We give a simple construction, starting with any elliptic curve E, of an n-dimensional Calabi-Yau variety of Kummer type (for any n>1), by considering the quotient Y of the n-fold self-product of E by a natural action of the alternating…

Motivated by the geometry of Levi degenerate CR hypersurfaces, we define a pre-K\"ahler structure on a complex manifold as a pre-symplectic structure compatible with the almost complex structure, i.e. a closed (1,1)-form. Extending Freeman…

We study degenerations of cluster type varieties and pairs. Our first theorem proves that degenerations of toric pairs are finite quotients of toric pairs. In a similar vein, under some mild conditions, we prove that degenerations of…

We determine normal forms for the Kummer surfaces associated with abelian surfaces of polarization of type $(1,1)$, $(1,2)$, $(2,2)$, $(2,4)$, and $(1,4)$. Explicit formulas for coordinates and moduli parameters in terms of Theta functions…

The main result of this note is a hard Lefschetz theorem for the Chow groups of generalized Kummer varieties. The same argument also proves hard Lefschetz for Chow groups of Hilbert schemes of abelian surfaces. As a consequence, we obtain…

We prove that a K3 surface with an automorphism acting on the global $2$-forms by a primitive $m$-th root of unity, $m \neq 1,2,3,4,6$, does not degenerate (assuming the existence of the so-called Kulikov models). A key result used to prove…

Let $\phi:\,X\rightarrow Y$ be a (possibly ramified) cover between two algebraic curves of positive genus. We develop tools that may identify the Prym variety of $\phi$, up to isogeny, as the Jacobian of a quotient curve $C$ in the Galois…

All reduced descendent Gromov-Witten invariants of $K3$ and abelian surfaces in primitive curve classes can be calculated by the methods of \cite{BOPY,MPT}. To handle the imprimitive curve classes, a multiple cover formula was conjectured…

In this paper a formula is proved for the general degeneracy locus associated to an oriented quiver of type A_n. Given a finite sequence of vector bundles with maps between them, these loci are described by putting rank conditions on…

We study $K$-types of degenerate principal series of ${\rm Sp}(n,\mathbb{C})$ by using two realisations of these infinite-dimensional representations. The first model we use is the classical compact picture; the second model is conjugate to…

We compute the deformations in the sense of generalized complex structures of the standard classical complex structure on a primary Kodaira surface and we prove that the obtained family of deformations is a smooth locally complete family…

We discuss degenerations of symplectic and orthogonal representations of symmetric quivers and algebras with self-dualities. As in the non-symmetric case, we define a partial ordering, that we call symmetric Ext-order which gives a…

We introduce an inseparable version of Kummer surfaces. It is defined as a supersingular K3 surface in characteristic 2 with 16 smooth rational curves forming a certain configuration and satisfying a suitable divisibility condition. The…

We construct a modular desingularisation of $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{2,n}(\mathbb{P}^r,d)^{\text{main}}$. The geometry of Gorenstein singularities of genus two leads us to consider maps from prestable admissible covers: with this enhanced…

Let $X$ be a normal crossing compact complex surface with triple points. We prove that there exists a family of smoothings of $X$ when $X$ satisfies suitable conditions. Since our differential geometric proof also includes the case where…

We investigate the class of degenerations of smooth cubic surfaces which are obtained from degenerating their Cox rings to toric algebras. More precisely, we work in the spirit of Sturmfels and Xu who use the theory of Khovanskii bases to…

We study a family of lattice polarized $K3$ surfaces which is an extension of the family of Kummer surfaces derived from principally polarized Abelian surfaces. Our family has two special properties. First, it is coming from a resolution of…

In this article, we construct new derived autoequivalences of generalised Kummer varieties. Together with Huybrechts-Thomas twists around $\mathbb{P}^n$-objects, these are the only known examples of such symmetries.

The paper discusses geometric and computational aspects associated with $(n,n)$-isogenies for principally polarized Abelian surfaces and related Kummer surfaces. We start by reviewing the comprehensive Theta function framework for…

We provide the first explicit examples of deformations of higher dimensional quadrics: a straightforward generalization of Peterson's explicit 1-dimensional family of deformations in $\mathbb{C}^3$ of 2-dimensional general quadrics with…
