We prove a generic flatness result for the cohomology of thickenings of a projective scheme that is smooth over a Noetherian domain containing a field of characteristic zero. Our study is motivated, in part, by a classical question in…

Let G/Q be an homogeneous variety embedded in a projective space P thanks to an ample line bundle L. Take a projective space containing P and form the cone X over G/Q, we call this a cone over an homogeneous variety. Let $\alpha$ a class of…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface over a field. We introduce the notion of integral decomposability and, respectively, the opposite notion of integral indecomposability, of the transcendental motive $M^2_{\rm tr}(S)$. If the…

A rational projective plane ($\mathbb{QP}^2$) is a simply connected, smooth, closed manifold $M$ such that $H^*(M;\mathbb{Q}) \cong \mathbb{Q}[\alpha]/\langle \alpha^3 \rangle$. An open problem is to classify the dimensions at which such a…

It is proved that a smooth rational surface in projective four-space, which is ruled by cubics or quartics has degree at most 12. It is also proved that a smooth rational surface in projective four-space which is the image of Fn by a linear…

Let $(X,D)$ be an open log del Pezzo surface of rank one, that is, $X$ is a normal projective surface of Picard rank one, the boundary $D$ is a reduced nonzero divisor on $X$, and the anti-log canonical divisor $-(K_X+D)$ is ample. We show…

We show that the metrisability of an oriented projective surface is equivalent to the existence of pseudo-holomorphic curves. A projective structure $\mathfrak{p}$ and a volume form $\sigma$ on an oriented surface $M$ equip the total space…

We prove that a closed, simply connected, positively curved, cohomogeneity-three manifold whose quotient space has no boundary is rationally elliptic, thus providing a generalization of similar results regarding rational ellipticity of…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold with negative holomorphic sectional curvature. It was proved by Wu-Yau and Tosatti-Yang that $M$ is necessarily projective and has ample canonical bundle. In this paper, we show that any…

By means of analytic methods the quasi-projectivity of the moduli space of algebraically polarized varieties with a not necessarily reduced complex structure is proven including the case of non-uniruled polarized varieties.

We consider projective rational strong Calabi dream surfaces: projective smooth rational surfaces which admit a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metric for every K\"ahler class. We show that there are only two such rational surfaces,…

Let $Y$ be a smooth, projective curve of genus $g\geq 1$ over the complex numbers. Let $H^0_{d,A}(Y)$ be the Hurwitz space which parametrizes coverings $p:X \to Y$ of degree $d$, simply branched in $n=2e$ points, with monodromy group equal…

In this short note we prove two projectivity criteria for fibrations between mildly singular compact K\"ahler spaces. They are the relative versions of the celebrated criteria of Kodaira and Moishezon. As an application we obtain that the…

We give a new proof of the Semistable Reduction Theorem for curves. The main idea is to present a curve $Y$ over a local field $K$ as a finite cover of the projective line $X=\PP^1_K$. By successive blowups (and after replacing $K$ by a…

The conjecture called algebraic Montgomery-Yang problem is still open for rational $\mathbb{Q}$-homology projective planes with cyclic quotient singularities having ample canonical divisor. All known such surfaces have a special birational…

Let X be a projective variety which is covered by a family of rational curves of minimal degree. The classic bend-and-break argument of Mori asserts that if x and y are two general points, then there are at most finitely many curves in that…

A manifold $M$ possesses a real projective structure if it has an atlas consisting of charts mapping to $\mathbf{S}^n$, where the transition maps lie in $\mathrm{SL}_\pm(n+1, \mathbf{R})$. In this context, we present a concise proof…

A class of topological spaces is projective (resp., $\omega$-projective) if and only if projective systems of spaces (resp., with a countable cofinal subset of indices) in the class are still in the class. A certain number of classes of…

In this paper, we establish a "pseudo-effective" version of the holonomy principle for compact K\"{a}hler manifolds with nonnegative holomorphic sectional curvature. As applications, we prove that if a compact complex manifold $M$ admits a…
