We compute the purely real Welschinger invariants, both original and modified, for all real del Pezzo surfaces of degree at least 2. We show that under some conditions, for such a surface $X$ and a real nef and big divisor class $D$,…

The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we study the asymptotics of the N\'eron height pairing between degree-zero divisors on a family of degenerating compact Riemann surfaces parametrized by an algebraic curve. We show that if the…

Let $X$ be a nonsingular variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$, and $D$ be a free divisor. We study the motivic Chern class of $D$ in the Grothendieck group of coherent sheaves $G_0(X)$, and another class…

We show first that a generic hypersurface $V$ of degree $d\geq 3$ in the complex projective space $ \mathbb{P}^n$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ has at least one hyperplane section $V \cap H$ containing exactly $n$ ordinary double points, alias…

We show that $sl_2$ conformal block divisors do not cover the nef cone of $\bar{M}_{0,6}$, or the $S_9$-invariant nef cone of $\bar{M}_{0,9}$. A key point is to relate the nonvanishing of intersection numbers between these divisors and…

We discuss the cone theorem for quasi-log schemes and the Mori hyperbolicity. In particular, we establish that the log canonical divisor of a Mori hyperbolic projective normal pair is nef if it is nef when restricted to the non-lc locus.…

In this paper, we study smooth complex projective varieties $X$ such that some exterior power $\bigwedge^r T_X$ of the tangent bundle is strictly nef. We prove that such varieties are rationally connected. We also classify the following two…

We prove a conjecture of Voisin that no two distinct points on a very general hypersurface of degree $2n$ in ${\mathbb P}^n$ are rationally equivalent.

Let $X$ be a projective manifold of dimension $n$. Suppose that $T_X$ contains an ample subsheaf. We show that $X$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^n$. As an application, we derive the classification of projective manifolds containing a…

By a theorem of Wahl, the canonically embedded curves which are hyperplane section of K3 surfaces are distinguished by the non-surjectivity of their Wahl map. In this paper we address the problem of distinguishing hyperplane sections of…

We give the first examples of nef line bundles on smooth projective varieties over finite fields which are not semi-ample. More concretely, we find smooth curves on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields such that the normal bundle…

Let X be a smooth projective surface. Here we study the postulation of a general union Z of fat points of X, when most of the connected components of Z have multiplicity 2. This problem is related to the existence of "good" families of…

In this paper, we study the property of bigness of the tangent bundle of a smooth projective rational surface with nef anticanonical divisor. We first show that the tangent bundle $T_S$ of $S$ is not big if $S$ is a rational elliptic…

We prove that classes of rational curves on very general Enriques surfaces are always $2$-divisible. As a consequence, we prove that the Seshadri constant of any big and nef line bundle on a very general Enriques surface coincides with the…

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…

We initiate the study of Nash blowups in prime characteristic. First, we show that a normal variety is non-singular if and only if its Nash blowup is an isomorphism, extending a theorem by A. Nobile. We also study higher Nash blowups, as…

We study hyperbolicity for quasi-projective varieties where the boundary divisor consists of n+1 numerically parallel effective divisors on a complex projective variety of dimension n, allowing non-empty intersection. Under explicit local…

For a complex irreducible projective variety, the volume function and the higher asymptotic cohomological functions have proven to be useful in understanding the positivity of divisors as well as other geometric properties of the variety.…

We give a slope equality for fibered surfaces whose general fiber is a smooth plane curve. As a corollary, we prove a "strong" Durfee-type inequality for isolated hypersurface surface singularities, which implies Durfee's strong conjecture…

We compute some numerical invariants of the lines on hyperplane sections of a smooth cubic threefold over complex numbers. We also prove that for any smooth hypersurface $X\subset \mathbb P^{n+1}$ of degree $d$ over an algebraically closed…
