In this article we describe the construction of logarithmic models in both real and complex cases. A logarithmic model is a germ of closed meromorphic 1-form with simple poles - and the analytic foliation defined by it - produced upon some…

We prove that the canonical ring of a smooth projective variety is finitely generated.

We prove that if M is a vertically 4-connected matroid with a modular flat X of rank at least three, then every representation of M | X over a finite field F extends to a unique F-representation of M. A corollary is that when F has order q,…

We show that the set of Hilbert functions $P(m)=\chi(mK_\mathcal{F})$ of 2-dimensional foliated canonical models with fixed $K_\mathcal{F}^2$, $K_\mathcal{F} \cdot K_X$ and $i_\mathbb{Q}(\mathcal{F})$ is finite. As a consequence, we deduce…

Let $(S,D)$ be a minimal log pair of general type with $S$ a smooth projective surface and $D$ a simple normal corssing reduced divisor on $S$. We assume that its log canonial linear system $|K_S+D|$ is composed of a penciel, let $f\colon…

We give a light introduction to some recent developments in Mori theory, and to our recent direct proof of the finite generation of the canonical ring.

We prove that, under mild restrictions, the space of codimension-one foliations of degree one on a smooth projective complete intersection has two irreducible components of logarithmic type. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for…

We construct a sequence of modular compactifications of the space of marked trigonal curves by allowing the branch points to coincide to a given extent. Beginning with the standard admissible cover compactification, the sequence first…

Let $S$ be a minimal surface of general type with $p_g(S)=2$ and $K^2_S=1$, so called by a minimal $(1,2)$-surface. Then we obtain that the global log canonical threshold of the surface $S$ via $K_S$ is greater than equal to $\frac{1}{2}$.…

We use intersection theory, degeneration techniques and jet schemes to study log canonical thresholds. Our first result gives a lower bound for the log canonical threshold of a pair in terms of the log canonical threshold of the image by a…

A good canonical projection of a surface $S$ of general type is a morphism to the 3-dimensional projective space P^3 given by 4 sections of the canonical line bundle. To such a projection one associates the direct image sheaf F of the…

We show that birational smooth complex projective varieties with numerically effective canonical bundles along the exceptional loci have the same Betti numbers. In particular, birational smooth minimal models share the same Betti numbers.…

We establish a connection between properties of partially symmetric tensors (i.e. tensors associated to linear systems of quadric hypersurfaces) and the geometry of some related loci, generalization of the Weddle loci introduced in…

T.Kishimoto raised the problem to classify all compactifications of contractible affine 3-folds into smooth Fano 3-folds with second Betti number two and classified such compactifications whose log canonical divisors are not nef. In this…

We establish a correspondence between simplicial fans, not necessarily rational, and certain foliated compact complex manifolds called LVMB-manifolds. In the rational case, Meersseman and Verjovsky have shown that the leaf space is the…

We study the Fourier--Mukai numbers of rational elliptic surfaces. As its application, we give an example of a pair of minimal 3-folds with Kodaira dimensions 1, $h^1(\mc O)=h^2(\mc O)=0$ such that they are mutually derived equivalent,…

We provide a detailed proof of the validity of the Minimal Model Program for threefolds over excellent Dedekind separated schemes whose residue fields do not have characteristic 2 or 3.

This paper is the first of two steps in a project to prove finite generation of the log canonical ring without Mori theory.

We study the TMF-valued $(3+1)$-dimensional TQFT of Gukov--Krushkal--Meier--Pei and give an explicit description of the TMF-module state space assigned to a closed $3$-manifold. Our starting point is the torsion linking pairing on $H_1$,…

We study Mori fiber spaces over a two-dimensional base which satisfy the semistability assumption. As an application of our technique we give a new proof of the existence of semistable 3-fold flips.
