Using the Minimal Model Program, any degeneration of K-trivial varieties can be arranged to be in a Kulikov type form, i.e. with trivial relative canonical divisor and mild singularities. In the hyper-K\"ahler setting, we can then deduce a…

We investigate the correspondence between three theories of deformations of rational surface singularities: de Jong and van Straten's picture deformations, Koll\'ar's P-resolutions, and Pinkham's smoothings of negative weights. We provide…

A well-known theorem of Kulikov, Persson and Pinkham states that a degeneration of a family of K3-surfaces with trivial monodromy can be completed to a smooth family. We give a simple example that an analogous statement does not hold for…

We consider smoothings of a complex surface with singularities of class T and no nontrivial holomorphic vector field. Under an hypothesis of non degeneracy of the smoothing at each singular point, we prove that if the singular surface…

We consider surfaces immersed in three-dimensional pseudohermitian manifolds. We define the notion of (p-)mean curvature and of the associated (p-)minimal surfaces, extending some concepts previously given for the (flat) Heisenberg group.…

We prove that a Kummer surface defined over a complete strictly Henselian discretely valued field $K$ of residue characteristic different from 2 admits a strict Kulikov model after finite base change. The Kulikov models we construct will be…

We prove unobstructed deformations for compact Kaehlerian even-dimensional Poisson manifolds whose Poisson tensor degenerates along a divisor with mild singularities. Examples include Hilbert schemes of del Pezzo surfaces.

Building on and extending tools from variational analysis, we prove Kuratowski convergence of sets of simplicial area minimizers to minimizers of the smooth Douglas-Plateau problem under simplicial refinement. This convergence is with…

We prove two "Singularity removal rigidity theorems" for minimal hypersurfaces with isolated singularities in manifolds of nonnegative scalar curvature (Theorems \ref{thm: rigidity for minimal surface} and \ref{thm: georch free of…

By use of a natural extension map and a power series method, we obtain a local stability theorem for p-K\"ahler structures with the $(p,p+1)$-th mild $\partial\bar\partial$-lemma under small differentiable deformations.

In this paper, we prove a $p$-adic analogous of the Kulikov-Persson-Pinkham classification theorem [Persson:1981wp] for the central fiber of a degeneration of $K3$-surfaces in terms of the nilpotency degree of the monodromy of the family.…

We consider a perturbed Hermitian-Einstein equation, which we call the Donaldson-Thomas equation, on compact K\"ahler threefolds. In arXiv:0805.2195, we analysed some analytic properties of solutions to the equation, in particular, we…

We introduce a smooth variant of the Hopkins-Singer model of differential K-theory. We prove that our model is naturally isomorphic to the Hopkins-Singer model and also to the Tradler-Wilson-Zeinalian model of differential K-theory.

In this paper we prove a desingularization theorem for Legendrian surfaces that are the conormal of a quasi-ordinary hypersurface.

In the study of normal surface singularities the relation between analytical and topological properties and invariants of the singularity is a very rich problem. This relation is particularly close for surface singularities constructed from…

We study the partial resolutions of singularities related to Hilbert schemes of points on an affine space. Consider a quotient of a vector space $V$ by an action of a finite group $G$ of linear transforms. Under some additional assumptions,…

Minimal surfaces are ubiquitous in nature. Here they are considered as geometric objects that bear a deformation content. By refining the resolution of the surface deformation gradient afforded by the polar decomposition theorem, we…
