We classify Gorenstein stable numerical Godeaux surfaces with worse than canonical singularities and compute their fundamental groups.
We construct from a general del Pezzo surface of degree 1 a Gorenstein stable surfaces $X$ with $K_X^2=1$ and $p_g(X)=q(X)=0$. These surfaces are not smoothable but give an open subset of an irreducible component of the moduli space of…
We classify all normal stable Horikawa surfaces with only $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothable log canonical singularities. Furthermore, we provide a criterion for their global $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothability and describe the boundary…
We show that all the semi-smooth stable complex Godeaux surfaces, classified in [FPR18a], are smoothable, and that the moduli stack is smooth of the expected dimension 8 at the corresponding points.
In this paper we consider Gorenstein stable surfaces with $K^2_X=1$ and positive geometric genus. Extending classical results, we show that such surfaces admit a simple description as weighted complete intersection. We exhibit a wealth of…
We classify - as far as possible - Gorenstein stable surfaces with $K_X^2 = 1$ and $\chi(\mathcal O_X) = 2$, describing several strata in the moduli space quite in detail.
In this paper we propose an approach to investigate the canonical rings of surfaces of general type whose canonical system has isolated base points and yields a birational map onto its image. We apply then the method in the concrete case of…
We show that Gorenstein singularities that are cones over singular Fano varieties provided by so-called flag quivers are smoothable in codimension three. Moreover, we give a precise characterization about the smoothability in codimension…
We introduce classes of rings which are close to being Gorenstein. These rings arise naturally as specializations of rings of countable CM type. We study these rings in detail, and along the way generalize an old result of Teter which…
Revised Version. An example of a locally smoothable stable surface that does not have a global smoothing has been added.
In this paper, we will give a complete classification of Gorenstein stable log surfaces $(X,\Lambda)$ with $(K_X+\Lambda)^2=p_g(X,\Lambda)-1$, where $p_g(X,\Lambda):=h^0(X,K_X+\Lambda)$. In particular, we classify Gorenstein stable surfaces…
We construct a normal projective $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein surface over an algebraically closed field whose canonical ring is not finitely generated. Moreover, we provide a counterexample to the minimal model program for…
The compactification $\overline M_{1,3}$ of the Gieseker moduli space of surfaces of general type with $K_X^2 =1 $ and $\chi(X)=3$ in the moduli space of stable surfaces parametrises so-called stable I-surfaces. We classify all such…
In a first part of this paper, we prove constancy of the canonical graded Betti table among the smooth curves in linear systems on Gorenstein weak Fano toric surfaces. In a second part, we show that Green's canonical syzygy conjecture holds…
We characterize all Gorenstein rings generated by strongly stable sets of monomials of degree two. We compute their Hilbert series in several cases, which also provides an answer to a question by Migliore and Nagel.
We classify del Pezzo surfaces of Picard number one with log canonical singularities admitting Q-Gorenstein smoothings.
Recent work ([18], [1]) has produced a complete list of weighted homogeneous surface singularities admitting smoothings whose Milnor fibre has only trivial rational homology (a "rational homology disk"). Though these special singularities…
For a smooth Del Pezzo surface the direct sum of global sections of all isomorphism classes of invertible sheaves on it can be almost canonically endowed with a ring structure, called the Cox ring. We show that in characteristic 0 this ring…
Let $X$ be a Gorenstein minimal projective $3$-fold with at worst locally factorial terminal singularities. Suppose that the canonical map is generically finite onto its image. C. Hacon showed that the canonical degree is universally…
We consider log del Pezzo surfaces coming with a non-trivial torus action. Such a surface is 1/k-log canonical if it allows a resolution of singularities with discrepanies all greater or equal to 1/k-1. We provide a concrete classification…
