For all nonsingular projective $n$-folds $V$ of general type, we prove the existence of Noether type inequalities in the following form: $$\text{vol}(V)\geq a_{n,k}h^0(\Omega_V^k)-b_{n,k}$$ where $0< k\leq n$, $a_{n,k}$ and $b_{n,k}$ are…

If $X$ is a smooth complex projective 3-fold with ample canonical divisor $K$, then the inequality $K^3\ge {2/3}(2p_g-7)$ holds, where $p_g$ denotes the geometric genus. This inequality is nearly sharp. We also give similar, but more…

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…

We establish the Noether inequality for projective $3$-folds. More precisely, we prove that the inequality $${\rm vol}(X)\geq \tfrac{4}{3}p_g(X)-{\tfrac{10}{3}}$$ holds for all projective $3$-folds $X$ of general type with either…

We establish the Noether inequality \[\textrm{Vol}(X)\geq \frac{4}{3}p_g(X)-\frac{10}{3}\] for all projective $3$-folds $X$ of general type with geometric genus $5\leq p_g(X)\leq 10$ where $\textrm{Vol}(X)$ is the canonical volume. This…

1) We give a 3-dimensional analogue of M. Noether's inequality for canonically polarized threefolds: $K^3\ge 2(2p_g-5)/3$. This inequality is sharp by known examples of M. Kobayashi. 2) Given a minimal 3-fold $X$ of general type with…

Let X be a smooth projective minimal 3-fold of general type. We prove the sharp inequality K^3_X >= (2 /3)(2p_g(X) - 5), an analogue of the classical Noether inequality for algebraic surfaces of general type

Let $X$ be a Gorenstein minimal $3$-fold of general type. We prove the optimal inequality: $$K_X^{3}\geq \frac{4}{3}\chi(\omega_X)-2,$$ where $\chi(\omega_X)$ is the Euler-Poincar$\acute{\text{e}}$ characteristic of the dualizing sheaf…

We give explicit formul{\ae} for Noether invariants associated to Killing vector fields for the variational problem of minimal and constant mean curvature surfaces in 3-manifolds. In the case of homogeneous spaces, such invariants are the…

We establish Noether's inequality for surfaces of general type in positive characteristic.Then we extend Enriques' and Horikawa's classification of surfaces on the Noether line, the so-called Horikawa surfaces. We construct examples for all…

We construct smooth projective varieties of general type with the smallest known volume and others with the most known vanishing plurigenera in high dimensions. The optimal volume bound is expected to decay doubly exponentially with…

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of three dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under two kinds of discrete subgroups of $O(3)$ of order four. We also characterize the convex bodies with the minimal volume product…

We generalize the hyperplane inequality in dimensions up to 4 to the setting of arbitrary measures in place of the volume. To prove this generalization we establish stability in the affirmative part of the solution to the Busemann-Petty…

Let $X$ be a smooth irregular $3$-fold of general type over $\mathbb{C}$. We prove that the optimal Noether inequality $$ \mathrm{vol}(X) \ge \frac{4}{3}p_g(X) $$ holds if $p_g(X) \ge 16$ or if $X$ has a Gorenstein minimal model. Moreover,…

In this paper, inspired by work of Fano, Morin and Campana--Flenner, we give a full projective classification of (however singular) varieties of dimension 3 whose general hyperplane sections have negative Kodaira dimension, and we partly…

For each $n\geq 3$ we give examples of infinitesimally rigid projective manifolds of general type of dimension $n$ with non-contractible universal cover. We provide examples with projective and examples with non-projective universal cover.

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of three dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under a discrete subgroup of $O(3)$ in several cases. We also characterize the convex bodies with the minimal volume product in each…

In this short note, we give a refinement of our previous work (arXiv:1803.05553) stating that for a projective $3$-fold $X$ of general type with either $p_g(X)\leq 4$ or $p_g(X)\geq 11$, $$\text{vol}(X)\geq…

Two conjectures relating the Kodaira dimension of a smooth projective variety and existence of number of nowhere vanishing 1-forms on the variety are proposed and verified in dimension 3.

In this paper we study a notion of volume for Cartier divisors on arbitrary blow-ups of normal complex algebraic varieties of dimension greater than one, with a distinguished point. We apply this to study a volume for normal isolated…
