We construct the first examples of good type III degenerations of hyperk\"ahler varieties in dimension greater than 2. These are presented as moduli of 0-dimensional subschemes on expansions of a degeneration of K3 surfaces. We prove…

Consider an immersed Legendrian surface in the five dimensional complex projective space equipped with the standard homogeneous contact structure. We introduce a class of fourth order projective Legendrian deformation called…

In preprint alg-geom/9708009 we have constructed a (ten-dimensional) symplectic desingularization of the moduli space of rank-two torsion-free semistable sheaves on a $K3$, with trivial determinant and second Chern class equal to 4. In the…

We describe and study the loci equidistant from finitely many points in the so-called complex hyperbolic geometry, i.e., in the geometry of a holomorphic $2$-ball $\Bbb B$. In particular, we show that the bisectors (= the loci equidistant…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field of characteristic $\neq 2$ and $3$, let $V$ be a $\mathbb{F}$-vector space of dimension $6$, and let $\Omega \in \wedge ^2V^\ast $ be a non-degenerate form. A system of generators for polynomial invariant…

Suppose $X$ is a smooth projective geometrically irreducible curve over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be a finite group acting faithfully on $X$ over $k$ such that $G$ has non-trivial, cyclic Sylow…

The object of this paper is to describe an explicit two--parameter family of logarithmic flat connections over the complex projective plane. These connections have dihedral monodromy and their polar locus is a prescribed quintic composed of…

Let X be a projective irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold. The second integral cohomology of X is a lattice with respect to the Beauville-Bogomolov pairing. A divisor E on X is called a prime exceptional divisor, if E is reduced and…

We study the family of K3 surfaces of Picard rank sixteen associated with the double cover of the projective plane branched along the union of six lines, and the family of its Van Geemen-Sarti partners, i.e., K3 surfaces with special…

We construct compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds with totally geodesic boundary, such that the closed 3-pseudomanifolds obtained by coning off the boundary components are negatively curved and contain locally convex subspaces whose fundamental…

We study degree 2 and 4 elliptic subcovers of hyperelliptic curves of genus 3 defined over $\mathbb C$. The family of genus 3 hyperelliptic curves which have a degree 2 cover to an elliptic curve $E$ and degree 4 covers to elliptic curves…

The known counterexamples to the global Torelli theorem for higher-dimensional hyperkahler manifolds are provided by birational manifolds. We address the question whether two birational hyperkahler manifolds (i.e. irreducible symplectic)…

In $\mathrm{PU}(2,1)$, the group of holomorphic isometries of the complex hyperbolic plane, we study the space of involutions $R_1, R_2, R_3, R_4, R_5$ satisfying $R_5R_4R_3R_2R_1=1$, where $R_1$ is a reflection in a complex geodesic and…

We consider K3 surfaces of Picard rank 14 which admit a purely nonsymplectic automorphism of order 16. The automorphism acts on the second cohomology group with integer coefficients and we compute the invariant sublattice for the action. We…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler fourfold with klt singularities and vanishing first Chern class, smooth in codimension two. We show that $X$ admits a Beauville-Bogomolov decomposition: a finite quasi-\'etale cover of $X$ splits as a product…

We give variants of lifting construction, which define new classes of modular forms on the Siegel upper half-space of complex dimension 3 with respect to the full paramodular groups (defining moduli of Abelian surfaces with arbitrary…

We use the unique canonically-twisted module over a certain distinguished super vertex operator algebra---the moonshine module for Conway's group---to attach a weak Jacobi form of weight zero and index one to any symplectic derived…

We show that cubic fourfolds with lattice of algebraic 2-cycles of rank greater than 19 have abelian and finite dimensional (in the sense of Kimura) Chow motive. This also implies Abelianity and finite dimensionality of the motive of…

Starting from the K\"ahler moduli space of the rigid orbifold Z=E^3/\mathbb{Z}_3 one would expect for the cohomology of the generalized mirror to be a Hodge structure of Calabi-Yau type (1,9,9,1). We show that such a structure arises in a…

Works by O'Grady allow to associate to a 2-dimensional Gushel-Mukai variety, which is a K3 surface, a double EPW sextic. We characterize the K3 surfaces whose associated double EPW sextic is smooth. As a consequence, we are able to produce…
