Dual canonical bases of the quantum general linear supergroup are constructed which are invariant under the multiplication of the quantum Berezinian. By setting the quantum Berezinian to identity, we obtain dual canonical bases of the…

We establish a characterization of the Du Bois complex of a reduced pair $(X,Z)$ when $X\smallsetminus Z$ has rational singularities. As an application, when $X$ has normal Du Bois singularities and $Z$ is the locus of non-rational…

We use Koll\'ar's gluing theory to prove the contraction theorem for generalized pairs. In particular, we show that we can run the MMP for any generalized log canonical pairs.

We establish normal form theorems for a large class of singular flat connections on complex manifolds, including connections with logarithmic poles along weighted homogeneous Saito free divisors. As a result, we show that the moduli spaces…

We classify minimal pairs (X, G) for smooth rational projective surface X and finite group G of automorphisms on X. We also determine the fixed locus X^G and the quotient surface Y = X/G as well as the fundamental group of the smooth part…

We study multiplicative properties of the (quantum) dual canonical basis B* associated to a semi-simple complex Lie group G. We provide a subset D of B* such that the following property holds : if two elements b, b' in B* q-commute and if…

We investigate properties of potentially Du Bois singularities, that is, those that occur on the underlying space of a Du Bois pair. We show that a normal variety $X$ with potentially Du Bois singularities and Cartier canonical divisor…

Birkar and Hu showed that if a pair $(X,\Delta)$ is lc and $K_{X}+\Delta$ admits a birational Zariski decomposition, then $(X,\Delta)$ has a minimal model. Analogously, we prove that if a pair $(X,\Delta)$ is pklt and $-(K_{X}+\Delta)$…

We give a light introduction to some recent developments in Mori theory, and to our recent direct proof of the finite generation of the canonical ring.

We give an account of Mazur's proof that, for an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$, if it admits a nonconstant mapping from $X(N)$ defined over the complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$, for some $N$, then it also admits a nonconstant mapping from…

We study positivity properties of the moduli (b-)divisor associated to a relative log pair $(X,B)/Y$ with relatively trivial log canonical class.

We give a sufficient condition for the termination of flips. Then we discuss a semi-stable minimal model program for varieties with (numerically) trivial canonical divisor as an application. We also treat a slight refinement of dlt…

For lc algebraically integrable foliations on klt varieties, we prove the base-point-freeness theorem, the contraction theorem, and the existence of flips. The first result resolves a conjecture of Cascini and Spicer, while the latter two…

We run Mori's program for the moduli space of pointed stable rational curves with divisor $K +\sum a_{i}\psi_{i}$. We prove that, without assuming the F-conjecture, the birational model for the pair is the Hassett's moduli space of weighted…

First we find effective bounds for the number of dominant rational maps $f:X \rightarrow Y$ between two fixed smooth projective varieties with ample canonical bundles. The bounds are of the type $\{A \cdot K_X^n\}^{\{B \cdot K_X^n\}^2}$,…

We give a log-geometric description of the space of twisted canonical divisors constructed by Farkas--Pandharipande. In particular, we introduce the notion of a principal rubber $k$-log-canonical divisor, and we study its moduli space. It…

We expand the theory of log canonical $3$-fold complements. We prove that if $X\rightarrow T$ is a $3$-dimensional contraction of log Calabi-Yau type, then we can find $B\geq 0$ on $X$ for which $(X,B)$ is log canonical and $n(K_X+B)\sim_T…

Given a Fano type log Calabi-Yau fibration $(X,B)\to Z$ with $(X,B)$ being $\epsilon$-lc, the first author in \cite{Bi23} proved that the generalised pair $(Z,B_Z+M_Z)$ given by the canonical bundle formula is generalised $\delta$-lc where…

We describe a systematic way of constructing effective divisors on the moduli space of stable curves of genus g having exceptionally small slope. We prove that any divisor on \bar{M}_g consisting of curves failing a certain Green-Lazarsfeld…

We prove that, assuming the F-conjecture, the log canonical model of the pair $(\bar{M}_{0,n}, \sum a_i \psi_i)$ is the Hassett's moduli space of weighted pointed stable rational curves without any modification of weight coefficients. For…
