Reider's Theorem on the very ampleness of adjoint linear series on a complex projective algebraic surface is extended in two new directions. First, Reider-type inequalities are shown to imply nefness of linear series of the form dH - E on…

Given a rational dominant map $\phi: Y \dashrightarrow X$ between two generic hypersurfaces $Y,X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ of dimension $\ge 3$, we prove (under an addition assumption on $\phi$) a "Noether-Fano type" inequality $m_Y \ge m_X$…

The theory of Newton--Okounkov bodies provides direct relations and points out analogies between the theory of mixed volumes of convex bodies, on the one hand, and the intersection theories of Cartier divisors and of Shokurov $b$-divisors,…

We consider normal projective n-dimensional varieties X whose anticanonical divisor class -K is ample and where every Weil divisor is a rational multiple of K. The index i is the largest integer such that K/i exists as a Weil divisor. We…

We make a very detailed analysis of the numerical properties of effective divisors whose support is contained in the exceptional locus of a birational morphism of smooth projective surfaces. As an application we extend Miyaoka's inequality…

Roe's partitioned manifold index theorem applies when a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ is cut into two pieces along a compact hypersurface $N$. It states that a version of the index of a Dirac operator on $M$ localized to $N$ equals the…

The divisor theory of graphs views a finite connected graph $G$ as a discrete version of a Riemann surface. Divisors on $G$ are formal integral combinations of the vertices of $G$, and linear equivalence of divisors is determined by the…

Let $X$ be an arithmetic variety over the ring of integers of a number field $K$, with smooth generic fiber $X_K$. We give a formula that relates the dimension of the first Arakelov-Chow vector space of $X$ with the Mordell-Weil rank of the…

Let $(S,\mathcal{F})$ be a foliated surface over the complex number of general type, i.e., the Kodaira dimension $\mathrm{Kod}(\mathcal{F})=2$. We study the geometry of the canonical map $\varphi$ of the foliated surface $(S,\mathcal{F})$,…

The main result of this paper is a Pfaffian formula for the partition function of the dimer model on a graph G embedded in a closed, possibly non-orientable surface S. This formula is suitable for computational purposes, and it is obtained…

A broadly applicable geometric approach for constructing nef divisors on blow ups of algebraic surfaces at n general points is given; it works for all surfaces in all characteristics for any n. This construction is used to obtain…

For a divisor $D$ on a tropical variety $X$, we define two amounts in order to estimate the value of $h^{0}(X,D)$, which are described by terms of global sections and computed more easily than $h^{0}(X,D)$. As an application of its…

Let D be a divisor in a complex analytic manifold X. A natural problem is to determine when the de Rham complex of meromorphic forms on X with poles along D is quasi-isomorphic to its subcomplex of logarithmic forms. In this mostly…

We get a new inequality on the Hodge number $h^{1,1}(S)$ of fibred algebraic complex surfaces $S$, which is a generalization of an inequality of Beauville. Our inequality implies the Arakelov type inequalities due to Arakelov, Faltings,…

Using the method of moving frames we analyze the algebra of differential invariants for surfaces in three-dimensional affine geometry. For elliptic, hyperbolic, and parabolic points, we show that if the algebra of differential invariants is…
