We study log canonical models of foliated surfaces of general type. In particular, we show that log canonical models of general type and their minimal partial du Val resolutions are bounded. Moreover, we show the valuative criteria of…

Mukai proved that the moduli space of simple sheaves on a smooth projective K3 surface is symplectic, and in \cite{FM2} we gave two constructions allowing one to construct new locally closed Lagrangian/isotropic subspaces of the moduli from…

With an explicit example, we confirm a conjecture by Neumann and Wahl that there exist cusps with no Galois cover by a complete intersection. Some computational techniques are reviewed, and a method for deciding whether a given cusp has a…

We give a canonical synthetic construction of the mirror family to a pair (Y,D) of a smooth projective surface with an anti-canonical cycle of rational curves, as the spectrum of an explicit algebra defined in terms of counts of rational…

We classify all possible automorphism groups of smooth cubic surfaces over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. As an intermediate step we also classify automorphism groups of quartic del Pezzo surfaces. We show that…

We prove that a generic linear cocycle over a minimal base dynamics of finite dimension has the property that the Oseledets splitting with respect to any invariant probability coincides almost everywhere with the finest dominated splitting.…

This is the revised version of our previous preprint. In this paper, we establish a generic smoothness result for moduli space of semistable sheaves of arbitrary rank over surfaces provided that the second Chern class of the sheaves is…

We show that the moduli spaces of bounded global $\mathcal{G}$-Shtukas with pairwise colliding legs admit $p$-adic uniformization isomorphisms by Rapoport-Zink spaces. Here $\mathcal{G}$ is a smooth affine group scheme with connected fibers…

A number of techniques in Lorentzian geometry, such as those used in the proofs of singularity theorems, depend on certain smooth coverings retaining interesting global geometric properties, including causal ones. In this note we give…

We study interactions between the categories of $\D$-modules on smooth and singular varieties. For a large class of singular varieties $Y$, we use an extension of the Grothendieck--Sato formula to show that $\D_Y$-modules are equivalent to…

Building on results of Koll\'ar, we prove Shokurov's ACC Conjecture for log canonical thresholds on smooth varieties, and more generally, on varieties with quotient singularities.

Any moduli space of representations of a quiver (possibly with oriented cycles) has an embedding as a dense open subvariety into a moduli space of representations of a bipartite quiver having the same type of singularities. A connected…

We study moduli of semistable twisted sheaves on smooth proper morphisms of algebraic spaces. In the case of a relative curve or surface, we prove results on the structure of these spaces. For curves, they are essentially isomorphic to…

Generalizing the well-known Shafarevich hyperbolicity conjecture, it has been conjectured by Viehweg that a quasi-projective manifold that admits a generically finite morphism to the moduli stack of canonically polarized varieties is…

We give a bound on which singularities may appear on Koll\'ar--Shepherd-Barron--Alexeev stable surfaces for a wide range of topological invariants and use this result to describe all stable numerical quintic surfaces (KSBA-stable surfaces…

In this paper, we analyze the Hessian locus associated to a general cubic hypersurface, by describing for every $n$ its singular locus and its desingularization. The strategy is based on strong connections between the Hessian and the…

We explore the connection between the rank of a polynomial and the singularities of its vanishing locus. We first describe the singularity of generic polynomials of fixed rank. We then focus on cubic surfaces. Cubic surfaces with isolated…

We study stacks of slope-semistable twisted sheaves on orbisurfaces with projective coarse spaces and prove that in certain cases they have many of the asymptotic properties enjoyed by the moduli of slope-semistable sheaves on smooth…

Using log geometry, we study smoothability of genus zero twisted stable maps to stacky curves relative to a collection of marked points. One application is to smoothing semi-log canonical fibered surfaces with marked singular fibers.

For a weighted quasihomogeneous two dimensional hypersurface singularity, we define a smoothing with unipotent monodromy and an isolated graded normal singularity. We study the natural weighted blow up of both the smoothing and the surface.…
