We give an example for the Kuznetsov-Shinder conjecture, with infinitely many non-isomorphic D-equivalent and L-equivalent varieties.

Let $X$ and $Y$ be smooth projective varieties over $\mathbb{C}$. They are called {\it $D$-equivalent} if their derived categories of bounded complexes of coherent sheaves are equivalent as triangulated categories, while {\it…

We show that the algebraic and the symplectic GW-inivariants of smooth projective varieties are equivalent.

Here we investigate the birational geometry of projective varieties of arbitrary dimension having defective higher secant varieties. We apply the classical tool of tangential projections and we determine natural conditions for uniruledness,…

We prove the conjecture that two projective symplectic resolutions for a symplectic variety $W$ are related by Mukai's elementary transformations over $W$ in codimension 2 in the following cases: (i). nilpotent orbit closures in a classical…

For any Lie group $G$, we construct a $G$-equivariant analogue of symplectic capacities and give examples when $G = \mathbb{T}^k\times\mathbb{R}^{d-k}$, in which case the capacity is an invariant of integrable systems. Then we study the…

We discuss the question of finding conditions on a derived equivalence between two smooth projective varieties $X$ and $Y$ that imply that $X$ and $Y$ are birational. The types of conditions we consider are in the spirit of finding…

We introduce the notion of a conical symplectic variety, and show that any symplectic resolution of such a variety is isomorphic to the Springer resolution of a nilpotent orbit in a semisimple Lie algebra, composed with a linear projection.

Irreducible symplectic manifolds are one of the three building blocks of compact K\"ahler manifolds with numerically trivial canonical bundle by the Beauville-Bogomolov decomposition theorem. There are several singular analogues of…

In this note we introduce and study the almost commuting varieties for the symplectic Lie algebras.

Differential algebraic geometry seeks to extend the results of its algebraic counterpart to objects defined by differential equations. Many notions, such as that of a projective algebraic variety, have close differential analogues but their…

We discuss some examples of open manifolds which admit non-isomorphic symplectic structures of Liouville type.

A symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ is called {\em (symplectically) uniruled} if there is a nonzero genus zero GW invariant involving a point constraint. We prove that symplectic uniruledness is invariant under symplectic blow-up and…

In this note, we propose a geometric analogue of Dirichlet's unit theorem on arithmetic varieties, that is, if X is a normal projective variety over a finite field and D is a pseudo-effective Q-Cartier divisor on X, does it follow that D is…

For a complex projective manifold Gromov-Witten invariants can be constructed either algebraically or symplectically. Using the versions of Gromov-Witten theory by Behrend and Fantechi on the algebraic side and by the author on the…

Generalizing work of Markushevich--Tikhomirov and Arbarello--Sacc\`a--Ferretti, we use relative Prym varieties to construct Lagrangian fibered symplectic varieties in infinitely many dimensions. We then give criteria for when the…

Euler-symmetric projective varieties are nondegenerate projective varieties admitting many C*-actions of Euler type. They are quasi-homogeneous and uniquely determined by their fundamental forms at a general point. We show that…

We introduce a notion of Homological Projective Duality for smooth algebraic varieties in dual projective spaces, a homological extension of the classical projective duality. If algebraic varieties $X$ and $Y$ in dual projective spaces are…

Let X be a projective irreducible symplectic manifold and L a non trivial nef divisor on X. Assume that the nef dimension of L is strictly less than the dimension of X. We prove that L is semiample

A different proof to a known criterion of derived equivalence implying birationality is given. Derived equivalent smooth projective curves over an algebraically closed field are proved to be isomorphic. A different proof of derived…
