We study rational surfaces having an even set of disjoint $(-4)$-curves. The properties of the surface $S$ obtained by considering the double cover branched on the even set are studied. It is shown, that contrarily to what happens for even…

We investigate the pseudo-hyperk\"ahler geometry of higher degree rational curves in the twistor space of a hyperk\"ahler $4$-manifold.

We initiate the study of random iteration of automorphisms of real and complex projective surfaces, or more generally compact K{\"a}hler surfaces, focusing on the fundamental problem of classification of stationary measures. We show that,…

We study the inertia groups of some smooth rational curves on 2-elementary K3 surfaces and singular K3 surfaces from the view of topological entropy, with an application to a long standing open question of Coble on the inertia group of a…

We present an algorithm for computing curves and families of curves of prescribed degree and geometric genus on real rational surfaces.

We show that on every elliptic K3 surface $X$ there are rational curves $(R_i)_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$ such that $R_i^2 \to \infty$, i.e., of unbounded arithmetic genus. Moreover, we show that the union of the lifts of these curves to…

This is an expository paper which presents the holomorphic classification of rational complex surfaces from a simple and intuitive point of view, which is not found in the literature. Our approach is to compare this classification with the…

We give a simple proof of the statement that every rational curve in the primitive class of a general K3 surface is nodal.

We answer some enumerative questions about irreducible rational curves on Hirzebruch surfaces, by combining an idea of Kontsevich with the study of the geometry of certain natural parameter spaces. Our formulas generalize Kontsevich's…

We show several examples of integrable systems related to special K3 and rational surfaces (e.g., an elliptic K3 surface, a K3 surface given by a double covering of the projective plane, a rational elliptic surface, etc.). The construction,…

We give an upper bound for the degree of rational curves in a family that covers a given birational ruled surface in projective space. The upper bound is stated in terms of the degree, sectional genus and arithmetic genus of the surface. We…

We point out how some recent developments in the theory of constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics can be used to clarify the existence issue for such metrics in the special case of geometrically ruled complex surfaces.

We give a few explicit examples which answer an open minded question of Professor Igor Dolgachev on complex dynamics of the inertia group of a smooth rational curve on a projective K3 surface and its variants for a rational surface and a…

For any positive integer $r$, we construct a smooth complex projective rational surface which has at least $r$ real forms not isomorphic over $\mathbb{R}$.

We proved that the union of rational curves is dense on a very general K3 surface and the union of elliptic curves is dense in the 1st jet space of a very general K3 surface, both in the strong topology.

We prove the rationality of the coarse moduli spaces of Coble surfaces and of nodal Enriques surfaces over the field of complex numbers.

We prove some results on the fibers and images of rational maps from a hyper-K\"ahler manifold. We study in particular the minimal genus of fibers of a fibration into curves. The last section of this paper is devoted to the study of the…

We discuss our recent results on the existence and classification problem of complex and Kaehler structures on compact solvmanifolds. In particular, we determine in this paper all the complex surfaces which are diffeomorphic to compact…

We calculate the automorphism group of certain Enriques surfaces. The Enriques surfaces that we investigate include very general $n$-nodal Enriques surfaces and very general cuspidal Enriques surfaces. We also describe the action of the…

We investigate the following conjecture: all compact non-K\"ahler complex surfaces admit birational structures. After Inoue-Kobayashi-Ochiai, the remaining cases to study are essentially surfaces in class VII_0^+. In case of Kato surfaces…
