We prove that projectivity is an open condition for deformations of algebraic spaces with rational singularities. V.2: references updated and corrected.
We prove the invariance of plurigenera under smooth projective deformations in full generality. The proof is done by several estimates of singular hermitian metrics in terms of $L^{2}$-extension theorem of holomorphic sections.
We study deformations of complex projective varieties that are homotopically or homologically trivial. We formulate several conjectures and give some examples and partial answers.
The first part of this note contains a review of basic properties of the variety of lines contained in an embedded projective variety and passing through a general point. In particular we provide a detailed proof that for varieties defined…
We prove the invariance of plurigenera under smooth projective deformations of varieties with nonnegative Kodaira dimensions.
This paper answers a question of Demailly whether a smooth family of nonsingular projective varieties admits the deformation invariance of plurigenera affirmatively, and proves this more generally for a flat family of varieties with only…
We consider semi-orthogonal decompositions of derived categories for 3-dimensional projective varieties in the case when the varieties have ordinary double points.
The following conjecture on the deformation invariance of plurigenera is proved. For a smooth projective holomorphic family of compact complex manifolds over the open unit 1-disk such that all the fibers are of general type, every…
In 2001, de Oliveira, Katzarkov, and Ramachandran conjectured that the property of smooth projective varieties having big fundamental groups is stable under small deformations. This conjecture was proven by Beno\^it Claudon in 2010 for…
We study subvarieties of a general projective degree $d$ hypersurface $X_d\subset \mathbf P^n$. Our main theorem, which improves previous results of L. Ein and C. Voisin, implies in particular the following sharp corollary: any subvariety…
We prove general type results for orthogonal modular varieties associated with the moduli of compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds of deformation generalised Kummer type ('deformation generalised Kummer varieties'). In particular, we consider…
We exhibit examples of projective varieties with degenerate Gauss mappings and determine numerical invariants of such varieties. Our examples provide counter-examples to an asserted structure theorem of Griffiths and Harris (Ann. Sci. ENS…
We prove a number of basic vanishing results for modified diagonal classes. We also obtain some sharp results for modified diagonals of curves and abelian varieties, and we prove a conjecture of O'Grady about modified diagonals on double…
We prove an unobstructedness result for deformations of subvarieties constrained by intersections with another, fixed subvariety. We deduce smoothness and expected-dimension results for multiple-point loci of generic projections, mainly…
A projective variety has a large fundamental group if its universal covering has no compact subvarieties. In this paper we investigate whether the property of a variety having a large fundamental groups is stable under K\"{a}hler…
This paper is a continuation of our first paper [10] in which we showed how deformation theory of representation varieties can be used to study finite simple quotients of triangle groups. While in Part I, we mainly used deformations of the…
Nakayama showed that deformation invariance of plurigenera for smooth complex varieties follows from the MMP and Abundance Conjectures. We generalize his result to families of singular pairs over DVRs of positive or mixed characteristic. As…
We give a survey of the incredibly beautiful amount of geometry involved with the problem of realizing a projective variety as hyperplane section of another variety.
We construct smooth projective varieties of general type with the smallest known volume and others with the most known vanishing plurigenera in high dimensions. The optimal volume bound is expected to decay doubly exponentially with…
An invariant kernel for the pluricanonical system of a projective manifold of general type is introduced. Using this kernel we prove that the Yau volume form on a smooth projective variety has seminegative Ricci curvature. As a biproduct we…
