A widely believed conjecture predicts that curves of bounded geometric genus lying on a variety of general type form a bounded family. One may even ask whether the canonical degree of a curve $C$ in a variety of general type is bounded from…

We prove a precise version of a general conjecture on the polar degree stated by June Huh. We confirm Huh's conjectural list of all projective hypersurfaces with isolated singularities and polar degree equal to 2.

Geometric Manin's conjecture for complex Fano varieties describes the structure of the moduli space of curves. We propose a version of this conjecture in characteristic $p$ and describe its connection to the Batyrev--Manin--Peyre--Tschinkel…

Chisini's conjecture asserts that for a cuspidal curve $B\subset \mathbb P^2$ a generic morphism $f$ of a smooth projective surface onto $\mathbb P^2$ of degree $\geq 5$, branched along $B$, is unique up to isomorphism. We prove that if…

We partially prove and partially disprove Oka's conjecture on the fundamental group/Alexander polynomial of an irreducible plane sextic. Among other results, we enumerate all irreducible sextics with simple singularities admitting dihedral…

The Bogomolov Conjecture is a finiteness statement about algebraic points of small height on a smooth complete curve defined over a global field. We verify an effective form of the Bogomolov Conjecture for all curves of genus at most 4…

We formulate a tropical analogue of Grothendieck's section conjecture: that for every stable graph G of genus g>2, and every field k, the generic curve with reduction type G over k satisfies the section conjecture. We prove many cases of…

It is known that Plotkin's reduction theorem is very important for his theory of universal algebraic geometry [arXiv:math. GM/0210187], [arXiv:math. GM/0210194]. It turns out that this theorem can be generalized to arbitrary categories…

We propose a natural generalization of a conjecture by Garsia, originally concerning the realization of conformal classes of genus-1 surfaces via embeddings in three-dimensional Euclidean space. This generalized conjecture is formulated…

We prove the dynamical Manin-Mumford conjecture for regular polynomial maps of A^2 and irreducible curves avoiding super-attracting orbits at infinity, over any field of characteristic 0.

We study certain kind of polynomials associated with Lissajous curves, called Chebyshev-Lissajous polynomials. We investigate their irreducibilities over the real numbers and complex numbers, thus comfirming two conjectures proposed by…

In this note, we reduce various conjectures in birational geometry, including Shokurov conjecture on singularities of the base of log Calabi-Yau fibrations of Fano type and boundedness conjecture for rationally connected Calabi-Yau…

Let $f: S\longrightarrow B$ be a non-trivial fibration from a complex projective smooth surface $S$ to a smooth curve $B$ of genus $b$. Let $c_f$ the Clifford index of the generic fibre $F$ of $f$. In [arXiv:1401.7502v4] it is proved that…

We show the existence of toric resolution tower for an irreducible curve singularity which is explicitly described by Tschirnhausen polynomials. We deduce for a smooth affine plane curve from its topology restrictions for its singularity at…

Consider a flat bundle over a complex curve. We prove a conjecture of Fei Yu that the sum of the top k Lyapunov exponents of the flat bundle is always greater or equal to the degree of any rank k holomorphic subbundle. We generalize the…

In this note we give a counterexample to a conjecture proposed by Ciliberto about special linear systems of P^n through multiple base points.

We prove existence of Yamabe metrics on singular manifolds with conical points and conical links of Einstein type that include orbifold structures. We deal with metrics of generic type and derive a counterpart of Aubin's classical result.…

We give some sufficient conditions on complex polynomials P and Q to assure that the algebraic plane curve P(x)-Q(y)=0 has no irreducible component of genus 0 or 1. Moreover, if deg (P)=deg (Q) and if both P, Q satisfy Hypothesis I…

We describe a conjectural stratification of the Brill-Noether variety for general curves of fixed genus and gonality. As evidence for this conjecture, we show that this Brill-Noether variety has at least as many irreducible components as…

We give an elementary proof of the Mazur-Tate-Teitelbaum conjecture for elliptic curves by using Kato's element.
