For a complex algebraic variety $X$, we introduce higher $p$-Du Bois singularity by imposing canonical isomorphisms between the sheaves of K\"ahler differential forms $\Omega_X^q$ and the shifted graded pieces of the Du Bois complex…

Ein, Niu and Park showed in [ENP20] that if the degree of the line bundle $L$ on a curve of genus $g$ is at least $2g+2k+1$, the $k$-th secant variety of the curve via the embedding defined by the complete linear system of $L$ is normal,…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety with a faithful $G$-action, and $Y$ be a resolution of singularities of $X/G$. Larsen and Lunts asked whether $[X/G]-[Y]$ is divisible by $[\mathbb{A}^1]$ in the…

Let $X$ be a singular algebraic variety defined over a field $k$, with quotient field $K(X)$. Let $s \geq 2$ be the highest multiplicity of $X$ and $F_s(X)$ the set of points of multiplicity $s$. If $Y\subset F_s(X)$ is a regular center and…

Let $k$ be a field, $X$ a variety with tame quotient singularities and $\tilde{X}\to X$ a resolution of singularities. Any smooth rational point $x\in X(k)$ lifts to $\tilde{X}$ by the Lang-Nishimura theorem, but if $x$ is singular this…

The graded coherent sheaf $\alpha_X^\bullet$ constructed in [B.18] for any reduced pure dimensional complex space $X$ is stable by exterior product but not by the de Rham differential. We construct here a new graded coherent sheaf…

We shall prove that any small deformation of a Q-factorial projective symplectic variety with terminal singularities is locally rigid; in other words, it preserves the singularity. In particular, many singular symplectic moduli of…

This paper studies solutions to a singular $SU(3)$ Toda system with linear source terms on a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$ with smooth boundaries $\partial\Sigma$. We establish the existence of solutions when the parameters are not…

We study the conormal sheaves and singular schemes of 1-dimensional foliations on smooth projective varieties $X$ of dimension 3 and Picard rank 1. We prove that if the singular scheme has dimension 0, then the conormal sheaf is…

Using dynamical methods we give a new proof of the theorem saying that if $A,B,X$ are rational functions of degree at least two such that $A\circ X=X\circ B$ and $\mathbb C(B,X)=\mathbb C(z)$, then the Galois closure of the field extension…

Let (X, \omega) be an affine symplectic variety. Assume that X has a C^*-action with positive weights and \omega is homogeneous with respect to the C^*-action. We prove that the algebraic fundamental group of the smooth locus X_{reg} is…

We address special cases of a question of Eisenbud on the ideals of secant varieties of Veronese re-embeddings of arbitrary varieties. Eisenbud's question generalizes a conjecture of Eisenbud, Koh and Stillman (EKS) for curves. We prove…

A $\mathbb Q$-conic bundle is a proper morphism from a threefold with only terminal singularities to a normal surface such that fibers are connected and the anti-canonical divisor is relatively ample. We study the structure of $\mathbb…

Let G < SL(V) be a finite group, V is finite dimensional over a field F, p=char F and S(V) is the symmetric algebra of V. We determine when the subring of G-invariants S(V)^G is a polynomial ring. As a consequence, we classify, if F is…

Let $X$ be a quotient of a bounded domain in $\mathbb C^n$. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that every subvariety of $X$ not included in the branch locus of the quotient map is of log general type in some orbifold sense. This…

We prove the following result that was conjectured by Brunella: Let $X$ be a compact complex manifold of dimension $\geq 3$. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a codimension one holomorphic foliation on $X$ with ample normal bundle. Then every leaf of…

Given a complex manifold $X$, a normal crossing divisor $D\subset X$ whose irreducible components $D_1,...,D_s$ are smooth, and a choice of natural numbers $r=(r_1,...,r_s)$, we construct a manifold $X(D,\ur)$ with an action of a torus…

We consider the following conjecture: if X is a smooth projective variety over a field of characteristic zero, then there is a dense set of reductions X_s of X to positive characteristic such that the action of the Frobenius morphism on the…

We provide a method for gluing (small) resolutions of singularities of Schubert varieties \(X_w\). An explicit isomorphism of \(X_w\) with an (iterated) bundle is constructed when \(w\) has an (iterated) BP decomposition. Combined with the…
