We use a Koszul-type resolution to prove a weak version of Bott's vanishing theorem for smooth hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$ and use this result to prove a vanishing theorem for Hodge ideals associated with an effective Cartier divisor on…

A smooth scheme X over a field k of positive characteristic is said to be strongly liftable, if X and all prime divisors on X can be lifted simultaneously over W_2(k). In this paper, we give some concrete examples and properties of strongly…

Let X be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We prove that if D is a pseudo-effective R-divisor on X which is not numerically equivalent to the negative part in its divisorial Zariski…

Let $X$ be a complete normal variety, $B$ an effective $\mathbb{R}$-divisor on $X$, and $D$ a Cartier divisor on $X$. Assume that the pair $(X, B)$ is log terminal. We consider the problem whether $H^0(X, D) \ne 0$ and obtain some results…

In this article we construct a Koszul-type resolution of the p-th exterior power of the sheaf of holomorphic differential forms on smooth toric varieties and use this to prove a Nadel-type vanishing theorem for Hodge ideals associated to…

Let k be an infinite perfect field of positive characteristic p and assume that strong resolution of singularities holds over k. We prove that, if X is a d-dimensional noetherian scheme whose underlying reduced scheme is essentially of…

We classify all log del Pezzo surfaces of Picard number one defined over algebraically closed fields of characteristic different from two and three. We also discuss some consequences of the classification. For example, we show that log del…

Let $X$ be a smooth variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic, ${\rm D}_X$ the sheaf of PD-differential operators, and ${\bar D}_X$ its central reduction, the sheaf of small differential operators. In this…

We study how the geometry of a projective variety $X$ is reflected in the positivity properties of the diagonal $\Delta_X$ considered as a cycle on $X \times X$. We analyze when the diagonal is big, when it is nef, and when it is rigid. In…

We investigate the notion of the $p$-divisor for foliations on a smooth algebraic surface defined over a field of positive characteristic $p$ and we study some of their properties. We present a structure theorem for the $p$-divisor of…

We consider Calabi-Yau threefolds $X$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ that are not liftable to characteristic $0$ or liftable ones with $p=2$. It is unknown whether Kodaira vanishing holds for these varieties.…

We give counterexamples to the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem on ruled surfaces in positive characteristic, and prove that if there is a counterexample to the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem on a geometrically ruled surface f:X-->C,…

We explicitly construct a del Pezzo surface $X$ of degree 4 over a field $k$ such that $\operatorname{H}^1(k,\operatorname{Pic}\overline X)$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{ZZ}/2\mathbb{Z}$ while $\operatorname{Br} X/\operatorname{Br} k$ is…

Given an embedded smooth projective variety Y in CP^n, we show how the existence of a hypersurface with high multiplicity along Y, but of relatively low degree and log canonical near Y implies vanishing of higher cohomology for certain…

Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a log pair in characteristic $p>0$ and $P$ be a (not necessarily closed) point of $X$. We show that there exists a constant $\delta>0$ such that $\tau(X, \Delta)_P= \tau(X, \Delta + D)_P$ for each effective…

We show that any pseudo-effective divisor on a normal surface decomposes uniquely into its "integral positive" part and "integral negative" part, which is an integral analog of Zariski decompositions. By using this decomposition, we give…

We generalize the construction of Raynaud of smooth projective surfaces of general type in positive characteristic that violate the Kodaira vanishing theorem. This corrects an earlier paper of the same purpose. These examples are smooth…

We present counterexamples to Fujita's conjecture in positive characteristics. Precisely, we show that over any algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ and for any positive integer $m$, there exists a smooth projective…

A smooth scheme X over a field k of positive characteristic is said to be strongly liftable, if X and all prime divisors on X can be lifted simultaneously over W_2(k). In this paper, first we prove that smooth toric varieties are strongly…

We consider a complete nonsingular variety $X$ over $\bC$, having a normal crossing divisor $D$ such that the associated logarithmic tangent bundle is generated by its global sections. We show that $H^i\big(X, L^{-1} \otimes \Omega_X^j(\log…
