The disk complex of a surface in a 3-manifold is used to define its {\it topological index}. Surfaces with well-defined topological index are shown to generalize well-known classes, such as incompressible, strongly irreducible, and critical…

Given a resolution of rational singularities $\pi\colon \tilde{X} \to X$ over a field of characteristic zero we use a Hodge-theoretic argument to prove that the image of the functor $\mathbf{R}\pi_*\colon \mathbf{D}(\tilde{X}) \to…

We prove a general theorem that gives a non trivial relation in the group of derived autoequivalences of a variety (or stack) X, under the assumption that there exists a suitable functor from the derived category of another variety Y…

Given a K3 surface X over a field of characteristic p, Artin conjectured that if X is supersingular (meaning infinite height) then its Picard rank is 22. Along with work of Nygaard-Ogus, this conjecture implies the Tate conjecture for K3…

Chisini's conjecture asserts that for a cuspidal curve $B\subset \mathbb P^2$ a generic morphism $f$ of a smooth projective surface onto $\mathbb P^2$ of degree $\geq 5$, branched along $B$, is unique up to isomorphism. We prove that if…

In the toric variety $\mathcal{T}$, with Cox ring graded by $\deg(z_{2i})=(1,-1,0)$, $\deg(z_{2i+1})=(1,0,-1)$ and $\deg(w_\pm)=(0,1,0),(0,0,1)$, we study hypersurfaces $\widetilde{X}^{2n}\subset\mathcal T$ of multidegree $(2d+1,-d,-d)$…

In this paper, we prove that each automorphism of the Torelli group of a surface is induced by a diffeomorphism of the surface, provided that the surface is a closed, connected, orientable surface of genus at least 3. This result was…

We study a variation of Turaev's homotopy quantum field theories using 2-categories of surfaces. We define the homotopy surface 2-category of a space $X$ and define an $\cS_X$-structure to be a monoidal 2-functor from this to the 2-category…

Hrushovski's generalization and application of [Jouanolou, "Hypersurfaces solutions d'une \'equation de Pfaff analytique", Mathematische Annalen, 232 (3):239--245, 1978] is here refined and extended to the partial differential setting with…

We construct a new autoequivalence of the derived category of the Hilbert scheme of n points on a K3 surface, and of the variety of lines on a smooth cubic 4-fold. For Hilb^2 and the variety of lines, we use the theory of spherical…

A classical result of Bondal-Orlov states that a standard flip in birational geometry gives rise to a fully faithful functor between derived categories of coherent sheaves. We complete their embedding into a semiorthogonal decomposition by…

Under a hypothesis on $k$, $d$ and $n$ that is almost the best possible, we prove that for every smooth degree $d$ hypersurface in $P^n$, the $k$-plane sections dominate the moduli space of degree $d$ hypersurface in $P^k$. Using this we…

We prove that there exist hypersurfaces that contain a given closed subscheme $Z$ of the projective space over a finite field and intersect a given smooth scheme $X$ off of $Z$ smoothly, if the intersection $V = Z \cap X$ is smooth.…

For a projective variety $Z$ and for any integer $p$, define the $p$-th N\'eron-Severi group $NS_p(Z)$ of $Z$ as the image of the cycle map $A_{p}(Z)\to H_{2p}(Z; \mathbb{C})$. Now let $X\subset \Ps^{2m+1}$ ($m\geq 1$) be a projective…

Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve of genus at least two defined over a number field $K$. We prove that there is an algorithm that determines whether $X$ has a $K$-rational point if Grothendieck's section…

We consider the scheme $X_{r,d,n}$ parametrizing $n$ ordered points in projective space $\mathbb{P}^r$ that lie on a common hypersurface of degree $d$. We show that this scheme has a determinantal structure and we prove that it is…

We develop the idea of a supersymmetric monoidal supercategory, following ideas of Kapranov. Roughly, this is a monoidal category in which the objects and morphisms are ${\bf Z}/2$-graded, equipped with isomorphisms $X \otimes Y \to Y…

We compute divisors class groups of singular surfaces. Most notably we produce an exact sequence that relates the Cartier divisors and almost Cartier divisors of a surface to the those of its normalization. This generalizes Hartshorne's…

Let $(X,x_0)$ be any one--pointed compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g$, with $g\geq 3$. Fix two mutually coprime integers $r>1$ and $d$. Let ${\mathcal M}_X$ denote the moduli space parametrizing all logarithmic…

Let C be a triangulated category with a Serre functor S and X a non-zero contravariantly finite rigid subcategory of C. Then X is cluster tilting if and only if the quotient category C/X is abelian and S(X)=X[2]. As an application, this…
