Our goal is to settle the following faded problem: The Jacobian Conjecture (JC_n): If f_1,..,f_n are elements in a polynomial ring k[X_1,..,X_n] over a field k of characteristic 0 such that det(\partial f_i/ \partial X_j) is a nonzero…

We study birational maps among 1) the moduli space of semistable torsion sheaves of Hilbert polynomial $4m+2$ on a smooth quadric surface, 2) the moduli space of semistable torsion sheaves of Hilbert polynomial $m^{2}+3m+2$ on…

We study the second fundamental form of the Siegel metric in $\mathcal A_5$ restricted to the locus of intermediate Jacobians of cubic threefolds. We prove that the image of this second fundamental form, which is known to be non-trivial, is…

A generic quartic 3-fold X admits a 7-dimensional family of representations as the Pfaffian of an 8 by 8 skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms. This provides a 7-dimensional moduli space M of rank 2 vector bundles on X. A precise geometric…

The surface of lines in a cubic fourfold intersecting a fixed line splits motivically into two parts, one of which resembles a K3 surface. We define the analogue of the Beauville-Voisin class and study the push-forward map to the Fano…

We construct moduli stacks of stable sheaves for surfaces fibered over marked nodal curves by using expanded degenerations. These moduli stacks carry a virtual class and therefore give rise to enumerative invariants. In the case of a…

This paper contains detailed proofs of our results on the moduli space and the structure of noncommutative 3-spheres. We develop the notion of central quadratic form for quadratic algebras, and a general theory which creates a bridge…

There are two types of involutions on a cubic threefold: the Eckardt type (which has been studied by the first named and the third named authors) and the non-Eckardt type. Here we study cubic threefolds with a non-Eckardt type involution,…

We consider moduli stacks of Bridgeland semistable objects that previously had only set-theoretic identifications with Uhlenbeck compactification spaces. On a K3 surface $X$, we give examples where such a moduli stack is isomorphic to a…

We consider a prime Fano 6-fold $Y$ of index 3, which is a fine quiver moduli space and a blow down of $\mathrm{Hilb}^3(\mathds{P}^2)$. We calculate the quantum cohomology ring of $Y$ and obtain Quantum Chevalley formulas for the Schubert…

We generalize the equivariant intermediate Jacobian torsor obstruction over $\mathbb{C}$ to algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. It is an obstruction to the (projective) linearizability problem of finite group actions on…

We show that the only summands of theta divisors on Jacobians of curves and on intermediate Jacobians of cubic threefolds are the obvious powers of the curve and the Fano surface of lines on the threefold. The proof uses the decomposition…

We give a detailed analysis of the semisimple elements, in the sense of Vinberg, of the third exterior power of a 9-dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2 and 3. To a general such…

In this note, we explain how certain matrix factorizations on cubic threefolds lead to families of curves of genus 15 and degree 16 in P^4. We prove that the moduli space M={(C,L) | C a curve of genus 15, L a line bundle on C of degree 16…

We generalise the techniques of semistable reduction for flat families of sheaves to the setting of the derived category $D^b(X)$ of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective three-fold $X$. Then we construct the moduli of PT-semistable…

We show that the projectivization of the exceptional rank 2 vector bundle on an arbitrary smooth V14 Fano threefold after a certain natural flop turns into the projectivization of an instanton vector bundle on a smooth cubic threefold. And…

Let X be a Calabi-Yau threefold and \mu the symmetric trilinear form on the second cohomology group H^{2}(X,\Z) defined by the cup product. We investigate the interplay between the Chern classes c_{2}(X), c_{3}(X) and the trilinear form…

A V_{12} Fano threefold is a smooth Fano threefold X of index 1 with Pic X = Z and (-K_X)^3=12. We show that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on any V_{12} threefold X admits a semiorthogonal decomposition consisting of two…

We briefly review the formal picture in which a Calabi-Yau $n$-fold is the complex analogue of an oriented real $n$-manifold, and a Fano with a fixed smooth anticanonical divisor is the analogue of a manifold with boundary, motivating a…

We study special subvarieties, i.e., subvarieties containing a dense subset of CM points, of the moduli space $A_5$ of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension five, generically contained in the locus of intermediate Jacobians…
