We introduce the notion of a Seshadri stratification on an embedded projective variety. Such a structure enables us to construct a Newton-Okounkov simplicial complex and a flat degeneration of the projective variety into a union of toric…

The theory of Topological Modular Forms suggests the existence of deformation invariants for two-dimensional supersymmetric field theories that are more refined than the standard elliptic genus. In this note we give a physical definition of…

We construct a projective variety with discrete, non-finitely generated automorphism group. As an application, we show that there exists a complex projective variety with infinitely many non-isomorphic real forms.

It has been shown by Hacking and Prokhorov that if the projective surface X with quotient singularities and self-intersection number 9 has a smoothing to the projective plane, then X is the general fiber of a Q-Gorenstein deformation of the…

We study the general fibre of a formal deformation over the formal disk of a projective variety from the view point of abelian and derived categories. The abelian category of coherent sheaves of the general fibre is constructed directly…

Let $X\to\P^n$ be a $2n$-dimensional projective holomorphic symplectic manifold admitting a Lagrangian fibration over $\P^n$. Matsushita proved that the fibration can be deformed in a codimension one family in the moduli space…

We classify minimal projective 3-folds of general type with $p_g = 2$ by studying the birationality of their 6-canonical maps.

In this paper, inspired by work of Fano, Morin and Campana--Flenner, we give a full projective classification of (however singular) varieties of dimension 3 whose general hyperplane sections have negative Kodaira dimension, and we partly…

The distortion varieties of a given projective variety are parametrized by duplicating coordinates and multiplying them with monomials. We study their degrees and defining equations. Exact formulas are obtained for the case of one-parameter…

We provide a partial result on Taylor's modularity conjecture, and several related problems. Namely, we show that the interpretability join of two idempotent varieties that are not congruence modular is not congruence modular either, and we…

This paper states and proves a generalization of the well-known Desargues involution theorem from plane projective geometry.

Euler-symmetric projective varieties are nondegenerate projective varieties admitting many C*-actions of Euler type. They are quasi-homogeneous and uniquely determined by their fundamental forms at a general point. We show that…

We prove that the Tate conjecture for divisors is ''generically true'' for mod p reductions of complex projective varieties with $h^{2, 0} = 1$, under a mild assumption on moduli. By refining this general result, we establish a new case of…

We investigate when the tangent bundle of a projective manifold has a non-trivial first order (or positive-dimensional) deformation. This leads to a new conjectural characterization of the complex projective space.

Let C_1 and C_2 be two degenerations of genus g curves. We prove that if two degenerations defines the same conjugacy classes in the mapping class group, they are equivalent under analytic deformations.

This note is the sequel of "Geometric structures as variational objects, I." It generalizes the main result and perspectives of that work to a class of geometric structures that includes integrable almost-complex structures.

We introduce the notions of mixed resolutions and simplicial sections, and prove a theorem relating them. This result is used (in another paper) to study deformation quantization in algebraic geometry.

We study the behavior of irregular fibrations of a variety under derived equivalence of its bounded derived category. In particular we prove the derived invariance of the existence of an irregular fibration over a variety of general type,…

This is a remastered and expanded version of a an earlier preprint of the author, in which we give a fully algebraic proof of an important theorem of Demailly, stating the existence of many Green-Griffiths jet differentials on a complex…

In this paper we recall the construction and basic properties of complex Shimura varieties and show that these properties actually characterize them. This characterization immediately implies the explicit form of Kazhdan's theorem on the…
