Let $M$ be an irreducible holomorphically symplectic manifold. We show that all faces of the Kahler cone of $M$ are hyperplanes $H_i$ orthogonal to certain homology classes, called monodromy birationally minimal (MBM) classes. Moreover, the…
Let C be a complex smooth projective algebraic curve endowed with an action of a finite group G such that the quotient curve has genus at least 3. We prove that if the G-curve C is very general for these properties, then the natural map…
The purpose of this article is to prove a ``Newton over Hodge'' result for exponential sums on curves. Let $X$ be a smooth proper curve over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p\geq 3$ and let $V \subset X$ be an affine curve.…
This paper gives the first description of derived monodromy on the stringy K\"ahler moduli space (SKMS) for a general irreducible flopping curve C in a 3-fold X with mild singularities. We do this by constructing two new infinite helices:…
We show some generic (robust) properties of smooth surfaces immersed in the real 3-space (Euclidean, affine or projective), in the neighbourhood of a {\em godron} (term due to R.Thom): an isolated parabolic point at which the (unique)…
We study a notion of strict pseudoconvexity in the context of topologically (often unsmoothably) embedded 3-manifolds in complex surfaces. Topologically pseudoconvex (TPC) 3-manifolds behave similarly to their smooth analogues, cutting out…
Let X and Y be smooth complex projective varieties. Orlov conjectured that if X and Y are derived equivalent then their motives M(X) and M(Y) are isomorphic in Voevodsky's triangulated category of geometrical motives with rational…
We determine the possible finite groups $G$ of symplectic automorphisms of hyperk\"ahler manifolds which are deformation equivalent to the second Hilbert scheme of a K3 surface. We prove that $G$ has such an action if, and only if, it is…
For $q\leq 3$ smooth plane algebraic curves $\mathcal{C}_i$ having simple normal crossings, if the invariant logarithmic $2$-jet differential bundle associated to $(\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{C}), \sum_{i=1}^q \mathcal{C}_i)$ has a nonzero…
We propose (and prove under some restrictions) that the square class of the central value of the $L$-function of an everywhere unramified symplectic Galois representation is given by a universal cohomological formula. This phenomenon is…
I prove the existence of slices for an action of a reductive complex Lie group on a K\"ahler manifold at certain orbits, namely those orbits that intersect the zero level set of a momentum map for the action of a compact real form of the…
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed oriented Riemannian $3$-manifold and suppose that there is a strongly irreducible Heegaard splitting $H$. We prove that $H$ is either isotopic to a minimal surface of index at most one or isotopic to the stable…
Let $\Gamma \subset \mathbf{PU}(2,1)$ be a lattice which is not co-compact, of finite Bergman-covolume and acting freely on the open unit ball $\mathbf{B} \subset \mathbb{C}^2$. Then the compactification $X = \bar{\Gamma \setminus…
We study divisors on moduli spaces of cubic fourfolds with simple singularities and of quasi-polarized K3 surfaces of degree $2d$. For the moduli space of cubic fourfolds, we introduce a slope quantity to characterize the effective cone and…
We prove that for every reductive algebraic group $H$ with centre of positive dimension and every integer $K$ there is a smooth and projective variety $X$ and an algebraic $H$-torsor $P \to X$ such that the classifying map $X \to \Bclass H$…
Suppose $X$ is a smooth projective scheme of finite type over a field $K$, $\mathcal{E}$ is a locally free ${\mathcal{O}}_{X}$-bimodule of rank 2, $\mathcal{A}$ is the non-commutative symmetric algebra generated by $\mathcal{E}$ and ${\sf…
Given a closed orientable Euclidean cone 3-manifold C with cone angles less than or equal to pi, and which is not almost product, we describe the space of constant curvature cone structures on C with cone angles less than pi. We establish a…
Suppose $X^{N}$ is a closed oriented manifold, $\alpha \in H^*(X;\mathbb{R})$ is a cohomology class, and $Z \in H_{N-k}(X)$ is an integral homology class. We ask the following question: is there an oriented embedded submanifold $Y^{N-k}…
In this paper we give a description of hypersurfaces with trivial ring $AK(S)$, introduced by the second author as following. Let $X$ be an affine variety and let $G(X)$ be the group generated by all $\Bbb {C}^+$-actions on $X$. Then…
Let X be a smooth variety over a field k, and l be a prime number invertible in k. We study the (\'etale) unramified H^3 of X with coefficients Q_l/Z_l(2) in the style of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Voisin. If k is separably closed, finite or…
