The goal of these lectures is to explain speaker's results on uniqueness properties of spherical varieties. By a uniqueness property we mean the following. Consider some special class of spherical varieties. Define some combinatorial…

We prove birational superrigidity of generic Fano fiber spaces $V/{\mathbb P}^1$, the fibers of which are Fano complete intersections of index 1 and dimension $M$ in ${\mathbb P}^{M+k}$, provided that $M\geq 2k+1$. The proof combines the…

We show that every Mori dream space of globally $F$-regular type is of Fano type. As an application, we give a characterization of varieties of Fano type in terms of the singularities of their Cox rings.

We classify smooth surfaces whose higher cohomologies of i-forms for all i vanish. We show that if such a surface is not affine, then it has essentially two possibilities.

Let $X$ be a complex smooth Fano variety of dimension $n$. Assume that $X$ admits a birational contraction of an extremal ray. In this paper, we give a classification of such $X$ when the pseudoindex is equal to $\frac{\dim X}{2}$.

We study automorphisms of the affine line over rings like ZZ/p^n.

We study the Picard variety of the Fano surface of nodal and mildly cuspidal cubic threefolds in arbitrary characteristic by relating divisors on the Fano surface to divisors on the symmetric product of a curve of genus 4.

It is shown that hypersurfaces of degree $M$ in ${\mathbb P}^M$, $M\geqslant 5$, with at most quadratic singularities of rank at least 3, satisfying certain conditions of general position, are birationally superrigid Fano varieties and the…

We classify Fano fivefolds of index two which are projectivization of rank two vector bundles over four dimensional manifolds.

In this note, we discuss a number of open problems in K-stability theory.

We describe a class of toric varieties in the $N$-dimensional affine space which are minimally defined by no less than $N-2$ binomial equations.

The goal of this work is to study geometric properties of geometrically irreducible subschemes on degenerations of Fano varieties (more generally, of separably rationally connected varieties). It is known that these geometrically…

Let G be a complex reductive group. A normal G-variety X is called spherical if a Borel subgroup of G has a dense orbit in X. Of particular interest are spherical varieties which are smooth and affine since they form local models for…

We prove that affine Coxeter groups are profinitely rigid.

In the present paper we discuss coherent sheaves of rank > 1 whose projectivization gives rise to smooth varieties - varieties of this type are also called smooth scrolls. We prove some basic properties of these varieties and we give some…

We investigate the relationship between the Fano type property on fibers over a Zariski dense subset and the global Fano type property. We establish the invariance of N\'eron-Severi spaces, nef cones, effective cones, movable cones, and…

We study weighted Fano fourfolds of K3 type realized as hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. Under the additional assumption that the singular locus has dimension at most one, we prove that only finitely many such families exist. We…

We prove several boundedness results for log Fano pairs with certain K-stability. In particular, we prove that K-semistable log Fano pairs of Maeda type form a log bounded family. We also compute K-semistable domains for some examples.

We investigate geometry of D-affine varieties. Our main result is that a D-affine rational projective surface over an algebraically closed field is a generalised flag variety of a reductive group.

We consider a natural generalization of both locally finite irreducible root systems and extended affine root systems defined by Saito. We classify the systems.
