In this short note, we offer an observation that the Miyaoka-Yau inequality holds for any compact K\"{a}hler manifold with nef canonical bundle, i.e. a smooth minimal model. It follows directly from the existence of cscK metrics in a…

We study symplectic minimal resolutions of weighted projective planes $\mathbb{CP}(a,b,c)$ from the perspective of disconnected symplectic divisors with symplectic log Kodaira dimension $-\infty$. Building on the techniques developed in our…

We study smooth projective varieties with small dual variety using methods from symplectic topology. We prove the affine parts of such varieties are subcritical, and that the hyperplane class is invertible in their quantum cohomology. We…

It is proved by Kawamata that the canonical bundle of a projective manifold is semi-ample if it is big and nef. We give an analytic proof using the Ricci flow, degeneration of Riemannian manifolds and $L^2$-theory. Combined with our earlier…

Given an embedded smooth projective variety Y in CP^n, we show how the existence of a hypersurface with high multiplicity along Y, but of relatively low degree and log canonical near Y implies vanishing of higher cohomology for certain…

We prove the weak positivity of direct images for locally stable families of klt good minimal models over reduced quasi-projective bases using Gabber's Extension Theorem. As an application, we apply Viehweg's ampleness criterion to show…

Let $f:(X,B)\to Z$ be a 3-fold extremal dlt flipping contraction defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>5$, such that the coefficients of $\{B\}$ are in the standard set $\{1-\frac 1n|n\in \mathbb N\}$, then the…

For any flat projective family $(\mX,\mL)\rightarrow C$ such that the generic fibre $\mX_\eta$ is a klt Q-Fano variety and $\mL|_{\mX_\eta}\sim_{Q}-K_{X_{\eta}}$, we use the techniques from the minimal model program (MMP) to modify the…

Let $X$ be a complex smooth projective variety of dimension $d$. Under some assumption on the cohomology of $X$, we construct mutually orthogonal idempotents in $CH_d(X \times X) \otimes \Q$ whose action on algebraically trivial cycles…

We prove an elementary but somewhat unexpected result about projective embeddings of smooth varieties X whose cotangent bundles are numerically effective. Specifically, we show that the degree of X in any projective embedding must grow…

Let f:X->Y be an algebraic fiber space such that the general fiber has a good minimal model. We show that if f is the Iitaka fibration or if f is the Albanese map of relative dimension no more than three, then X has a good minimal model.

1) We give a 3-dimensional analogue of M. Noether's inequality for canonically polarized threefolds: $K^3\ge 2(2p_g-5)/3$. This inequality is sharp by known examples of M. Kobayashi. 2) Given a minimal 3-fold $X$ of general type with…

We prove that for any smooth complex projective threefold of Kodaira dimension one, the $m$-th pluricanonical map is birational to the Iitaka fibration for every $m\geq5868$ and divisible by $12$.

A recent celebrated theorem of Diverio-Trapani and Wu-Yau states that a compact K\"ahler manifold admitting a K\"ahler metric of quasi-negative holomorphic sectional curvature has an ample canonical line bundle, confirming a conjecture of…

We prove a strengthening of Koll\'ar's Ampleness Lemma and use it to prove that any proper coarse moduli space of stable log-varieties of general type is projective. We also prove subadditivity of log-Kodaira dimension for fiber spaces…

Let $H$ be an ample line bundle on a non-singular projective surface $X$, and $M(H)$ the coarse moduli scheme of rank-two $H$-semistable sheaves with fixed Chern classes on $X$. We show that if $H$ changes and passes through walls to get…

This paper is Part III of a series of three. We begin by introducing the notion of $h$-special varieties, which can be seen as varieties "chain-connected by the Zariski closures of entire curves." We prove that if $X$ is either a special…

A celebrated conjecture of Kobayashi and Lang says that the canonical line bundle $K_X$ of a Kobayashi hyperbolic compact complex manifold $X$ is ample. In this note we prove that $K_X$ is ample if $X$ is projective and satisfies a stronger…

Let $(X,D)$ be an open log del Pezzo surface of rank one, that is, $X$ is a normal projective surface of Picard rank one, the boundary $D$ is a reduced nonzero divisor on $X$, and the anti-log canonical divisor $-(K_X+D)$ is ample. We show…

A normal variety $X$ is called Calabi-Yau if $K_X \sim_{\mathbb Q} 0$. The index of $X$ is the smallest positive integer $m$ so that $m K_X \sim 0$. We construct smooth, projective Calabi-Yau varieties in every dimension with doubly…
