We study the moduli spaces of rational curves on cubic hypersurfaces in characteristic $\neq2,3$. As a result, we prove that for every integer $d\geq1$ the Kontsevich moduli space of stable maps on a smooth cubic hypersurface $X$ of degree…

The aim of this paper is to prove two results concerning the rigidity of complete, immersed, orientable, stable minimal hypersurfaces: we show that they are hyperplane in $\mathbb{R}^4$, while they do not exist in positively curved closed…

In this paper, we show that Severi varieties parameterizing irreducible reduced planar curves of a given degree and geometric genus are either empty or irreducible in any characteristic. Following Severi's original idea, this gives a new…

Let $M$ be a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold that admits no infinitesimal conformally-flat deformations. Examples of such manifolds were constructed by Kapovich. Then if $g$ is a Riemannian metric on $M$ with scalar curvature greater than or…

We study Severi curves parametrizing rational bisections of elliptic fibrations associated to general pencils of plane cubics. Our main results show that these Severi curves are connected and reduced, and we give an upper bound on their…

We prove that any Besicovitch set in $\mathbb{R}^3$ must have Hausdorff dimension at least $5/2+\epsilon_0$ for some small constant $\epsilon_0>0$. This follows from a more general result about the volume of unions of tubes that satisfy the…

We use topological K-theory to study non-singular varieties with quadratic entry locus. We thus obtain a new proof of Russo's Divisibility Property for locally quadratic entry locus manifolds. In particular we obtain a K-theoretic proof of…

Suppose that $(X,d,\mu)$ is a metric measure space of finite Hausdorff dimension and that, for every Lipschitz $f \colon X \to \mathbb R$, $\operatorname{Lip}(f,\cdot)$ is dominated by every upper gradient of $f$. We show that $X$ is a…

We study several distinct but related Fourier analytic variants of the well-known Kakeya and Furstenberg set problems in the plane. For example, given $0<s,t<1$, we call a set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ an $(s,t)$-Kakeya set if there exists…

In this paper, we prove a Heintze-Karcher type inequality for capillary hypersurfaces supported on various hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space. The equality case only occurs on capillary totally umbilical hypersurfaces. Then we apply this…

In this paper we derive estimates for linear potentials that hold away from thin subsets. And, inspired by the celebrated work of Huber, we verify that, for a subset that is thin at a point, there is always a geodesic that reaches to the…

We survey several results in value distribution theory for parabolic Riemann surfaces. Let Y be a parabolic Riemann surface, i.e. subharmonic functions defined on Y are constant. We discuss Nevanlinna's theory for holomorphic maps f from Y…

Let $X$ be a minimal surface of general type over an algebraically closed field $\mathbf{k}$ of $\mathrm{char}.(\mathbf{k})=p\ge 0$. If the Albanese morphism $a_X:X\to \mathrm{Alb}_X$ is generically finite onto its image, we formulate a…

In this paper, we extend several results established for stable minimal hypersurfaces to $\delta$-stable minimal hypersurfaces. These include the regularity and compactness theorems for immersed $\delta$-stable minimal hypersurfaces in…

Let W be a projective variety of dimension n+1, L a free line bundle on W, X in $H^0(L^d)$ a hypersurface of degree d which is generic among those given by sums of monomials from $L$, and let $f : Y \to X$ be a generically finite map from a…

Let $L$ be a set of lines of an affine space over a field and let $S$ be a set of points with the property that every line of $L$ is incident with at least $N$ points of $S$. Let $D$ be the set of directions of the lines of $L$ considered…

Fix integers $r\geq 4$ and $i\geq 2$ (for $r=4$ assume $i\geq 3$). Assuming that the rational number $s$ defined by the equation $\binom{i+1}{2}s+(i+1)=\binom{r+i}{i}$ is an integer, we prove an upper bound for the genus of a reduced and…

Consider the $(2+1)$D Discrete Gaussian (ZGFF, integer-valued Gaussian free field) model in an $L\times L$ box above a hard floor. Bricmont, El-Mellouki and Fr\"ohlich (1986) established that, at low enough temperature, this random surface…

For a finite vector space $V$ and a non-negative integer $r\le\dim V$ we estimate the smallest possible size of a subset of $V$, containing a translate of every $r$-dimensional subspace. In particular, we show that if $K\subset V$ is the…

We establish an effective Bertini-type theorem for hypersurfaces $X_f \colon f = 0$ defined over a finite field $k$ for which $f$ has no linear factors over the algebraic closure $\overline{k}$. Given a line $L$ defined over $k$ and a…
