We survey and explain some recent work at the intersection of model theory and bimeromorphic geometry (classification of compact complex manifolds). Included here are the essential saturation of the many sorted structure $\mathcal{C}$ of…

We discuss the relationships between the Andr\'e-Oort, Andr\'e-Pink-Zannier, and Mordell-Lang conjectures for Shimura varieties. We then combine the latter with the geometric Zilber-Pink conjecture to obtain some new results on unlikely…

This paper is about the arithmetic of Kudla-Rapoport divisors on Shimura varieties of type GU(n-1,1). In the first part of the paper we construct a toroidal compactification of N. Kramer's integral model of the Shimura variety. This extends…

In this paper, we seek an appropriate definition for a Shimura curve of Hodge type in positive characteristics, i.e. a characterization of curves in positive characteristics which are reduction of Shimura curve over the complex field.…

We apply the theory of Borcherds products to calculate arithmetic volumes (heights) of Shimura varieties of orthogonal type up to contributions from very bad primes. The approach is analogous to the well-known computation of their geometric…

This chapter combines an introduction and research survey about Schubert varieties. The theme is to combinatorially classify their singularities using a family of polynomial ideals generated by determinants.

In this paper we describe the general theory of constructing toroidal compactifications of locally symmetric spaces and using these to compute dimension formulas for spaces of modular forms. We focus explicitly on the case of the orthogonal…

The relative proportionality principle of Hirzebruch and H\"ofer was discovered in the case of compactified ball quotient surfaces X when studying curves C in X. It can be expressed as an inequality which attains equality precisely when C…

We show that, in the character variety of surface group representations into the Lie group $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R}) \times \mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, the compactification of the maximal component introduced by the second author is a…

This paper establishes an explicit obstruction to constructing algebraic cycles from automorphic cohomology classes on Shimura varieties. We produce a rational Hodge class $\Omega_E$ in the intersection cohomology of the Baily-Borel…

In this paper we present geometric features of group based models. We focus on the 3-Kimura model. We present a precise geometric description of the variety associated to any tree on a Zariski open set. In particular this set contains all…

We describe a compactification by stable pairs (also known as KSBA compactification) of the $4$-dimensional family of Enriques surfaces which arise as the $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$-covers of the blow up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at three general points…

We construct some complex surfaces of general type with maximal Picard number. These examples arise as fibrations of genus two curves over quaternionic Shimura curves.

The aim of this work is to give a twistor presentation of recent results about bi-Hermitian metrics on compact complex surfaces with odd first Betti number.

We discuss some aspects of heterotic-Type I duality. We focus on toroidal compactification, with special attention for the topology of the gauge group, and the topology of the bundle. We review the arguments leading to a classification of…

The aim of this paper is the construction of spinor bundles of Cartan type over certain non-orientable manifolds.

Statistical Topology emerged since topological aspects continue to gain importance in many areas of physics. It is most desirable to study topological invariants and their statistics in schematic models that facilitate the identification of…

Covering-based rough set theory is an extension to classical rough set. The main purpose of this paper is to study covering rough sets from a topological point of view. The relationship among upper approximations based on topological spaces…
