We show that the Coleman-Oort conjecture can be reduced to three particular cases. As an application we extend a result of Lu and Zuo, to the effect that for g at least 8 the Coleman-Oort conjecture is true on the hyperelliptic locus.

Let $\mathcal{M}_{g,2}$ be the moduli space of curves of genus $g$ with a level-2 structure. We prove here that there is always a non hyperelliptic element in the intersection of four thetanull divisors in $\mathcal{M}_{6,2}$. We prove also…

This paper contains two results on Hodge loci in the moduli space of curves. The first concerns fibrations over curves with a non-trivial flat part in the Fujita decomposition. If local Torelli theorem holds for the fibres and the fibration…

We develop the global moduli theory of symplectic varieties in the sense of Beauville. We prove a number of analogs of classical results from the smooth case, including a global Torelli theorem. In particular, this yields a new proof of…

We conjecture that certain curvature invariants of compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds are positive/negative. We prove the conjecture in complex dimension four, give an "experimental proof" in higher dimensions, and verify it for all known…

We classify curves in the moduli space of curves that are both Shimura- and Teichmueller curves: Except for the moduli space of genus one curves there is only a single such curve. We start with a Hodge-theoretic description of Shimura…

We show that the compactly supported cohomology of certain $\mathrm{U}(n,n)$ or $\mathrm{Sp}(2n)$-Shimura varieties with $\Gamma_1(p^\infty)$-level vanishes above the middle degree. The only assumption is that we work over a CM field $F$ in…

The configuration of theta characteristics and vanishing thetanulls on a hyperelliptic curve is completely understood. We observe in this note that analogous results hold for the s-invariant theta characteristics on any curve C with an…

This article has three goals. First, we generalize the result of Deuring and Serre on the characterization of supersingular locus of modular curves to all Shimura varieties given by totally indefinite quaternion algebras over totally real…

We study the conjecture due to V.\,V. Shokurov on characterization of toric varieties. We also consider one generalization of this conjecture. It is shown that none of the characterizations holds true in dimension $\ge 3$. Some weaker…

We derive several vanishing theorems for genera under almost nonnegative Ricci curvature and infinite fundamental group, which includes Todd genus, $\widehat{A}$-genus, elliptic genera and Witten genus. A vanishing theorem of Euler…

We prove that 3-dimensional ellipsoids invariant under a 2-torus action contain infinitely many distinct immersed minimal tori, with at most one exception. These minimal tori bifurcate from the 2-torus orbit of largest volume at a dense set…

We prove that the classification of real-analytic vector fields on the two-torus up to orbital topological equivalence does not admit a complete numerical invariant that is a Borel function. Moreover, smooth vector fields that are difficult…

We study the topological Brauer group of generalized Kummer varieties. We prove that it vanishes when their dimension is divisible by 4, while for all other dimensions except dimension 10 we prove that it is at most 8-torsion.

We characterize the existence of an Ulrich vector bundle on a variety $X \subset P^N$ in terms of the existence of a subvariety satisfying some precise conditions. Then we use this fact to prove that a complete intersection of dimension $n…

A curve over a perfect field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$ is said to be superspecial if its Jacobian is isomorphic to a product of supersingular elliptic curves over the algebraic closure $\overline{K}$. In recent years, isomorphism…

In this paper we prove that there are finitely many modular curves that admit a smooth plane model. Moreover, if the degree of the model is greater than or equal to 19, no such curve exists. For modular curves of Shimura type we show that…

In the present article, we investigate the topology of real toric varieties, especially those whose torus is not split over the field of real numbers. We describe some canonical fibrations associated to their real loci. Then, we establish…

We present explicit models for non-elliptic genus one Shimura curves X_0(D, N) with Gamma_0(N)-level structure arising from an indefinite quaternion algebra of reduced discriminant D, and Atkin-Lehner quotients of them. In addition, we…

We present sharp bounds on the number of maximal torsion cosets in a subvariety of the complex algebraic torus $\mathbb{G}_{\textrm{m}}^n$. Our first main result gives a bound in terms of the degree of the defining polynomials. A second…
