We give a new residual intersection decomposition for the refined intersection products of Fulton-MacPherson. Our formula refines the celebrated residual intersection formula of Fulton, Kleiman, Laksov, and MacPherson. The new decomposition…

We generalize Blumberg-Mandell's K-theoretic Poitou-Tate duality to arithmetic schemes of arbitrary dimension, smooth and proper over S-integers. As in our earlier papers on the subject, we discuss how to model the compactly supported side…

We give an upper bound for the minimal discrepancies of hypersurface singularities. As an application, we show that Shokurov's conjecture is true for log-terminal threefolds.

We study rational curves on general Fano hypersurfaces in projective space, mostly by degenerating the hypersurface along with its ambient projective space to reducible varieties. We prove results on existence of low-degree rational curves…

Let $X$ be a K3 surface defined over a number field $K$. Assume that $X$ admits a structure of an elliptic fibration or an infinite group of automorphisms. Then there exists a finite extension $K'/K$ such that the set of $K'$-rational…

We utilize recent results of Andr\'e and Gabber on the existence of weakly functorial integral perfectoid big Cohen-Macaulay (BCM) algebras to study singularities of local rings in mixed characteristic. In particular, we introduce a mixed…

We study the systems of ordinary differential equations which are implicit with respect to the higher derivatives, appearing in the linear form, and their solutions near the singular points. The invertibility of the higher derivatives…

In this paper, we prove the boundedness of foliated surfaces $(X,\mathscr{F})$ which are minimal partial du Val resolutions of canonical models $(X_c,\mathscr{F}_c)$ of general type. For applications, we show the boundedness of non-cusp…

In this paper we investigate a relationship between fully k-rotundity properties, uniform K-monotonicity properties, reflexivity and K-order continuity in a symmetric spaces E. We also answer a crucial question whether fully k-rotundity…

We study the weighted spectrum and vanishing cohomology for several classes of isolated hypersurface singularities, and how they contribute to the limiting mixed Hodge structure of a smoothing. Applications are given to several types of…

It is a conjecture of Koll\'ar that a variety $X$ with rational singularities in some open subvariety $U$ has a rationalification; that is, a proper, birational morphism $f: Y \rightarrow X$ such that $Y$ has rational singularities, and…

We study neighborhoods of rational curves in surfaces with self-intersection number 1 that can be linearised.

We prove that a Fano complete intersection of codimension $k$ and index 1 in the complex projective space ${\mathbb P}^{M+k}$ for $k\geqslant 20$ and $M\geqslant 8k\log k$ with at most multi-quadratic singularities is birationally…

We say that a subset of $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{R})$ is maximally singular if its contains points with $\mathbb{Q}$-linearly independent homogenous coordinates whose uniform exponent of simultaneous rational approximation is equal to $1$, the…

Using ideas from the theory of tropical curves and degeneration, we prove that any Fano hypersurface (and more generally Fano complete intersections) is swept by at most quadratic rational curves.

We prove that rational and 1-rational singularities of complex spaces are stable under taking quotients by holomorphic actions of reductive and compact Lie groups. This extends a result of Boutot to the analytic category and yields a…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic 0 and $G$ a linear algebraic $k$-group. When $G$ is abelian, it is well known that torsors under $G_{X}$ over a $k$-scheme $\pi:X\to \textup{Spec} k$ provide an obstruction to the existence of…

We explore the connection between the rank of a polynomial and the singularities of its vanishing locus. We first describe the singularity of generic polynomials of fixed rank. We then focus on cubic surfaces. Cubic surfaces with isolated…

We study rational points on a smooth variety X over a complete local field K with algebraically closed residue field, and models of X with tame quotient singularities. If a model of X is the quotient of a Galois action on a weak N\'eron…

We study the connection between the singularities of a finite type $\mathbb{Z}$-scheme X and the asymptotic point count of X over various finite rings. In particular, if the generic fiber…
