We give a proof of the fact tha the subset of the rational curves form a closed analytic subset in the space of the 1-dimensional cycles of a complex space.

We show that a real rational (over $\C$) surfaces are quasi-simple, i.e., that such a surface is determined up to deformation in the class of real surfaces by the topological type of its real structure.

For every even number $n$, and every $n$-dimensional smooth hypersurface of $\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ of degree $d$, we compute the periods of all its $\frac{n}{2}$-dimensional complete intersection algebraic cycles. Furthermore, we determine the…

The aim of this article is to prove Bloch's conjecture, asserting that the group of rational equivalence classes of zero cycles of degree 0 is trivial for surfaces with geometric genus zero, for regular generalized Burniat type surfaces.…

We study the space of non-simple polarised abelian surfaces. Specifically, we describe for which pairs $(m,n)$ the locus of polarised abelian surfaces of type $(1,d)$ that contain two complementary elliptic curve of exponents $m,n$, denoted…

We present a local classification of smooth projective surfaces in 3-space via projective transformations in accordance with singularity types of central projections up to codimension 4. We also discuss relations between our classification…

Skorobogatov constructed a bielliptic surface which is a counterexample to the Hasse principle not explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction. We show that this surface has a $0$-cycle of degree 1, as predicted by a conjecture of…

We study the Noether-Lefschetz locus of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}$ of $K3^{[2]}$-fourfolds with a polarization of degree $2$. Following Hassett's work on cubic fourfolds, Debarre, Iliev, and Manivel have shown that the Noether-Lefschetz…

Let $k$ a field of characteristic zero. Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically rational $k$-surface. Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a universal torsor over $X$ with a $k$-point et $\mathcal{T}^c$ a smooth compactification of $\mathcal{T}$.…

Some of the most important classes of surfaces in projective 3-space are reviewed: these are isothermally asymptotic surfaces, projectively applicable surfaces, surfaces of Jonas, projectively minimal surfaces, etc. It is demonstrated that…

In this paper we give a characterization of the height of K3 surfaces in positive characteristic. This enables us to calculate the cycle classes of the loci in families of K3 surfaces where the height is at least h. The formulas for such…

We show that the torsion in the group of indecomposable $(2,1)$-cycles on a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field is isomorphic to a twist of its Brauer group, away from the characteristic. In particular, this group…

We study effective divisors $D$ on surfaces with $H^0(\mathcal O_D)=k$ and $H^1(\mathcal O_D)=H^0(\mathcal O_D(D))=0$. We give a numerical criterion for such divisors, following a general investigation of negativity, rigidity and…

The purpose of this paper is to shed a new light on classical constructions in enumerative geometry from the view point of derived algebraic geometry. We first prove that the cosection localized virtual cycle of a quasi-smooth derived…

The notion of constant cycle curves on K3 surfaces is introduced. These are curves that do not contribute to the Chow group of the ambient K3 surface. Rational curves are the most prominent examples. We show that constant cycle curves…

A theorem of Esnault, Srinivas and Viehweg asserts that if the Chow group of 0-cycles of a smooth complete complex variety decomposes, then the top-degree coherent cohomology group decomposes similarly. In this note, we prove that (a weak…

Let $X$ be a $K3$ surface over a $p$-adic field $k$ such that for some abelian surface $A$ isogenous to a product of two elliptic curves, there is an isomorphism over the algebraic closure of $k$ between $X$ and the Kummer surface…

We study the 0-th stable A^1-homotopy sheaf of a smooth proper variety over a field k assumed to be infinite, perfect and to have characteristic unequal to 2. We provide an explicit description of this sheaf in terms of the theory of…

Fix positive integers $n,r,d$. We show that if $n,r,d$ satisfy a suitable inequality, then any smooth hypersurface $X\subset \mathbb{P}^n$ defined over a finite field of characteristic $p$ sufficiently large contains a rational $r$-plane.…

We investigate the surjectivity of the real cycle class map from $I$-cohomology to classical intergral cohomology for some real smooth varieties, in particular surfaces. This might be considered as one of several possible incarnations of…
