We prove a part of Shokurov's conjecture on characterization of toric varieties modulo the minimal model program and adjunction conjecture.

We prove existence of flips for log canonical foliated pairs of rank one on a Q-factorial projective klt threefold. This, in particular, provides a proof of the existence of a minimal model for a rank one foliation on a threefold for a…

In a previous work, we described the Minimal Model Program in the family of $\Qbb$-Gorenstein projective horospherical varieties, by studying certain continuous changes of moment polytopes of polarized horospherical varieties. Here, we…

In this article we establish the following results: Let $(X, B)$ be a dlt pair, where $X$ is a $\mathbb Q$-factorial K\"ahler $4$-fold -- (i) if $X$ is compact and $K_X+B\sim_{\mathbb Q} D\geq 0$ for some effective $\mathbb Q$-divisor, then…

Partial spread is important in finite geometry and can be used to construct linear codes. From the results in (Designs, Codes and Cryptography 90:1-15, 2022) by Xia Li, Qin Yue and Deng Tang, we know that if the number of the elements in a…

We show a special case of Steenbrink vanishing for rational singularities in positive characteristic. As a consequence, we prove that strongly $F$-regular threefolds and klt threefolds in characteristic $p>41$ satisfy Steenbrink vanishing.

This article presents a 3-local characterisation of the sporadic simple group McL and its automorphism group. The theorem is underpinned by a further identification theorem the proof of which is character theoretic. The main theorem is…

A minimal model of polychronous groups in neural networks is presented. The model is computationally efficient and allows the study of polychronous groups independent of specific neuron models. Computational experiments were performed with…

An important local vanishing theorem for the minimal model program is the fact that klt singularities in characteristic zero are Cohen-Macaulay. In contrast, even in the narrow setting of terminal singularities of dimension 3, we show that…

We prove a model theoretic Baire category theorem for $\tilde\tau_{low}^f$-sets in a countable simple theory in which the extension property is first-order and show some of its applications. We also prove a trichotomy for minimal types in…

We prove the existence of global minimal models for rational morphisms $\phi:{\mathbb P}^N\rightarrow{\mathbb P}^N$ of projective space defined over the field of fractions of a principal ideal domain.

We improve on the result of Hacon and Witaszek by showing that the MMP for semi-stable fourfolds in mixed characteristic terminates in several new situations. In particular, we show the validity of the MMP for strictly semi-stable fourfolds…

We show that many classical results of the minimal model programme do not hold over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two. Indeed, we construct a three dimensional plt pair whose codimension one part is not normal, a three…

We prove the existence of a finite set of moves sufficient to relate any two representations of the same 3-manifold as a 4-fold simple branched covering of S^3. We also prove a stabilization result: after adding a fifth trivial sheet two…

We prove a relative Kawamata Viehweg vanishing type theorem for birational morphisms. We use this to prove a Grauert Riemenschneider theorem over log canonical threefolds without zero dimensional log canonical centers, in residue…

In a previous article (a joint work with J. Manoharmayum) the modularity of a large class of rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds was established. To make that result more explicit, we recall (and re-prove) a result of Serre giving a bound for the…

We classify primitive Fano threefolds in positive characteristic whose Picard numbers are at least two. We also classify Fano theefolds of Picard rank two.

We prove metric rigidity for complete manifolds supporting solutions of certain second order differential systems, thus extending classical works on a characterization of space-forms. In the route, we also discover new characterizations of…

Let $k\leq n$ be two positive integers and $q$ a prime power. The basic question in minimal linear codes is to determine if there exists an $[n,k]_q$ minimal linear code. The first objective of this paper is to present a new sufficient and…

This unpublished note is an alternate, shorter (and hopefully more readable) proof of the decidability of all minimal models. The decidability follows from a proof of the existence of a cellular term in each observational equivalence class…
