Observer-invariance is regarded as a minimum requirement for an appropriate definition and derived systematically from a spacetime setting, where observer-invariance is a special case of a covariance principle and covered by Ricci-calculus.…

In this article, we determine the existing condition of cylinders in smooth minimal geometrically rational surfaces over a perfect field. Furthermore, we show that for any birational map between smooth projective surfaces, one contains a…

Let X be the blow-up of the projective plane in a finite set of very general points. We deduce from the work of Uehara that X has only standard autoequivalences, no nontrivial Fourier-Mukai partners, and admits no spherical objects. If X is…

Modifying an approach of J. Roe, this paper gives an improved lower bound on the degrees d such that for general points p1,...,pn in P2 and m > 0 there is a plane curve of degree d vanishing at each point pi with multiplicity at least m. In…

We discuss without proof some recent advances in the theory of distributional boundary values, and give an example to show that the condition that a piecewise smooth domain has generic corners is necessary for the existence of boundary…

We discuss a special class of solutions to the minimal surface system. These are vector-valued functions that "decrease area" and are natural generalization of scalar functions. After defining area-decreasing maps, we show several classical…

We extend Langton's valuative criterion for families of coherent algebraic sheaves to a complex analytic set-up. As a consequence we derive a set of sufficient conditions for the compactness of a moduli space of semistable sheaves over a…

The purpose of this article is to give an interpretation of real projective structures and associated cohomology classes in terms of connections, sections, etc. satisfying elliptic partial differential equations in the spirit of Hodge…

Li introduced the normalized volume of a valuation due to its relation to K-semistability. He conjectured that over a klt singularity there exists a valuation with smallest normalized volume. We prove this conjecture and provide an example…

Given a projective variety X defined over a finite field, the zeta function of divisors attempts to count all irreducible, codimension one subvarieties of X, each measured by their projective degree. When the dimension of X is greater than…

In this article we give a general approach to the following analogue of Shafarevich's conjecture for some polarized algebraic varieties; suppose that we fix a type of an algebraic variety and look at families of such type of varieties over…

Let $X$ be a complex nonsingular projective surface and let $L$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. We study multi-point Seshadri constants of $L$ at singular points of certain arrangements of curves on $X$. We pose some questions about such…

We consider a class of piecewise smooth one-dimensional maps with critical points and singularities (possibly with infinite derivative). Under mild summability conditions on the growth of the derivative on critical orbits, we prove the…

We show that self-similar measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ satisfying the weak separation condition are uniformly scaling. Our approach combines elementary ergodic theory with geometric analysis of the structure given by the weak separation…

This paper studies the Seshadri constant of an ample line bundle at a very general point, seeking a very slight improvement on the result of Ein, Kuchle, and Lazarsfeld. The main point is that couting jets more carefully yields a better…

For a two-dimensional surface in the four-dimensional Euclidean space we introduce an invariant linear map of Weingarten type in the tangent space of the surface, which generates two invariants k and kappa. The condition k = kappa = 0…

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 $\Bbb Q$.

Let M be a Q-divisor on a smooth surface over C. In this paper we give criteria for very ampleness of the adjoint of the round-up of M. (Similar results for global generation were given by Ein and Lazarsfeld and used in their proof of…

We describe the GIT compactification for the moduli space of smooth quintic surfaces in projective space. In particular, we show that a normal quintic surface with at worst an isolated double point or a minimal elliptic singularity is…

In this article, we investigate Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on projective bundles over higher dimensional smooth projective varieties.
