Let $Y$ admit a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition of its derived category, and consider a cyclic cover $X\to Y$ ramified over a divisor $Z$. In a setting not considered by Kuznetsov and Perry, we define a subcategory $\mathcal{A}_Z$ of…

We investigate compact complex manifolds of dimension three and second Betti number $b_2(X) = 0$. We are interested in the algebraic dimension $a(X)$, which is by definition the transcendence degree of the field of meromorphic functions…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, and let $C$ be a nonsingular projective curve over $\mathbb{K}$. We prove that for any real number $x \geq 2$, there are minimal surfaces of general type $X$ over…

Recently, Chern vector with arbitrary formula $\textbf{C}\!=\!(\mathcal{C}_{yz},\mathcal{C}_{xz},\mathcal{C}_{xy})$ in three-dimensional systems has been experimentally realized [\B{Nature 609, 925 (2022)}]. Motivated by these progresses,…

We prove that for smooth projective threefolds whose anticanonical divisors are nef, the second Chern classes are pseudo-effective under a weak assumption. As an application, the pseudo-effectivity of the second Chern classes implies that…

Let $(X,C)$ be a germ of a threefold $X$ with terminal singularities along an irreducible reduced complete curve $C$ with a contraction $f: (X,C)\to (Z,o)$ such that $C=f^{-1}(o)_{\red}$ and $-K_X$ is ample. Assume that a general member…

Let $X$ be the product of two projective spaces and consider the general CICY threefold $Y$ in $X$ with configuration matrix $A$. We prove the finiteness part of the analogue of the Clemens' conjecture for such a CICY in low bidegrees. More…

What are called secondary characteristic classes in Chern-Weil theory are a refinement of ordinary characteristic classes of principal bundles from cohomology to differential cohomology. We consider the problem of refining the construction…

Consider an involution of a smooth projective variety over a field of characteristic not two. We look at the relations between the variety and the fixed locus of the involution from the point of view of cobordism. We show in particular that…

We prove an optimal Kawamata-Miyaoka-type inequality for terminal $\mathbb Q$-Fano threefolds with Fano index at least $3$. As an application, any terminal $\mathbb Q$-Fano threefold $X$ satisfies the following Kawamata-Miyaoka-type…

In this article we prove the existence of pl-flipping and divisorial contractions and pl flips in dimension $n$ for compact K\"ahler varieties, assuming results of the minimal model program in dimension $n-1$. We also give a self contained…

Let X be a smooth, complete, toric variety. We study those curves C in X that are contractible, in the sense that there exists an equivariant morphism with connected fibers, with source X, that contracts exactly the irreducible curves that…

We exhibit some new families of cyclotomic fields which have non-trivial plus parts of their class numbers. We also prove the $3$ - divisibility of the plus part of the class number of another family consisting of infinitely many cyclotomic…

We investigate Gromov-Witten invariants associated to exceptional classes for primitive birational contractions on a Calabi-Yau threefold X. It was observed in a previous paper that these invariants are locally defined, in that they can be…

It is known that the optimal Noether inequality $\mathrm{vol}(X) \ge \frac{4}{3}p_g(X) - \frac{10}{3}$ holds for every $3$-fold $X$ of general type with $p_g(X) \ge 11$. In this paper, we give a complete classification of $3$-folds $X$ of…

On a projective surface it is well-known that the set of curves orthogonal to a nef line bundle is either finite or uncountable. We show that this dichotomy fails in higher dimension by constructing a nef line bundle on a threefold which is…

The inequality $|X| \leq 2^{\chi(X)}$ has been proved to be true for Lindel\"of spaces (Arhangel'ski\u\i, 1969), $H$-closed spaces (Dow-Porter, 1982) and ccc spaces (Hajnal-Ju\'asz 1967), by quite different arguments. We present a common…

Let $\Cal E$ be a very ample vector bundle of rank two on a smooth complex projective threefold $X$. An inequality about the third Segre class of $\Cal E$ is provided when $K_X+\det \Cal E$ is nef but not big, and when a suitable positive…
