We study several examples of surfaces with $p_g = q = 2$ and maximal Albanese dimension that are endowed with an irrational fibration.

We prove a big monodromy result for a smooth family of complex algebraic surfaces of general type, with invariants p_g=q=1 and K^2=3, that has been introduced by Catanese and Ciliberto. This is accomplished via a careful study of…

We prove the equivalence between Clifford-Severi inequalities for good classes of varieties of maximal Albanese dimension and Slope Inequalities for fibrations of such varieties over curves. This provides a big set of new Slope Inequalities…

We study the Albanese image of a compact K\"ahler manifold whose geometric genus is one. We prove that if the Albanese map is not surjective, then the manifold maps surjectively onto an ample divisor in some abelian variety, and in many…

We study rational surfaces having an even set of disjoint $(-4)$-curves. The properties of the surface $S$ obtained by considering the double cover branched on the even set are studied. It is shown, that contrarily to what happens for even…

We show that if X is a nonsingular projective variety of general type over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic and X has maximal Albanese dimension and the Albanese map is separable, then |4K_X| induces a birational…

Let $f:X\to Y$ be an algebraic fiber space with general fiber $F$. If $Y$ is of maximal Albanese dimension, we show that $\kappa (X)\geq \kappa (Y)+\kappa (F)$.

We study the higher Chow groups $CH^2(X,1)$ and $CH^3(X,2)$ of smooth, projective algebraic surfaces over a field of char 0. We develop a theoretical framework to study them by using so-called higher normal functions and higher…

We solve categorical Torelli problem for quartic del Pezzo surfaces. That is, we prove that a del Pezzo surface of degree $4$ can be canonically reconstructed from its Kuznetsov component, which is the orthogonal subcategory to the…

Let $(S,L)$ be a general primitively polarized $K3$ surface of genus $g$. For every $0\leq \delta \leq g$ we consider the Severi variety parametrizing integral curves in $|L|$ with exactly $\delta$ nodes as singularities. We prove that its…

We relate the existence of some surfaces of general type and maximal Albanese dimension to the existence of some monodromy representations of the braid group $\mathsf{B}_2(C_2)$ in the symmetric group $\mathsf{S}_n$. Furthermore, we compute…

Let $S$ be a minimal smooth projective surface of general type with irregularity $q=2$. We show that, if $S$ has a nontrivial holomorphic automorphism acting trivially on the cohomology with rational coefficients, then it is a surface…

The Manin conjecture is established for Ch\^atelet surfaces over Q arising as minimal proper smooth models of the surface Y^2+Z^2=f(X) where f is a totally reducible polynomial of degree 3 without repeated roots. These surfaces do not…

We prove that two Enriques surfaces defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from $2$ are isomorphic if their Kuznetsov components are equivalent. This improves and completes our previous result joint with Nuer…

We show that the number of non-trivial rational points of height at most $B$, that lie on the cubic surface $x_1x_2x_3=x_4(x_1+x_2+x_3)^2$, has order of magnitude $B(\log B)^6$. This agrees with the Manin conjecture.

Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface with $p_g=0$, let $\iota $ be a regular involution acting on $S$, and let $W$ be the resolution of singularities of the quotient surface $S/\iota $. In the paper we prove that Bloch's conjecture holds…

Enriques surfaces are minimal surfaces of Kodaira dimension $0$ with $b_{2}=10$. If we work with a field of characteristic away from $2$, Enriques surfaces admit double covers which are K3 surfaces. In this paper, we prove the Shafarevich…

Minimal algebraic surfaces of general type $X$ such that $K^2_X=2\chi(\mathcal{O}_X)-6$ are called Horikawa surfaces. In this note $\mathbb{Z}_3$-actions on Horikawa surfaces are studied. The main result states that given an admissible pair…

Let (A,L) be a principally polarized abelian surface of type (1,3). The linear system |L| defines a 6:1 covering of A onto P2, branched along a curve B of degree 18 in P2. The main result of the paper is that for general (A,L) the curve B…

We study a family of surfaces of general type with $p_g=q=2$ and $K^2=7$, originally constructed by Cancian and Frapporti by using the Computer Algebra System MAGMA. We provide an alternative, computer-free construction of these surfaces,…
