In this paper, we prove that a weak form of the Akizuki-Nakano vanishing theorem holds on globally $F$-split 3-folds. Making use of this vanishing theorem, we study deformations of globally $F$-split Fano 3-folds and the Kodaira vanishing…
We give several examples of pairs of non-isomorphic cubic fourfolds whose Fano varieties of lines are birationally equivalent (and in one example isomorphic). Two of our examples, which are special families of conjecturally irrational…
As a special case of a conjecture by Schwede and Smith, we prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with nef anti-canonical divisor is weak Fano if it is of globally $F$-regular type.
In this paper we classify rank two Fano bundles $\cE$ on Fano manifolds satisfying $H^2(X,\Z)\cong H^4(X,\Z)\cong\Z$. The classification is obtained via the computation of the nef and pseudoeffective cones of the projectivization…
Let $(X,L)$ be any Fano manifold polarized by a positive multiple of its fundamental divisor $H$. The polynomial defining the Hilbert curve of $(X,L)$ boils down to being the Hilbert polynomial of $(X,H)$, hence it is totally reducible over…
For a normal projective variety $X$, the $\bf Q$-factoriality defect $\sigma(X)$ is defined to be the rank of the quotient of the group of Weil divisors by the subgroup of Cartier ones. We prove a slight improvement of a topological formula…
In this note, we reduce various conjectures in birational geometry, including Shokurov conjecture on singularities of the base of log Calabi-Yau fibrations of Fano type and boundedness conjecture for rationally connected Calabi-Yau…
In this paper, we study the explicit geometry of threefolds, in particular, Fano varieties. We find an explicitly computable positive integer $N$, such that all but a bounded family of Fano threefolds have $N$-complements. This result has…
A. Borisov classified into finitely many series the set of isomorphism classes of germs of toric $\Q$-factorial singularities, of fixed dimension and with minimal log discrepancy over the special point bounded from below by a fixed real…
We classify rank two vector bundles on a Fano threefold of Picard rank one whose projectivizations are weak Fano. We also prove the existence of examples for each case of the classification result. Our classification includes detailed…
Algebraic varieties are the geometric shapes defined by systems of polynomial equations; they are ubiquitous across mathematics and science. Amongst these algebraic varieties are Q-Fano varieties: positively curved shapes which have…
We give a new proof of a result by Fathi, which states that, to any homeomorphism of a closed surface which is isotopic to a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism, we can associate a stable and an unstable invariant partition of the surface with…
We study finite quotients of abelian varieties (fqav for short) i.e. quotients of abelian varieties by finite groups. We show that Q-abelian varieties (i.e. fqav's with $\mathbb Q$-linearly trivial canonical divisors) are characterized by…
Non-dicritical codimension one foliations on projective spaces of dimension four or higher always have an invariant algebraic hypersurface. The proof relies on a strengthening of a result by Rossi on the algebraization/continuation of…
By a canonical (resp. terminal) weak $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano $3$-fold we mean a normal projective one with at worst canonical (resp. terminal) singularities on which the anti-canonical divisor is $\mathbb{Q}$-Cartier, nef and big. For a canonical…
In this paper we study Fano threefolds with a torsion divisor (Fano--Enriques). Due to this torsion divisor, they can be described as quotients of Fano threefolds by a finite abelian group action. We start from lists of Fano threefolds by…
We prove a new restriction theorem for semistable sheaves on varieties in all characteristics strengthening previous results. We also prove restriction theorem for strong semistability for varieties with some non-negativity constrains on…
A conjecture of Batyrev and Manin relates arithmetic properties of varieties with ample anticanonical class to geometric invariants; in particular, counting functions defined by metrized ample line bundles and the corresponding asymptotics…
Let X be a subvariety of $P^n$ defined by equations of degrees $ d =(d_1,...,d_s)$, over an algebraically closed field k of any characteristic. We study properties of the Fano scheme $F_r(X)$ that parametrizes linear subspaces of dimension…
The aim of this note is to settle some foundational questions about the behavior of birational rigidity in extensions of algebraically closed fields.
