If $X$ is a quasi-projective variety over a field $k$ and $\phi$ a birational endomorphism of $X$ that is injective outside a closed subset of codimension $\geq 2$, we prove that $\phi$ is an automorphism. This generalizes an old theorem of…

A conjecture of Miyanishi says that an endomorphism of an algebraic variety, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, is an automorphism if the endomorphism is injective outside a closed subset of codimension at…

We prove that, if X is a variety over an uncountable algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero, then any irreducible exceptional divisor E on a resolution of singularities of X which is not uniruled, belongs to the image of the…

Building on the work of the fourth author in math.AG/9904074, we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field…

We derive transformation rules for test ideals and $F$-singularities under an arbitrary finite surjective morphism $\pi : Y \to X$ of normal varieties in prime characteristic $p > 0$. The main technique is to relate homomorphisms $F_{*}…

In this paper we discuss log blow-up's, introduced by Kazuya Kato, and define the concept of log modifications. Using this concept we prove that any morphism f: X ---> Y of locally noetherian fs log schemes with underlying structures of f…

If a smooth projective threefold $X$ satisfies a certain Property A (see below for definition), then any automorphism of $X$ has zero entropy. Let $Y$ be a smooth projective threefold satisfying Property A. Let $\pi :X\rightarrow Y$ be a…

Suppose that $f:X\to Y$ is a dominant morphism of 3-folds over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We prove that there exist sequences of blow ups of points and nonsingular curves $\Phi:X_1\to X$ and $\Psi:Y_1\to Y$ such…

This paper deals with the existence of algebraic structures on compact Nash sets. We introduce the algebraic-topological notion of asymmetric Nash cobordism between compact Nash sets, and we prove that a compact Nash set is…

The focusing cubic NLS is a canonical model for the propagation of laser beams. In dimensions 2 and 3, it is known that a large class of initial data leads to finite time blow-up. Now, physical experiments suggest that this blow-up does not…

We define the Frobenius morphism of certain class of noncommutative blowups in positive characteristic. Thanks to a nice property of the class, the defined morphism is flat. Therefore we say that the noncommutative blowups in this class are…

We analyse infinitesimal deformations of morphisms of locally free sheaves on a smooth projective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In particular, we describe a differential graded Lie algebra…

This article is an exposition of an elementary constructive proof of canonical resolution of singularities in characteristic zero, presented in detail in Invent. Math. 128 (1997), 207-302. We define a new local invariant and get an…

We introduce a higher-order version of the tangent map of a morphism and find a matrix representation. We then apply this matrix to solve a conjecture by T. Yasuda regarding the semigroup of the higher Nash blowup of formal curves. We first…

We prove that the irreducible desingularization of a singularity given by the Grauert blow down of a negative holomorphic vector bundle over a compact complex manifold is unique up to isomorphism, and as an application, we show that two…

The article investigates the behaviour of the characteristic zero resolution invariant when transcribed suitably to the case of surfaces in positive characteristic. By Moh's jumping phenomenon -- or the occurrence of kangaroo singularities…

We consider the following conjecture: if X is a smooth projective variety over a field of characteristic zero, then there is a dense set of reductions X_s of X to positive characteristic such that the action of the Frobenius morphism on the…

We consider the problem of birationally modifying a morphism of complete varieties to make it a morphism from a nonsingular variety to a normal variety. Our main result is to give a counterexample to this problem. This example also is a…

We study finite morphisms of varieties and the link between their top multiplicity loci under certain assumptions. More precisely, we focus on how to determine that link in terms of the spaces of arcs of the varieties.

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety and $f:X\to X$ a non-isomorphic polarized endomorphism. We give two characterizations for $X$ to be a toric variety. First we show that if $X$ is $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial and $G$-almost homogeneous for…
