We generalize the Chern class relation for the transversal intersection of two nonsingular varieties to a relation for possibly singular varieties, under a 'splayedness' assumption. The relation is shown to hold for both the…
An invariant kernel for the pluricanonical system of a projective manifold of general type is introduced. Using this kernel we prove that the Yau volume form on a smooth projective variety has seminegative Ricci curvature. As a biproduct we…
In 1954 Hirzebruch asked which linear combinations of Chern numbers are topological invariants of smooth complex projective varieties. We give a complete answer to this question in small dimensions, and also prove partial results without…
In this paper, we establish a structure theorem for minimal projective klt varieties $X$ that satisfiy Miyaoka's equality $3c_2(X) = c_1(X)^2$. Specifically, we prove that the canonical divisor $K_X$ is semi-ample and that the Kodaira…
In the context of uniformisation problems, we study projective varieties with klt singularities whose cotangent sheaf admits a projectively flat structure over the smooth locus. Generalising work of Jahnke-Radloff, we show that torus…
In this short note, we observe that Theorem 3.1 in arXiv:1508.00682 for semiorthogonal indecomposability of the derived category of smooth DM stacks based on the canonical bundle can be extended to the case of projective varieties with…
We show that every bad orbifold vector bundle can be realized as the restriction of a good orbifold vector bundle to a suborbifold of the base space. We give an explicit construction of this result in which the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology…
If $X$ is a smooth complex projective 3-fold with ample canonical divisor $K$, then the inequality $K^3\ge {2/3}(2p_g-7)$ holds, where $p_g$ denotes the geometric genus. This inequality is nearly sharp. We also give similar, but more…
We observe that linear relations among Chern-Mather classes of projective varieties are preserved by projective duality. We deduce the existence of an explicit involution on a part of the Chow group of projective space, encoding the effect…
In this paper, we investigate the noncompact prescribed Chern scalar curvature problem which reduces to solve a Kazdan-Warner type equation on noncompact non-K\"{a}hler manifolds. By introducing an analytic condition on noncompact…
The conjectural Bogomolov-Gieseker (BG) type inequality for tilt semistable objects on projective 3-folds was proposed by Bayer, Macri and the author. In this note, we prove our conjecture for slope stable sheaves with the smallest first…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, and let $C$ be a nonsingular projective curve over $\mathbb{K}$. We prove that for any real number $x \geq 2$, there are minimal surfaces of general type $X$ over…
In this note we introduce the concept of reflective projective varieties. These are stratified projective varieties with certain dimension constraints on their dual varieties. We prove that for such varieties, the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson…
We obtain a precise relation between the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a subvariety of projective space and the Euler characteristics of its general linear sections. In the case of a hypersurface, this leads to simple proofs of…
We introduce a class extending the notion of Chern-Mather class to possibly nonreduced schemes, and use it to express the difference between Schwartz-MacPherson's Chern class and the class of the virtual tangent bundle of a singular…
Compact Vaisman manifolds with vanishing first Chern class split into three categories, depending on the sign of the Bott-Chern class. We show that Vaisman manifolds with non-positive Bott-Chern class admit canonical metrics, are…
A theorem of Jannsen asserts that if a smooth projective variety has injective cycle class maps, it has surjective cycle class maps. The object of this note is to present a version of Jannsen's theorem for singular quasi--projective…
Let $X$ and $Y$ be smooth projective varieties over $\C$. We say that $X$ and $Y$ are \emph{D-equivalent} (or, $X$ is a \emph{Fourier--Mukai partner} of $Y$) if their derived categories of bounded complexes of coherent sheaves are…
This paper identifies a new class of shape invariant models. These models are based on extensions of conventional quantum mechanics that satisfy a string-motivated minimal length uncertainty relation. An important feature of our…
The classical isoperimetric inequality can be extended to a general normed plane. In the Euclidean plane, the defect in the isoperimetric inequality can be calculated in terms of the signed areas of some singular sets. In this paper we…
