The cellular resolution of the diagonal given by Bayer-Popescu-Sturmfels for unimodular projective toric varieties yields a full, strong exceptional collection of line bundles on unimodular projective toric surfaces. The…

Let $X\subset P^n$ be a complex projective manifold of degree $d$ and arbitrary dimension. The main result of this paper gives a classification of such manifolds (assumed moreover to be connected, non-degenerate and linearly normal) in case…

Split toric stacks over a number field $F$ are natural generalization of split toric varieties over $F$. Notable examples are weighted projective stacks. In our previous work, we defined heights on Deligne-Mumford stacks using so-called…

We prove that the Apery constants for a certain class of Fano threefolds can be obtained as a special value of a higher normal function.

A Fano problem is an enumerative problem of counting $r$-dimensional linear subspaces on a complete intersection in $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a field of arbitrary characteristic, whenever the corresponding Fano scheme is finite. A classical…

We show that there exists a cubic threefold defined by an invertible polynomial that, when quotiented by the maximal diagonal symmetry group, has a derived category which does not have a full exceptional collection consisting of line…

We describe the Fano scheme of lines on a general cubic threefold containing a plane over a field $k$ of characteristic different from 2. Then, we use the Fano scheme to characterize rationality for such cubic threefolds over nonclosed…

Using representations of vertex operator algebras, we describe the line bundles on a wide range of contractions of $\overline{\rm{M}}_{0,n}$, the moduli space of stable $n$-pointed rational curves, by proving a stronger version of the…

In this article, we explore the combinatorics of balanced collections. A collection of subsets of the set $[n] = \{1, \dots, n\}$ is called \emph{balanced} if the relative interior of the convex hull of the corresponding characteristic…

We introduce the split torsor method to count rational points of bounded height on Fano varieties. As an application, we prove Manin's conjecture for all nonsplit quartic del Pezzo surfaces of type $\mathbf A_3+\mathbf A_1$ over arbitrary…

Motivated by the work of Chudnovsky and the Eisenbud-Mazur Conjecture on evolutions, Harbourne and Huneke give a series of conjectures that relate symbolic and regular powers of ideals of fat points in $\mathbb P^n$. The conjectures involve…

We show that if an ample line bundle L on a nonsingular toric 3-fold satisfies h^0(L+2K)=0, then L is normally generated. As an application, we show that the anti-canonical divisor on a nonsingular toric Fano 4-fold is normally generated.

This note is about cycle-theoretic properties of the Fano variety of lines on a smooth cubic fivefold. The arguments are based on the fact that this Fano variety has finite-dimensional motive. We also present some results concerning Chow…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a general Fano complete intersection of type $(d_1,\dots, d_k)$. If at least one $d_i$ is greater than $2$, we show that $X$ contains rational curves of degree $e \leq n$ with balanced normal bundle. If all…

Consider the Fano surface of a conic bundle embedded in $\mathbb P^5$. Let $i$ denote the natural involution acting on this surface. In this note we provide an obstruction to the identity action of the involution on the group of…

Let $(X, A)$ be a nonsingular polarized toric 3-fold. We show that if the adjoint bundle of $A$ has no glabal section, then all ample line bundles on $X$ are normally generated. Even if the adjoint bundle is effective, if it is not big,…

In this article, we prove the boundedness of minimal slopes of adelic line bundles over function fields of characteristic 0. This can be applied to prove the equidistribution of generic and small points with respect to a big and…

We define a notion of height for rational points with respect to a vector bundle on a proper algebraic stack with finite diagonal over a global field, which generalizes the usual notion for rational points on projective varieties. We…

In spite of the recent surge of interest in quantile regression, joint estimation of linear quantile planes remains a great challenge in statistics and econometrics. We propose a novel parametrization that characterizes any collection of…

We associate to each toric vector bundle on a toric variety X(Delta) a "branched cover" of the fan Delta together with a piecewise-linear function on the branched cover. This construction generalizes the usual correspondence between toric…
