We prove that for any smooth projective variety $X$ of dimension $\geq 3$, there exists an integer $g_0=g_0(X)$, such that for any integer $g \geq g_0$, there exists a smooth curve $C$ in $X$ with $g(C)=g$.

In two recent papers, we described some Siegel modular threefolds which admit a weak Calabi--Yau model. Not all of them admit a {\it projective} model. The purpose of this paper is to exhibit criterions for the projectivity, to treat…

We classify all irreducible projective threefolds $X$ which are $k$-defective, i.e. some $k$-secant variety of $X$ has dimension less than the expected value. This results extends the classical Scorza's classification of the case $k=1$.

In this manuscript we sharpen the lower bound on the codimension of the irreducible components of the Noether-Lefschetz locus of surfaces in projective toric threefolds given in [BG17]. We also provide a simpler proof of Theorem 4.11 in…

We study degenerations of complex projective spaces $\mathbb P^n$ into normal projective klt varieties $X$. If the tangent sheaf of $X$ is semi-stable, we show that $X$ itself is a projective space. If $X$ is a threefold with canonical…

We show that, for a $\mathbb Q$-Fano threefold $X$ of Fano index 7, the inequality $\dim |-K_X| \ge 15$ implies that $X$ is isomorphic to one of the following varieties $\mathbb P (1^2,2,3)$, $X_6 \subset \mathbb P (1,2^2,3,5)$ or $X_6…

For smooth projective 3-folds of general type, we prove that the relative canonical stability $\mu_s(3)\leq 8$. This is induced from our improved result of Koll\'ar: the m-canonical map of a smooth projective 3-fold of general type is…

For nonsingular projective 3-folds $X$ (of general type) whose geometric genus $p_g=h^0(X, K_X)$ is $\geq 5$, the birationality of the fourth canonical map $\varphi_{4,X}=\Phi_{|4K_X|}$ was characterized by D.-Q. Zhang and the first author…

We prove that small deformations of a projective variety of general type are also projective varieties of general type, with the same plurigenera. Version 2: small changes in first half. Improved version of the second half is now a separate…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension three and let $L$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. In this paper, we provide a lower bound of the dimension of the global sections of $m(K_{X}+L)$ under the assumption that…

Consider a component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point corresponds to a degree d genus g smooth irreducible and nondegenerate curve in a projective variety X. We give lower bounds for the dimension of such a component when X is P^3,…

We prove that every compact K\"ahler threefold has arbitrarily small deformations to some projective manifolds, thereby solving the Kodaira problem in dimension 3.

We prove that for a smooth projective irregular $3$-fold $X$ with $K_X\equiv 0$ and a nef and big divisor $L$ on $X$, $|mL+P|$ gives a birational map for all $m\geq 3$ and all $P\in \text{Pic}^0(X)$. We also use the same method to deal with…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^r$ be smooth and irreducible and for $k \ge 0$ let $\nu_k(X)$ (resp., $\delta_k(X)$) be the $k$-th contact (resp., the $k$-th secant) defect of $X$. For all $k \ge 0$ we have the inequality $\nu_k(X) \ge…

We determine the minimal possible volume of a projective log canonical surface of general type with prescribed positive geometric genus. As applications, we provide effecitive Noether type inequalities for log canonical threefolds and…

Let $X$ be a compact K{\"a}hler manifold of dimension three. We prove that there exists a projective manifold $Y$ such that $\pi\_1(X)\simeq \pi\_1(Y)$. We also prove the bimeromorphic existence of algebraic approximations for compact…

We prove that for every positive integer $m\geq 18(2^{9}\cdot 3^{7})!$ and every smooth projective 3-fold of general type X defined over complex numbers, $\mid mK_{X}\mid$ gives a birational rational map from X into a projective space.

For nonsingular projective 4-folds V of general type with plurigenus $P_{m_0}(V) \geq 2$ for some positive integer $m_0$, we show that $\varphi_{m}$ is birational onto its image for all integers $m \geq 76m_0+77$ and the canonical volume…

Nguyen has shown that on averaging over $a=1,...,q$ the 3-fold divisor function has exponent of distribution 2/3, following \cite {banks}. We follow [2] which leads to stronger bounds.

We show that for every smooth generic projective hypersurface $X\subset\mathbb P^{n+1}$, there exists a proper subvariety $Y\subsetneq X$ such that $\operatorname{codim}_X Y\ge 2$ and for every non constant holomorphic entire map…
