We study canonically polarized Gorenstein $3$-folds with at most terminal singularities and satisfying $K_X^3=\frac 43p_g(X)-\frac {10}3$ and $p_g(X) \ge 7$. We characterize the canonical maps of such $3$-folds, describe a structure theorem…

Let $V$ be a smooth projective 3-fold of general type. Denote by $K^{3}$, a rational number, the self-intersection of the canonical sheaf of any minimal model of $V$. One defines $K^{3}$ as a canonical volume of $V$. The paper is devoted to…

In this paper, we first construct varieties of any dimension $n>2$ fibered over curves with low slopes. These examples violate the conjectural slope inequality of Barja and Stoppino [BS14b]. Led by their conjecture, we focus on finding the…

Let $\Cal E$ be a very ample vector bundle of rank two on a smooth complex projective threefold $X$. An inequality about the third Segre class of $\Cal E$ is provided when $K_X+\det \Cal E$ is nef but not big, and when a suitable positive…

We study Severi type inequalities for big line bundles on irregular varieties via cohomological rank functions. We show that these Severi type inequalities on an irregular variety $X$ are related to some natural defined birational…

For a projective variety $Z$ and for any integer $p$, define the $p$-th N\'eron-Severi group $NS_p(Z)$ of $Z$ as the image of the cycle map $A_{p}(Z)\to H_{2p}(Z; \mathbb{C})$. Now let $X\subset \Ps^{2m+1}$ ($m\geq 1$) be a projective…

Generalize Kobayashi's example for the Noether inequality in dimension three, we provide examples of n-folds of general type with small volumes.

In this paper, we study the moduli spaces of canonical threefolds with any prescribed geometric genus $p_g \ge 5$ which have the smallest possible canonical volume. This minimal volume is equal to the smallest half-integer that is larger…

We develop a new approach towards obtaining lower bounds of the Seshadri constants of ample adjoint divisors on smooth projective varieties $X$ in arbitrary characteristic. Let $x\in X$ be a closed point and $A$ an ample divisor on $X$. If…

We prove the Noether-Lefschetz conjecture on the moduli space of quasi-polarized K3 surfaces. This is deduced as a particular case of a general theorem that states that low degree cohomology classes of arithmetic manifolds of orthogonal…

We prove Grothendieck's Conjecture on Resolution of Singulari-ties for quasi-excellent schemes X of dimension three and of arbitrary characteristic. This applies in particular to X = SpecA, A a reduced complete Noetherian local ring of…

In general, if M is a moduli space of stable sheaves on X, there is a unique alpha in the Brauer group of M such that a pi_M^* alpha^{-1}-twisted universal sheaf exists on X times M. In this paper we study the situation when X and M are K3…

We prove that the degree of a nonconstant morphism from a smooth projective 3-fold $X$ with N\'{e}ron-Severi group ${\bf Z}$ to a smooth 3-dimensional quadric is bounded in terms of numerical invariants of $X$. In the special case where $X$…

Let $X$ be a K3 surface with Picard group $\mathrm{Pic}(X)\cong\mathbb{Z} H$ such that $H^2=2n$. Let $M_{H}(\mathbf{v})$ be the moduli space of Gieseker semistable sheaves on $X$ with Mukai vector $\mathbf{v}$. We say that $\mathbf{v}$…

We show that if $X\subset\mathbb P^N_k$ is a normal variety of dimension $\geq 3$ and $H\subset\mathbb P^N_k$ a very general hypersurface of degree $d=4$ or $\geq 6$, then the restriction map $\mathrm{Cl}(X)\to\mathrm{Cl}(X\cap H)$ is an…

Given a non-compact, simply connected homogeneous three-manifold $X$ and a sequence $\{\Omega_n\}_n$ of isoperimetric domains in $X$ with volumes tending to infinity, we prove that as $n\to \infty $: 1. The radii of the $\Omega_n$ tend to…

For each odd sphere $S^n$ with $n=2m+1\ge 5$, we consider the Sasaki volume functional $\mathrm{Vol}^S(V)=\int_{S^n}\sqrt{\det(I+(\nabla V)^\top(\nabla V))}\,d\mathrm{vol}$ on smooth unit tangent vector fields $V$. Using the Gluck--Ziller…
