This is an announcement of conjectures and results concerning the generating series of Euler characteristics of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces with simple (Kleinian) singularities. For a quotient surface C^2/G with G a finite…
Every compact Riemann surface $X$ admits a natural projective structure $p_u$ as a consequence of the uniformization theorem. In this work we describe the construction of another natural projective structure on $X$, namely the Hodge…
We study simply-laced simple affine Lie algebra bundles over complex surfaces X. Given any Kodaira curve C in X, we construct such a bundle over X. After deformations, it becomes trivial on every irreducible component of C provided that…
We revisit three results due to Morita expressing certain natural integral cohomology classes on the universal family of Riemann surfaces C_g, coming from the parallel symplectic form on the universal jacobian, in terms of the…
This note describes minimal surfaces $S$ of general type satisfying $p_g\geq 5$ and $K^2=2p_g$. For $p_g\geq 8$ the canonical map of such surfaces is generically finite of degree 2 and the bulk of the paper is a complete characterization of…
We study $GL(2)$-structures on differential manifolds. The structures play a fundamental role in the geometric theory of ordinary differential equations. We prove that any $GL(2)$-structure on an even dimensional manifold give rise to a…
In this paper we study holomorphic foliations on $\mathbb{P}^2$ with only one singular point. If the singularity has algebraic multiplicity one, we prove that the foliation has no invariant algebraic curve. We also present several examples…
We give a new elementary proof of the theorem that a natural map from Milnor's construction $F[S^1]$ to the simplicial group $\mathrm{AP}$ of pure braids is injective. Our approach is group-theoretic and does not rely on Lie algebras.
We show that the Jouanolou foliation of degree 2 on the complex projective plane is structurally stable. Moreover, its Fatou set is a fibration on the Klein quartic with the structure of a smooth fiber bundle in disks. In particular, there…
Denote $\fm_2$ the infinite dimensional $\N$-graded Lie algebra defined by the basis $e_i$ for $i\geq 1$ and by relations $[e_1,e_i]=e_{i+1}$ for all $i\geq 2$, $[e_2,e_j]=e_{j+2}$ for all $j\geq 3$. We compute in this article the bracket…
We describe the topology of singular real algebraic curves in a smooth surface. We enumerate and bound in terms of the degree the number of topological types of singular algebraic curves in the real projective plane.
In this expository article, we illustrate how two independent flat structures on minimal surfaces induce a harmonic function, which captures the uniqueness of Enneper's surface.
For each N>=c_d*n^{2d*(d+1)/(d+2)} we prove the existence of a spherical n-design on S^d consisting of N points, where c_d is a constant depending only on $d$.
Our purpose is to show the existence of a Calabi-Yau structure on the punctured cotangent bundle $T^{*}_{0}(P^2\mathbb{O})$ of the Cayley projective plane $P^{2}\mathbb{O}$ and to construct a Bargmann type transformation from a space of…
Throughout the papers of E.B. Vinberg some non-abelian gradings of simple Lie algebras were introduced and investigated, namely short $SO_3 -$ and $SL_3$ - structures. We study another kind of them -- short $SL_2$ - structures. The main…
We study the nontrivial elements in the Brauer group of a bielliptic surface and show that they can be realized as Azumaya algebras with a simple structure at the generic point of the surface. We go on to study some properties of the…
We prove a structure theorem for the Gromov-Witten invariants of compact Kahler surfaces with geometric genus $p_g>0$. Under the technical assumption that there is a canonical divisor that is a disjoint union of smooth components, the…
In this paper we construct new Beauville surfaces with group either $\PSL(2,p^e)$, or belonging to some other families of finite simple groups of Lie type of low Lie rank, or an alternating group, or a symmetric group, proving a conjecture…
Log del Pezzo surfaces play the role of the opposite of surfaces of general type. We will completely classify all the log del Pezzo surfaces of rank 2 and Cartier index 3 with a unique singularity.
We define and prove uniqueness of a natural homomorphism (called the Orchard morphism) from some groups associated naturally to a finite set $E$ to the group ${\mathcal E}(E)$ of two-partitions of $E$ representing equivalence relations…
