The main goal of this paper is to generalize Serre-Tate theory of "ordinary" local moduli to Shimura varieties of PEL type. To this end we develop a generalized notion of ordinariness, we prove a number of basic results about this, and we…

We work out properties of smooth projective varieties over a (not necessarily algebraically closed) field that admit collections of objects in the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves that are either full exceptional, or numerically…

In this paper we present a way of computing the degree of the secant (resp., tangent) variety of a smooth projective surface, under the assumption that the divisor giving the embedding in the projective space is $3$-very ample. This method…

We develop a Van der Waerden type theorem in an axiomatic setting of graded lattices and show that this axiomatic formulation can be applied to various lattices, for instance the set partition and the Boolean lattices. We derive the…

We study the birational properties of hypersurfaces in products of projective spaces. In the case of hypersurfaces in P^m x P^n, we describe their nef, movable and effective cones and determine when they are Mori dream spaces. Using these…

We decompose each moduli space of semistable sheaves on the complex projective plane with support of dimension one and degree four into locally closed subvarieties, each subvariety being the good or geometric quotient of a set of morphisms…

This paper is a survey of the authors' recent results on "abc-surfaces" and the monodromy of their natural Lefschetz fibrations and projections to P^1 x P^1, see (arXiv:0910.2142). The results being surveyed explore various fundamental…

In this work, we obtain an unexpected geometric characterization of sphericity of a real-analytic Levi-nondegenerate hypersurface $M\subset\mathbb C^{2}$. We prove that $M$ is spherical if and only if its Segre\,(-Webster) varieties satisfy…

I review some of my recent work on non-lorentzian geometry. I review the classification of kinematical Lie algebras and their associated Klein geometries. I then describe the Cartan geometries modelled on them and their characterisation in…

We present variations on theorems of Mertens as special cases of Density Hypothesis. Moreover, we study a Serre's estimate concerning Lang-Weil estimate.

We consider the lattice of coarse structures on a set $X$ and study metrizable, locally finite and cellular coarse structures on $X$ from the lattice point of view.

The article surveys the known results and conjectures about the analytic properties of dispersion relations and Fermi surfaces for periodic equations of mathematical physics and their spectral incarnations.

Motivated by the fundamental results of the geometric algebra we study quadrilateral lattices in projective spaces over division rings. After giving the noncommutative discrete Darboux equations we discuss differences and similarities with…

In this note we discuss some arithmetic and geometric questions concerning self maps of projective algebraic varieties.

A smooth Hermitian surface $X$ is a projective surface isomorphic to the Fermat surface of degree $q+1$ in positive characteristic. We study incidence relations of the rational curves of degree $q+1$ contained in $X$, and show that such…

We study the projective behavior, mainly with respect to osculating spaces and secant varieties, of Lagrangian Grassmannians and Spinor varieties. We prove that these varieties have osculating dimension smaller than expected. Furthermore,…

In this paper we give an algebraic characterization of the projections lattice of $M_n(\mathbb C)$ and we extend it to the case of $B(H)$, with $H$ separable Hilbert space.

We use coverings by smooth projective varieties then apply nonabelian Hodge techniques to study the topology of proper Deligne-Mumford stacks as well as more general simplicial varieties.

In the first part of the thesis, we study a classical invariant of projective varieties, the secant defectivity. The second part is devoted to modern algebraic geometry, we study the birational geometry of blow-ups of Grassmannians at…

An overview of some recent results on the geometry of partial differential equations in application to integrable systems is given. Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism both in the free case (on the space of infinite jets) and with…
