We prove the general diagram method theorem valid for the quite large class of 3-folds with Q-factorial singularities (see Basic Theorem 1.3.2 and also Theorem 2.2.6). This gives the generalization of our results about Fano 3-folds with…

We give a bound on the minimal number of singularities of a nodal projective complete intersection threefold which contains a smooth complete intersection surface that is not a Cartier divisor.

Let $Y$ be a compact Gorenstein analytic space with only isolated singularities and trivial dualizing sheaf. A recent paper of Imagi studies the deformation theory of $Y$ in case the singularities of $Y$ are weighted homogeneous and…

Following the work of Totaro and Pereira, we study sufficient conditions under which collections of pairwise-disjoint divisors on a variety over an algebraically closed field are contained in the fibers of a morphism to a curve. We prove…

In this paper we show that any smoothable complex projective variety, smooth in codimension two, with klt singularities and numerically trivial canonical class admits a finite cover, \'etale in codimension one, that decomposes as a product…

An affine algebraic variety $X$ is rigid if the algebra of regular functions ${\mathbb K}[X]$ admits no nonzero locally nilpotent derivation. We prove that a factorial trinomial hypersurface is rigid if and only if every exponent in the…

Pareschi showed that an ample divisor of degree $d$ on a simple abelian variety of dimension $g$ has mild singularities when $d<g$. We extend his result to general polarized abelian varieties. We also show that ample divisors of degree $3$…

Assuming the abundance conjecture and the existence of a Zariski dense set of rational curves on terminal Calabi--Yau varieties, we show that a complex projective weakly special manifold $X$ with no rational curves is an \'etale quotient of…

Given a smooth complex projective surface $S$ and an ample divisor $H$ on $S$, consider the blow up of $S$ along $k$ points in general position. Let $H'$ be the pullback of $H$ and $E_1,..., E_k$ be the exceptional divisors. We show that $L…

In this paper we prove that given a pair $(X,D)$ of a threefold $X$ and a boundary divisor $D$ with mild singularities, if $(K_X+D)$ is movable, then the orbifold second Chern class $c_2$ of $(X,D)$ is pseudo-effective. This generalizes the…

Let $X$ be a projective manifold of dimension $n$. Suppose that $T_X$ contains an ample subsheaf. We show that $X$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^n$. As an application, we derive the classification of projective manifolds containing a…

Kawamata proposed a conjecture predicting that every nef and big line bundle on a smooth projective variety with trivial first Chern class has nontrivial global sections. We verify this conjecture for several cases, including (i) all…

This thesis is devoted to the study of abelian automorphism groups of surfaces and $3$-folds of general type over complex number field $\Bbb C$. We obtain a linear bound in $K^3$ for abelian automorphism groups of $3$-folds of general type…

For a fixed finite solvable group $G$ and number field $K$, we prove an upper bound for the number of $G$-extensions $L/K$ with restricted local behavior (at infinitely many places) and ${\rm inv}(L/K)<X$ for a general invariant $"{\rm…

For a projective variety $Z$ and for any integer $p$, define the $p$-th N\'eron-Severi group $NS_p(Z)$ of $Z$ as the image of the cycle map $A_{p}(Z)\to H_{2p}(Z; \mathbb{C})$. Now let $X\subset \Ps^{2m+1}$ ($m\geq 1$) be a projective…

In this paper, we prove the non-vanishing and some special cases of the abundance for log canonical threefold pairs over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p > 3$. More precisely, we prove that if $(X,B)$ be a projective…

In this article we study the extendability of a smooth projective variety by degenerating it to a ribbon. We apply the techniques to study extendability of Calabi-Yau threefolds $X_t$ that are general deformations of Calabi-Yau double…

Let $X$ be a $\mathbb Q$-Fano variety admitting a K\"ahler-Einstein metric. We prove that up to a finite quasi-\'etale cover, $X$ splits isometrically as a product of K\"ahler-Einstein $\mathbb Q$-Fano varieties whose tangent sheaf is…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ with arbitrary characteristic. Suppose $L$ is an ample and globally generated line bundle. By Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity, we show that $K_X \otimes…

We extend the decomposition theorem for numerically $K$-trivial varieties with log terminal singularities to the K\"ahler setting. Along the way we prove that all such varieties admit a strong locally trivial algebraic approximation, thus…
