We produce an example of a rigid, but not infinitesimally rigid smooth compact complex surface with ample canonical bundle using results about arrangements of lines inspired by work of Hirzebruch, Kapovich and Millson, Manetti and Vakil.
In this paper the detailed classification of three-dimensional exceptional canonical hypersurface singularities which don't satisfy the condition of well-formedness is given. This result completes the classification of three-dimensional…
The main result of this note is an effective uniform bound for the number of deformation types of certain nonisotrivial families of canonically polarized manifolds. It extends the author's earlier such bound for the classical Shafarevich…
The paper is a colloquial-style discussion of invariants of algebraic surfaces analogous to the Donaldson polynomials, arising from moduli spaces of ``jumping'' Yang--Mills instantons, or moduli spaces of jumping vector bundles. The…
In this paper, we study an algebraic fiber space in positive characteristic whose generic fiber $F$ has finitely generated canonical ring and sufficiently large Frobenius stable canonical ring. An example of such a case is when $F$ is…
We study various measures of irrationality for hypersurfaces of large degree in projective space and other varieties. These include the least degree of a rational covering of projective space, and the minimal gonality of a covering family…
Let $S$ be a smooth complex minimal surface of general type with $p_g:=h^0(K_S)\ge 4$ whose canonical map is generically finite of odd degree $d>1$ onto a surface $\Sigma$. We assume that the general canonical curve of $S$ is smooth and…
The article proves the Infinitesimal Torelli theorem for surfaces subject to the following conditions: 1) the canonical bundle of a surface is ample and generated by its global sections, 2)the geometric genus $p_g \geq 4$, 3) the…
We give an alternate proof to the following generalization of the uniformization theorem by Bonk and Kleiner. Any linearly locally connected and Ahlfors 2-regular closed metric surface is quasisymmetrically equivalent to a model surface of…
Using a result of Demailly and Pham on log canonical thresholds, we give an upper bound for polar invariants from a question of Teissier on hypersurface singularities. This provides a weaker alternative upper bound compared to the one…
Let X be a smooth, projective variety over the field of complex numbers. Here we focus on a conjecture attributed to Shigefumi Mori, which claims that X is uniruled if and only if the Kodaira dimension of X is negative.
We show that the Kodaira vanishing theorem can fail on smooth Fano varieties of any characteristic p > 0. Taking cones over some of these varieties, we give the first examples of terminal singularities which are not Cohen-Macaulay. By a…
In this paper we investigate boundedness and volumes of generalised pairs, and give applications to usual pairs especially to a class of pairs that we call stable log minimal models. Fixing the dimension and a DCC set controlling…
We argue that the standard canonical treatment of GR breaks manifest spacetime covariance. We present new variables which carry a reducible representation of gauge transformations and spacetime diffeomorphisms. A proposal is presented for…
We study the moduli space of minimal surfaces of general type with $K_S^2 = 1$ and $p_g = 2$ and show that it is irreducible, has dimension $28$ and admits a compactification which is unirational.
The Bounded Negativity Conjecture predicts that for every complex projective surface $X$ there exists a number $b(X)$ such that $C^2\geq -b(X)$ holds for all reduced curves $C\subset X$. For birational surfaces $f:Y\to X$ there have been…
In this paper, we prove that if a $3$-dimensional quasi-projective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$ has only log canonical singularities, then so does a general hyperplane section $H$ of $X$. We also…
On conformally compact manifolds of arbitrary signature, we use conformal geometry to identify a natural (and very general) class of canonical boundary problems. It turns out that these encompass and extend aspects of already known…
We prove local boundedness of generalized solutions to a large class of variational problems of linear growth including boundary value problems of minimal surface type and models from image analysis related to the procedure of…
We prove birational boundedness results on complete intersections with trivial canonical class of base point free divisors in (some version of) Fano varieties. Our results imply in particular that Batyrev-Borisov toric construction produces…
