Two conjectures relating the Kodaira dimension of a smooth projective variety and existence of number of nowhere vanishing 1-forms on the variety are proposed and verified in dimension 3.

In this paper, we prove a positive characteristic analog of Nakayama's inequality on the numerical Kodaira dimension of algebraic fiber spaces when the generic fibers have nef canonical divisors. To this end, we establish variants of Popa…

We study subvarieties of a general projective degree $d$ hypersurface $X_d\subset \mathbf P^n$. Our main theorem, which improves previous results of L. Ein and C. Voisin, implies in particular the following sharp corollary: any subvariety…

The Severi variety V_{n,d} of a smooth projective surface S is defined as the subvariety of the linear system |O_S(n)|, which parametrizes curves with d nodes. We show that, for a general surface S of degree k in P^3 and for all n>k-1,…

In this expository article, we prove a birational classification of smooth projective models of surfaces with negative Kodaira dimension over $\mathbb{Z}$ and over more general rings of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$, depending on their…

We show that if $X$ is a smooth complex projective variety with Kodaira dimension $0$ then the Kodaira dimension of a general fiber of its Albanese map is at most $h^0(\Omega ^1 _X)$.

Suppose that A and B are symplectomorphic smooth affine varieties. If A is acylic of dimension 2 then B has the same log Kodaira dimension as A. If the dimension of A is 3, has log Kodaira dimension 2 and satisfies some other conditions…

A classical result of Miyanishi-Sugie and Keel-McKernan asserts that for smooth affine surfaces, affine-uniruledness is equivalent to affine-ruledness, both properties being in fact equivalent to the negativity of the logarithmic Kodaira…

In this paper, we will prove subadditivity of Kodaira dimensions for a fibration with possibly singular geometric generic fiber, under certain nefness and relative semi-ampleness conditions. As an application, for a fibration $f: X \to Y$…

It is shown that a complex normal projective variety has non-positive Kodaira dimension if it admits a non-isomorphic quasi-polarized endomorphism. The geometric structure of the variety is described by methods of equivariant lifting and…

We show that every holomorphic one-form on a smooth complex projective variety of general type must vanish at some point. The proof uses generic vanishing theory for Hodge D-modules on abelian varieties.

We consider the moduli space $A_{pol}(n)$ of (non-principally) polarised abelian varieties of genus $g\geq3$ with coprime polarisation and full level-$n$ structure. Based upon the analysis of the Tits building in math/0405321, we give an…

Let X be a smooth, projective variety over the field of complex numbers. Here we focus on a conjecture attributed to Shigefumi Mori, which claims that X is uniruled if and only if the Kodaira dimension of X is negative.

We exhibit a class of extendable codimension $2$ subvarieties in a general hypersurface of dimension at least $4$ in projective space. As a consequence, we prove that a general hypersurface of degree $d$ and dimension at least $4$ does not…

Here we introduce the concept of special effect varieties in higher dimension and we generalize to the n-dimensional projective space, n>=3, the two conjectures given in AG/0410527 for the planar case. Finally, we propose some examples on…

A smooth complex variety satisfies the Generalized Jacobian Conjecture if all its \'etale endomorphisms are proper. We study the conjecture for $\mathbb{Q}$-acyclic surfaces of negative Kodaira dimension. We show that $G$-equivariant…

We study the dimensions of Hadamard products of $k\ge 3$ varieties if we allow to modify $k-1$ of them by the action of a general projective linear transformation. We also prove that the join of a variety not contained in a coordinate…

We study the Kodaira dimension of Kuga varieties $\mathcal{X}^n_p$ associated to the moduli spaces $\mathcal{A}_p$ of $(1, p)$-polarised abelian surfaces with level structure for prime $p \geq 3$.

We introduce a new obstruction to the existence of a universal $0$-cycle on a smooth projective complex variety. As an application, we construct a smooth projective complex surface whose Chow group of $0$-cycles is representable but which…

The goals of this paper are of two aspects. Firstly, we introduce the notion of generalized numerical Kodaira dimension with multiplier ideal sheaf and establish the subadditivity inequalities in terms of this notion, which can be used to…
