Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb{C}$ of genus $g(C)\geqslant 3$ (respectively, $g(C)=2$). Fix integers $r,k$ such that $2\leqslant k\leqslant r-2$, (respectively, $3\leqslant k\leqslant r-2$). Let $\mathcal{Q}:={\rm…

Let $X = \mathbb{P}(E_1) \times_C \mathbb{P}(E_2)$ where $C$ is a smooth curve and let $E_1$, $E_2$ be vector bundles over $C$. In this paper, we extend the results in \cite{K-M-R} by computing the nef cone of $X$ without restriction on the…

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Cohen-Macaulayness of the tangent cone of a monomial curve in the 4-dimensional affine space. We study particularly the case where $C$ is a Gorenstein non-complete…

We prove curvature estimates for general curvature functions. As an application we show the existence of closed, strictly convex hypersurfaces with prescribed curvature $F$, where the defining cone of $F$ is $\C_+$. $F$ is only assumed to…

We address the following question: Determine the affine cones over smooth projective varieties which admit an action of a connected algebraic group different from the standard C*-action by scalar matrices and its inverse action. We show in…

We give generators for the nef cone and the cone of curves of rational surfaces obtained by blowing-up the complex projective plane at a set of points $\mathcal{B} \cup \mathcal{D}$, where $\mathcal{B}$ is the set of (proper and infinitely…

A generalized Kummer surface $X=Km_{3}(A,G_{A})$ is the minimal resolution of the quotient of a $2$-dimensional complex torus by an order 3 symplectic automorphism group $G_{A}$. A Kummer structure on $X$ is an isomorphism class of pairs…

Ellingsrud and Peskine (1989) proved that there exists a bound on the degree of smooth non general type surfaces in P^4. The latest proven bound is 52 by Decker and Schreyer in 2000. In this paper we consider bounds on the degree of a…

Let $F$ be Cayley's ruled cubic surface in a projective three-space over any commutative field $K$. We determine all collineations fixing $F$, as a set, and all cubic forms defining $F$. For both problems the cases $|K|=2,3$ turn out to be…

For a general cubic fourfold $X \subset \mathbb{P}^5$, we compute the Hodge numbers of the locus $S \subset F$ of lines of second type. We also give an upper bound of 6 for the degree of irrationality of the Fano scheme of lines of any…

We study base-point-freeness for big and nef line bundles on hyperk\"ahler manifolds of generalized Kummer type: For $n\in \{2,3,4\}$, we show that, generically in all but a finite number of irreducible components of the moduli space of…

We study the nef cone of self-products of a curve. When the curve is very general of genus $g>2$, we construct a nontrivial class of self-intersection 0 on the boundary of the nef cone. Up to symmetry, this is the only known nontrivial…

We study Fano fourfolds of K3 type with a conic bundle structure. We construct direct geometrical links between these fourfolds and hyperK\"ahler varieties. As a result we describe families of nodal surfaces that can be seen as…

The dual to a tetrahedron consists of a single vertex at which four edges and six faces are incident. Along each edge, three faces converge. A 2-foam is a compact topological space such that each point has a neighborhood homeomorphic to a…

We investigate nef and movable cones of hypersurfaces in Mori dream spaces. The first result is: Let $Z$ be a smooth Mori dream space of dimension at least four whose extremal contractions are of fiber type of relative dimension at least…

Theorem (uniformization). Let X be a compact Kahler manifold of dimension n with large, residually finite and nonamenable fundamental group. Then its universal covering is a bounded domain in the n-dimensional affine space.

We explore the birational structure and invariants of a foliated surface $(X, \mathcal F)$ in terms of the adjoint divisor $K_{\mathcal F}+\epsilon K_X$, $0< \epsilon \ll 1$. We then establish a bound on the automorphism group of an adjoint…

We determine the cone of nef divisors on the Voronoi compactification A_g^* of the moduli space A_g of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension g for genus g=2,3. As a corollary we obtain that the spaces A_g^*(n) with level-n…

In [3], Connes found a conformal invariant using Wodzicki's 1-density and computed it in the case of 4-dimensional manifold without boundary. In [14], Ugalde generalized the Connes' result to $n$-dimensional manifold without boundary. In…
