $K$ self-intersections, for each $K \geq 1$.…

We define kappa classes on moduli spaces of KSBA stable varieties and pairs, generalizing the Miller-Morita-Mumford classes on moduli of curves, and compute them in some cases where the virtual fundamental class is known to exist, including…

In this paper we consider an elementary, and largely unexplored, combinatorial problem in low-dimensional topology. Consider a real 2-dimensional compact surface $S$, and fix a number of points $F$ on its boundary. We ask: how many…

A complex surface $S$ is said to be isogenous to a product if $S$ is a quotient $S=(C_1 \times C_2)/G$ where the $C_i$'s are curves of genus at least two, and $G$ is a finite group acting freely on $C_1 \times C_2$. In this paper we…

Various curve complexes with vertices representing multicurves on a surface $S$ have been defined, for example [3], [4] and [8]. The homology curve complex $\mathcal{HC}(S,\alpha)$ defined in [7] is one such complex, with vertices…

We investigate bi-Hermitian metrics on compact complex surfaces with odd first Betti number producing new examples with connected anti-canonical divisor using the general construction of \cite{abd15}. The result is a complete classification…

We show that under Ricci curvature integral assumptions the dimension of the first cohomology group can be estimated in terms of the Kato constant of the negative part of the Ricci curvature. Moreover, this provides quantitative statements…

We calculate the stable pair theory of a projective surface $S$. For fixed curve class $\beta\in H^2(S)$ the results are entirely topological, depending on $\beta^2$, $\beta.c_1(S)$, $c_1(S)^2$, $c_2(S)$, $b_1(S)$ \emph{and} invariants of…

We compute an explicit formula for the first Chern class of the Hodge Bundle over the space of admissible cyclic $\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}$ covers of $n$-pointed rational stable curves as a linear combination of boundary strata. We then apply…

In this work we compute the first integral cohomology of the pure mapping class group of a non-orientable surface of infinite topological type and genus at least 3. To this purpose, we also prove several other results already known for…

Let X be a K3 surface with a primitive ample divisor H, and let $\beta=2[H]\in H_2(X, \mathbf Z)$. We calculate the Gromov-Witten type invariants $n_{\beta}$ by virtue of Euler numbers of some moduli spaces of stable sheaves. Eventually, it…

In [ES2], the first and the third authors introduced new classes in the Johnson cokernels of the mapping class groups of surfaces by a representation theoretic approach based on some previous results for the Johnson cokernels of the…

Harvey and Lawson introduced the Kaehler rank and computed it in connection to the cone of positive exact currents of bidimension (1,1) for many classes of compact complex surfaces. In this paper we extend these computations to the only…

We study mapping class group orbits of homotopy and isotopy classes of curves with self-intersections. We exhibit the asymptotics of the number of such orbits of curves with a bounded number of self-intersections, as the complexity of the…

On a general Fano hypersurface in projective space, we determine for infinitely many $k$ the minimal degree $e$ of a rational curve through a general collection of $k$ points. In the case of a hypersurface of index 1, our results hold for…
