We prove a conjecture of V. V. Shokurov which in particular implies that the fibers of a resolution of a variety with divisorial log terminal singularities are rationally chain connected.

A K3 surface over a number field has infinitely many rational points over a finite field extension. For K3 surfaces of degree 2, arising as double covers of $\mathbb{P}^2$ branched along a smooth sextic curve, we give a bound for the degree…

We give bounds on the degree of generation and relations of section rings associated to arbitrary $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on projective spaces of all dimensions and Hirzebruch surfaces. For section rings of effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on…

We construct a presentation for the Cox ring of the projectivization $\mathbb{P}\mathcal{E}$ of any rank $n$ irreducible toric vector bundle on $\mathbb{P}^n$. We use this presentation to show that $\mathbb{P}\mathcal{E}$ always satisfies…

In analogy with recent works on $K3$ surfaces, we study the existence of infinitely many ruled divisors on projective irreducible holomorphic symplectic (IHS) manifolds. We prove such an existence result for any projective IHS manifold of…

Yanchevski\u{i} had asked whether conic bundle surfaces over $\mathbf{P}^1_k$ are unirational when $k$ is a finite field. We give a partial answer to his question by showing that for quasi-finite fields $k$ (e.g. finite fields) a regular…

We give a relation between the existence of a Zariski decomposition and the behavior of the restricted volume of a big divisor on a smooth (complex) projective variety. Moreover, we give an analytic description of the restricted volume in…

In this paper we prove that the $\mathcal{E}^\dagger_K$-valued cohomology, introduced in [9] is finite dimensional for smooth curves over Laurent series fields $k((t))$ in positive characteristic, and forms an…

The article is devoted to the investigation of representation of rational numbers by Cantor series. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a rational number to be representable by a positive Cantor series are formulated for the case of an…

In this note we compute the Poincare Series of almost stretched Gorenstein local rings. It turns out that it is rational

We prove that the canonical ring of a smooth projective variety is finitely generated.

We prove the finite generation of canonical rings of projective variety of general type defined over complex numbers.

In this paper, we prove an extension of Zaks' conjecture on integral domains with semi-regular proper homomorphic images (with respect to finitely generated ideals) to arbitrary rings (i.e., possibly with zero-divisors). The main result…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over a finite field. We show that any algebraic $1$-cycle on $X$ is rationally equivalent to a smooth $1$-cycle, which is a $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination of smooth curves on $X$. We also…

We prove that a large class of Poincar\'e duality pairs admit rational models (in the sense of Sullivan) of a particularly nice form associated to some Poincar\'e duality CDGA. These models have applications in particular to the…

We prove several results on the number of rational points on open subsets of Kummer varieties of arbitrary dimension. Some of our results are unconditional, and others depend on the Parity Conjecture (a corollary of the Conjecture of Birch…

We study projectivizations of a special class of toric vector bundles that includes cotangent bundles, whose associated Klyachko filtrations are particularly simple. For these projectivized bundles, we give generators for the cone of…

Earlier it was described to which extent the Alexander polynomial in several variables of an algebraic link in the Poincar\'e sphere determines the topology of the link. It was shown that, except some explicitly described cases, the…

We relate the notion of finite dimensionality of the Chow motive M(X) of a smooth projective variety X (as defined by S. Kimura) with the Conjectures of Beilinson, Bloch and Murre on the existence of a filtration on the Chow ring CH(X). We…

We prove the Bloch conjecture : $ c_2(E) \in H^4_\cald (X,\bbz(2))$ is torsion for holomorphic rank two vector bundles $E$ with an integrable connection over a complex projective variety $X$. We prove also the rationality of the…
