A general hypersurface $X$ of degree $\leq n$ in projective space contains curves $C$ of any genus $g\geq 0$ and sufficiently large degree depnding on $g$ whose normal and conormal bundles have good postulation or natural cohomology in the…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a concrete category. We prove that if $\mathcal{C}$ admits a universally free object $\mathsf F$, then there is a projectively universal morphism $u\colon \mathsf F\to \mathsf F$, i.e., a morphism $u$ such that for any…

We study the intersection theory of punctured pseudoholomorphic curves in $4$-dimensional symplectic cobordisms. We first study the local intersection properties of such curves at the punctures. We then use this to develop topological…

We use the solution set of a real ordinary differential equation which has order n which is at least 2 to construct a smooth curve C in R^n. We describe when C is a proper embedding of infinite length with finite total first curvature.

Let B be a finite collection of geometric (not necessarily convex) bodies in the plane. Clearly, this class of geometric objects naturally generalizes the class of disks, lines, ellipsoids, and even convex polygons. We consider geometric…

This article describes an entirely algebraic construction for developing conformal geometries, which provide models for, among others, the Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic geometries. On one hand, their relationship is usually shown…

The local Lipschitz property is shown for the graph avoiding multiple point intersection with lines directed in a given cone. The assumption is much stronger than those of Marstrand's well-known theorem, but the conclusion is much stronger…

We consider a possibility of the existence of intersection homology morphism, which would be associated to a map of analytic varieties. We assume that the map is an inclusion of codimension one. Then the existence of a morphism follows from…

We prove that every vertex transitive, planar, 1-ended, graph covers every graph whose balls of radius r are isomorphic to the ball of radius r in G for a sufficiently large r. We ask whether this is a general property of finitely presented…

We study the gonality and canonical model of a rational unicuspidal curve C. We are mainly interested in the case where C is non-Gorenstein. We classify such curves via different notions of gonality, and by its canonical model C', up to…

Euler-symmetric projective varieties, introduced by Baohua Fu and Jun-Muk Hwang in 2020, are nondegenerate projective varieties admitting many $\mathbb{C}^{\times}$-actions of Euler type. They are quasi-homogeneous and uniquely determined…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $X/k$ be a projective variety. The conjectures of Demailly--Green--Griffiths--Lang posit that every integral subvariety of $X$ is of general type if and only if $X$ is…

We give conditions for $f$-positivity of relative complete intersections in projective bundles. We also derive an instability result for the fibres.

Chisini's conjecture asserts that for a cuspidal curve $B\subset \mathbb P^2$ a generic morphism $f$ of a smooth projective surface onto $\mathbb P^2$ of degree $\geq 5$, branched along $B$, is unique up to isomorphism. We prove that if…

We consider a finite \'etale morphism $f:Y \to X$ of quasi-smooth Berkovich curves over a complete nonarchimedean non-trivially valued field $k$, assumed algebraically closed and of characteristic 0, and a skeleton…

From the work of Phong and Sturm in 2007, for a polarised projective manifold and an ample test configuration, one can associate the geodesic ray of plurisubharmonic metrics on the polarising line bundle using the solution of the…

Ein and Lazarsfeld have shown that one can read off the gonality of an algebraic curve from its syzygies in the embedding defined by any one line bundle of sufficiently large degree. This note extends their approach and shows that the…

We determine the gonality and the Clifford index for curves on a compact smooth toric surface. Moreover, it is shown that their gonality are computed by pencils on the ambient surface. From the geometrical view point, this means that the…

Let f: C --> P^3 be a general curve of genus g, mapped to P^3 via a general linear series of degree d; and let Q be a general (and thus smooth) quadric. In this paper, we show that the points of intersection f(C) \cap Q give a general…

We prove $f$-positivity of $\mathcal{O}_X(1)$ for arbitrary dimension fibrations over curves $f\colon X\to B$ whose general fibre is a complete intersection. In the special case where the family is a global complete intersection, we prove…
