We consider fibrations of genus 2 over complex surfaces. The purpose of this paper is primarily to provide a geometric description of the possible structures of the fibration on a neighborhood of a singular fiber. In particular it is shown…

We classify lagrangian fibrations on Nikulin orbifolds, a well studied class of singular irreducible holomorphic symplectic varieties, and prove they verify the SYZ conjecture.

Koll\'ar proved that a very general $n$-dimensional complex hypersurface of degree at least $3\lceil (n+3)/4\rceil$ is not birational to a fibration in rational curves. This is most interesting when the hypersurface is Fano, in which case…

In order to understand the deformations of determinants and Pfaffians resulting from deformations of matrices, we study the deformation theory of composites $f\circ F$, with isolated singularities, where $f:Y\to\C$ has Cohen-Macaulay…

In this paper we extend to the singular setting the theory of Fano foliations developed in our previous paper. A Q-Fano foliation on a complex projective variety X is a foliation F whose anti-canonical class is an ample Q-Cartier divisor.…

We present two proofs for a bound on the rank of the Mordell-Weil group of some elliptic fibrations. The bounds apply to Calabi-Yau varieties, which are also of interest to the physics of string theory. We prove explicit bounds for…

We investigate the relationship between the Fano type property on fibers over a Zariski dense subset and the global Fano type property. We establish the invariance of N\'eron-Severi spaces, nef cones, effective cones, movable cones, and…

This is a short introduction to the study of compactifications of F-theory on elliptic Calabi-Yau threefolds near colliding singularities. In particular we consider the case of non-transversal intersections of the singular fibers.

The Doran-Harder-Thompson "gluing/splitting" conjecture unifies mirror symmetry conjectures for Calabi-Yau and Fano varieties, relating fibration structures on Calabi-Yau varieties to the existence of certain types of degenerations on their…

We develop some techniques to study the adiabatic limiting behaviour of Calabi-Yau metrics on the total space of a fibration, and obtain strong control near the singular fibres by imposing restrictions on the singularity types. We prove a…

We describe the singular fibers of a parabolic fibration $f:X\to Y$ whose moduli divisor $M_Y$ is numerically trivial and discriminant divisor $B_Y$ is zero.

In this paper, we generalise the theory of complements to log canonical log fano varieties and prove boundedness of complements for them in dimension less than or equal to 3. We also prove some boundedness results for the canonical index of…

In this paper, we give some results on the birational geometry of varieties of Fano type and boundedness problems in positive characteristic, including a result ensuring that boundedness is invariant under normalizations, a canonical bundle…

Either fibered knots supporting the tight contact structure are unique in their smooth concordance class or there exists a fibered counterexample to the Slice-Ribbon Conjecture.

This note is about cycle-theoretic properties of the Fano variety of lines on a smooth cubic fivefold. The arguments are based on the fact that this Fano variety has finite-dimensional motive. We also present some results concerning Chow…

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…

In this paper, we apply Borcea--Voisin's construction and give new examples of Calabi--Yau fourfolds $Y$, which admit an elliptic fibration onto a smooth threefold $V$, whose singular fibers of type $I_5$ lie above a del Pezzo surface $dP…

Let $Z$ be a Fano variety satisfying the condition that the rank of the Grothendieck group of $Z$ is one more than the dimension of $Z$. Let $\omega_Z$ denote the total space of the canonical line bundle of $Z$, considered as a non-compact…

We consider (holomorphic) Lagrangian fibrations X->P^n that satisfy some natural hypotheses. We prove that there are only finitely many such Lagrangian fibrations up to deformation.

This survey is the continuation of a series of works aimed at applying tools from Singularity Theory to Differential Equations. More precisely, we utilize the powerfull Milnor's Fibration Theory to give geometric-topological classifications…
