Let $A$ be an abelian variety over an algebraically closed field. We show that $A$ is the automorphism group scheme of some smooth projective variety if and only if $A$ has only finitely many automorphisms as an algebraic group. This…

In this paper we investigate the asymptotic growth of the number of irreducible and connected components of the moduli space of surfaces of general type corresponding to certain families of surfaces isogenous to a higher product. We obtain…

We prove Bertini type theorems and give some applications of them. The applications are in the context of Lefschetz theorem for Nori fundamental group for normal varieties as well as for geometric formal orbifolds. In another application,…

Motivated by a question by D. Mumford : can a computer classify all surfaces with $p_g = 0$ ? we try to show the complexity of the problem. We restrict it to the classification of the minimal surfaces of general type with $p_g = 0, K^2 = 8$…

We examine \'etale covers of genus two curves that occur in the linear system of a polarizing line bundle of type $(1,d)$ on a complex abelian surface. We give results counting fixed points of involutions on such curves as well as…

We study moduli of semistable twisted sheaves on smooth proper morphisms of algebraic spaces. In the case of a relative curve or surface, we prove results on the structure of these spaces. For curves, they are essentially isomorphic to…

We classify finite groups acting by birational transformations of a non-trivial Severi--Brauer surface over a field of characteristc zero that are not conjugate to subgroups of the automorphism group. Also, we show that the automorphism…

It is conjectured that there exist finitely many isomorphism classes of simple endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties of GL_2-type over \Q of bounded dimension. We explore this conjecture when particularized to quaternion endomorphism…

Let $A$ be abelian variety over the function field $K$ of a compact Riemann surface $B$. Fix a model $f \colon \mathcal{A} \to B$ of $A/K$ and a certain effective horizontal divisor $\DD \subset \mathcal{A}$. We give a sufficient condition…

Investigating a conjecture of Zannier, we study irreducible subvarieties of abelian schemes that dominate the base and contain a Zariski dense set of torsion points that lie on pairwise isogenous fibers. If everything is defined over the…

We characterize contractible curves on proper normal algebraic surfaces in terms of complementary Weil divisors. Using this we generalize the classical criteria of Castelnuovo and Artin. As application we derive a finiteness result on…

The moduli space of abelian surfaces with polarisation of type (1,t) and a bilevel structure is of general type if t is odd and at least 17.

In this paper we investigate Abel maps on normal surface singularities described in \cite{NNI}. We investigate the affine version of the class of the images of Abel maps on normal surface singularities. More precisely we consider the…

Let G be a finite group. For each integral representation $\rho$ of G we consider $\rho-$decomposable principally polarized abelian varieties; that is, principally polarized abelian varieties (X,H) with $\rho(G)-$action, of dimension equal…

Let S be a smooth irreducible curve defined over a number field k and consider an abelian scheme A over S and a curve C inside A, both defined over k. In previous works, we proved that when A is a fibered product of elliptic schemes, if C…

In this paper we show that if $\phi_{i}:A_{i}\rightarrow{A}$ is a semisimple pointed $K$-rational $\ell$-isogeny graph of order $n$ for a prime $\ell$, then the group of $\ell$-torsion points $A[\ell](\overline{K})$ contains a subspace of…

This is a survey article about Siegel modular varieties over the complex numbers. It is written mostly from the point of view of moduli of abelian varieties, especially surfaces. We cover compactification of Siegel modular varieties;…
