In 2019, Abramovich--Temkin--Wlodarczyk and McQuillan used weighted blow-ups to obtain very fast and functorial algorithms for resolution of singularities in characteristic zero. Recently, Abramovich--Quek--Schober simplified the…

In this paper we discuss some recent results about extremal contractions of complex algebraic varieties. These are proper surjective maps, $\phi: X\longrightarrow Z$, of normal varieties with connected fibers such that $X$ has mild…

In this work, we consider the singular set in the thin obstacle problem with weight $|x_{n+1}|^a$ for $a\in (-1, 1)$, which arises as the local extension of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian (a non-local problem). We develop…

We give a formula for the integral Chow rings of weighted blow-ups. Along the way, we also compute the integral Chow rings of weighted projective stack bundles, a formula for the Gysin homomorphism of a weighted blow-up, and a…

We show that 3-fold terminal flips and divisorial contractions to a curve may be factored by a sequence of weighted blow-ups, flops, blow-downs to a locally complete intersection curve in a smooth 3-fold or divisorial contractions to a…

In this work we study the blow-up of solutions of a weakly coupled system of damped semilinear wave equations in the scattering case with power nonlinearities. We apply an iteration method to study both the subcritical case and the critical…

Let f: X \to Z be a surjective morphism of smooth complex projective varieties with connected fibers. Suppose that L is a pseudo-effective divisor on X that is f-numerically trivial. We show that there is a divisor D on Z such that L is…

Let X be the blow-up of a smooth projective 4-fold Y along a smooth curve C and let E be the exceptional divisor. Assume that X is a Fano manifold and has an elementary extremal contraction $\phi: X \to Z$ of (3,1)-type such that E is…

We prove several statements about arithmetic hyperbolicity of certain blow-up varieties. As a corollary we obtain multiple examples of simply connected quasi-projective varieties that are pseudo-arithmetically hyperbolic. This generalizes…

We consider blowups at a general point of weighted projective planes and, more generally, of toric surfaces with Picard number one. We give a unifying construction of negative curves on these blowups such that all previously known families…

We give evidence for a uniformization-type conjecture, that any algebraic variety can be altered into a variety endowed with a tower of smooth fibrations of relative dimension one.

In this paper the three-dimensional divisorial contractions $f\colon Y\to (X\ni P)$ are classified provided that $\Exc f=E$ is an irreducible divisor, $f(E)=P$, the variety $Y$ has canonical singularities and $(X\ni P)$ is a toric terminal…

We show that if a homogeneous polynomial $f$ in $n$ variables has Waring rank $n+1$, then the corresponding projective hypersurface $f=0$ has at most isolated singularities, and the type of these singularities is completely determined by…

Let $f_s: X_s \to {\bf {P}}^2$ be the blowing-up of $s$ distinct points and $E$ a vector bundle on $X_s$. Here we give a cohomological criterio which is equivalent to $E \cong f_s^\ast (A)$ with $A$ a direct sum of line bundles. We also…

In this paper we study singularities defined by the action of Frobenius in characteristic $p > 0$. We prove results analogous to inversion of adjunction along a center of log canonicity. For example, we show that if $X$ is a Gorenstein…

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 $G/P$…

Recently Qi S. Zhang provides examples of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations which, under suitable hypothesis, blow up in finite time. He considers axially symmetric solutions in a cylinder $D\,$ under appropriate boundary conditions…

In an earlier paper (D. S. Keeler, D. Rogalski, and J. T. Stafford, ``Naive noncommutative blowing up,'' Duke Math. J., 126 (2005), 491-546), we defined and investigated the properties of the naive blowup of an integral projective scheme X…

Let $V$ be a $G$-module where $G$ is a complex reductive group. Let $Z:=\quot VG$ denote the categorical quotient and let $\pi\colon V\to Z$ be the morphism dual to the inclusion $\O(V)^G\subset\O(V)$. Let $\phi\colon Z\to Z$ be an…

We prove the weight part of Serre's conjecture in generic situations for forms of $U(3)$ which are compact at infinity and split at places dividing $p$ as conjectured by Herzig. We also prove automorphy lifting theorems in dimension three.…
