In this article we present a 3-dimensional analogue of a well-known theorem of E. Bombieri (in 1973) which characterizes the bi-canonical birationality of surfaces of general type. Let $X$ be a projective minimal 3-fold of general type with…
We establish the generalized canonical bundle formula for generalized lc-trivial fibrations with irrational coefficients over non-compact bases in the complex analytic setting, and we show that the discriminant b-divisor and moduli…
We study locally trivial deformations of toric varieties from a combinatorial point of view. For any fan $\Sigma$, we construct a deformation functor $\mathrm{Def}_\Sigma$ by considering \v{C}ech zero-cochains on certain simplicial…
In this short article we provide a proof of the Iitaka conjecture for algebraic fiber spaces over abelian varieties.
We establish that a category of fibrant objects (in the sense of Brown) admits a Dwyer-Kan homotopical calculus of right fractions. This is done using a homotopical calculus of cocycles, which is an auxiliary structure that can be defined…
Categories of lenses/optics and Dialectica categories are both comprised of bidirectional morphisms of basically the same form. In this work we show how they can be considered a special case of an overarching fibrational construction,…
On construit des foncteurs de formes differentielles generalisees. Ceux-ci, dans le cas d'espaces nilpotents de type fini, determinent le type d'homotopie faible des espaces. Ils sont munis, d'une maniere elementaire et naturelle, de…
Let $f\colon X\to B$ be a semistable fibration where $X$ is a smooth variety of dimension $n\geq 2$ and $B$ is a smooth curve. We give the structure theorem for the local system of the relative $1$-forms and of the relative top forms. This…
Let $X\to\P^n$ be a $2n$-dimensional projective holomorphic symplectic manifold admitting a Lagrangian fibration over $\P^n$. Matsushita proved that the fibration can be deformed in a codimension one family in the moduli space…
Iterating the procedure of making a double cover over a given variety, we construct large families of smooth higher-dimensional Fano varieties of index 1. These varieties can be realized as complete intersections in various weighted…
We construct a standard birational model (a model that has Gorenstein canonical singularities) for the three-dimensional del Pezzo fibrations ${ \pi \colon X \longrightarrow C }$ of degree $1$ and relative Picard number $1$. We also embed…
Given a Q-Cartier divisor $S \subset X$ admitting a fibration $S \rightarrow B$ onto a curve we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a bimeromorphic contraction contracting S onto B. As a corollary we recover a contraction result…
We study birational geometry of Fano varieties, realized as double covers $\sigma\colon V\to {\mathbb P}^M$, $M\geq 5$, branched over generic hypersurfaces $W=W_{2(M-1)}$ of degree $2(M-1)$. We prove that the only structures of a rationally…
Kodaira fibrations have non-trivial vertical fundamental groups and their slopes are all $12$. In this paper, we show that $12$ is indeed the sharp upper bound for the slopes of fibrations with trivial vertical fundamental groups.…
The semistable minimal model program is a special case of the minimal model program concerning 3-folds fibred over a curve and birational morphisms preserving this structure. We classify semistable divisorial contractions which contract the…
Let X -> Y be a fibration whose fibers are complete intersections of two quadrics. We develop new categorical and algebraic tools---a theory of relative homological projective duality and the Morita invariance of the even Clifford algebra…
A new class of compact K\"ahler manifolds, called special, is defined, which are the ones having no surjective meromorphic map to an orbifold of general type. The special manifolds are in many respect higher-dimensional generalisations of…
We give effective bounds for the uniformity of the Iitaka fibration. These bounds follow from an effective theorem on the birationality of some adjoint linear series. In particular we derive an effective version of the main theorem in [17].
It is well known that all torsors under an affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field are trivial. We note that under suitable conditions this also holds if the the group is not necessarily of finite type. This has an…
In this note, we show that for surfaces admitting suitable fibrations, any given degeneration X / Delta is bimeromorphic to a fiber space over Delta and we apply this result to the study of the degenerate fiber.
