We compare several different methods involving Hodge-theoretic spectra of singularities which produce constraints on the number and type of isolated singularities on projective hypersurfaces of fixed degree. In particular, we introduce a…

We introduce moduli spaces of quasi-admissible hyperelliptic covers with at worst A and D singularities. The stability conditions for these moduli spaces depend on two parameters describing allowable singularities. By varying these…

We show that if $f\colon X \to T$ is a surjective morphism between smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with geometrically integral and non-uniruled generic fiber, then $K_{X/T}$ is…

In this paper, we survey recent developments concerning the stability of naturally defined bundles on curves that play a central role in the deformation theory of the curve.

We provide supplements and open problems related to structure theorems for maximal rationally connected fibrations of certain positively curved projective varieties, including smooth projective varieties with semi-positive holomorphic…

We prove a "strong" Durfee-type inequality for isolated hypersurface surface singularities, which implies Durfee's strong conjecture for such singularities with non-negative topological Euler number of the exceptional set of the minimal…

We generalize a result of Fujita, on the decomposition of Hodge bundles over curves, to the case of a higher dimensional base.

We prove existence and uniqueness of an unstable manifold for a degenerate hyperbolic map of the plane arising in statistics.

In the present article we work out a relative setup of generic structures on surface singularities. We fix an analytic type on a subgraph of a rational homology sphere resolution graph $\mathcal{T}$ and we choose a relatively generic normal…

A curve $C$ on a variety $X$ is stably balanced if the slopes of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of its normal bundle $N$ are contained in an interval of length 1. For each $d\geq n+1$ we construct some regular families of pairs $(C, X)$…

We establish an effective criterion for a dicritical singularity of a real analytic Levi-flat hypersurface. The criterion is stated in terms of the Segre varieties. As an application, we obtain a structure theorem for some class of currents…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$. We prove that a parabolic vector bundle $\mathcal{E}$ on $X$ on $X$ is (strongly) wobbly, i.e. $\mathcal{E}$ has a non-zero (strongly) parabolic nilpotent Higgs field, if and…

Given a line bundle L on a smooth projective curve over the complex numbers, we show that a general extension E of L by the trivial line bundle is very stable: line bundles contained in E have degree much less than half the degree of E.…

We give a bound on embedding dimensions of geometric generic fibers in terms of the dimension of the base, for fibrations in positive characteristic. This generalizes the well-known fact that for fibrations over curves, the geometric…

Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold and E a Riemannian vector bundle on M. We look for hypersurfaces of E with a prescribed vertical Gaussian curvature. In trying to solve this problem fibre-wise, we loose the regularity of the resulting…

In this survey, we report on progress concerning families of projective curves with fixed number and fixed (topological or analytic) types of singularities. We are, in particular, interested in numerical, universal and asymptotically proper…

We investigate the relations between the syzygies of the Jacobian ideal of the defining equation for a projective hypersurface $V$ with isolated singularities and the Torelli properties of $V$ (in the sense of Dolgachev-Kapranov). We show…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically field $k$ with ${\rm char}(k)=p>0$ and $F:X\to X_1$ be the relative Frobenius morphism. When ${\rm dim}(X)=1$, we prove that $F_*W$ is a stable bundle for any stable bundle $W$…

We prove the existence (in characteristic 0) on every polarized (smooth, projective and connected) surface of stable bundles of rank $r\geq 2$, arbitrary first Chern class and large enough $c_2$.

We study the geometry of stable maximal hypersurfaces in a variety of spacetimes satisfying various physically relevant curvature assumptions, for instance the Timelike Convergence Condition (TCC). We characterize stability when the target…
