We study the positivity of complete intersections of nef classes. We first give a sufficient and necessary characterization on the complete intersection classes which have hard Lefschetz property on a compact complex torus, equivalently, in…

Motivated by the classical Theorems of Picard and Siegel and their generalizations, we define the notion of an {\it essentially large} effective divisor and derive some of its geometric and arithmetic consequences. We then prove that on a…

We develop the quantum Kodaira-Spencer theory on the elliptic curve and establish the corresponding higher genus B-model. We show that the partition functions of the higher genus B-model on the elliptic curve are almost holomorphic modular…

We study the category Cstabm of measurable cones and measurable stable functions, which is a denotational model of an higher-order language with continuous probabilities and full recursion. We look at Cstabm as a model for discrete…

In this paper, we prove that an algebraic fiber space $f:X\to Y$ over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with nef relative anti-canonical divisor $-K_{X/Y}$ splits into the product after taking the base change along a finite cover…

We prove that the description of cubic functors is a wild problem in the sense of the representation theory. On the contrary, we describe several special classes of such functors (2-divisible, weakly alternative, vector spaces and torsion…

A convex-polynomial is a convex combination of the monomials $\{1, x, x^2, \ldots\}$. This paper establishes that the convex-polynomials on $\mathbb R$ are dense in $L^p(\mu)$ and weak$^*$ dense in $L^\infty(\mu)$, precisely when…

We show that a pseudoeffective R-divisor has numerical dimension 0 if it is numerically trivial on a subvariety with ample normal bundle. This implies that the cycle class of a curve with ample normal bundle is big, giving an affirmative…

We solve Teissier's proportionality problem for transcendental nef classes over a compact K\"ahler manifold which says that the equality in the Khovanskii-Teissier inequalities hold for two nef and big classes if and only if the two classes…

Tile B-splines in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are defined as autoconvolutions of the indicators of tiles, which are special self-similar compact sets whose integer translates tile the space $\mathbb{R}^d$. These functions are not piecewise-polynomial,…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb C$. Let $n,d\geq 1$. Let $\mathcal Q$ be the Quot scheme parameterizing torsion quotients of the vector bundle $\mathcal O^n_C$ of degree $d$. In this article we study the nef cone of…

In this note, we report on a work jointly done with C. Simpson on a generalization of Reznikov's theorem which says that the Chern-Simons classes and in particular the Deligne Chern classes (in degrees $> 1$) are torsion, of a flat vector…

We prove that the type A, level one, conformal blocks divisors on $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ span a finitely generated, full-dimensional subcone of the nef cone. Each such divisor induces a morphism from $\bar{M}_{0,n}$, and we identify its image as a…

We consider the class of smooth convex functions defined over an open convex set. We show that this class is essentially different than the class of smooth convex functions defined over the entire linear space by exhibiting a function that…

In this paper we propose an algorithm for exact partitioning of high-order models. We define a general class of $m$-degree Homogeneous Polynomial Models, which subsumes several examples motivated from prior literature. Exact partitioning…

We study aisles in the derived category of a hereditary abelian category. Given an aisle, we associate a sequence of subcategories of the abelian category by considering the different homologies of the aisle. We then obtain a sequence,…

Given an invertible sheaf, does it come from a Cartier divisor? This might fail in presence of embedded components. I give some examples and characterize those invertible sheaves that allow a Cartier divisor.

We introduce Seshadri constants for line bundles in a relative setting. They generalize the classical Seshadri constants of line bundles on projective varieties and their extension to vector bundles studied by Beltrametti-Schneider-Sommese…

We prove the Cone Theorem for algebraically integrable foliations. As a consequence, we show that termination of flips implies the b-nefness of the moduli part of a log canonical pair with respect to a contraction, generalising the case of…

On a projective surface it is well-known that the set of curves orthogonal to a nef line bundle is either finite or uncountable. We show that this dichotomy fails in higher dimension by constructing a nef line bundle on a threefold which is…
