We study log canonical thresholds (also called global log canonical threshold or $\alpha$-invariant) of $\mathbb{R}$-linear systems. We prove existence of positive lower bounds in different settings, in particular, proving a conjecture of…

We present the complete classification of smooth toric Fano threefolds, known to the algebraic geometry literature, and perform some preliminary analyses in the context of brane-tilings and Chern-Simons theory on M2-branes probing…

We study the existence of Milnor fibration on a big enough sphere at infinity for a mixed polynomial $f: \bR^{2n} \to \bR^2$. By using strong non-degeneracy condition, we prove a counterpart of N\'emethi and Zaharia's fibration theorem. In…

Given a semistable fibration $f\colon X\to B$ we introduce a correspondence between foliations $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$ and local systems $\mathbb{L}$ on $B$. Building up on this correspondence we find conditions that give maximal rationally…

A conjecture of Pukhlikov states that a smooth Fano variety of dimension at least four and index one is birationally rigid. We show that a general member of the linear system given by the ample generator of the Picard group of the moduli…

We investigate topological properties of Calabi-Yau fourfolds and consider a wide class of explicit constructions in weighted projective spaces and, more generally, toric varieties. Divisors which lead to a non-perturbative superpotential…

We describe in purely combinatorial terms dual pairs of integral affine structures on spheres which come from the conjectural metric collapse of mirror families of Calabi-Yau toric hypersurfaces. The same structures arise on the base of a…

We prove that normal projective stable families of maximal variation, of fixed dimension, and with bounded adjoint volume are birationally bounded. This is a consequence of a substantially stronger statement, formulated a priori…

A conjecture, recently stated by Flach and Morin, relates the action of the monodromy on the Galois invariant part of the p-adic Beilinson-Hyodo-Kato cohomology of the generic fiber of a scheme defined over a DVR of mixed characteristic to…

We show that any union of slc strata of a Fano log pair with semi-log canonical singularities is simply connected. In particular, Fano log pairs with semi-log canonical singularities are simply connected, which confirms a conjecture of the…

We investigate the existence, and lack of unicity, of a holomorphic fibration by discs transversal to a rational curve in a complex surface.

Conjectures on the existence of zero-cycles on arbitrary smooth projective varieties over number fields were proposed by Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Sansuc, Kato and Saito in the 1980's. We prove that these conjectures are compatible with…

This paper proposes the use of $F$-split and globally $F$-regular conditions in the pursuit of BAB type results in positive characteristic. The main technical work comes in the form of a detailed study of threefold Mori fibre spaces over…

We construct examples showing that Stein degree of vertical divisors on non-Fano type log Calabi-Yau fibrations is unbounded.

The aim of this note is to settle some foundational questions about the behavior of birational rigidity in extensions of algebraically closed fields.

In this paper, we investigate the boundedness of log pairs with log Calabi--Yau fibration structures. We prove that total spaces of log Calabi--Yau fibrations are bounded modulo crepant birational equivalence when the Iitaka volumes of log…

We construct six-dimensional (6D) F-theory models in which discrete $\mathbb{Z}_5, \mathbb{Z}_4, \mathbb{Z}_3,$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge symmetries arise. We demonstrate that a special family of "Fano 3-folds" is a useful tool for…

We study fibrations by elliptic curves and K3 surfaces of double octic Calabi-Yau threefolds determined by singular lines and points of multiplicity at least 4 of the defining octic arrangement. As a consequence we conclude that every…

We prove that every globally $F$-regular variety is log Fano. In other words, if a prime characteristic variety $X$ is globally $F$-regular, then it admits an effective $\bQ$-divisor $\Delta$ such that $-K_X - \Delta$ is ample and $(X,…

We gather evidence for a conjecture of Galkin predicting the derived category of the Fano variety of lines contained in a smooth cubic fourfold to be equivalent to the Hilbert square of the Kuznetsov component of the derived category of the…
