We develop an algorithm to count the number of virtual Fourier-Mukai partners for a given cubic fourfold, with initial input the primitive algebraic lattice and transcendental Hodge structure. Under some mild assumptions, we prove that our…

We construct wonderful compactifications of the spaces of linear maps, and symmetric linear maps of a given rank as blow-ups of secant varieties of Segre and Veronese varieties. Furthermore, we investigate their birational geometry and…

We give a complete list of square-free Cremona maps with at most six variables, up to equivalence classes. We also build an algorithm to count monomial square-free Cremona transformations. Using this algorithm, we obtain a complete list of…

We introduce equivariant versions of uniform rationality: given an algebraic group G, a G-variety is called G-uniformly rational (resp. G-linearly uniformly rational) if every point has a G-invariant open neighborhood equivariantly…

We report on our project to construct non-singular cubic surfaces over $\bbQ$ with a rational line. Our method is to start with degree 4 Del Pezzo surfaces in diagonal form. For these, we develop an explicit version of Galois descent.

We obtain an alternate proof of an injectivity result by Beauville for a map from the moduli space of quartic del Pezzo surfaces to the set of conjugacy classes of certain subgroups of the Cremona group. This amounts to showing that a…

This article gives the proof of results announced in [J. Blanc, Finite Abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane, C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, S\'er. I 344 (2007), 21-26.] and some description of automorphisms of rational surfaces.…

It is proved that the number of deformation types of complex structures on a fixed oriented smooth four-manifold can be arbitrarily large. The considered examples are locally simple abelian covers of rational surfaces.

Refereed version to appear in Michigan Mathematical Journal. A mistake in the last section of the previous version has been corrected. The new title exactly describes the main result obtained. Building on the geometry of cubic surfaces and…

In this paper we generalize some classical birational transformations to the non-commutative case. In particular we show that 3-dimensional quadratic Sklyanin algebras (non-commutative projective planes) and 3-dimensional cubic Sklyanin…

Quaternionic analysis, which describes conformal maps from Riemann surfaces into $\mathbb{R}^3$ or $\mathbb{R}^4$, is extended to weakly conformal maps. As a consequence we present a new proof that on any compact Riemann surface $X$ the…

We prove analogues of several well-known results concerning rational morphisms between quadrics for the class of so-called quasilinear $p$-hypersurfaces. These hypersurfaces are nowhere smooth over the base field, so many of the geometric…

Based on projective representations of smooth Deligne cohomology groups, we introduce an analogue of the space of conformal blocks to compact oriented (4k+2)-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with boundary. For the standard…

We show that a real rational (over $\C$) surfaces are quasi-simple, i.e., that such a surface is determined up to deformation in the class of real surfaces by the topological type of its real structure.

We generalize results by Wakabayashi and Orevkov about rational cuspidal curves on the projective plane to that on $\mathbb{Q}$-homology projective planes. It turns out that the result is exactly the same as the projective plane case under…

We extend fundamental inequalities related to the canonical map of surfaces of general type to positive characteristic. Next, we classify surfaces on the Noether lines, i.e., even and odd Horikawa surfaces, in positive characteristic. We…

For every field $k$ of characteristic zero, we determine the groups that act as automorphisms on a smooth cubic surface over $k$. We also determine the groups that act on $k$-rational, stably $k$-rational, or $k$-unirational smooth cubic…

We apply the methods of C{\u{a}}ld{\u{a}}raru to construct a twisted Fourier-Mukai transform between a pair of holomorphic symplectic four-folds. More precisely, we obtain an equivalence between the derived category of coherent sheaves on a…

In arXiv:math/0311139, as evidence for his conjecture in birational log geometry, Kawamata constructed a family of derived equivalences between toric orbifolds. In arXiv:0911.4711, we showed that the derived category of a toric orbifold is…

A famous result of B. Crauder and S. Katz (1989) concerns the classification of special Cremona transformations whose base locus has dimension at most two. Furthermore, they also proved that a special Cremona transformation with base locus…
