We prove an integrality property of the Chern character with values in Chow groups. As a consequence we obtain, for a prime number p, a construction of the p-1 first homological Steenrod operations on Chow groups modulo p and p-primary…
We provide a characterization of quotients of three-dimensional complex tori by finite groups that act freely in codimension one via a vanishing condition on the first and second orbifold Chern class. We also treat the case of actions free…
We prove a numerical characterization of $\mathbb{P}^n$ for varieties with at worst isolated local complete intersection quotient singularities. In dimension three, we prove such a numerical characterization of $\mathbb{P}^3$ for normal…
This paper aims to develop a theory of projective and affine structures on higher-dimensional varieties in positive characteristic. This theory deals with Frobenius-projective and Frobenius-affine structures, which have been previously…
Let $X$ be a Fano manifold of Picard number one. We establish a lower bound for the second Chern class of $X$ in terms of its index and degree. As an application, if $Y$ is a $n$-dimensional Fano manifold with $-K_Y=(n-3)H$ for some ample…
Given a hypersurface in a complex projective space, we prove that the multidegrees of its toric polar map agree, up to sign, with the coefficients of the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a distinguished open set, namely the complement of…
We employ combinatorial techniques to present an explicit formula for the coefficients in front of Chern classes involving in the Hattori-Stong integrability conditions. We also give an evenness condition for the signature of stably…
We classify projective toric manifolds whose dual variety is not a hypersurface in the dual projective space. Under the standard dictionary between toric geometry and convex geometry, they correspond to certain convex Delzant integer…
We propose in this paper the construction of non-commutative Chern characters of the C*-algebras of spheres and quantum spheres. The final computation gives us a clear relation with the ordinary Z/(2)-graded Chern characters of tori or…
We construct a quasi-inverse of the cochain map on the negative cyclic complexes of the second kind induced from the quasi-Yoneda embedding on a curved dg algebra. This gives an explicit formula for the Chern character of a perfect module.
Projective structures on compact real manifolds are classical objects in real differential geometry. Complex manifolds with a holomorphic projective structure on the other hand form a special class as soon as the dimension is greater than…
The Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau inequality asserts that the Chern numbers of a surface X of general type in characteristic 0 satisfy the inequality c_1^2 <= 3c_2, a consequence of which is (K_X^2)/chi(O_X) <= 9. This inequality fails in…
The Chern character of a complex vector bundle is most conveniently defined as the exponential of a curvature of a connection. It is well known that its cohomology class does not depend on the particular connection chosen. It has been shown…
The theory of the higher Chern numbers in the presence of strong disorder is developed. Sharp quantization and homotopy invariance conditions are provided. The relevance of the result to the field of strongly disordered topological…
A Sasakian structure on a manifold is called {\it positive} if its basic first Chern class can be represented by a positive (1,1)-form with respect to its transverse holomorphic CR-structure. We prove a theorem that says that every positive…
In this work, we show that along a particular choice of Hermitian curvature flow, the non-positivity of Chern-Ricci curvature will be preserved if the initial metric has non-positive bisectional curvature. As an application, we show that…
We classify the non-toric, $\mathbb Q$-factorial, Gorenstein, log terminal Fano threefolds of Picard number one that admit an effective action of a two-dimensional algebraic torus.
In this short note we give a characterization of smooth projective varieties of Picard number one that are separably uniruled but not separably rationally connected. We also give a sufficient condition involving the torsion order and the…
The present work is a user's guide to the results of a previous paper by the second and third authors, where a description of the space of characters of a quasi-projective variety was given in terms of global quotient orbifold pencils.…
In this paper, we investigate the noncompact prescribed Chern scalar curvature problem which reduces to solve a Kazdan-Warner type equation on noncompact non-K\"{a}hler manifolds. By introducing an analytic condition on noncompact…
