Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}(w_0, w_1, w_2, w_3)$ be a quasismooth well-formed weighted projective hypersurface and let $L = lcm(w_0,w_1,w_2,w_3)$. We characterize when $X$ is rational under the assumption that $L$ divides $deg(X)$ by…

A CY bundle on a connected compact complex manifold $X$ was a crucial ingredient in constructing differential systems for period integrals in [LY], by lifting line bundles from the base $X$ to the total space. A question was therefore…

Let $S$ and $T$ be reduced divisors on $\mathbb{P}^2$ which have no common components, and $\Delta=S+2\,T.$ We assume $\deg\Delta=6.$ Let $\pi:X\to\mathbb{P}^2$ be a normal triple cover with branch divisor $\Delta,$ i.e. $\pi$ is ramified…

We consider the moduli space of parabolic connections with rational generic weights over a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 3$. We determine the Chow group of the moduli space of parabolic connections such that the underlying…

Classification theory and the study of projective varieties which are covered by rational curves of minimal degrees naturally leads to the study of families of singular rational curves. Since families of arbitrarily singular curves are hard…

A $\mathbb Q$-conic bundle is a proper morphism from a threefold with only terminal singularities to a normal surface such that fibers are connected and the anti-canonical divisor is relatively ample. We study the structure of $\mathbb…

Under some positivity assumptions, extension properties of rationally connected fibrations from a submanifold to its ambient variety are studied. Given a family of rational curves on a complex projective manifold X inducing a covering…

The notion of 'slope rational connectedness' is introduced in the context of smooth orbifold pairs. The main result parallels the characterization of the rational connectedness of projective manifolds in terms of either the non-existence of…

We present a new family of monads whose cohomology is a stable rank two vector bundle on $\mathbb{P}^3$. We also study the irreducibility and smoothness together with a geometrical description of some of these families. These facts are used…

This paper investigates stable cohomotopy groups in codimensions two and three from complementary algebraic and geometric viewpoints. For general CW complexes, we give a complete characterization of stable cohomotopy in codimension two and…

A lot is known about the moduli space of parabolic bundles over curves of genus $g\geq 2$, but the lower genus cases are notably different. The goal of this article is to study the geometry of the moduli space of semistable parabolic…
