The Schwarzian equations satisfied by certain Hauptmoduls (i.e., uniformizing functions for Riemann surfaces of genus zero) are derived from the Picard-Fuchs equations for families of elliptic curves and associated surfaces. The…

The deformation approach of arXiv:2104.07816 for computing zeta functions of one-parameter Calabi-Yau threefolds is generalised to cover also multiparameter manifolds. Consideration of the multiparameter case requires the development of an…

This is an introduction to the geometry of compact Riemann surfaces, largely following the books Farkas-Kra, Fay, Mumford Tata lectures. 1) Defining Riemann surfaces with atlases of charts, and as locus of solutions of algebraic equations.…

We show that projective K3 surfaces with odd Picard rank contain infinitely many rational curves. Our proof extends the Bogomolov-Hassett-Tschinkel approach, i.e., uses moduli spaces of stable maps and reduction to positive characteristic.

We compute the Yukawa couplings among chiral fields in toroidal Type II compactifications with wrapping D6-branes intersecting at angles. Those models can yield realistic standard model spectrum living at the intersections. The Yukawa…

We compute an explicit rank bound on the Picard group of the compact surfaces, which can serve as the base of an elliptic Calabi-Yau variety with canonical singularities. To bound the Picard rank from above, we develop a novel strategy in…

We compute a complete set of isomorphism classes of cubic fourfolds over $\mathbb{F}_2$. Using this, we are able to compile statistics about various invariants of cubic fourfolds, including their counts of points, lines, and planes; all…

This paper contains an attempt to formulate rigorously and to check predictions in enumerative geometry of curves following from Mirror Symmetry. The main tool is a new notion of stable map. We give an outline of a contsruction of…

We study geometric properties of linear strata of uni-singular curves. The singularities of closures of the strata are resolved and the resolutions are represent as projective bundles. This enables to study their geometry. In particular we…

An old question of Mori asks whether in dimension at least three, any smooth specialization of a hypersurface of prime degree is again a hypersurface. A positive answer to this question is only known in degrees two and three. In this paper,…

We describe a new relation between the topology of hypersurface complements, Milnor fibers and degree of gradient mappings. In particular we show that any projective hypersurface has affine parts which are bouquets of spheres. The main…

We calculate the cohomology spaces of the Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces with values in locally constant systems. For that purpose, we generalise I. Grojnoswki's and H. Nakajima's description of the ordinary cohomology in terms of a…

We develop a geometric version of the circle method and use it to compute the compactly supported cohomology of the space of rational curves through a point on a smooth affine hypersurface of sufficiently low degree.

We study the Dirichlet problem for functions whose graphs are spacelike hypersurfaces with prescribed curvature in the Minkowski space and we obtain some new interior second order estimates for admissible solutions to the corresponding…

We prove new theorems which are higher-dimensional generalizations of the classical theorems of Siegel on integral points on affine curves and of Picard on holomorphic maps from $\mathbb{C}$ to affine curves. These include results on…

In this article we study infinitesimal deformations of toric hypersurfaces. We introduce a Kodaira-Spencer map and compute its kernel. By introducing some new Laurent polynomials we make our computation as explicit as possible. This widely…

A version of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method is developed for number fields K/Q and is used to show that non-singular projective cubic hypersurfaces over K always have a K-rational point when they have dimension at least 8.

Using an explicit version of the Mumford isomorphism on the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves we derive a closed formula for the Arakelov-Green function of a hyperelliptic Riemann surface evaluated at its Weierstrass points.

In this paper, we extend our geometrical derivation of expansion coefficients of mirror maps by localization computation to the case of toric manifolds with two K\"ahler forms. Especially, we take Hirzebruch surfaces F_{0}, F_{3} and…

We study some automorphic cohomology classes of degree one on the Griffiths-Schmid varieties attached to some unitary groups in 3 variables. Using partial compactifications of those varieties, constructed by K. Kato and S. Usui, we define…
