We prove the abundance conjecture for projective slc surfaces over arbitrary fields of positive characteristic. The proof relies on abundance for lc surfaces over abritrary fields, proved by Tanaka, and on the technique of Hacon and Xu to…

We study the Lefschetz standard conjecture on a smooth complex projective variety X. In degree 2, we reduce it to a local statement concerning deformations of vector bundles on X. When X is hyperk\"ahler, we show that the existence of…

We show a Chern-Weil type statement and a Hilbert-Samuel formula for a large class of singular plurisubharmonic metrics on a line bundle over a smooth projective complex variety. For this we use the theory of b-divisors and the so-called…

We investigate the holonomy group of singular K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on klt varieties with numerically trivial canonical divisor. Finiteness of the number of connected components, a Bochner principle for holomorphic tensors, and a…

Let $X^n\subset C^{n+a}$ or $X^n\subset P^{n+a}$ be a patch of an analytic submanifold of an affine or projective space, let $x\in X$ be a general point, and let L^k be a linear space of dimension k osculating to order m at x. If m is large…

In this paper we prove, using a refinement of Terracini's Lemma, a sharp lower bound for the degree of (higher) secant varieties to a given projective variety, which extends the well known lower bound for the degree of a variety in terms of…

We study line bundles on smooth toric DM stacks $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbf{\Sigma}}$ of arbitrary dimension. A sufficient condition is given for when infinitely many line bundles on $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbf{\Sigma}}$ have trivial cohomology. In…

Griffiths' conjecture asserts that a holomorphic vector bundle is ample if and only if it admits a Hermitian metric with positive curvature. In this paper, we present a new proof of this conjecture on compact Riemann surfaces using a system…

Let H be a homology theory for algebraic varieties over a field k. To a complete k-variety X, one naturally attaches an ideal of the coefficient ring H(k). We show that, when X is regular, this ideal depends only on the upper Chow motive of…

The goal of this article is twofold. On one hand, we study the subvarieties of projective varieties which possess partially ample normal bundle; we prove that they are G2 in the ambient space. This generalizes results of Hartshorne and…

We prove that the canonical ring of a canonical variety in the sense of de Fernex and Hacon is finitely generated. We prove that canonical varieties are klt if and only if R(-K_X) is finitely generated. We introduce a notion of nefness for…

Let $(X, \omega)$ be a weakly pseudoconvex K\"ahler manifold, $Y \subset X$ a closed submanifold defined by some holomorphic section of a vector bundle over $X,$ and $L$ a Hermitian line bundle satisfying certain positivity conditions. We…

Let $(X,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with quasi-positive Riemannian scalar curvature. If there exists a complex structure $J$ compatible with $g$, then the canonical bundle $K_X$ is not pseudo-effective and the Kodaira dimension…

In this article we give a general approach to the following analogue of Shafarevich's conjecture for some polarized algebraic varieties; suppose that we fix a type of an algebraic variety and look at families of such type of varieties over…

A complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n$ together with an ample vector bundle $E$ on it will be called a {\sf generalized polarized variety}. The adjoint bundle of the pair $(X,E)$ is the line bundle $K_X + det(E)$. We study the positivity…

The Hartshorne conjecture predicts that two submanifolds X and Y in a projective manifold Z with ample normal bundles meets as soon as dim X + dim Y is at least dim Z. We mostly assume slightly stronger that one of the normal bundles is…

A conic bundle is a contraction $X\to Z$ between normal varieties of relative dimension $1$ such that $-K_X$ is relatively ample. We prove a conjecture of Shokurov which predicts that, if $X\to Z$ is a conic bundle such that $X$ has…

We develop new characteristic-independent combinatorial criteria for semiampleness of divisors on $\overline{M}_{0,n}$. As an application, we associate to a cyclic rational quadratic form satisfying a certain balancedness condition an…

We solve a case of the Abelian Exponential-Algebraic Closedness Conjecture, a conjecture due to Bays and Kirby, building on work of Zilber, which predicts sufficient conditions for systems of equations involving algebraic operations and the…

We prove that Seshadri constants of some ample divisors are bigger than 1 on smooth threefolds whose anticanonical bundle is nef or on Fano varieties of small coindice. The main tools are (some known cases of) the Kawamata's effective…
