We consider the union of certain irreducible components of cohomological support loci of the canonical bundle, which we call standard. We prove a structure theorem about them and single out some particular cases, recovering and improving…

Given a compact, connected Lie group $K$, we use principal $K$-bundles to construct manifolds with prescribed finite-dimensional algebraic models. Conversely, let $M$ be a compact, connected, smooth manifold which supports an almost free…

Given a compact complex manifold $M$, we investigate the holomorphic vector bundles $E$ on $M$ such that $\varphi^* E$ is trivial for some surjective holomorphic map $\varphi$, to $M$, from some compact complex manifold. We prove that these…

We derive an adjunction inequality for any smooth, closed, connected, oriented 4-manifold $X$ with $b^+=1$. This inequality depends only on the cohomology algebra and generalizes the inequality of Strle in the case of $b_1=0$. We…

For a group $G$ and $\omega\in Z^{3}(G, \text{U}(1))$, an $\omega$-anomalous action on a C*-algebra $B$ is a $\text{U}(1)$-linear monoidal functor between 2-groups $\text{2-Gr}(G, \text{U}(1), \omega)\rightarrow \underline{\text{Aut}}(B)$,…

We show that closed, connected 4-manifolds up to connected sum with copies of the complex projective plane are classified in terms of the fundamental group, the orientation character and an extension class involving the second homotopy…

In this note, we study rigid complex manifolds that are realized as quotients of a product of curves by a free action of a finite group. They serve as higher-dimensional analogues of Beauville surfaces. Using uniformization, we outline the…

The author proved that if the circle acts symplectically on a compact, connected symplectic manifold $M$ with three fixed points, then $M$ is equivariantly symplectomorphic to some standard action on $\mathbb{CP}^2$. In this paper, we…

Let G be a group which is topologically a CW-complex, BG a classifying space for G, and A a discrete abelian group. To a central extension of G by A, one can associate a cohomology class in $H^2(BG,A)$. We show this association is…

Here we investigate the property of effectivity for adjoint divisors. Among others, we prove the following results: (i) A normal projective variety $X$ with at most canonical singularities is uniruled if and only if for each very ample…

We construct holomorphic families of proper holomorphic embeddings of $\C^k$ into $\C^n$ ($0<k<n-1$), so that for any two different parameters in the family no holomorphic automorphism of $\C^n$ can map the image of the corresponding two…

Let $M$ be a smooth Fano threefold such that a canonical extension of the tangent bundle is an affine manifold. We show that $M$ is rational homogeneous.

Winkelmann considered compact complex manifolds $X$ equipped with a reduced effective normal crossing divisor $D\, \subset\, X$ such that the logarithmic tangent bundle $TX(-\log D)$ is holomorphically trivial. He characterized them as…

We discuss the problem of classifying birational extremal contractions of smooth threefolds where the canonical bundle is trivial along the curves contracted, in the case when a divisor is contracted to a point. We prove the analytic…

We study the topology of compact manifolds with a Lie group action for which there are only finitely many non-principal orbits, and describe the possible orbit spaces which can occur. If some non-principal orbit is singular, we show that…

Let G be a connected complex Lie group. We show that any flat principal G-bundle over any finite CW-complex pulls back to a trivial bundle over some finite covering space of the base space if and only if each real characteristic class of…

We classify all connected $n$-dimensional complex manifolds admitting an effective action of the unitary group $U_n$ by biholomorphic transformations. One consequence of this classification is a characterization of ${\bf C}^n$ by its…

Let $(X,L)$ be an $n$-dimensional polarized variety. Fujita's conjecture says that if $L^n>1$ then the adjoint bundle $K_X+nL$ is spanned and $K_X+(n+1)L$ is very ample. There are some examples such that $K_X+nL$ is not spanned or…

Let $X$ be a projective variety and let $C$ be a rational normal curve on $X$. We compute the normal bundle of $C$ in a general complete intersection of hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree in $X$. As a result, we establish the…
