In this article, we explore the extremal contractions of several projective bundles over smooth Fano varieties of Picard rank $1$. We provide a whole class of examples of projective bundles with smooth blow-up structures, derived from the…

We classify all smooth projective horospherical varieties with Picard number 1. We prove that the automorphism group of any such variety X acts with at most two orbits and that this group still acts with only two orbits on X blown up at the…

In this paper we classify varieties of Picard number two having two projective bundle structures of any relative dimension, under the assumption that these structures are mutually uniform. As an application we prove the Campana--Peternell…

We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo $p^2$ - we expect that such varieties, after a finite \'etale cover, admit a toric fibration over…

In the following work, an attempt to conciliate the Ricci flow conjecture and the Cobordism conjecture, stated as refinements of the Swampland distance conjecture and of the No global symmetries conjecture respectively, is presented. This…

We give complete geometric invariants of cobordisms of framed fold maps. These invariants consist of two types. We take the immersion of the fold singular set into the target manifold together with information about non-triviality of the…

We describe smooth projective horospherical varieties with Picard number 1. Moreover we prove that the automorphism group of any such variety acts with at most two orbits and we give a geometric characterisation of non-homogeneous ones.

We construct and study a theory of bivariant cobordism of derived schemes. Our theory provides a vast generalization of the algebraic bordism theory of characteristic 0 algebraic schemes, constructed earlier by Levine and Morel, and a…

For every complete toric variety, there exists a projective toric variety which is isomorphic to it in codimension one. In this paper, we show that every smooth non-projective complete toric threefold of Picard number at most five becomes…

We prove the conjecture that two projective symplectic resolutions for a symplectic variety $W$ are related by Mukai's elementary transformations over $W$ in codimension 2 in the following cases: (i). nilpotent orbit closures in a classical…

We extend the derived Algebraic bordism of Lowrey and Sch\"urg to a bivariant theory in the sense of Fulton and MacPherson, and establish some of its basic properties. As a special case, we obtain a completely new theory of cobordism rings…

When can a map between manifolds be deformed away from itself? We describe a (normal bordism) obstruction which is often computable and in general much stronger than the classical primary obstruction in cohomology. In particular, it answers…

We construct explicit examples of elementary extremal contractions, both birational and of fiber type, from smooth projective n-dimensional varieties, n\geq 4, onto smooth projective varieties, arising from classical projective geometry and…

Given a general K3 surface S of degree 18, lattice theoretic considerations allow to predict the existence of an anti-symplectic birational involution $\phi$ of the Hilbert cube $S^{[3]}$. We describe this involution in terms of the Mukai…

For any integer $k$ we construct an explicit example of a twistor space which contains a one--parameter family of jumping rational curves, where the normal bundle changes from $O(1)+O(1)$ to $O(k)+O(2-k)$. For $k>3$ the resulting…

We introduce the notion of primitive Ulrich bundle in a smooth projective variety. We motivate this notion and give a cohomological characterization in the case of the degree $6$ flag threefold and rational normal scrolls. Finally we…

We present an explicit construction of tilting bundles on cotangent bundles of Grassmannians of 2-planes. This construction is based on Kapranov's exceptional collection for the underlying Grassmannians, and utilizes specific iterative…

We study surjective endomorphisms of projective bundles over toric varieties, achieving three main results. First, we provide a structural theorem describing endomorphisms of projectivized split bundles over arbitrary base varieties, which…

Hopf conjectured that even-dimensional closed Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature have positive Euler characteristic. The conclusion of the conjecture is known to fail if the positive sectional curvature assumption is…

We prove the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for complex surface singularities of genus one, and also for those of genus two whose link is not a rational homology sphere. As an application, we characterize complex $2$-tori as the only normal…
