The existence problem for vector bundles on a smooth compact complex surface consists in determining which topological complex vector bundles admit holomorphic structures. For projective surfaces, Schwarzenberger proved that a topological…
We examine when division algebras can share common splitting fields of certain types. In particular, we show that one can find fields for which one has infinitely many Brauer classes of the same index and period at least 3, all…
This paper provides a classification result for gravitational instantons with cubic volume growth and cyclic fundamental group at infinity. It proves that a complete hyperk\"ahler manifold asymptotic to a circle fibration over the Euclidean…
The limiting procedure of special Kahler manifolds to their rigid limit is studied for moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau manifolds in the neighbourhood of certain singularities. In two examples we consider all the periods in and around the rigid…
We prove that polarised manifolds that admit a constant scalar curvature K\"ahler (cscK) metric satisfy a condition we call slope semistability. That is, we define the slope $\mu$ for a projective manifold and for each of its subschemes,…
In this paper, we first generalize to any hyper-K\"ahler manifold with nonzero third Betti number results proved by O'Grady for hyper-K\"ahler manifolds of generalized Kummer type. In the second part, we restrict to hyper-K\"ahler manifolds…
For a branched cover between two closed orientable surfaces, the Riemann-Hurwitz formula relates the Euler characteristics of the surfaces, the total degree of the cover, and the total length of the partitions of the degree given by the…
Building upon the Bloch-Kato conjecture in Milnor K-theory, we relate the third unramified cohomology group with Q/Z coefficients with a group which measures the failure of the integral Hodge conjecture in degree 4. As a first consequence,…
We study the Mumford--Tate conjecture for hyperk\"{a}hler varieties. We show that the full conjecture holds for all varieties deformation equivalent to either an Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 surface or to O'Grady's ten dimensional…
Let $k$ be a number field and let $\pi \colon X \rightarrow \mathbb{P}_k^1$ be a smooth conic bundle. We show that if $X/k$ has four geometric singular fibers with $X(\mathbb{A}_k)\neq \emptyset$ or non-trivial Brauer group, then $X$…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $X/k$ be a projective variety. The conjectures of Demailly--Green--Griffiths--Lang posit that every integral subvariety of $X$ is of general type if and only if $X$ is…
In this note, we make two methodical observations. $\bullet$ We prove in a simple explicit way that a necessary and sufficient condition for a K\"ahler manifold to be hyperk\"ahler is $h_{i\bar k} h_{j\bar l } \Omega^{\bar k \bar l} \ =\ C…
We show in this article that K\"{a}hler hyperbolic manifolds satisfy a family of optimal Chern number inequalities and the equality cases can be attained by some compact ball quotients. These present restrictions to complex structures on…
The necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of $\alpha$-surfaces in complex space-time manifolds with nonvanishing torsion is derived. For these manifolds, Lie brackets of vector fields and spinor Ricci identities contain…
Each choice of a K\"ahler class on a compact complex manifold defines an action of the Lie algebra $\slt$ on its total complex cohomology. If a nonempty set of such K\"ahler classes is given, then we prove that the corresponding…
We show the existence of a compact K\"ahler manifold which does not fit in a proper flat family over an irreducible base with one projective (possibly singular) fiber. We also give a topological version of this statement. This strengthens…
Let $X$ be an Enriques surface. Using Beauville's result about the triviality of the Brauer map of $X$, we define a new involution on the category of coherent sheaves on the canonically covering K3 surface $\overline{X}$. We relate the…
The Torelli group $\mathcal T(X)$ of a closed smooth manifold $X$ is the subgroup of the mapping class group $\pi_0(\mathrm{Diff}^+(X))$ consisting of elements which act trivially on the integral cohomology of $X$. In this note we give…
On an almost complex manifold, a quasi-K\"{a}hler metric, with canonical connection in the c-projective class of a given minimal complex connection, is equivalent to a non-degenerate solution of the c-projectively invariant metrizability…
This paper studies the categorical entropy of autoequivalences of derived categories of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces and hyperk\"ahler manifolds. One of the central questions about categorical entropy is whether it satisfies a…
