This paper gives an introduction to Kuga-Satake varieties and discusses some aspects of the Hodge conjecture related to them. Kuga-Satake varieties are abelian varieties associated to certain weight two Hodge structures, for example the…
This article is based on a talk given at the Kinosaki Symposium on Algebraic Geometry in 2015, about a work in progress. We describe a polarization on a derived equivalent abelian variety by using Fourier-Mukai theory. We explicitly…
We show that Gushel-Mukai fivefolds admit a multiplicative Chow-K\"unneth decomposition, in the sense of Shen-Vial. As a consequence, a certain tautological subring of the Chow ring of powers of these varieties injects into cohomology.
We construct new examples of rational Gushel-Mukai fourfolds, giving more evidence for the analog of the Kuznetsov Conjecture for cubic fourfolds: a Gushel--Mukai fourfold is rational if and only if it admits an associated K3 surface.
The authors study in detail new types of varieties with degenerate Gauss maps: varieties with multiple foci and their particular case, the so-called twisted cones. They prove an existence theorem for twisted cones and describe their…
We study a certain class of degenerations of Gushel-Mukai fourfolds as conic bundles, which we call tame degenerations and which are natural if one wants to prove that very general Gushel-Mukai fourfolds are irrational using the…
Gushel-Mukai manifolds are specific families of $n$-dimensional Fano manifolds of Picard rank $1$ and index $n-2$ where $3\leq n \leq 6$. A Gushel-Mukai $n$-fold is either ordinary, i.e. a hyperquadric section of a quintic Del Pezzo…
Koszul algebras with quadratic Groebner bases, called strong Koszul algebras, are studied. We introduce affine algebraic varieties whose points are in one-to-one correspondence with certain strong Koszul algebras and we investigate the…
We express the Masur-Veech volume and the area Siegel-Veech constant of the moduli space $\mathcal{Q}_{g,n}$ of genus $g$ meromorphic quadratic differentials with $n$ simple poles as polynomials in the intersection numbers of $\psi$-classes…
In this work we study the Humbert-Edge's curves of type 5, defined as a complete intersection of four diagonal quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^5$. We characterize them using Kummer surfaces and using the geometry of these surfaces we construct some…
We express the Masur-Veech volume and the area Siegel-Veech constant of the moduli space of meromorphic quadratic differential with simple poles as polynomials in the intersection numbers of psi-classes supported on the boundary cycles of…
We complete Mori's program for Kontsevich's moduli space of degree 2 stable maps to Grassmannian of lines. We describe all birational models in terms of moduli spaces (of curves and sheaves), incidence varieties, and Kirwan's partial…
We use arithmetic and Hodge-theoretic techniques to study pencils of Calabi-Yau varieties realized as highly symmetric hypersurfaces in Grassmannians and their quotients, demonstrating that their geometric properties are distinct from the…
We study smooth projective complex varieties with ample cotangent bundle. Our main result is that in an abelian variety of dimension n, a complete intersection of at least n/2 general hypersurfaces of sufficiently high degrees has ample…
Mustafin varieties are flat degenerations of projective spaces, induced by a choice of an $n-$tuple of lattices in a vector space over a non-archimedean field. They were introduced by Mustafin in the 70s in order to generalise Mumford's…
Let G be a complex reductive algebraic group. We study complete intersections in a spherical homogeneous space G/H defined by a generic collection of sections from G-invariant linear systems. Whenever nonempty, all such complete…
We study moduli spaces of twisted maps to a smooth pair in arbitrary genus, and give geometric explanations for previously known comparisons between orbifold and logarithmic Gromov--Witten invariants. Namely, we study the space of twisted…
As shown in a previous paper, certain naturally arising cones of holomorphic vector bundle sections over the main component $\ov\M_{1,k}^0(\P,d)$ of the moduli space of stable genus-one holomorphic maps into $\P$ have a well-defined euler…
We study the geometry of non-homogeneous horospherical varieties. These have been classified by Pasquier and include the well-known odd symplectic Grassmannians. We focus our study on quantum cohomology, with a view towards Dubrovin's…
We calculate the mixed Hodge numbers of smooth 3-dimensional cluster varieties and show that they are of mixed Tate type. We also study the mixed Hodge structures of the cohomology and intersection cohomology groups of some singular cluster…
