Let X be a compact K\"ahler manifold such that the anticanonical bundle $-K_X$ is nef. A classical conjecture claims that the Albanese map is submersive. We prove this conjecture if the general fibre is a weak Fano manifold. If X is…

In this paper we prove the following abundance-type result: for any smooth Fano variety $X$, the tangent bundle $T_X$ is nef if and only if it is big and semiample in the sense that the tautological line bundle…

We study Gauss maps of order $k$, associated to a projective variety $X$ embedded in projective space via a line bundle $L.$ We show that if $X$ is a smooth, complete complex variety and $L$ is a $k$-jet spanned line bundle on $X$, with…

Let $\mathcal{E}$ be an ample vector bundle of rank $r\geq 2$ on a smooth complex projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$. The aim of this paper is to describe the structure of pairs $(X,\mathcal{E})$ as above whose adjoint bundles…

We propose a new construction which associates to any ample (or big) line bundle $L$ on a projective manifold $X$ a canonical growth condition (i.e. a choice of a psh function well-defined up to a bounded term) on the tangent space $T_p X$…

We produce an example of a rigid, but not infinitesimally rigid smooth compact complex surface with ample canonical bundle using results about arrangements of lines inspired by work of Hirzebruch, Kapovich and Millson, Manetti and Vakil.

We provide supplements and open problems related to structure theorems for maximal rationally connected fibrations of certain positively curved projective varieties, including smooth projective varieties with semi-positive holomorphic…

Let A be an elliptic curve, and let $V_A$ be the Serre vector bundle on A. A famous example of Demailly-Peternell-Schneider shows that the tautological class of $V_A$ contains a unique closed positive current. In this survey we start by…

Chiriv\`{\i} and Maffei \cite{CM II} have proved that the multiplication of sections of any two ample spherical line bundles on the wonderful symmetric variety $X=\bar{G/H}$ is surjective. We have proved two criterions that allows ourselves…

Let $M\stackrel\pi \arrow X$ be a principal elliptic fibration over a Kaehler base $X$. We assume that the Kaehler form on $X$ is lifted to an exact form on $M$ (such fibrations are called positive). Examples of these are regular Vaisman…

Geometric quantization often produces not one Hilbert space to represent the quantum states of a classical system but a whole family $H_s$ of Hilbert spaces, and the question arises if the spaces $H_s$ are canonically isomorphic. [ADW] and…

Given a smooth complex projective surface $S$ and an ample divisor $H$ on $S$, consider the blow up of $S$ along $k$ points in general position. Let $H'$ be the pullback of $H$ and $E_1,..., E_k$ be the exceptional divisors. We show that $L…

Let $f: X \to Y$ be a dominant morphism of smooth, proper and geometrically integral varieties over a number field $k$, with geometrically integral generic fibre. We give a necessary and sufficient geometric criterion for the induced map…

Let $B$ be a simply-connected projective variety such that the first cohomology groups of all line bundles on $B$ are zero. Let $E$ be a vector bundle over $B$ and $X={\mathbb P} (E)$. It is easily seen that a power of any endomorphism of…

We approach non-divisorial base loci of big and nef line bundles on irreducible symplectic varieties. While for K3 surfaces, only divisorial base loci can occur, nothing was known about the behaviour of non-divisorial base loci for more…

We show that the vector bundle associated to a smooth projective connected finite covering of a simple complex abelian variety is ample (under a simple necessary condition). This result is obtained by showing that this bundle is M-regular…

We show that an abelian surface embedded in P^N by a very ample line bundle L of type (1,2d) is projectively normal if and only if d>=4. This completes the study of the projective normality of abelian surfaces embedded by complete linear…

Let $X$ be a projective variety over a field. In this paper, we will construct a moduli space of very ample line bundles on $X$. In doing so, we develop a generalization of Fitting ideals to complexes of sheaves on $X$. We give other…

We show that the category of affine bundles over a smooth manifold M is equivalent to the category of affine spaces modelled on projective finitely generated C^\infty(M)-modules. Using this equivalence of categories, we are able to give an…

In this paper we investigate the geometry of projective varieties polarised by ample and more generally nef and big Weil divisors. First we study birational boundedness of linear systems. We show that if $X$ is a projective variety of…
