We study the relation between semipositivity, nefness, and bigness of line bundles on compact K\"ahler manifolds. Every nef and big line bundle on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ is positive when ${\rm dim}\,X = 1$. Kim constructed an…

A celebrated conjecture of Kobayashi and Lang says that the canonical line bundle $K_X$ of a Kobayashi hyperbolic compact complex manifold $X$ is ample. In this note we prove that $K_X$ is ample if $X$ is projective and satisfies a stronger…

We study some geometrical and topological aspects of the generalised dimensional reduction of supergravities in D=11 and D=10 dimensions, which give rise to massive theories in lower dimensions. In these reductions, a global symmetry is…

We formulate the generalized Sarnak's M\"obius disjointness conjecture for an arbitrary number field $K$, and prove a quantitative disjointness result between polynomial nilsequences $(\Phi(g(n)\Gamma))_{n\in\mathbb{Z}^{D}}$ and aperiodic…

Nonvanishing theorems play a central role in birational geometry, since they derive geometric consequences from numerical information and constitute a crucial step towards abundance and semiampleness problems. General nonvanishing…

Let p: Y--> X be a surjection between schemes projective over the algebraic closure of a finite field. Let L be a line bundle on X such that p^*(L) is globally generated. I give a natural necessary and sufficient condition under which some…

By proving an integral formula of the curvature tensor of $E\ts \det E$, we observe that the curvature tensor of $E\ts \det E$ is very similar to that of a line bundle and obtain certain new Kodaira-Akizuki-Nakano type vanishing theorems…

In this article we prove a general result on a nef vector bundle $E$ on a projective manifold $X$ of dimension $n$ depending on the vector space $H^{n,n} (X, E). $ It is also shown that $H^{n,n} (X, E)=0$ for an indecomposable nef rank 2…

In this paper, we prove that a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ with the nef anti-canonical bundle $-K_{X}$ admits a locally trivial fibration $\phi \colon X \to Y$, where the fiber $F$ is a rationally connected manifold and the base $Y$ is a…

We prove that under a finite surjective map of irreducible smooth complex projective curves, the pullback and direct image of a parabolic ample (respectively, parabolic nef) vector bundle is again parabolic ample (respectively, parabolic…

It is proved by Kawamata that the canonical bundle of a projective manifold is semi-ample if it is big and nef. We give an analytic proof using the Ricci flow, degeneration of Riemannian manifolds and $L^2$-theory. Combined with our earlier…

A natural higher K-theoretic analogue of the triviality of vector bundles on affine toric varieties is the conjecture on nilpotence of the multiplicative action of the natural numbers on the K-theory of these varieties. This includes both…

Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a klt threefold pair with nef anti-log canonical bundle $-(K_X+\Delta)$. We show that $\kappa(X, -(K_X+\Delta))\geq 0$. To do so, we prove a more general equivariant non-vanishing result for anti-log canonical bundles,…

The nonvanishing conjecture for projective log canonical pairs plays a key role in the minimal model program of higher dimensional algebraic geometry. The numerical nonvanishing conjecture considered in this paper is a weaker version of the…

We extend previous results on noncommutative recurrence in unital *-algebras over the integers, to the case where one works over locally compact Hausdorff groups. We derive a generalization of Khintchine's recurrence theorem, as well as a…

We prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with a K\"ahler metric of negative holomorphic sectional curvature has ample canonical line bundle. In dimensions greater than three, we prove that, under equal assumptions, the nef…

Let $X$ be a normal projective threefold with mild singularities, and $L_X$ a strictly nef $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor on $X$. First, we show the ampleness of $K_X+tL_X$ with sufficiently large $t$ if either the Kodaira dimension $\kappa(X)\neq 0$…

Let X be a smooth projective variety and let K be the canonical divisor of X. In this paper, we study embeddings of X given by adjoint line bundles of the form K+L, where L is an ample line bundle. When X is a regular surface (i.e. H^1(X,…

In this paper we prove a generalization of a theorem of Schneider, which gives a criterion for a projective surface over the complex numbers to have an ample cotangent bundle. After reviewing different notions of positivity, we introduce a…
