We classify all minimal models X of dimension n, Kodaira dimension n-1 and with vanishing Chern number $c_1^{n-2}c_2(X)=0$. This solves a problem of Koll\'ar. Completing previous work of Koll\'ar and Grassi, we also show that there is a…

Let $Z$ be a closed subscheme of a smooth complex projective variety $Y\subseteq \Ps^N$, with $\dim\,Y=2r+1\geq 3$. We describe the intermediate N\'eron-Severi group (i.e. the image of the cycle map $A_r(X)\to H_{2r}(X;\mathbb{Z})$) of a…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety equipped with an action of a semisimple algebraic group $G$, and assume that $X$ contains a unique closed orbit. Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ and let $E$ be a $B$-equivariant vector bundle on…

We develop a Hodge theoretic invariant for families of projective manifolds that measures the potential failure of an Arakelov-type inequality in higher dimensions, one that naturally generalizes the classical Arakelov inequality over…

Let S be a minimal complex surface of general type with $q(S)=0$. We prove the following statements concerning the algebraic fundamental group: I) Assume that K^2_S\leq 3\chi(S). Then S has an irregular etale cover if and only if S has a…

Let $X$ be a nonsingular projective $n$-fold $(n\ge 2)$ of Fano or of general type with ample canonical bundle $K_X$ over an algebraic closed field $\kappa$ of any characteristic. We produce a new method to give a bunch of inequalities in…

We study the cohomology of a general stable sheaf on an abelian surface. We say that a moduli space satisfies weak Brill-Noether if the general sheaf has at most one non-zero cohomology group. Let $(X,H)$ be a polarized abelian surface and…

Our main result gives an adjunction inequality for embedded surfaces in certain $4$-manifolds with contact boundary under a non-vanishing assumption on the Bauer--Furuta type invariants. Using this, we give infinitely many knots in $S^3$…

We first prove an isomorphism between the moduli space of smooth cubic threefolds and the moduli space of hyperkaehler fourfolds of K3^{[2]}-type with a non-symplectic automorphism of order three, whose invariant lattice has rank one and is…

Let $V_{10}$ be a 10-dimensional complex vector space and let $\sigma\in\bigwedge^3V_{10}^\vee$ be a non-zero alternating 3-form. One can define several associated degeneracy loci: the Debarre-Voisin variety…

In this paper, we first prove the optimal lower bound for Alexandrov angle rigidity of torsion elliptic isometries on any complete CAT($\kappa$) space, which, when attained, leads to an embedded 2-flat in the tangent cone invariant under…

We study the cohomology groups $H^1(X,\Theta_X(-mK_X))$, for $m\geq1$, where $X$ is a smooth minimal complex surface of general type, $\Theta_X$ its holomorphic tangent bundle, and $K_X$ its canonical divisor. One of the main results is a…

We present a new optimal systolic inequality for a closed Riemannian manifold X, which generalizes a number of earlier inequalities, including that of C. Loewner. We characterize the boundary case of equality in terms of the geometry of the…

We prove a sharp Sobolev inequality on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Moreover, we prove a Michael-Simon inequality for submanifolds in manifolds with nonnegative sectional curvature. Both inequalities depend on the asymptotic…

By using optimal transport theory, we prove a sharp dimension-free isoperimetric inequality involving the volume entropy, in metric measure spaces with non-negative Ricci curvature in the sense of Lott--Sturm--Villani. We show that this…

We associate to each toric vector bundle on a toric variety X(Delta) a "branched cover" of the fan Delta together with a piecewise-linear function on the branched cover. This construction generalizes the usual correspondence between toric…

Let $\varphi$ be a quasi-psh function on a complex manifold $X$ and let $S\subset X$ be a complex submanifold. Then the multiplier ideal sheaves $\mathcal{I}(\varphi|_S)\subset\mathcal{I}(\varphi)|_{S}$ and the complex singularity exponents…

In this article, under mild constraints on the sectional curvature, we exploit a divergence formula for symmetric endomorphisms to deduce a general Poincar\'e type inequality. We apply such inequality to higher-order mean curvature of…

We study the Sobolev inequality and the existence of its extremal functions in the setting of homogeneous H\"{o}rmander vector fields. A principal result establishes a mutual inclusion between the set of volume growth rates of subunit balls…

We show that, for a $\mathbb Q$-Fano threefold $X$ of Fano index 7, the inequality $\dim |-K_X| \ge 15$ implies that $X$ is isomorphic to one of the following varieties $\mathbb P (1^2,2,3)$, $X_6 \subset \mathbb P (1,2^2,3,5)$ or $X_6…
