Noether-Lefschetz divisors in the moduli of K3 surfaces are the loci corresponding to Picard rank at least 2. We relate the degrees of the Noether-Lefschetz divisors in 1-parameter families of K3 surfaces to the Gromov-Witten theory of the…

Under some conditions on the deformation type, which we expect to be satisfied for arbitrary irreducible symplectic varieties, we describe which big and nef line bundles on irreducible symplectic varieties have base divisors. In particular,…

The Noether-like operators that play an essential role in writing down the invariants for systems of two ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are constructed. The classification of such operators is carried out with the help of analytic…

Let (S,0) be a germ of complex analytic normal surface. On its minimal resolution, we consider the reduced exceptional divisor E and its irreducible components E_i. The Nash map associates to each irreducible component C_k of the space of…

We explore the birational structure and invariants of a foliated surface $(X, \mathcal F)$ in terms of the adjoint divisor $K_{\mathcal F}+\epsilon K_X$, $0< \epsilon \ll 1$. We then establish a bound on the automorphism group of an adjoint…

The nef cone volume appeared first in work of Peyre in a number-theoretic context on Del Pezzo surfaces, and it was studied by Derenthal and co-authors in a series of papers. The idea was subsequently extended to also measure the Zariski…

In this paper, we develop basic results of algebraic geometry over abelian symmetric monoidal categories. Let $A$ be a commutative monoid object in an abelian symmetric monoidal category $(\mathbf C,\otimes,1)$ satisfying certain conditions…

On a M\"obius surface, as defined by D. Calderbank, we study a variant of the Einstein-Weyl (EW) equation which we call scalar-flat M\"obius EW (sf-MEW). This is a conformally invariant, finite type, overdetermined system of semi-linear…

The Severi variety V_{n,d} of a smooth projective surface S is defined as the subvariety of the linear system |O_S(n)|, which parametrizes curves with d nodes. We show that, for a general surface S of degree k in P^3 and for all n>k-1,…

An inequality of Large Sieve type, efficacious in the analytic treatment of Euler products, is obtained.

For a linear system $|C|$ on a smooth projective surface $S$, whose general element is a smooth, irreducible curve, the Severi variety $V_{|C|, \delta}$ is the locally closed subscheme of $|C|$ which parametrizes irreducible curves with…

Let K be an algebraic number field, O_K the ring of integers of K, and f : X --> Spec(O_K) an arithmetic surface. Let (E, h) be a rank r Hermitian vector bundle on X such that $E$ is semistable on the geometric generic fiber of f. In this…

A general method using multipliers for finding the conserved integrals for any system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is reviewed and further developed in several ways. Multipliers are expressions whose (summed) product with a PDE…

In this text we show that the deformation space of a nodal surface $X$ of degree $d$ is smooth and of the expected dimension if $d\leq 7$ or $d\geq 8$ and $X$ has at most $4d-5$ nodes. (The case $d\leq 7$ was previously covered by Alexandru…

We extend Reider's freeness criterion to normal surfaces of characteristic 0. Let Y be a normal surface. Let D be a nef divisor on Y such that K_Y+D is a Cartier divisor. Let x be a point on Y. If x is a base point of |K_Y+D| and…

This article is concerned with the Fourier coefficients of cusp forms (not necessarily eigenforms) of half-integer weight lying in the plus space. We give a soft proof that there are infinitely many fundamental discriminants $D$ such that…

Let $(E,\F,\mu)$ be a $\si$-finite measure space. For a non-negative symmetric measure $J(\d x, \d y):=J(x,y) \,\mu(\d x)\,\mu(\d y)$ on $E\times E,$ consider the quadratic form $$\E(f,f):= \frac{1}{2}\int_{E\times E} (f(x)-f(y))^2 \, J(\d…

In an earlier work, we investigated some consequences of the existence of a K\"ahler metric of negative holomorphic sectional curvature on a projective manifold. In the present work, we extend our results to the case of semi-negative (i.e.,…
