We prove that the product of an Enriques surface and a very general curve of genus at least 1 does not satisfy the integral Hodge conjecture for 1-cycles. This provides the first examples of smooth projective complex threefolds of Kodaira…

In this note we draw some interesting consequences of the recent results on squarefree Groebner degenerations obtained by Conca and the second author.

We show that the moduli space of stable n-pointed rational curves can be flatly degenerated to a projective toric variety. We arrive at this by showing that the Chow quotients of the Grassmannians admit toric degenerations, which in turn,…

Let $(X,E)$ be a smooth log Calabi-Yau pair consisting of a smooth Fano surface $X$ and a smooth anticanonical divisor $E$. We obtain certain higher genus local Gromov-Witten invariants from the projectivization of the canonical bundle $Z…

In this expository article, we prove a birational classification of smooth projective models of surfaces with negative Kodaira dimension over $\mathbb{Z}$ and over more general rings of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$, depending on their…

We consider two applications of the strata of differentials of the second kind (all residues equal to zero) with fixed multiplicities of zeros and poles: Positivity: In genus $g=0$ we show any associated divisorial projection to…

Let $k$ be a field. Let $X/k$ be a stable curve whose geometric irreducible components are smooth rational curves. Taking Stein factorization of its normalization, we get a conic. We show the conic is non-split in certain cases. As an…

We provide a complete enumeration of all quotients of genus $0, 1$ and $2$ of the Shimura curves $X_0^D(N)$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ by non-trivial subgroups of Atkin--Lehner involutions. For all $1270$ genus $1$ quotients $X$ with $N$ squarefree,…

A conjecture expressing genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants in mirror-theoretic terms of semi-simple Frobenius structures and complex oscillating integrals is formulated. The proof of the conjecture is given for torus-equivariant Gromov -…

Let X be a smooth projective curve over a perfect field k of positive characteristic. This work investigates the relationship between stratified cohomology and group cohomology of the stratified fundamental group of X.

We construct the first non-trivial examples of complete families of non-degenerate smooth space curves, and show that the base of such a family cannot be a rational curve. Both results rely on the study of the strong semistability of…

Jensen, Su, and Yang described the projective indecomposable modules of the $0$-Schur algebra $\mathbf{S}_0(n,r)$ using its geometric realization. In this paper, the simple modules of $\mathbf{S}_0(n,r)$ are identified by computing the tops…

Let $F$ be a field complete with respect to a discrete valuation whose residue field is perfect of characteristic $p>0$. We prove that every smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve of genus one defined over $F$ with a non-zero…

Given a morphism between smooth projective varieties $f: W \to X$, we study whether $f$-relatively free rational curves imply the existence of $f$-relatively very free rational curves. The answer is shown to be positive when the fibers of…

If a smooth projective threefold $X$ satisfies a certain Property A (see below for definition), then any automorphism of $X$ has zero entropy. Let $Y$ be a smooth projective threefold satisfying Property A. Let $\pi :X\rightarrow Y$ be a…

I prove a formula expressing the descendent genus g Gromov-Witten invariants of a projective variety X in terms of genus 0 invariants of its symmetric product stack S^{g+1}(X). When X is a point, the latter are structure constants of the…

In this paper we study the geometry of the Severi varieties parametrizing curves on the rational ruled surface $\fn$. We compute the number of such curves through the appropriate number of fixed general points on $\fn$, and the number of…

Twisted Gromov-Witten invariants are intersection numbers in moduli spaces of stable maps to a manifold or orbifold X which depend in addition on a vector bundle over X and an invertible multiplicative characteristic class. Special cases…

We show that two smooth projective curves C_1 and C_2 of genus g which have isomorphic symmetric products are isomorphic unless g=2. This extends a theorem of Martens.

We classify the smooth projective symmetric G-varieties with Picard number one (and G semisimple). Moreover we prove a criterion for the smoothness of the simple (normal) symmetric varieties whose closed orbit is complete. In particular we…
