Let $X=Spec{A}$ denote a regular affine scheme, over a field $k$, with $1/2\in k$ and $\dim X=d$. Let $P$ denote a projective $A$-module of rank $n\geq 2$. Let $\pi_0\left({\mathcal LO}(P)\right)$ denote the (Nori) Homotopy Obstruction set,…

We study cohomological obstructions to the existence of global conserved quantities. In particular, we show that, if a given local variational problem is supposed to admit global solutions, certain cohomology classes cannot appear as…

In this paper, we investigate the explicit birational geometry for projective $\epsilon$-lc varieties polarised by nef and big Weil divisors. We show that if $X$ is a projective $\epsilon$-lc variety, $H$ is a nef and big Weil divisor with…

This note gives an explicit example of transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation. It has two features which the only previously known example of such obstruction did not have: the class in the Brauer group which is…

Each Scorza variety and its secant varieties in the ambient projective space are identified, in the realm of singular Poisson-Kaehler geometry, in terms of projectivizations of holomorphic nilpotent orbits in suitable Lie algebras of…

We classify reflective automorphic products of singular weight under certain regularity assumptions. Using obstruction theory we show that there are exactly 11 such functions. They are naturally related to certain conjugacy classes in…

For a partition $lambda=\{lambda_1 \geq \lambda_2 \geq \lambda_3 \}$ of non-negative integers, we calculate the Euler characteristic of the local system $V_{\lambda}$ on the moduli space of genus 3 hyperelliptic curves using a suitable…

Euler-symmetric projective varieties, introduced by Baohua Fu and Jun-Muk Hwang in 2020, are nondegenerate projective varieties admitting many $\mathbb{C}^{\times}$-actions of Euler type. They are quasi-homogeneous and uniquely determined…

We derive a general formula for the Euler characteristic of a fibration of projective hypersurfaces in terms of invariants of an arbitrary base variety. When the general fiber is an elliptic curve, such formulas have appeared in the physics…

We introduce notions of finiteness obstruction, Euler characteristic, L^2-Euler characteristic, and M\"obius inversion for wide classes of categories. The finiteness obstruction of a category Gamma of type (FP) is a class in the projective…

We construct highly singular projective curves and surfaces defined by invariants of primitive complex reflection groups.

We study the problem of classifying the irreducible projective varieties $X$ of dimension $n\ge 2$ in $\Bbb P^N$ which contain an algebraic family $\Cal F$ of dimension $h+1$ ($h<n$) of subvarieties $Y$ of dimension $n-h$, each one…

We study the intersection theory of complex Lagrangian subvarieties inside holomorphic symplectic manifolds. In particular, we study their behaviour under Mukai flops and give a rigorous proof of the Pl\"ucker type formula for Legendre dual…

In [LP] the authors defined symplectic "Local Gromov-Witten invariants" associated to spin curves and showed that the GW invariants of a Kahler surface X with p_g>0 are a sum of such local GW invariants. This paper describes how the local…

We carry out the programme of R. Liouville \cite{Liouville} to construct an explicit local obstruction to the existence of a Levi--Civita connection within a given projective structure $[\Gamma]$ on a surface. The obstruction is of order 5…

Each of the four critical Severi varieties arises from a minimal holomorphic nilpotent orbit in a simple regular rank 3 hermitian Lie algebra and each such variety lies as singular locus in a cubic--the chordal variety--in the corresponding…

We apply the combinatorial theory of spherical varieties to characterize the momentum polytopes of polarized projective spherical varieties. This enables us to derive a classification of these varieties, without specifying the open orbit,…

We consider closed manifolds that admit a metric locally isometric to a product of symmetric planes. For such manifolds, we prove that the Euler characteristic is an obstruction to the existence of flat structures, confirming an old…

Let $\pi : Z \to X$ be Galois cover of smooth projective curves with Galois group $W$ a Weyl group of a simple Lie group $G$. For a dominant weight $\lambda$, we consider the intermediate curve $Y_\lambda= Z/\Stab(\lambda)$. One can realise…

Let X be a smooth variety over a number field k embedded as a degree d subvariety of $\mathbb{P}^n$ and suppose that X is a counterexample to the Hasse principle explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction. We consider the question of whether…
