We prove that for every reductive algebraic group $H$ with centre of positive dimension and every integer $K$ there is a smooth and projective variety $X$ and an algebraic $H$-torsor $P \to X$ such that the classifying map $X \to \Bclass H$…

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 describe the effective and the big cones of a projective symmetric variety. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient combinatorial criterion for the bigness of a nef divisor on a projective symmetric variety. When the variety is…

In this paper, we associate an invariant $\alpha_{x}(L)$ to an algebraic point $x$ on an algebraic variety $X$ with an ample line bundle $L$. The invariant $\alpha$ measures how well $x$ can be approximated by rational points on $X$, with…

In the present paper we are concerned with the possible values of Seshadri constants. While in general every positive rational number appears as the local Seshadri constant of some ample line bundle, we point out that for adjoint line…

Using symplectic topology and the Radon transform, we prove that smooth 4-dimensional projective planes are diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^2$. We define the notion of a plane curve in a smooth projective plane, show that plane curves in high…

We prove that certain quiver varieties are irreducible and therefore are isomorphic to Hilbert schemes of points of the total spaces of the bundles $\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^1}(-n)$ for $n \ge 1$.

It is well known that multi-point Seshadri constants for a small number $s$ of points in the projective plane are submaximal. It is predicted by the Nagata conjecture that their values are maximal for $s\geq 9$ points. Tackling the problem…

We define the characteristic numbers of a holomorphic k-distribution of any dimension on $mathbb P^n$ and obtain relations between these numbers and the characteristic numbers of an invariant subvariety. As an application we bound the…

In this paper we prove that a smooth family of canonically polarized manifolds parametrized by a special (in the sense of Campana) quasi-projective variety is isotrivial.

The space of monic centered cubic polynomials with marked critical points is isomorphic to C^2. For each n>0, the locus Sn formed by all polynomials with a specified critical point periodic of exact period n forms an affine algebraic set.…

Assuming projective determinacy, we extend Spector's strong version of the Spector-Gandy Theorem to all odd levels of the projective hierarchy: Theorem. For every space $X$ which is a finite product of the natural numbers $N$ and Baire…

We prove the following result: Let B be a smooth, irreducible, quasi-projective variety over the complex numbers and assume that B has a projective compactification \bar{B} such that \bar{B} - B is of codimension at least two in \bar{B}.…

We study the moduli stacks of slope-semistable torsion-free coherent sheaves that admit reflexive, respectively locally free, Seshadri graduations on a smooth projective variety. We show that they are open in the stack of coherent sheaves…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve of genus $g$ over $k$. Fix an integer $n \geq 2$, and let $S^n(X)$ be the $n$-fold symmetric product of $X$. In this…

We give a simple combinatorial proof of the toric version of Mori's theorem that the only $n$-dimensional smooth projective varieties with ample tangent bundle are the projective spaces $\mathbb{P}^n$.

Schmidt's subspace theorem in terms of Seshadri constants for closed subschemes in subgeneral position has been already developed sharply. We derive our theorem for numerically equivalent ample divisors by dint of the above theory step by…

We define the nef complexity of a projective variety $X$. This invariant compares $\dim X+\rho(X)$ with the sum of the coefficients of nef partitions of $-K_X$. We prove that the nef complexity is non-negative and it is zero precisely for…

Let $T$ be a positive closed current of unit mass on the complex projective space $\mathbb P^n$. For certain values $\alpha<1$, we prove geometric properties of the set of points in $\mathbb P^n$ where the Lelong number of $T$ exceeds…

We prove irreducible components of moduli spaces of semistable representations of skewed-gentle algebras, and more generally, clannish algebras, are isomorphic to products of projective spaces. This is achieved by showing irreducible…
