We construct some complex surfaces of general type with maximal Picard number. These examples arise as fibrations of genus two curves over quaternionic Shimura curves.

We construct a collection of higher Chow cycles on certain surfaces which degenerate to an arrangement of planes in general position. When its degree is 4, this construction gives a new explicit proof of the Hodge-D-Conjecture for a certain…

Let S be a minimal complex surface of general type with p_g=0 such that the bicanonical map of S is not birational and let Z be the bicanonical image. In [M.Mendes Lopes, R.Pardini, "Enriques surfaces with eight nodes", Math. Zeit. 241 (4)…

We give construction of singular K3 surfaces with discriminant 3 and 4 as double coverings over the projective plane. Focusing on the similarities in their branching loci, we can generalize this construction, and obtain a three dimensional…

We investigate the existence of $p$-K\"ahler structures on two classes of complex manifolds: on quasi-regular fibrations, with particular emphasis on complex homogeneous spaces, and on reductive Lie groups endowed with invariant complex…

It is in general unknown which topological complex vector bundles on a non-algebraic surface admit holomorphic structures. We solve this problem for primary Kodaira surfaces by using results of Kani on curves of genus two with elliptic…

We introduce the concept of a branched holomorphic Cartan geometry. It generalizes to higher dimension the definition of branched (flat) complex projective structure on a Riemann surface introduced by Mandelbaum. This new framework is much…

We prove the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for klt Calabi-Yau pairs in dimension 2. That is, for a large class of rational surfaces as well as K3 surfaces and abelian surfaces, the action of the automorphism group of the surface on the…

We obtain necessary conditions for the existence of special K\"ahler structures with isolated singularities on compact Riemann surfaces. We prove that these conditions are also sufficient in the case of the Riemann sphere and, moreover, we…

We present a complete classification of complex projective surfaces $X$ with nontrivial self-maps (i.e. surjective morphisms $f:X\rightarrow X$ which are not isomorphisms) of any given degree. The starting point of our classification are…

In this paper we investigate the existence of invariant SKT, balanced and generalized K\"ahler structures on compact quotients $\Gamma \backslash G$, where $G$ is an almost nilpotent Lie group whose nilradical has one-dimensional commutator…

We study generalized Kummer surfaces Km$_{3}(A)$, by which we mean the K3 surfaces obtained by desingularization of the quotient of an abelian surface $A$ by an order $3$ symplectic automorphism group. Such a surface carries $9$ disjoint…

Extending previous results, we prove that for $n \ge 5$ all hypersurfaces of degree $n+1$ in ${\mathbb P}^{n+1}$ with isolated ordinary double points are birational superrigid and K-stable, hence admit a weak K\"ahler--Einstein metric.

In arXiv:1008.3825, Totaro gave examples of a K3 surface such that its automorphism group is not commensurable with an arithmetic group, answering a question of Mazur. We give examples of rational surfaces with the same property. Our…

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…

One of the major open problems in noncommutative algebraic geometry is the classification of noncommutative projective surfaces (or, slightly more generally, of noetherian connected graded domains of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 3). Earlier…

We consider the topology for a class of hypersurfaces with highly nonisolated singularites which arise as exceptional orbit varieties of a special class of prehomogeneous vector spaces, which are representations of linear algebraic groups…

In this note we discuss the problem of existence of para-hyperhermitian structures on compact complex surfaces. We construct examples of para-hypercomplex structures on Inoue surfaces of type $S^{-}$ which do not admit compatible metrics.

We study the cohomology of a general stable sheaf on an abelian surface. We say that a moduli space satisfies weak Brill-Noether if the general sheaf has at most one non-zero cohomology group. Let $(X,H)$ be a polarized abelian surface and…

Working over imperfect fields, we give a comprehensive classification of genus-one curves that are regular but not geometrically regular, extending the known case of geometrically reduced curves. The description is given intrinsically, in…
