We discuss derived categories of coherent sheaves on algebraic varieties. We focus on the case of non-singular Calabi-Yau varieties and consider two unsolved problems: proving that birational varieties have equivalent derived categories,…

We consider derived categories of coherent sheaves on smooth projective varieties. We prove that any equivalence between them can be represented by an object on the product. Using this, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for…

We introduce trim resolutions of complex algebraic varieties, a strengthening of the notion of small resolution. We prove that the characteristic cycle of the intersection cohomology sheaf of a variety admitting a trim resolution is…

We prove a restriction isomorphism for Chow groups of zero-cycles with coefficients in Milnor K-theory for smooth projective schemes over excellent henselian discrete valuation rings. Furthermore, we study torsion subgroups of these groups…

We examine the extent to which a smooth minimal complex projective surface X is determined by its derived category of coherent sheaves D(X). To do this we find, for each such surface X, the set of surfaces Y for which there exists a…

We prove Milnor-Wood inequalities for local products of manifolds. As a consequence, we establish the generalized Chern Conjecture for products $M\times \Sigma^k$ for any product of a manifold $M$ with a product of $k$ copies of a surface…

We give an equivariant version of Packer and Rieffel's theorem on sufficient conditions for the existence of orthonormal wavelets in projective multiresolution analyses. The scaling functions that generate a projective multiresolution…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^r$ be smooth and irreducible and for $k \ge 0$ let $\nu_k(X)$ (resp., $\delta_k(X)$) be the $k$-th contact (resp., the $k$-th secant) defect of $X$. For all $k \ge 0$ we have the inequality $\nu_k(X) \ge…

We describe the integral equivariant cohomology ring of a weighted projective space in terms of piecewise polynomials, and thence by generators and relations. We deduce that the ring is a perfect invariant, and prove a Chern class formula…

We establish that smooth, geometrically integral projective varieties of small degree are not pointless in suitable solvable extensions of their field of definition, provided that this field is algebraic over $\Bbb Q$.

The paper is a generalization of a result of I. Dolgachev, M. Mendes Lopes, and R. Pardini. We prove that a smooth projective complex surface $X$, not necessarily minimal, contains $h^{1,1}(X)-1$ disjoint $(-2)$-curves if and only if $X$ is…

We extend Orlov's result on representability of equivalences to schemes projective over a field. We also investigate the quasi-projective case.

We study rank 2 torus-equivariant torsion-free sheaves on the complex projective space. For reflexive sheaves we derive a simple formula for the Chern polynomial, and in the general torsion-free case we introduce an iterative construction…

We exhaustively classify topological equivariant complex vector bundles over two-torus under a compact Lie group (not necessarily effective) action. It is shown that inequivariant Chern classes and isotropy representations at (at most) six…

In this short note, we show that K-semistable Fano manifolds with the smallest alpha invariant are projective spaces. Singular cases are also investigated.

We construct new t-structures on the derived category of coherent sheaves on smooth projective threefolds. We conjecture that they give Bridgeland stability conditions near the large volume limit. We show that this conjecture is equivalent…

We study curvatures of the groups of measure-preserving diffeomorphisms of non-orientable compact surfaces. For the cases of the Klein bottle and the real projective plane we compute curvatures, their asymptotics and the normalized Ricci…

Some elementary considerations are presented concerning Catenoids and their stability, separable minimal hypersurfaces, minimal surfaces obtainable by rotating shapes, determinantal varieties, minimal tori in S3, the minimality in Rnk of…

We investigate the projective normality of smooth, linearly normal surfaces of degree 9. All non projectively normal surfaces which are not scrolls over a curve are classified. Results on the projective normality of surface scrolls are also…

Olkin and Shepp (2005, J. Statist. Plann. Inference, vol. 130, pp. 351--358) presented a matrix form of Chernoff's inequality for Normal and Gamma (univariate) distributions. We extend and generalize this result, proving Poincare-type and…
