We establish two consequences of the Kawamata--Morrison--Totaro cone conjecture, and prove them unconditionally in all dimensions. First, for a K-trivial variety, the natural action of its automorphism group on the set of ample divisor…

This article is concerned with the convexity properties of universal covers of projective varieties. We study the relation between the convexity properties of the universal cover of X and the properties of the pullback map sending vector…

Using the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet theorem, we establish a sharp inequality for the total Gauss-Kronecker curvature of convex hypersurfaces in Cartan-Hadamard manifolds $M^n$ with nullity index at least $n-3$. Consequently, the Euclidean…

Based on uniform CR Sobolev inequality and Moser iteration, this paper investigates the convergence of closed pseudo-Hermitian manifolds. In terms of the subelliptic inequality, the set of closed normalized pseudo-Einstein manifolds with…

We show that if the universal cover of a closed smooth manifold admitting a metric with non-negative Ricci curvature is formal, then the manifold itself is formal. We reprove a result of Fiorenza-Kawai-L\^e-Schwachh\"ofer, that closed…

The works of Commichau--Grauert and Hirschowitz showed that a formal equivalence between embeddings of a compact complex manifold is convergent, if the embeddings have sufficiently positive normal bundles in a suitable sense. We show that…

Using methods from coarse topology we show that fundamental classes of closed enlargeable manifolds map non-trivially both to the rational homology of their fundamental groups and to the K-theory of the corresponding reduced C*-algebras.…

We provide a reduction in the classification problem for non-compact, homogeneous, Einstein manifolds. Using this work, we verify the (Generalized) Alekseevskii Conjecture for a large class of homogeneous spaces.

We follow the study by Cascini-Panov on symplectic generic complex structures on Kahler surfaces with $p_g=0$, a question proposed by Tian-Jun Li, by demonstrating that the one-point blowup of an Enriques surface admits non-Kahler…

We give an proof on the Weinstein conjecture on the cotangent bundles of open manifolds. Its proof is based on Gromov's nonlinear Fredholm alternative.

We prove, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, the Andre-Oort conjecture for Hilbert modular surfaces. More precisely, let K be a real quadratic field and let S be the coarse moduli space of complex abelian surfaces with…

Let X be a compact K\"ahler manifold whose universal covering is $\mathbb C^n$. A conjecture of Iitaka claims that X is a torus, up to finite \'etale cover. We prove this conjecture in various cases in dimension four. We also show that in…

We study the existence of branched coverings between closed $3$-manifolds, with emphasis on universal knots and links. We prove that the only closed $3$-manifolds that admit a universal link are spherical. Furthermore, we distinguish…

We show some geometric properties of Enriques surfaces via $\mathbb Q$-Gorenstein smoothings of Coble surfaces. In particular, we explicitly identify the Enriques lattice of the general fiber with the Coble-Mukai lattice. At the end, we…

We complete our study of linear series on curves lying on an Enriques surface by showing that, with the exception of smooth plane quintics, there are no exceptional curves on Enriques surfaces, that is, curves for which the Clifford index…

Let $X_1$ and $X_2$ be deformation equivalent projective hyperk\"ahler manifolds. We prove that the Andr\'e motive of $X_1$ is abelian if and only if the Andr\'e motive of $X_2$ is abelian. Applying this to manifolds of $\mbox{K3}^{[n]}$,…

Following and developing ideas of R. Karasev (Covering dimension using toric varieties, arXiv:1307.3437), we extend the Lebesgue theorem (on covers of cubes) and the Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz theorem (on covers of simplices) to…

Making suitable generalizations of known results we prove some general facts about Gaussian maps. The above are then used, in the second part of the article, to give a set of conditions that insure the surjectivity of Gaussian maps for…

Let $\bar{Y}$ be a normal surface that is the canonical $\mu_2$- or $\alpha_2$-covering of a classical or supersingular Enriques surface in characteristic $2$. We determine all possible configurations of singularities on $\bar{Y}$, and for…

For a branched cover between two closed orientable surfaces, the Riemann-Hurwitz formula relates the Euler characteristics of the surfaces, the total degree of the cover, and the total length of the partitions of the degree given by the…
