Suppose that $X$ is a projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$. Further suppose that $L$ is an ample (or more generally in some sense positive) divisor. We study a natural linear system in $|K_X + L|$.…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a projective, $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial log canonical pair and let $L$ be a pseudoeffective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor on $X$ such that $K_X + \Delta + L$ is pseudoeffective. Is there an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $M$ on $X$…

Using inversion of adjunction, we deduce from Nadel's theorem a vanishing property for ideals sheaves on projective varieties, a special case of which recovers a result due to Bertram--Ein--Lazarsfeld. This enables us to generalize to a…

We generalize the logarithmic decomposition theorem of Deligne-Illusie to a filtered version. There are two applications. The easier one provides a mod $p$ proof for a vanishing theorem in characteristic zero. The deeper one gives rise to a…

In this paper, we establish a vanishing theorem of Nadel type for the Witt multiplier ideals on threefolds over perfect fields of characteristic larger than five. As an application, if a projective normal threefold over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is…

In 1995, Koll\'ar conjectured that a smooth complex projective $n$-fold $X$ with generically large fundamental group has Euler characteristic $\chi(X, K_X)\geq 0$. In this paper, we prove the conjecture assuming $X$ has linear fundamental…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H\subseteq G$ be its subgroup. We prove that if a smooth del Pezzo surface over an algebraically closed field is $H$-birationally rigid then it is also $G$-birationally rigid, answering a geometric version of…

A normal projective non-Gorenstein log-terminal surface $S$ is called a log del Pezzo surface of index three if the three-times of the anti-canonical divisor $-3K_S$ is an ample Cartier divisor. We classify all of the log del Pezzo surfaces…

We show vanishing theorems of $L^2$-cohomology groups of Kodaira-Nakano type on complete Hessian manifolds. We obtain further vanishing theorems of $L^2$-cohomology groups $L^2H^{p,q}(\Omega)$ on a regular convex cone $\Omega$ with the…

We give a new proof that every holomorphic one-form on a smooth complex projective variety of general type must vanish at some point, first proven by Popa and Schnell using generic vanishing theorems for Hodge modules. Our proof relies on…

Based on the celebrated result on zeros of holomorphic 1-forms on complex varieties of general type by Popa and Schnell, we study holomorphic 1-forms on $n$-dimensional varieties of Kodaira dimension $n-1$. We show that a complex minimal…

We study effective divisors $D$ on surfaces with $H^0(\mathcal O_D)=k$ and $H^1(\mathcal O_D)=H^0(\mathcal O_D(D))=0$. We give a numerical criterion for such divisors, following a general investigation of negativity, rigidity and…

We classify log-canonical pairs $(X, \Delta)$ of dimension two with $K_X+\Delta$ an ample Cartier divisor with $(K_X+\Delta)^2=1$, giving some applications to stable surfaces with $K^2=1$. A rough classification is also given in the case…

We first introduce a weak type of Zariski decomposition in higher dimensions: an $\R$-Cartier divisor has a weak Zariski decomposition if birationally and in a numerical sense it can be written as the sum of a nef and an effective…

Let X be a del Pezzo surface of degree one over an algebraically closed field (of any characteristic), and let Cox(X) be its total coordinate ring. We prove the missing case of a conjecture of Batyrev and Popov, which states that Cox(X) is…

We show that over any algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exists a smooth rational surface which violates Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing.

Let $F\in\mathbb{C}[x,y,z]$ be a constant-degree polynomial,and let $A,B,C\subset\mathbb C$ be finite sets of size $n$. We show that $F$ vanishes on at most $O(n^{11/6})$ points of the Cartesian product $A\times B\times C$, unless $F$ has a…

We consider del Pezzo surfaces $X$ with du Val singularities. Assume that $X$ has a $-K_X$-polar cylinder and $\deg X=1$. Let $H$ be an ample divisor. We'll prove that $X$ has a $H$-polar cylinder.

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…

We generalize the Generic Vanishing theorem by Hacon and Patakfalvi in the spirit of Pareschi and Popa. We give several examples illustrating the pathologies appearing in the positive characteristic setting.
