We construct a complete embedded minimal surface with arbitrary genus in the doubled Schwarzschild 3-manifold. A classical desingularization method is used for the construction.

We prove that the transcendental Brauer group of a K3 surface X over a finitely generated field k is finite, unless k has positive characteristic p and X is supersingular, in which case it is annihilated by p.

The probability that a tuple of matrices together with all scalars generates a finite incidence ring is calculated. It is proved that all real and complex finite-dimensional incidence algebras are generated by two randomly chosen matrices.

In this short note, we construct a minimally intersecting pair of simple closed curves that fill a genus 2 surface with an odd, greater than 3, number of punctures. This finishes the determination of minimally intersecting filling pairs for…

Varieties with log terminal and log canonical singularities are considered in the Minimal Model Program, see \cite{...} for introduction. In \cite{shokurov:hyp} it was conjectured that many of the interesting sets, associated with these…

This paper proposes some material towards a theory of general toric varieties without the assumption of normality. Their combinatorial description involves a fan to which is attached a set of semigroups subjected to gluing-up conditions. In…

Let $X$ be the blowup of a weighted projective plane at a general point. We study the problem of finite generation of the Cox ring of $X$. Generalizing examples of Srinivasan and Kurano-Nishida, we consider examples of $X$ that contain a…

We classify minimal pairs (X, G) for smooth rational projective surface X and finite group G of automorphisms on X. We also determine the fixed locus X^G and the quotient surface Y = X/G as well as the fundamental group of the smooth part…

Let $\omega$ be a Kaehler form on the real $4$-torus $T^4$. Suppose that $\omega$ satisfies an irrationality condition which can be achieved by an arbitrarily small perturbation of $\omega$. This note shows that the smoothly trivial…

Motivated by homological mirror symmetry, this paper constructs explicit full exceptional collections for the canonical stacks associated with the series of log del Pezzo surfaces constructed by Johnson and Koll\'ar. These surfaces have…

We study the base locus of the higher fundamental forms of a projective toric variety $X$ at a general point. More precisely we consider the closure $X$ of the image of a map $({\mathbb C}^*)^k\to {\mathbb P}^n$, sending $t$ to the vector…

We give a proper definition of the multiplicative structure of the following rings: the Cox ring of invertible sheaves on a general algebraic stack; and the Cox ring of rank one reflexive sheaves on a normal and excellent algebraic stack.…

In this paper we work with a series whose coefficients are the Euler characteristic of Chow varieties of a given projective variety. For varieties where the Cox ring is defined, it is easy to see that in this case the ring associated to the…

We describe a bound on the degree of the generators for some adjoint rings on surfaces and threefolds.

We prove that every minimal symplectic filling of the link of a quotient surface singularity can be obtained from its minimal resolution by applying a sequence of rational blow-downs and symplectic antiflips. We present an explicit…

We study the Landau-Ginzburg mirror of toric/non-toric blowups of (possibly non-Fano) toric surfaces arising from SYZ mirror symmetry. Through the framework of tropical geometry, we provide an effective method for identifying the precise…

In this article, we prove that a smooth projective complex surface $X$ which is regular (i.e. such that $h^1(X,\mathcal O_X)=0$) and which has a $\mathbb{R}$-divisor $\Delta$ such that $(X,\Delta)$ is a KLT Calabi-Yau pair has finitely many…

We investigate the class of degenerations of smooth cubic surfaces which are obtained from degenerating their Cox rings to toric algebras. More precisely, we work in the spirit of Sturmfels and Xu who use the theory of Khovanskii bases to…

We investigate complete non-orientable minimal surfaces of finite total curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that their ends are foliated by closed lines of curvature. This condition on the ends is necessary if they have a piece inside some…
