For a smooth projective curve C with genus g >= 2 and a degree 1 line bundle L on C, let M := SU_{C}(r;L) be the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank r and with the fixed determinant L. In this paper, we study the small rational…

We prove that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective complex variety reconstructs the isomorphism classes of fibrations onto smooth projective curves of genus $g\geq 2$. Moreover, in dimension at most four,…

In this paper, we pose several conjectures on structures and images of maximal rationally connected fibrations of smooth projective varieties admitting semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature. Toward these conjectures, we prove that…

Let $f:X@>>>\Bbb P^1$ be a fibered surface with fibers of genus g>1. If f is semistable and non isotrivial we prove that X of non negative Kodaira dimension implies that the number s of singular fibers is at least 5. Information about the…

In this paper, we study the structure of Fano fibrations of varieties admitting an int-amplified endomorphism. We prove that if a normal $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial klt projective variety $X$ has an int-amplified endomorphism, then there exists…

For a given complex projective variety, the existence of entire curves is strongly constrained by the positivity properties of the cotangent bundle. The Green-Griffiths-Lang conjecture stipulates that entire curves drawn on a variety of…

Let $X$ be a rational elliptic surface with elliptic fibration $\pi:X\to\Bbb{P}^1$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of any characteristic. Given a conic bundle $\varphi:X\to\Bbb{P}^1$ we use numerical arguments to classify all…

To every covering of curves, we associate several varieties having the same field of moduli and same fields of definition. We deduce examples of curves having Q (the field of rationals) as field of moduli, that admit models over any…

Let C be a smooth complex projective curve of genus g and let X be its second symmetric product. This paper concerns the study of some attempts at extending to X the notion of gonality. In particular, we prove that the degree of…

We classify singular fibres of a projective Lagrangian fibration over codimension one points. As an application, we obtain a canonical bundle formula for a projective Lagrangian fibration over a smooth manifold.

It is proved that on a smooth algebraic variety, fibered into cubic surfaces over the projective line and sufficiently ``twisted'' over the base, there is only one pencil of rational surfaces -- that is, this very pencil of cubics. In…

In this paper, we give some results on the birational geometry of varieties of Fano type and boundedness problems in positive characteristic, including a result ensuring that boundedness is invariant under normalizations, a canonical bundle…

We study the problem of counting the number of varieties in families which have a rational point. We give conditions on the singular fibres that force very few of the varieties in the family to contain a rational point, in a precise…

For $G$ a split semi-simple group scheme and $P$ a principal $G$-bundle on a relative curve $X\to S$, we study a natural obstruction for the triviality of $P$ on the complement of a relatively ample Cartier divisor $D \subset X$. We show,…

Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus at least 2 over a field k. Given a line bundle L on C, we consider the moduli stack of rank 2n vector bundles E on C endowed with a nowhere degenerate symplectic form $b: E \otimes E \to L$ up to…

This paper is concerned with singular projective rationally connected threefolds $X$ which carry non-zero pluri-forms, \textit{i.e.} $H^0(X,(\Omega_X^1)^{[\otimes m]}) \neq \{0\}$ for some $m > 0$, where $(\Omega_X^1)^{[\otimes m]}$ is the…

Let $X$ be a smooth algebraic variety over $k$. We prove that any flat quasicoherent sheaf on $\operatorname{Ran}(X)$ canonically acquires a D-module structure. In addition, we prove that, if the geometric fiber $X_{\overline{k}}$ is…

We study extremality properties of covering families of rational curves on projective varieties. Among others, we show that on a normal and Q-factorial projective variety of dimension at most 4, every covering and quasi-unsplit family of…

We study very basic slc-trivial fibrations. We show that restricting on any lc center of a very basic slc-trivial fibration, its moduli part is numerically trivial if and only if it is $\mathbb Q$-linearly trivial. We then prove that…

We investigate the existence, and lack of unicity, of a holomorphic fibration by discs transversal to a rational curve in a complex surface.
