Regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties are smooth subvarieties of the flag variety, and their examples contain the flag variety itself and the permutohedral variety which is a toric variety. We give a complete classification of Fano and…

We prove that Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds of simple type are rigid, and that any line bundle on an Oeljeklaus-Toma manifold is flat.

We classify birationally rigid orbifold Fano 3-folds of index one defined by $5 \times 5$ Pfaffians. We give a sharp criterion for birational rigidity of these families based on the type of singularities that the varieties admit. Various…

In this survey, we gather together various results on the action of a real form of a complex semisimple Lie group on its flag manifolds. We start with the finiteness theorem of J.Wolf implying that at least one of the orbits is open. We…

First let $G$ be a completely solvable Lie group. We recall the proof of the following result: Any closed subgroup of $G$ possesses a unique syndetic hull in $G$. As a consequence we conclude that any uniform subgroup $\Gamma$ of $G$ is…

To each complex composition algebra $\mathbb{A}$, there associates a projective symmetric manifold $X(\mathbb{A})$ of Picard number one, which is just a smooth hyperplane section of the following varieties ${\rm Lag}(3,6), {\rm Gr}(3,6),…

We study the question whether rational homogeneous spaces are rigid under Fano deformation. In other words, given any smooth connected family f:X -> Zof Fano manifolds, if one fiber is biholomorphic to a rational homogeneous space S,…

We consider the action of the Levi subgroup of a parabolic subgroup that stabilizes a Schubert variety. We show that a smooth Schubert variety is a homogeneous space for a parabolic subgroup, or it has a smooth Schubert divisor. Further, we…

Let $G$ be a connected simply connected semisimple complex algebraic group and $P\, \subset\, G$ a parabolic subgroup. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a line bundle -- on the blow-up of the generalized flag variety $G/P$…

We consider quotients of complete flag manifolds in Cn and Rn by an action of the symmetric group on n objects. We compute their cohomology with field coefficients of any characteristic. Specifically, we show that these topological spaces…

We prove that a weak Fano manifold has unobstructed deformations. For a general variety, we investigate conditions under which a variety is necessarily obstructed.

We prove a universal embedding theorem for flag manifolds: every flag manifold admits a holomorphic isometric embedding into an irreducible classical flag manifold. This result generalizes the classical celebrated embedding theorems of…

We exhibit basic algebro-geometric results on the formal model of semi-infinite flag varieties and its Schubert varieties over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb K$ of characteristic $\neq 2$ from scratch. We show that the formal model…

In this short note we prove the Borel conjecture for a family of aspherical manifolds that includes higher graph manifolds.

We obtain new families of (1,2)-symplectic invariant metrics on the full complex flag manifolds F(n). For n > 4, we characterize n-3 different n-dimensional families of (1,2)-symplectic invariant metrics on F(n). Any of these families…

Iterating the procedure of making a double cover over a given variety, we construct large families of smooth higher-dimensional Fano varieties of index 1. These varieties can be realized as complete intersections in various weighted…

It is well known that there are totally 130 deformation families of quasi-smooth terminal weighted hypersurface Fano threefolds and all members belonging to 95 families of Fano indices one are birationally rigid. Among remaining $35$…

The main result of this paper is that every (separated) toric variety which has a semigroup structure compatible with multiplication on the underlying torus is necessarily affine. In the course of proving this statement, we also give a…

It is a well-known fact that families of minimal rational curves on rational homogeneous manifolds of Picard number one are uniform, in the sense that the tangent bundle to the manifold has the same splitting type on each curve of the…

We show that the fundamental group of any smooth subelliptic variety is finite. Moreover, it is also proved that every finite group can be realized as the fundamental group of a smooth subelliptic variety. As a consequence, it follows that…
