We compute the nef cone of the Hilbert scheme of points on a general rational elliptic surface. As a consequence of our computation, we show that the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture holds for these nef cones.
We discuss adjunction formulas for fiber spaces and embeddings, extending the known results along the lines of the Adjunction Conjecture, independently proposed by Y. Kawamata and V.V. Shokurov. As an application, we simplify Koll\'ar's…
We develop some ideas of Morrison and Plesser and formulate a precise mathematical conjecture which has close relations to toric mirror symmetry. Our conjecture, we call it Toric Residue Mirror Conjecture, claims that the generating…
We show that qubit and chirotope concepts are closely related. In fact, we prove that the qubit concept leads to a generalization of the chirotope concept, which we call qubitope. Moreover, we argue that a possible qubitope theory may…
We consider relationships between families of K3 surfaces, in the context of string theory. An important ingredient of string theory also of interest in algebraic geometry is T-duality. Donagi and Pantev have extended the original duality…
In part I of this paper we constructed certain fibered Calabi-Yaus by a quotient construction in the context of weighted hypersurfaces. In this paper look at the case of K3 fibrations more closely and study the singular fibers which occur.…
We prove a conjectural correspondence of Cao-Maulik-Toda which relates Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of fiber classes on a smooth projective Calabi-Yau 4-fold fibered over a curve to the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of a smooth fiber under an…
We prove a conjecture of V. V. Shokurov which in particular implies that the fibers of a resolution of a variety with divisorial log terminal singularities are rationally chain connected.
We formulate the modularity conjecture for rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds defined over the field Q of rational numbers. We establish the modularity for the rigid Calabi-Yau threefold arising from the root lattice A_3. Our proof is based on…
Let S be a K3 surface obtained as triple cover of a quadric branched along a genus 4 curve. Using the relation with cubic fourfolds, we show that S has finite dimensional motive, in the sense of Kimura. We also establish the Kuga-Satake…
We give several structure theorems for certain surjective endomorphisms on Mori fibre spaces, based on the dynamical Iitaka fibration of the ramification divisor. As an application, we prove the Kawaguchi-Silverman conjecture for projective…
In this paper, we investigate singularities on fibrations and related topics. We prove conjectures of McKernan and Shokurov on singularities on Fano type fibrations and a conjecture of the author on singularities on log Calabi-Yau…
The SYZ Conjecture explains Mirror Symmetry between mirror Calabi-Yau 3-folds M,M' in terms of special Lagrangian fibrations f : M --> B and f' : M' --> B over the same base B, whose fibres are dual 3-tori, except for singular fibres. One…
We study the Cox rings of smooth anticanonical Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in smooth toric Fano varieties. Using the combinatorics of primitive pairs of the ambient Fano polytope and the description of Cox rings of embedded varieties via…
Enriques manifolds are non--simply connected manifolds whose universal cover is irreducible holomorphic symplectic, and as such they are natural generalizations of Enriques surfaces. The goal of this note is to prove the Morrison--Kawamata…
A conjecture, recently stated by Flach and Morin, relates the action of the monodromy on the Galois invariant part of the p-adic Beilinson-Hyodo-Kato cohomology of the generic fiber of a scheme defined over a DVR of mixed characteristic to…
We prove the following results for projective klt pairs of dimension $3$ over an algebraically closed field of char $p>5$: the cone theorem, the base point free theorem, the contraction theorem, finiteness of minimal models, termination…
This paper considers normal projective complex surface X with at worst Kawamata log terminal singularities and K_X is numerically trivial. The aim is to prove that there is a finite rational polyhedral cone which is a fundamental domain for…
The elliptic 3-manifolds are the closed 3-manifolds that admit a Riemannian metric of constant positive curvature, that is, those that have finite fundamental group. The (Generalized) Smale Conjecture asserts that for any elliptic…
Based on results by S.K. Roushon (math.KT/0408243 and math.KT/0405211) this thesis summarizes in an axiomatic way when a Meta-Isomorphism-Conjecture in the sense of Lueck and Reich (math.KT/0402405) is true for fundamental groups of…
