We study the relationship between derived categories of factorizations on gauged Landau-Ginzburg models related by variations of the linearization in Geometric Invariant Theory. Under assumptions on the variation, we show the derived…
In this paper we investigate the degrees of irrationality of degenerations of $\epsilon$-lc Fano varieties of arbitrary dimensions. We show that given a generically $\epsilon$-lc klt Fano fibration $X\to Z$ of dimension $d$ over a smooth…
We develop a technique to study curves in a variety which has a degeneration into some union of varieties. The class of such varieties is very broad, but the theory becomes particularly useful when the variety has a degeneration into a…
We give a natural notion of nondegeneracy for singular points of integrable non-Hamiltonian systems, and show that such nondegenerate singularities are locally geometrically linearizable and deformation rigid in the analytic case. We…
We prove an $L^2$ theorem on generically surjective morphism of holomorphic vector bundles via a degeneration argument, generalizing the author's previous work on the $L^2$ division theorem of Skoda. The proof is based on Berndtsson's…
Let $Y \subset \P^r$ be a normal nondegenerate m-dimensional subvariety and let $\sigma(Y)$ denote the maximum dimension of a subvariety $Z \subset Y_{smooth}$ such that $Z$ contains a generic point of some divisor on $Y$ and the tangent…
We study the behaviour of rational curves tangent to a hypersurface under degenerations of the hypersurface. Working within the framework of logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory, we extend the degeneration formula to the logarithmically…
We constructed a projective moduli space of semistable torsion free sheaves with `fixed determinant' on a reducible curve. When a family of smooth curves degenerates to the reducible curve, our moduli space is a degeneration of the moduli…
In this article we study the deformation of finite maps and show how to use this deformation theory to construct varieties with given invariants in a projective space. Among other things, we prove a criterion that determines when a finite…
The existence of certain monomial hyperovals $D(x^k)$ in the finite Desarguesian projective plane $PG(2,q)$, $q$ even, is related to the existence of points on certain projective plane curves $g_k(x,y,z)$. Segre showed that some values of…
An orthogonal bundle over a curve has an isotropic Segre invariant determined by the maximal degree of a Lagrangian subbundle. This invariant, and the induced stratifications on moduli spaces of orthogonal bundles, were studied for bundles…
We prove general superrigidity results for actions of irreducible lattices on CAT(0) spaces; first, in terms of the ideal boundary, and then for the intrinsic geometry (including for infinite-dimensional spaces). In particular, one obtains…
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,…
We systematically study the moduli theory of symplectic varieties (in the sense of Beauville) which admit a resolution by an irreducible symplectic manifold. In particular, we prove an analog of Verbitsky's global Torelli theorem for the…
We study the resonant prescribed T-curvature problem on a compact 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary. We derive sharp energy and gradient estimates of the associated Euler-Lagrange functional to characterize the critical points…
In this note, we prove that for every ordinary genus-2 curve $X$ over a finite field $\kappa$ of characteristic 2 with $\text{Aut}(X/\kappa)=\db{Z}/2\db{Z} \times S_3$, there exist $\text{SL}(2,\kappa\sembrack{s})$-representations of…
We address the following question: Given a polarized toric surface (S,L), and a general integral curve C of geometric genus g in the linear system |L|, do there exist degenerations of C in |L| to general integral curves of smaller geometric…
Given an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero, we study the incidence relation between points and irreducible projective curves, or more precisely the poset of irreducible proper subvarieties of $\mathbb P^2(K)$. Answering…
We consider arbitrary polarized variations of Hodge structure of weight two and $h^{2,0}=1$ over a non--singular complex algebraic curve $S$ and analyze the boundary behaviour of the associated Kudla--Millson theta series using Schmid's…
We consider generalizations of Szpiro's classical discriminant conjecture to hyperelliptic curves over a number field $K$, and to smooth, projective and geometrically connected curves $X$ over $K$ of genus at least one. The main results…
