Let $(P\in X,\Delta)$ be a three dimensional log canonical pair such that $\Delta$ has only standard coefficients and $P$ is a center of log canonical singularities for $(X,\Delta)$. Then we get an effective bound of the indices of these…

Let M be a two cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold and let M(r) be the result of r Dehn filling of a fixed cusp of M. We study canonical components of the SL(2,C) character varieties of M(r). We show that the gonality of these sets is bounded,…

Let STS(n) denote the number of Steiner triple systems on n vertices, and let F(n) denote the number of 1-factorizations of the complete graph on n vertices. We prove the following upper bound. STS(n) <= ((1 + o(1)) (n/e^2))^(n^2/6) F(n) <=…

Pairwise comparison matrices often exhibit inconsistency, therefore many indices have been suggested to measure their deviation from a consistent matrix. A set of axioms has been proposed recently that is required to be satisfied by any…

We show for $A,B\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ of equal volume and $t\in (0,1/2]$ that if $|tA+(1-t)B|< (1+t^d)|A|$, then (up to translation) $|\text{co}(A\cup B)|/|A|$ is bounded. This establishes the sharp threshold for Figalli and Jerison's…

In this article we show that if $(X, \Delta)$ is a log canonical compact K\"ahler threefold pair such that $K_X+\Delta$ is nef and the numerical dimension $\nu(X, K_X+\Delta)=2$, then $K_X+\Delta$ is semi-ample. This result combined with…

We determine under which conditions certain natural models of random constraint satisfaction problems have sharp thresholds of satisfiability. These models include graph and hypergraph homomorphism, the $(d,k,t)$-model, and binary…

Let $m(n, k)$ be the maximum number of prime implicants that any $k$-CNF on n variables can have. We show that $3^{n/3} \le m(n,2) \le (1+o(1))3^{n/3}$.

We give an effective upper bound for the index of klt complements on toric Fano varieties.

We prove several congruences for trinomial coefficients.

Microcanonical inflection-point analysis (MIPA) identifies third-order transitions from derivatives of the microcanonical entropy, but whether such transitions admit a direct canonical formulation has remained unclear. Here we establish a…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ is called a $t$-intersecting family if $|F\cap G| \geq t$ for any two members $F, G \in \mathcal{F}$ and for some positive integer $t$. If $t=1$, then we call the family $\mathcal{F}$…

Let $X$ be a $\mathbb Q$-factorial weak Fano $3$-fold with at worst isolated canonical singularities. We show that the $\mathbb Q$-Fano index of $X$ is at most $61$.

We show that terminal 3-fold divisorial contraction to a point of index $>1$ with non-minimal discrepancy may be factored into a sequence of flips, flops and divisorial contractions to a point with minimal discrepancies.

A powerful tool of investigation of Fano varieties is provided by exceptional collections in their derived categories. Proving the fullness of such a collection is generally a nontrvial problem, usually solved on a case-by-case basis, with…

This paper contributes to the theory of large cardinals beyond the Kunen inconsistency, or choiceless large cardinal axioms, in the context where the Axiom of Choice is not assumed. The first part of the paper investigates a periodicity…

Given a graded sequence of ideals (a_m) on a smooth variety $X$ having finite log canonical threshold, suppose that for every m we have a divisor E_m over X that computes the log canonical threshold of a_m, and such that the log…

We prove that the log canonical ring of a klt pair of dimension $3$ with $\mathbb{Q}$-boundary over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>5$ is finitely generated. In the process we prove log abundance for such pairs in the…

Let $X$ be a Gorenstein minimal projective $3$-fold with at worst locally factorial terminal singularities. Suppose that the canonical map is generically finite onto its image. C. Hacon showed that the canonical degree is universally…

In this thesis, I determine a bound on the defect of terminal Gorenstein quartic 3-folds. More generally, I study the defect of terminal Gorenstein Fano 3-folds of Picard rank 1 and genus at least 3. I state a geometric "motivation" of non…
