We show that a weak version of the canonical bundle formula holds for fibrations of relative dimension one. We provide various applications thereof, for instance, using the recent result of Xu and Zhang, we prove the log non-vanishing…

In his paper "On the Schlafli differential equality", J. Milnor conjectured that the volume of n-dimensional hyperbolic and spherical simplices, as a function of the dihedral angles, extends continuously to the closure of the space of…

Motivated by the study of Fano type varieties we define a new class of log pairs that we call asymptotically log Fano varieties and strongly asymptotically log Fano varieties. We study their properties in dimension two under an additional…

We generalize to arbitrary dimension our previous construction of simply connected weakly-special but not special varieties. We show that they satisfy the function field and complex analytic part of Campana's conjecture. Moreover, we give…

It is conjectured that the dual variety of every smooth nonlinear subvariety of dimension $> \frac{2N}{3}$ in projective $N$-space is a hypersurface, an expectation known as the duality defect conjecture. This would follow from the truth of…

We show that any $p$-form on the smooth locus of a normal complex space extends to a resolution of singularities, possibly with logarithmic poles, as long as $p \le \mathrm{codim}_X (X_{\mathrm{sg}}) - 2$, where $c$ is the codimension of…

We study polynomial SL-invariants of tensors, mainly focusing on fundamental invariants which are of smallest degrees. In particular, we prove that certain 3-dimensional analogue of the Alon--Tarsi conjecture on Latin cubes considered…

We observe what the canonical bundle formula gives towards a conjecture of Schnell on algebraic fiber spaces, a question concerning the equivalence between the non-vanishing conjecture and the Campana--Peternell conjecture. As a result, we…

Let X be a Fano variety of dimension n, pseudoindex i_X and Picard number \rho_X. A generalization of a conjecture of Mukai says that \rho_X(i_X-1)\le n. We prove that the conjecture holds if: a) X has pseudoindex i_X \ge \frac{n+3}{3} and…

In this paper, we study the descent of positivity of the canonical bundle along fiber spaces. As a consequence, we prove a conjecture of Schnell, establishing the equivalence between the Non-vanishing Conjecture and its generalized version…

In our previous work we conjectured - inspired by an algebro-geometric result of Fujita - that the height of an arithmetic Fano variety X of relative dimension $n$ is maximal when X is the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n_{\mathbb{Z}}$ over…

In this article we show that if $(X, \Delta)$ is a log canonical compact K\"ahler threefold pair such that $K_X+\Delta$ is nef and the numerical dimension $\nu(X, K_X+\Delta)=2$, then $K_X+\Delta$ is semi-ample. This result combined with…

We study the Lane-Emden conjecture, which asserts the non-existence of non-trivial, non-negative solutions to the Lane-Emden system \[ -\Delta u = v^p, \quad -\Delta v = u^q, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}^n\] in the subcritical regime. By…

We construct a family of fibered threefolds $X_m \to (S , \Delta)$ such that $X_m$ has no \'etale cover that dominates a variety of general type but it dominates the orbifold $(S,\Delta)$ of general type. Following Campana, the threefolds…

We prove an extension of the well-known combinatorial-topological lemma of E. Sperner to the case of infinite-dimensional cubes. It is obtained as a corollary to an infinitary extension of the Lebesgue Covering Dimension Theorem.

We prove a Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem on a normal compact Kahler space X: if L is a nef line bundle with numerical dimension at least equal to 2, then the q-th cohomology group of K_X+L vanishes for q at least equal to the dimension…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be an $n$-dimensional $\epsilon$-klt log $\QQ$-Fano pair. We give an upper bound for the volume ${\rm Vol}(-(K_X+\Delta))=(-(K_X+\Delta))^n$ when $n=2$ or $n=3$ and $X$ is {$\QQ$-factorial} of $\rho(X)=1$. This bound is…

For a smooth, projective family of homogeneous varieties defined over a number field, we show that if potential density holds for the rational points of the base, then it also holds for the total space. A conjecture of Campana and…

We prove Weak Borisov--Alexeev--Borisov Conjecture in dimension three which states that the anti-canonical volume of an $\epsilon$-klt log Fano pair of dimension three is bounded from above.

In this article, we investigate Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on projective bundles over higher dimensional smooth projective varieties.
