We prove some basic properties of the relative Nakayama-Zariski decomposition. We apply them to the study of lc generalized pairs. We prove the existence of log minimal models or Mori fiber spaces for (relative) lc generalized pairs…

Given an NQC log canonical generalized pair $(X,B+M)$ whose underlying variety $X$ is not necessarily $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial, we show that one may run a $(K_X+B+M)$-MMP with scaling of an ample divisor which terminates, provided that…

Stratified flops show up in the birational geometry of symplectic varieties such as resolutions of nilpotent orbits and moduli spaces of sheaves. Constructing derived equivalences between varieties related by such flops is, strangely…

We prove that many of the results of the LMMP hold for $3$-folds over fields of characteristic $p>5$ which are not necessarily perfect. In particular, the existence of flips, the cone theorem, the contraction theorem for birational extremal…

We will prove the following results for $3$-fold pairs $(X,B)$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>5$: log flips exist for $\Q$-factorial dlt pairs $(X,B)$; log minimal models exist for projective klt pairs $(X,B)$…

In this short note, we classify pairs of conjugacy classes of the symmetric group such that any non-linear irreducible character of the symmetric group vanishes on at least one of them.

In this paper, we discuss a proof of existence of log minimal models or Mori fibre spaces for klt pairs $(X/Z,B)$ with $B$ big$/Z$. This then implies existence of klt log flips, finite generation of klt log canonical rings, and most of the…

We prove that one can run the log minimal model program for log canonical $3$-fold pairs in characteristic $p>5$. In particular we prove the Cone Theorem, Contraction Theorem, the existence of flips and the existence of log minimal models…

This article concerns a class of generalized linear mixed models for clustered data, where the random effects are mapped uniquely onto the grouping structure and are independent between groups. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions…

We characterize the smallest finite spaces with the same homotopy groups of the spheres. Similarly, we describe the minimal finite models of any finite graph. We also develop new combinatorial techniques based on finite spaces to study…

We prove several results relating the nonvanishing and the existence of good minimal models of different pairs that have the same underlying variety.

Several coupled maps models are sketched and reviewed in this short communication. First, a discrete logistic type model that was proposed for the symbiotic interaction of two species. Second, a model of many of these symbiotic species…

Given a minuscule representation of a simple Lie algebra, we find an algebraic model for the action of a regular element and show that these models can be glued together over the adjoint quotient, viewed as the set of all regular conjugacy…

Blowing up a rational surface singularity in a reflexive module gives a (any) partial resolution dominated by the minimal resolution. The main theorem shows how deformations of the pair (singularity, module) relates to deformations of the…

We present here a more general version of the balanced pair algorithm. This version works in the reducible case and terminates more often than the standard algorithm. We present examples to illustrate this point. Lastly, we discuss the…

For ordinary flops, the correspondence defined by the graph closure is shown to give equivalence of Chow motives and to preserve the Poincar\'e pairing. In the case of simple ordinary flops, this correspondence preserves the big quantum…

We prove the finiteness of $B$-representations of generalised log canonical pairs. As a consequence, we prove that, the (relative) abundance for a generalised semi-log canonical pair is implied by the abundance for its normalisation.…

We use reduction maps to study the minimal model program. Our main result is that the existence of a good minimal model for a klt pair $(X,\Delta)$ can be detected on the base of the $(K_{X}+\Delta)$-trivial reduction map. Thus we show that…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a normal pair with a projective morphism $X \to Z$ and let $A$ be a relatively ample $\mathbb{R}$-divisor on $X$. We prove the termination of some minimal model program on $(X,\Delta+A)/Z$ and the abundance conjecture…

A simple graphical model for correlated defaults is proposed, with explicit formulas for the loss distribution. Algebraic geometry techniques are employed to show that this model is well posed for default dependence: it represents any given…
