We use constructions of surfaces as abelian covers to write down exceptional collections of line bundles of maximal length for every surface $X$ in certain families of surfaces of general type with $p_g=0$ and $K_X^2=3,4,5,6,8$. We also…

Let $X$ be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus $g$, with $g\geq 2$, and ${\cal M}_{\xi}$ a smooth moduli space of fixed determinant semistable vector bundles of rank $n$, with $n\geq 2$, over $X$. Take a smooth anticanonical…

We show that every cycle in the degree $d$ algebraic cobordism group $\Omega_d(X)$ of a smooth projective variety $X$ over a field of characteristic $0$ is smoothable when $2d<\dim(X)$, that is, it can be written as a linear combination of…

This survey article mainly addresses to graduate students and young researchers in complex geometry willing to enter the beautiful word of connections between curvature and Kobayashi hyperbolicity. It is a detailed account of a recent…

We study surface zero-energy flat bands in three-dimensional chiral superconductors with $p_z (p_x +ip_y)^{\nu}$-wave pairing symmetry ($\nu$ is a nonzero integer), based on topological numbers and tunneling conductance. It is shown that…

Closed quantum surfaces of any genus are defined as subalgebras of the Toeplitz algebra by mimicking the classical construction of identifying arcs on the boundary of the (quantum) unit disk. Isomorphism classes obtained from different…

This paper investigates the structure of the automorphism scheme of a smooth canonically polarized surface $X$ defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. In particular it is investigated when Aut(X) is not smooth. This…

We study relations in the Grothendieck ring of varieties which connect the Hilbert scheme of points on a cubic hypersurface $Y$ with a certain moduli space of twisted cubic curves on $Y$. These relations are generalizations of the…

Cobordism groups of cooriented fold maps of codimension 1 are computed completely. Namely their odd torsion part coincides with that of the stable homotopy group of spheres in the same dimension, while the 2-primary part is the kernel of…

We investigate the nonlinear holomorphic supersymmetry for quantum-mechanical systems on Riemann surfaces subjected to an external magnetic field. The realization is shown to be possible only for Riemann surfaces with constant curvature…

We solved the long-standing problem of describing the cohomology ring of semiample hypersurfaces in complete simplicial toric varieties. Also, the monomial-divisor mirror map is generalized to a map between the whole Picard group and the…

We define general rotational surfaces of elliptic and hyperbolic type in the pseudo-Euclidean 4-space with neutral metric which are analogous to the general rotational surfaces of C. Moore in the Euclidean 4-space. We study Lorentz general…

We show that a real rational (over $\C$) surfaces are quasi-simple, i.e., that such a surface is determined up to deformation in the class of real surfaces by the topological type of its real structure.

Given an embedded smooth projective variety Y in CP^n, we show how the existence of a hypersurface with high multiplicity along Y, but of relatively low degree and log canonical near Y implies vanishing of higher cohomology for certain…

In this paper, we provide two different resolutions of structural sheaves of projectivized tangent bundles of smooth complete intersections. These resolutions allow in particular to obtain convenient (and completely explicit) descriptions…

In this note we give a complete description of all the hyperplane section of the projective bundle associated to the tangent bundle of $\mathbb{P}^2$ under its natural embedding in $\mathbb{P}^7.$ As an application one obtains a description…

We introduce a dual logarithmic residue map for hypersurface singularities and use it to answer a question of Kyoji Saito. Our result extends a theorem of L\^e and Saito by an algebraic characterization of hypersurfaces that are normal…

We prove that if $X$ is a complex projective K3 surface and $g>0$, then there exist infinitely many families of curves of geometric genus $g$ on $X$ with maximal, i.e., $g$-dimensional, variation in moduli. In particular every K3 surface…

We prove that any minimal weak symplectic filling of the canonical contact structure on the unit cotangent bundle of a nonorientable closed surface other than the real projective plane is s-cobordant rel boundary to the disk cotangent…

To a family of smooth projective cubic surfaces one can canonically associate a family of abelian fivefolds. In characteristic zero, we calculate the Hodge groups of the abelian varieties which arise in this way. In arbitrary characteristic…
