Every homogeneous Riemannian C_0-space (N,g) is associated with its minimal polynomial. To provide explicit examples, we compute the minimal polynomials for generalized Heisenberg groups equipped with their canonical left-invariant metrics.

We give a light introduction to some recent developments in Mori theory, and to our recent direct proof of the finite generation of the canonical ring.

Using elementary graded automorphisms of polytopal algebras (essentially the coordinate rings of projective toric varieties) polyhedral versions of the group of elementary matrices and the Steinberg and Milnor groups are defined. They…

Given a connected reductive algebraic group $G$ and a spherical $G$-variety $X$, a $B$-root subgroup on $X$ is a one-parameter additive group of automorphisms of $X$ normalized by a Borel subgroup $B \subset G$. We obtain a complete…

We prove a numerical characterization of $\mathbb{P}^n$ for varieties with at worst isolated local complete intersection quotient singularities. In dimension three, we prove such a numerical characterization of $\mathbb{P}^3$ for normal…

We study the GKM theory for a equivariant stratified space having orbifold structures in tis successive quotients. Then, we introduce the notion of an \emph{almost simple polytope}, as well as a \emph{divisive toric variety} generalizing…

Recently, Mertens, Ono, and the third author studied mock modular analogues of Eisenstein series. Their coefficients are given by small divisor functions, and have shadows given by classical Shimura theta functions. Here, we construct a…

Toric geometry provides a bridge between algebraic geometry and combinatorics of fans and polytopes. For each polarized toric variety (X,L) we have associated a polytope P. In this thesis we use this correspondence to study birational…

We consider the minimal model program for varieties that are not Q-factorial. We show that, in many cases, its steps are simpler than expected. In particular, all flips are 1-complemented. The main applications are to log terminal…

This paper is a gentle introduction to the theory of quasi-log varieties by Ambro. We explain the fundamental theorems for the log minimal model program for log canonical pairs. More precisely, we give a proof of the base point free theorem…

Let $T_R(M)$ be a tensor ring, where $R$ is a ring and $M$ is an $N$-nilpotent $R$-bimodule. Under certain conditions, we characterize projectively coresolved Gorenstein flat modules over $T_R(M)$, showing that a $T_R(M)$ module $(X,u)$ is…

We first introduce a weak type of Zariski decomposition in higher dimensions: an $\R$-Cartier divisor has a weak Zariski decomposition if birationally and in a numerical sense it can be written as the sum of a nef and an effective…

Given an affine toric variety $X$ embedded in a smooth variety, we prove a general result about the mixed Hodge module structure on the local cohomology sheaves of $X$. As a consequence, we prove that the singular cohomology of a proper…

We consider a class of stable smoothable n-dimensional varieties, the analogs of stable curves. Assuming the minimal model program in dimension n+1, we prove that this class is bounded. From Kollar's method of constructing projective moduli…

We revisit the problem of polytypism in layered $\textit{MX}_2$ materials, with a view to reinterpreting the phase space accessible to this family. Our starting point is to develop a simple, constructive and compact label for the most…

We discuss variations of mixed Hodge structure arising from projective morphisms of complex analytic spaces. Then we treat generalizations of Koll\'ar's torsion-free theorem, vanishing theorem, and so on, for reducible complex analytic…

We study several approaches for constructing a minimal model of Universe evolution by matching different stages of scale factor laws. We discuss the continuity in the transitions among the stages and the time variables involved. We develop…

Recent developments in engineering techniques for spatial data collection such as geographic information systems have resulted in an increasing need for methods to analyze large spatial data sets. These sorts of data sets can be found in…

Using the theory of Klyachko filtrations for reflexive sheaves on toric varieties, we give a description of toric foliations and their singularities in terms of combinatorial data. We extend Spicer's results about co-rank one toric…

Given a family of lattice polytopes, a common endeavor in Ehrhart theory is the classification of those polytopes in the family that are Gorenstein, or more generally level. In this article, we consider these questions for…
