We prove that a smooth surface, non of general type, in projective four-space, which lies on a quartic hypersurface with isolated singularities has degree at most 27 (in fact we prove a slightly more general result).

The main aim of this paper is to investigate rings over which all (finitely generated strongly) Gorenstein projective modules are projective. We consider this propriety under change of rings, and give various examples of rings with and…

We introduce a new technique that is used to show that the complex projective plane blown up at 6, 7, or 8 points has infinitely many distinct smooth structures. None of these smooth structures admit smoothly embedded spheres with…

We show that there exist exceptional collections of length 3 consisting of line bundles on the three fake projective planes that have a 2-adic uniformisation with torsion free covering group. We also compute the Hochschild cohomology of the…

Fake projective planes are smooth complex surfaces of general type with Betti numbers equal to that of the usual projective plane. Recent explicit constructions of fake projective planes embed them via their bicanonical embedding in…

Let $A=KQ_A/I_A$ and $B=KQ_B/I_B$ be two finite-dimensional bound quiver algebras, fix two vertices $a\in Q_A$ and $b\in Q_B$. We define an algebra $\Lambda=KQ_\Lambda/I_\Lambda$, which is called a simple gluing algebra of $A$ and $B$,…

Algebraic surfaces in the complex projective space with a high number of A-type singularities have been presented in a recent paper. We extend the construction in order to obtain lower bounds for the maximal number of A singularities for…

Our goal is to convince the readers that the theory of complex normal surface singularities can be a powerful tool in the study of numerical semigroups, and, in the same time, a very rich source of interesting affine and numerical…

We extend the notion of absolute subsets of Betti moduli spaces of smooth algebraic varieties to the case of normal varieties. As a consequence we prove that twisted cohomology jump loci in rank one over a normal variety are a finite union…

From a topological viewpoint, a rational curve in the real projective plane is generically a smoothly immersed circle and a finite collection of isolated points. We give an isotopy classification of generic rational quintics in…

Classification theory and the study of projective varieties which are covered by rational curves of minimal degrees naturally leads to the study of families of singular rational curves. Since families of arbitrarily singular curves are hard…

The cohomology of the Hilbert schemes of points on smooth projective surfaces can be approached both with vertex algebra tools and equivariant tools. Using the first tool, we study the existence and the structure of universal formulas for…

For the implicit systems of first order ordinary differential equations on the plane there is presented the complete local classification of generic singularities of family of its phase curves up to smooth orbital equivalence. Besides the…

We show that the number of double points of smoothly immersed 2-spheres representing certain homology classes of an oriented, smooth, closed, simply-connected 4-manifold X must increase with the complexity of corresponding h-cobordisms from…

We give an example of a non $\Q$-Gorenstein variety which is canonical but not klt, and whose canonical divisor has an irrational valuation. We also give an example of an irrational jumping number and we prove that there are no accumulation…

Let $(\mathcal{A,B})$ be a complete and hereditary cotorsion pair in the category of left $R$-modules. In this paper, the so-called Gorenstein projective complexes respect to the cotorsion pair $(\mathcal{A}, \mathcal{B})$ are introduced.…

We show that a properly stratified algebra is Gorenstein if and only if the characteristic tilting module coincides with the characteristic cotilting module. We further show that properly stratified Gorenstein algebras $A$ enjoy strong…

Algebraically simply connected surfaces of general type with p_g=q=0 and 1\le K^2\le 4 in positive characteristic (with one exception in K^2=4) are presented by using a Q-Gorenstein smoothing of two-dimensional toric singularities, a…

We show that a smooth projective variety admits a Chow-Kunneth decomposition if the cohomology has level at most one except for the middle degree. This can be extended to the relative case in a weak sense if the morphism has only isolated…

In this note we discuss the geometry of Riemannian surfaces having a discrete set of singular points. We assume the conformal structure extends through the singularities and the curvature is integrable. Such points are called \emph{simple…
