We describe a notion of lattice polarization for rational elliptic surfaces and weak del Pezzo surfaces, and describe the complex moduli of the former and the K\"{a}hler cone of the latter. We then propose a version of mirror symmetry…
We determine which singular del Pezzo surfaces are equivariant compactifications of G_a^2, to assist with proofs of Manin's conjecture for such surfaces. Additionally, we give an example of a singular quartic del Pezzo surface that is an…
In the previous work, we study the moment polytope of the closure of the complex subtorus orbit in a symplectic toric manifold associated to an affine subspace when the closure is a smooth complex submanifold. In this paper, we clarify the…
Mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds can be understood via a Legendre duality between a pair of certain affine manifolds with singularities called tropical manifolds. In this article, we study conifold transitions from the point of view…
We determine the N\'eron-Severi lattices of $K3$ hypersurfaces with large Picard number in toric three-folds derived from Fano polytopes. On each $K3$ surface, we introduce a particular elliptic fibration. In the proof of the main theorem,…
We study singular del Pezzo surfaces that are quasi-smooth and well-formed weighted hypersurfaces. We give an algorithm how to classify all of them.
For a del Pezzo surface of degree $\geq 3$, we compute the oscillatory integral for its mirror Landau-Ginzburg model in the sense of Gross-Hacking-Keel [Mark Gross, Paul Hacking, and Sean Keel, "Mirror symmetry for log Calabi-Yau surfaces…
We show how to use Gromov-Witten invariants to determine the matter content of F-theory compactifications on elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds $X$ over Hirzebruch surfaces. To determine the representations of these matter multiplets…
This is an outline of work in progress concerning an algebro-geometric form of the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow conjecture. We introduce a limited type of degeneration of Calabi-Yau manifolds, which we call toric degenerations. For these, the…
In this article, we give the classification of normal del Pezzo surfaces of rank one with at most log canonical singularities containing the affine plane defined over an algebraically non-closed field of characteristic zero. As an…
It has been recently shown that the iteration of Nash modification on not necessarily normal toric varieties corresponds to a purely combinatorial algorithm on the generators of the semigroup associated to the toric variety. We will show…
We give an algorithm to compute the zeta function of the Fano surface of lines of a smooth cubic threefold $F$ into $\mathbb{P}^4$ defined over a finite field. We obtain some examples of Fano surfaces with supersingular reduction.
We study the geometry and topology of Hilbert schemes of points on the orbifold surface [C^2/G], respectively the singular quotient surface C^2/G, where G is a finite subgroup of SL(2,C) of type A or D. We give a decomposition of the…
We develop an approach that allows to construct semiorthogonal decompositions of derived categories of surfaces with cyclic quotient singularities whose components are equivalent to derived categories of local finite dimensional algebras.…
We describe local mirror symmetry from a mathematical point of view and make several A-model calculations using the mirror principle (localization). Our results agree with B-model computations from solutions of Picard-Fuchs differential…
We study the spaces of rational curves on Fano threefolds with Gorenstein terminal singularities. We generalize the results regarding Geometric Manin's Conjecture for smooth Fano threefolds, including the classification of subvarieties with…
Let $\mathcal C$ be a real plane algebraic curve defined by the resultant of two polynomials (resp. by the discriminant of a polynomial). Geometrically such a curve is the projection of the intersection of the surfaces $P(x,y,z)=Q(x,y,z)=0$…
In this article we suggest a new approach to the systematic, computer-aided construction and to the classification of product-quotient surfaces, introducing a new invariant, the integer gamma, which depends only on the singularities of the…
We classify all generalized del Pezzo surfaces (i.e., minimal desingularizations of singular del Pezzo surfaces containing only rational double points) whose universal torsors are open subsets of hypersurfaces in affine space. Equivalently,…
Esnault-Viehweg developed the theory of cyclic branched coverings $\tilde X\to X$ of smooth surfaces providing a very explicit formula for the decomposition of $H^1(\tilde X,\mathbb{C})$ in terms of a resolution of the ramification locus.…
