Let $X\rightarrow C$ be a totally real semistable degeneration over a smooth real curve $C$ with degenerate fiber $X_0$. Assuming that the irreducible components of $X_0$ are simple from a cohomological point of view, we give a bound for…

In this paper we show that quotients of smooth projective toric varieties by $\mu_p$ in positive characteristics $p$ are toric varieties.

Let X be a smooth, linearly normal algebraic variety. It is shown that the Mabuchi energy of X restricted to the Bergman metrics is completely determined by the X-hyperdiscriminant of format (n-1) and the Chow form of X. As a corollary it…

By analogy with algebraic geometry, we define a category of non-linear sheaves (quasi-coherent homotopy-sheaves of topological spaces) on projective toric varieties and prove a splitting result for its algebraic K-theory, generalising…

In 1973 V.L.Popov classified affine SL(2)-embeddings. He proved that a locally transitive SL(2)-action on a normal affine three-dimensional variety X is uniquely determined by a pair (p/q, r), where 0<p/q<=1 is an uncancelled fraction and r…

We provide a new proof of the following result: Let $X$ be a variety of finite type over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0, let $Z\subset X$ be a proper closed subset. There exists a modification $f:X_1 \rar X$, such…

We prove that polarised manifolds that admit a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) metric satisfy a condition we call slope semistability. That is, we define the slope $\mu$ for a projective manifold and for each of its subschemes,…

Let X be a smooth, complete, toric variety. We study those curves C in X that are contractible, in the sense that there exists an equivariant morphism with connected fibers, with source X, that contracts exactly the irreducible curves that…

Let $X$ be a projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic $p \ge 0$. A surjective endomorphism $f$ of $X$ is $q$-polarized if $f^\ast H \sim qH$ for some ample Cartier divisor $H$ and integer $q >…

We prove that any affine, resp. polarized projective, spherical variety admits a flat degeneration to an affine, resp. polarized projective, toric variety. Motivated by Mirror Symmetry, we give conditions for the limit toric variety to be a…

The genus 0, fixed-domain log Gromov-Witten invariants of a smooth, projective toric variety X enumerate maps from a general pointed rational curve to a smooth, projective toric variety passing through the maximal number of general points…

In the previous article (\cite{S}), we proved that slope stability of a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a polarized manifold $(X,L)$ implies Chow stability of $(\mathbb{P}E^*,\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}E^*}(1)\otimes \pi^* L^k)$ for $k \gg…

We show that every smooth toric variety (and many other algebraic spaces as well) can be realized as a moduli space for smooth, projective, polarized varieties. Some of these are not quasi--projective. This contradicts a recent paper…

For a polarized algebraic manifold $(X,L)$, let $T$ be an algebraic torus in the group of all holomorphic automorphisms of $X$. Then strong relative K-stability will be shown to imply asymptotic relative Chow-stability. In particular, by…

For a toric variety X_P determined by a rational polyhedral fan P in a lattice N, Payne shows that the equivariant Chow cohomology of X_P is the Sym(N)--algebra C^0(P) of integral piecewise polynomial functions on P. We use the…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Given a semistable vector bundle $E$ over $X$, we show that its direct image $F\_*E$ under the Frobenius map…

Let $X$ be a projective normal toric variety and $T_0$ a rank one subtorus of the defining torus of $X$. We show that the normalization of the Chow quotient $X//T_0$, in the sense of Kapranov-Sturmfels-Zelevinsky, coarsely represents the…

For quasi-projective varieties over a higher local field $k_N$, we prove that its $K$-groups, above a suitable degree, are divisible-by-finite. We also prove the finiteness of the prime-to-$p$ torsion subgroup of certain higher Chow groups…

Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth curve over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $X$ be a scheme, which is smooth and projective over $K$. Suppose that the cotangent bundle $\Omega_{X/K}$ is ample. Let $R:={\rm Zar}(X)(K)\cap X)$…

Let A be an ample line bundle on a projective toric variety X of dimension n. We show that if l>=n-1+p, then A^l satisfies the property N_p. Applying similar methods, we obtain a combinatorial theorem: For a given lattice polytope P we give…
