We construct smooth projective varieties of general type with the smallest known volume and others with the most known vanishing plurigenera in high dimensions. The optimal volume bound is expected to decay doubly exponentially with…
Let G be a semisimple connected linear algebraic group over C, and X a wonderful G-variety. We study the possibility of realizing X as a closed subvariety of the projective space of a simple G-module. We describe the wonderful varieties…
We use the canonical bundle formula for parabolic fibrations to give an inductive approach to the generalized abundance conjecture using nef reduction. In particular, we observe that generalized abundance holds for a klt pair $(X,B)$ if the…
Let $\overline{\mathrm{Mov}}^k(X)$ be the closure of the cone $\mathrm{Mov}^k(X)$ generated by classes of effective divisors on a projective variety $X$ with stable base locus of codimension at least $k+1$. We propose a generalized version…
The purpose of this paper is to give two supplements for vanishing theorems: One is a relative version of the Kawamata-Viehweg-Nadel type vanishing theorem, which is obtained from an observation for the variation of the numerical dimension…
Let $E$ be an ample vector bundle of rank $r$ on a projective variety $X$ with only log-terminal singularities. We consider the nefness of adjoint divisors $K_X+(t-r)det(E)$ when $t>=dim(X)$ and $t>r$. As a corollary, we classify pairs…
Supersymmetric heterotic string models, built from a Calabi-Yau threefold $X$ endowed with a stable vector bundle $V$, usually start from a phenomenologically motivated choice of a bundle $V_v$ in the visible sector, the spectral cover…
Let X be a smooth projective complex variety, and L a line bundle on X . We say that the linear system |L| has maximal variation if its elements have the maximum number dim|L| of moduli. We discuss some cases where this situation is…
Let X be a compact Kaehler threefold with terminal singularities such that K\_X is nef. We prove that K\_X is semiample.
The Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for smooth complex varieties states that algebraic and topological K-theory with finite coefficients become isomorphic in high degrees. We define the "Lichtenbaum-Quillen dimension" of a variety in terms…
The aim of this survey paper is threefold: (a) to discuss the status of the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture, (b) to report on recent developments towards the Abundance Conjecture, and (c) to discuss the nef line bundle version of the…
In this note we study two features of submanifolds (subvarieties) with ample normal bundles in a compact K\"ahler manifold X. First, we study how algebraic X can be, i.e. we investigate the algebraic dimension. Second, we study curves with…
We characterize $q$-ample Ulrich bundles on a variety $X \subseteq \mathbb P^N$ with respect to $(q+1)$-dimensional linear spaces contained in $X$.
In this paper, we show that if $X$ is a smooth variety of general type of dimension $m \geq 2$, for which its canonical map induces a double cover onto $Y$, where $Y$ is a projective bundle over $\mathbf P^1$, or onto a projective space or…
We give an analytic version of the injectivity theorem by using multiplier ideal sheaves, and prove some extension theorems for the adjoint bundle of dlt pairs. Moreover, by combining techniques of the minimal model program, we obtain some…
We study smooth projective complex varieties with ample cotangent bundle. Our main result is that in an abelian variety of dimension n, a complete intersection of at least n/2 general hypersurfaces of sufficiently high degrees has ample…

We prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with a K\"ahler metric of negative holomorphic sectional curvature has ample canonical line bundle. In dimensions greater than three, we prove that, under equal assumptions, the nef…
Given a covering f: X \to Y of projective manifolds, we consider the vector bundle E on Y given as the dual of f_*(\O_X) / \O_Y. This vector bundles often has positivity properties, e.g. E is ample when Y is projective space by a theorem of…
We study the class of compact K\"ahler manifolds with trivial canonical bundle and the property that the cohomology of the trivial line bundle is generated by one element. If the square of the generator is zero, we get the class of strict…
