We show that a very general Jacobian elliptic surface is determined by its polarized rational Hodge structure, subject to various constraints on the irregularity and the geometric genus.

We give a version of the usual Jacobian characterization of the defining ideal of the singular locus in the equal characteristic case: the new theorem is valid for essentially affine algebras over a complete local algebra over a mixed…

This paper develops a systematic approach to infinitesimal variations of Hodge structure for singular and equisingular families by means of logarithmic geometry and residue theory. The central idea is that logarithmic vector fields encode…

The purpose of this article is to study the deformations of smooth surfaces $X$ of general type whose canonical map is a finite, degree 2 morphism onto a minimal rational surface or onto $\mathbf F_1$, embedded in projective space by a very…

Several papers have been written studying unexpected hypersurfaces. We say a finite set of points Z admits unexpected hypersurfaces if a general union of fat linear subspaces imposes less that the expected number of conditions on the ideal…

We prove that every rational trinomial affine hypersurface admits a horizontal polynomial curve. This result provides an explicit non-trivial polynomial solution to a trinomial equation. Also we show that a trinomial affine hypersurface…

For a hypersurface in a projective space, we consider the set of pairs of a point and a line in the projective space such that the line intersects the hypersurface at the point with a fixed multiplicity. We prove that this set of pairs…

We give an explicit presentation of the module of differentials of order $n$ of a finitely generated algebra via a higher-order Jacobian matrix. We use the presentation to study some aspects of this module in the case of hypersurfaces. More…

Using results by Donaldson and Auroux on pseudo-holomorphic curves as well as Duval's rational convexity construction, the paper investigates the existence of smooth Lagrangian surfaces representing 2-dimensional homology classes in complex…

We prove the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for complex surface singularities of genus one, and also for those of genus two whose link is not a rational homology sphere. As an application, we characterize complex $2$-tori as the only normal…

It is conjectured by de Jong that, if $X$ is a connected smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with trivial \'etale fundamental group, any isocrystal on on $X/W$ is trivial. We prove this…

We study holomorphic supercurves, which are motivated by supergeometry as a natural generalisation of holomorphic curves. We prove that, upon perturbing the defining equations by making them depend on a connection, the corresponding…

A projective hypersurface $X \subseteq \mathbb P^n$ has defect if $h^i(X) \neq h^i(\mathbb P^n)$ for some $i \in \{n, \dots, 2n-2\}$ in a suitable cohomology theory. This occurs for example when $X \subseteq \mathbb P^4$ is not $\mathbb…

If $X$ is a rational surface without nonzero holomorphic vector field and $f$ is an automorphism of $X$, we study in several examples the Zariski tangent space of the local deformation space of the pair $(X, f)$.

We study the structure of Jacobians of geometrically reduced curves over arbitrary (i. e., not necessarily perfect) fields. We show that, while such a group scheme cannot in general be decomposed into an affine and an Abelian part as over…

In this paper we obtain the LU-decomposition of a noncommutative linear system of equations that, in the rank one case, characterizes the image of the Lepowsky homomorphism $U(\lieg)^{K}\to U(\liek)^{M}\otimes U(\liea)$. This…

We prove that smooth, projective, $K$-trivial, weakly ordinary varieties over a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$ are not geometrically uniruled. We also show a singular version of our theorem, which is sharp in multiple aspects. Our…

We generalize and complete some of Maxim's recent results on Alexander invariants of a polynomial transversal to the hyperplane at infinity. Roughly speaking, and surprisingly, such a polynomial behaves both topologically and algebraically…

We prove that a three-dimensional smooth complete intersection of two quadrics over a field k is k-rational if and only if it contains a line defined over k. To do so, we develop a theory of intermediate Jacobians for geometrically rational…

The Jacobian scheme of a reduced, singular projective plane curve is the zero-dimensional scheme, whose homogeneous ideal is generated by the partials of its defining polynomial. The degree of such a scheme is called the global Tjurina…
