Catanese and Tonoli showed that the maximal cardinality for an even set of nodes on a sextic surface is 56 and they constructed such nodal surfaces. In this paper we give an alternative, rather simple, construction for these surfaces…

We improve a bound due to the second author on number of rational points on smooth surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$ over finite fields and look at families of surfaces that achieve or nearly achieve this bound, for which we compute their exact…

We give a complete equisingular deformation classification of simple spatial quartic surfaces which are in fact $K3$-surfaces.

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 give quantitative and qualitative results on the family of surfaces in $\mathbb{CP}^3$ containing finitely many twistor lines. We start by analyzing the ideal sheaf of a finite set of disjoint lines $E$. We prove that its general element…

In characteristic $p>0$ and for $q$ a power of $p$, we compute the number of nonplanar rational curves of arbitrary degrees on a smooth Hermitian surface of degree $q+1$ under the assumption that the curves have a parametrization given by…

It is well-known that the Fermat surface of degree $d\geq 3$ has $3d^2$ lines. However, it has not yet been established what is the maximal number of pairwise disjoint lines that it can have if $d\geq 4$. In this article we show that the…

This paper investigates the Picard numbers of quintic surfaces. We give the first example of a complex quintic surface in IP^3 with maximum Picard number 45. We also investigate its arithmetic and determine the zeta function. Similar…

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…

We study the family of irreducible curves with $\delta$ nodes belonging to a free linear system $|C|$ with smooth general member on a surface $S$ such that $|K_S|$ is ample. Under the assumption that $C$ is numerically equivalent to $pK_S$,…

Bennett, Carbery and Tao considered the $k$-linear restriction estimate in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and established the near optimal $L^\frac2{k-1}$ estimate under transversality assumptions only. We have shown that the trilinear restriction…

We construct a system of 33 essential simple closed curves that are pairwise non-homotopic and intersect at most once on the oriented, closed surface of genus 3. Moreover, we show that our construction is saturated, in the sense that it is…

For a general cubic fourfold $X \subset \mathbb{P}^5$, we compute the Hodge numbers of the locus $S \subset F$ of lines of second type. We also give an upper bound of 6 for the degree of irrationality of the Fano scheme of lines of any…

We study complex algebraic K3 surfaces with finite automorphism groups and polarized by rank-fourteen, 2-elementary lattices. Three such lattices exist, namely $H \oplus E_8(-1) \oplus A_1(-1)^{\oplus 4}$, $H \oplus E_8(-1) \oplus D_4(-1)$,…

We introduce a notion of good cohomology for multiple lines in $\mathbb{P}^3$ and we classify multiple lines with good cohomology up to multiplicity 4. In particular, we show that the family of space curves of degree d, not lying on a…

We show that K3 surfaces in characteristic 2 can admit sets of $n$ disjoint smooth rational curves whose sum is divisible by 2 in the Picard group, for each $n=8,12,16,20$. More precisely, all values occur on supersingular K3 surfaces, with…

The present paper deals with lines contained in a smooth complex cubic threefold. It is well-known that the set of lines of the second type on a cubic threefold is a curve on its Fano surface. Here we give a description of the singularities…

It was shown by A. Beauville that if the canonical map $\varphi_{|K_M|}$ of a complex smooth projective surface $M$ is generically finite, then ${\rm deg}(\varphi_{|K_M|})\leq 36$. The first example of a surface with canonical degree 36 was…

In this paper we give a general construction of transcendental lattices for K3 surfaces with real multiplication by arbitrary field up to degree 6 along with formula for their discriminants. We also show that all simple Abelian fourfolds…

In this article, we study subloci of solvable curves in $\mathcal{M}_g$ which are contained in either a K3-surface or a quadric or a cubic surface. We give a bound on the dimension of such subloci. In the case of complete intersection genus…
