We introduce an axiomatic definition for the Kodaira dimension and classify Thurston geometries in dimensions $\leq 5$ in terms of this Kodaira dimension. We show that the Kodaira dimension is monotone with respect to the partial order…

We study the Kodaira dimension of the compactified n-fold Kuga variety over the moduli space of principally polarised abelian g-folds. We construct a suitable compactification, which we call a Namikawa compactification, and show that in…

We construct smooth complex projective varieties of dimension 3 to 6 with variations of Hodge structure, by generalizing an example of J. Carlson and C. Simpson in dimension 2. Then, we study some of their properties, in particular their…

This paper generalizes the easy addition formula. Given a normal variety $X$ with an invertible sheaf $L$, inequalities are found bounding $\ka(X,L)$ from above based on the behavior of $L$ restricted to a subvariety or to a pair of…

We prove a numerical characterization of $\mathbb{P}^n$ for varieties with at worst isolated local complete intersection quotient singularities. In dimension three, we prove such a numerical characterization of $\mathbb{P}^3$ for normal…

We obtain a precise relation between the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a subvariety of projective space and the Euler characteristics of its general linear sections. In the case of a hypersurface, this leads to simple proofs of…

We study Fano fourfolds of K3 type with a conic bundle structure. We construct direct geometrical links between these fourfolds and hyperK\"ahler varieties. As a result we describe families of nodal surfaces that can be seen as…

Linearly projecting smooth projective varieties provides a method of obtaining hypersurfaces birational to the original varieties. We show that in low dimension, the resulting hypersurfaces only have Du Bois singularities. Moreover, we…

We study deformations of rational curves and their singularities in positive characteristic. We use this to prove that if a smooth and proper surface in positive characteristic $p$ is dominated by a family of rational curves such that one…

We compute the Kodaira dimension of the universal Picard variety P_{d,g} parameterizing line bundles of degree d on curves of genus g under the assumption that (d-g+1,2g-2)=1. We also give partial results for arbitrary degrees d and we…

It is in general unknown which topological complex vector bundles on a non-algebraic surface admit holomorphic structures. We solve this problem for primary Kodaira surfaces by using results of Kani on curves of genus two with elliptic…

In this paper we present, for any integers $0\leq \nu \leq n$, a set of inequalities satisfied by the Chern classes of any minimal complex projective variety of dimension $n$ and numerical dimension $\nu$. In the cases where $\nu$ is either…

We consider holomorphic foliations of dimension $k>1$ and codimension $\geq 1$ in the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$, with a compact connected component of the Kupka set. We prove that, if the transversal type is linear with positive…

Let $X^n \subset P^N$ be a nonsingular, nondegenerate projective variety of dimension $n$ and codimension $N-n \ge 2$. Let $|C_X|$ be the linear system determined by the double-point divisor obtained by generically projecting $X$ to a…

Let A be an indecomposable principally polarized abelian variety of dimension g . Third order theta functions embed A in a projective space P(V_3), while second order theta functions embed the Kummer variety K=A/<-1> in a projective space…

We give estimates on the Kodaira dimension for fibrations over abelian varieties, and give some applications. One of the results strengthens the subadditivity of Kodaira dimension of fibrations over abelian varieties.

The affine cancellation problem, which asks whether complex affine varieties with isomorphic cylinders are themselves isomorphic, has a positive solution for two dimensional varieties whose coordinate rings are unique factorization domains,…

For any $n\geq 3$, we prove that there exist equivalences between these apparently unrelated objects: irreducible $n$-dimensional non degenerate projective varieties $X\subset \mathbb P^{2n+1}$ different from rational normal scrolls and…

In this paper, we prove that for a fibration $f:X\to Z$ from a smooth projective 3-fold to a smooth projective curve, over an algebraically closed field $k$ with $\mathrm{char} k =p >5$, if the geometric generic fiber $X_{\overline\eta}$ is…
