Karasev conjectured that for any set of $3k$ lines in general position in the plane, which is partitioned into $3$ color classes of equal size $k$, the set can be partitioned into $k$ colorful 3-subsets such that all the triangles formed by…

Superconformal indices of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge theories factorize into holomorphic blocks. We interpret this as a modular property resulting from the combined action of an $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ and $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes…

By applying the theory of the minimal model program for adjoint foliated structures, we establish the Sarkisov program for algebraically integrable foliations on klt varieties: any two Mori fiber spaces of such structure are connected by a…

Let X be a smooth projective threefold, and let A be an ample line bundle such that $K_X+A$ is nef. We show that if $K_X$ or $-K_X$ is pseudoeffective, the adjoint bundle $K_X+A$ has global sections. We also give a very short proof of the…

It was recently shown by Gross, Hacking, and Keel that, in the absence of frozen indices, a cluster A-variety with generic coefficients is the universal torsor of the corresponding cluster X-variety with corresponding coefficients. We…

There are many examples of 3-folds of general type with $\chi(\mathcal {O})=1$ found by Iano-Fletcher and Reid about twenty years ago. Iano-Fletcher has ever proved $P_{12}(X)\ge 1$ and $P_{24}(X)\ge 2$ for all minimal 3-folds $X$ of…

I prove that the full Fock-Goncharov conjecture holds for $\mathrm{Conf}_3^\times(\widetilde{\mathcal{F}\hspace{-1.6pt}\ell})$-- the configuration space of triples of decorated flags in generic position. As a key ingredient of this proof, I…

We give a proof of Mukai's Theorem on the existence of certain exceptional vector bundles on prime Fano threefolds. To our knowledge this is the first complete proof in the literature. The result is essential for Mukai's biregular…

We prove that a conjecture of Fomin, Fulton, Li, and Poon, associated to ordered pairs of partitions, holds for many infinite families of such pairs. We also show that the bounded height case can be reduced to checking that the conjecture…

Partial duality is a duality of ribbon graphs relative to a subset of their edges generalizing the classical Euler-Poincare duality. This operation often changes the genus. Recently J.L.Gross, T.Mansour, and T.W.Tucker formulated a…

Wu, Zhang and Li [4] conjectured that the set of vertices of any simple graph $G$ can be equitably partitioned into $\lceil(\Delta(G)+1)/2\rceil$ subsets so that each of them induces a forest of $G$. In this note, we prove this conjecture…

This article studies germs of holomorphic vector fields at the origin of C3 that are tangent to holomorphic foliations of codimension one. Two situations are considered. First, we assume hypotheses on the reduction of singularities of the…

The well known bunkbed conjecture about percolation on finite graphs is now resolved; Gladkov, Pak and Zimin, building upon work of Hollom, have constructed a counterexample. We revisit this conjecture and study it in the broader context of…

Global solutions to the obstacle problem were first completely classified in two dimensions by Sakai using complex analysis techniques. Although the complex analysis approach produced a very succinct proof in two dimensions, it left the…

This is a companion note to our paper 'Some advances on Sidorenko's conjecture', elaborating on a remark in that paper that the approach which proves Sidorenko's conjecture for strongly tree-decomposable graphs may be extended to a broader…

The main result of this note is an effective uniform bound for the number of deformation types of certain nonisotrivial families of canonically polarized manifolds. It extends the author's earlier such bound for the classical Shafarevich…

We prove that the genus $g$, the relative irregularity $q_f$ and the Clifford index $c_f$ of a non-isotrivial fibration $f$ satisfy the inequality $q_f \leq g - c_f$. This gives in particular a proof of Xiao's conjecture for fibrations…

A conjecture, known as the Shokurov-Koll\'ar connectedness principle, predicts the following. Let $(X,B)$ be a pair, and let $f \colon X \rightarrow S$ be a contraction with $-(K_X + B)$ nef over $S$; then, for any point $s \in S$, the…

In this paper we prove a conjecture about the dimension of linear systems of surfaces of degree d in P^3 through at most eight multiple points in general position.

We study Gushel-Mukai (GM) varieties of dimension 4 or 6 in characteristic $p$. Our main result is the Tate conjecture for all such varieties over finitely generated fields of characteristic $p\geq 5$. In the case of GM sixfolds, we follow…
