Let $S$ be a certain affine algebraic surface over $\mathbb{Q}$ such that it admits a regular map to $\mathbb{A}^2/\mathbb{Q}$. We show that any non-trivial torsion line bundle in the relative Picard group $Pic^0\left(S/\mathbb{A}^2\right)$…

We show that abelian surfaces (and consequently curves of genus 2) over totally real fields are potentially modular. As a consequence, we obtain the expected meromorphic continuation and functional equations of their Hasse--Weil zeta…

Affine rotation surfaces are a generalization of the well-known surfaces of revolution. Affine rotation surfaces arise naturally within the framework of affine differential geometry, a field started by Blaschke in the first decades of the…

We study a class of normal affine surfaces with additive group actions which contains in particular the Danielewski surfaces in $\ba^{3}$ given by the equations $x^{n}z=P(y)$, where $P$ is a nonconstant polynomial with simple roots. We call…

We study spaces of conformal blocks associated with line bundles over elliptic curves, with coefficients in a vertex algebra. For vertex algebras satisfying suitable finiteness and semisimplicity conditions, which are met by all admissible…

We study torsion-free, rank 2 Higgs sheaves on genus one fibered surfaces, (semi)stable with respect to suitable polarizations in the sense of Friedman and O'Grady. We prove that slope-semistability of a Higgs sheaf on the surface implies…

Let \(X\subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1}\) be a smooth cubic hypersurface, and let \(F(X)\) be the variety of lines on \(X\). We prove the surjectivity of the cylinder maps on the Chow groups of \(F(X)\) and \(X\) if \(X\) contains a one-cycle of…

Given a bounded constructible complex of sheaves $\mathcal{F}$ on a complex Abelian variety, we prove an equality relating the cohomology jump loci of $\mathcal{F}$ and its singular support. As an application, we identify two subsets of the…

Given two semistable, non potentially isotrivial elliptic surfaces over a curve $C$ defined over a field of characteristic zero or finitely generated over its prime field, we show that any compatible family of effective isometries of the…

The article starts with some introductory material about resolution graphs of normal surface singularities (definitions, topological/homological properties, etc). We then discuss the case when the normal surface singularity is an N-fold…

Let Z be an algebraic space of finite type over a field, equipped with an action of the multiplicative group $G_m$. In this situation we define and study a certain algebraic space equipped with an unramified morphism to $A^1\times Z\times…

We prove that affine invariant manifolds in strata of flat surfaces are algebraic varieties. The result is deduced from a generalization of a theorem of M\"oller. Namely, we prove that the image of a certain twisted Abel-Jacobi map lands in…

We show that the base spaces of the semiuniversal unfoldings of some weighted homogeneous singularities can be identified with moduli spaces of $A_\infty$-structures on the trivial extension algebras of the endomorphism algebras of the…

We prove a product decomposition of the Zariski closure of the jet lifts of a holomorphic map f from C into a semi-abelian variety A, provided that f is of finite order. On the other hand, by giving an example of such a map f into a three…

We study deformation theory of elliptic fibre bundles over curves in positive characteristics. As applications, we give examples of non-liftable elliptic surfaces in charactertic two and three, which answers a question of Katsura and Ueno.…

This paper surveys and gives a uniform exposition of results contained in papers published by the team of authors. The subject is degenerations of surfaces, especially to unions of planes. More specifically, we deduce some properties of the…

In 1995, Rips and Sela asked if torsionfree hyperbolic groups admit globally stable cylinders. We establish this property for all residually finite hyperbolic groups and curve graphs of finite-type surfaces. These cylinders are fine…

This is an expository article, which contributes to the Proceedings of the conference "Groups of Automorphisms in Birational and Affine Geometry", held in Trento in 2012. We propose that (rational) fibrations on the projective space $\p^n$…

In this paper we study projective flat deformations of projective spaces. We prove that the singular fibers of projective flat deformations of projective spaces appear either in codimension 1 or over singular points of the base. We also…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a Type $\mathcal{A}$ affine surface. We show that $\mathcal{M}$ is linearly strongly projectively flat. We use the quasi-Einstein equation together with the condition that $\mathcal{M}$ is strongly projectively flat to…
