We prove Grauert-Riemenschneider-type vanishing theorems for excellent dlt threefolds pairs whose closed points have perfect residue fields of positive characteristic $p>5$. Then we discuss applications to dlt singularities and to Mori…
The goal of this work is to study the smoothings of singular coaxial intersections of ellipsoids (where coaxial includes concentric) with generic singularities, with special attention to the 3-dimensional case.
We provide a classification of complete improper affine spheres with singularities (say \emph{improper affine fronts}) in unimodular affine three-space $\boldsymbol{R}^3$ whose total curvature is greater than or equal to $-6\pi$, and a…
We determine and list all possible configurations of singular fibres on rational elliptic surfaces in characteristic three. In total, we find that 267 distinct configurations exist. This result complements Miranda and Persson's…
We survey determinantal singularities, their deformations, and their topology. This class of singularities generalizes the well studied case of complete intersections in several different aspects, but exhibits a plethora of new phenomena…
We prove that the stable endomorphism rings of rigid objects in a suitable Frobenius category have only finitely many basic algebras in their derived equivalence class and that these are precisely the stable endomorphism rings of objects…
We study the reflectional symmetry of a surface in the Euclidean 3-dimensional space with a cross-cap singularity with respect to planes. This symmetry is picked up by the singularities of folding maps on the cross-cap. We give a list of…
We give explicit, highly symmetric equations for the versal deformation of the singularity $L_{n+1}^n$ consisting of n+1 lines through the origin in n-dimensional affine space in generic position. These make evident that the base space of…
We study curve singularities in a smooth surface relative to a smooth boundary curve. We consider the semiuniversal deformations and equisingular deformations of curves with a fixed local intersection number $w$ with the boundary, and prove…
There has been a lot of interests in Positive Mass Theorems for singular metrics on smooth manifolds. We prove a positive mass theorem for asymptotically flat (AF) spin manifolds with isolated conical singularities or more generally horn…
We study positive scalar curvature on the regular part of Riemannian manifolds with singular, uniformly Euclidean ($L^\infty$) metrics that consolidate Gromov's scalar curvature polyhedral comparison theory and edge metrics that appear in…
The goal of this work is to continue the study the smoothings of 3-dimensional manifolds with singularities obtained as small covers of non simple right-angle Coxeter polyhedral orbifolds. They appear in the study of coaxial intersections…
We show a special case of Steenbrink vanishing for rational singularities in positive characteristic. As a consequence, we prove that strongly $F$-regular threefolds and klt threefolds in characteristic $p>41$ satisfy Steenbrink vanishing.
We consider the question: which elliptic curves appear as the Jacobian of a smooth curve of genus one splitting a Severi--Brauer variety? We provide three new examples. First, we show that if $E$ is any elliptic curve over an algebraically…
We study the geometry of equivariant, proper maps from homogeneous bundles $G\times_P V$ over flag varieties $G/P$ to representations of $G$, called collapsing maps. Kempf showed that, provided the bundle is completely reducible, the image…
Although it is not known which groups can appear as torsion groups of elliptic curves over cubic number fields, it is known which groups can appear for infinitely many non-isomorphic curves. We denote the set of these groups as $S$. In this…
Consider a complex one dimensional foliation on a complex surface near a singularity $p$. If $\mathcal{I}$ is a closed invariant set containing the singularity $p$, then $\mathcal{I}$ contains either a separatrix at $p$ or an invariant real…
For an abelian or a projective K3 surface $X$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, consider the moduli space $\splcpx_{X/k}\uet$ of the objects $E$ in $D^b(\mathrm{Coh}(X))$ satisfying $\Ext^{-1}_X(E,E)=0$ and $\Hom(E,E)\cong k$. Then we…
We introduce the notion of categorical absorption of singularities: an operation that removes from the derived category of a singular variety a small admissible subcategory responsible for singularity and leaves a smooth and proper…
We show that a cyclic quotient surface singularity S can be decomposed, in a precise sense, into a number of elementary T-singularities together with a cyclic quotient surface singularity called the residue of S. A normal surface X with…
