Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface equipped with an anti-holomorphic involution \sigma. Let G be a connected complex reductive affine algebraic group, and let \sigma_G be a real form of G. We consider holomorphic principal…

The space Loc(m,S) of rank m flat bundles on a closed surface S is K_2-symplectic. A threefold M bounding S gives rise a K_2-Lagrangian in Loc(m,S) given by the flat bundles on S extending to M. We generalize this, replacing the zero…

Let $\pi: X \longrightarrow C$ be a fibration with reduced fibers over a curve $C$ and consider a polarization $H$ on the surface $X$. Let $E$ be a stable vector bundle of rank $2$ on $C$. We prove that the pullback $\pi^*E$ is a $H-$stable…

Let $K=k(C)$ be the function field of a curve over a field $k$ and let $X$ be a smooth, projective, separably rationally connected $K$-variety with $X(K)\neq\emptyset$. Under the assumption that $X$ admits a smooth projective model $\pi:…

Let $F$ be a non-zero polynomial with integer coefficients in $N$ variables of degree $M$. We prove the existence of an integral point of small height at which $F$ does not vanish. Our basic bound depends on $N$ and $M$ only. We separately…

This text is an introduction to math.AG/0110051 (to appear in Ann. Inst. Fourier), and describes a canonical decomposition of compact K\"ahler manifolds $X$ first by means of their "core", the unique fibration on $X$ with fibres special,…

Let $f:X@>>>\Bbb P^1$ be a fibered surface with fibers of genus g>1. If f is semistable and non isotrivial we prove that X of non negative Kodaira dimension implies that the number s of singular fibers is at least 5. Information about the…

Given a map $\phi:X\rightarrow Y$ between $F$-analytic manifolds over a local field $F$ of characteristic $0$, we introduce an invariant $\epsilon_{\star}(\phi)$ which quantifies the integrability of pushforwards of smooth compactly…

Let $A$ be an abelian scheme of dimension at least four over a $\mathbb{Z}$-finitely generated integral domain $R$ of characteristic zero, and let $L$ be an ample line bundle on $A$. We prove that the set of smooth hypersurfaces $D$ in $A$…

We prove a non-vanishing theorem of the cohomology H^0 of the adjoint divisor K_X + L' where L' is the round up of a nef and big Q-divisor L.

In this short note, we consider the conjecture that the log canonical divisor (resp. the anti-log canonical divisor) $K_X + \Delta$ (resp. $-(K_X + \Delta)$) on a pair $(X, \Delta)$ consisting of a complex projective manifold $X$ and a…

We show that the derived category of a locally compact Hausdorff space $X$ is smooth in the sense of non-commutative geometry if and only if $X$ is discrete and finite.

We introduce and study the base locus and the strong base locus of a projective variety X. The base locus of X parametrizes configurations of smooth points of X where the span of the tangent spaces of X at these points intersects X at some…

For each positive prime integer $p$ we construct a standard graded $F$-rational ring $R$, over a field $K$ of characteristic $p$, such that $R\otimes_K\overline{K}$ is not $F$-rational. By localizing we obtain a flat local homomorphism $(R,…

This paper investigates the geometry of a smooth canonically polarized surface $X$ defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ in the case when the automorphism scheme of $X$ is not smooth. This is a situation that…

Let $(X,B)$ be a log canonical pair and $\mathcal{V}$ be a finite set of divisorial valuations with log discrepancy in $[0,1)$. We prove that there exists a projective birational morphism $\pi \colon Y\rightarrow X$ so that the exceptional…

Given a nonconstant holomorphic map f: X -> Y between compact Riemann surfaces, one of the first objects we learn to construct is its ramification divisor R_f, which describes the locus at which f fails to be locally injective. The divisor…

We study geometrical properties of an Ulrich vector bundle $E$ of rank $r$ on a smooth $n$-dimensional variety $X \subseteq \mathbb P^N$. We characterize ampleness of $E$ and of $\det E$ in terms of the restriction to lines contained in…

For a minimal $3$-fold $X$ with $K_X\equiv 0$ and a nef and big Weil divisor $L$ on $X$, we investigate the birational geometry inspired by $L$. We prove that $|mL|$ and $|K_X+mL|$ give birational maps for all $m\geq 17$. The result remains…

A finite morphism $f:X\to \mathbb P^2$ of a a smooth irreducible projective surface $X$ is called an almost generic cover if for each point $p\in \mathbb P^2$ the fibre $f^{-1}(p)$ is supported at least on $deg(f)-2$ distinct points and $f$…
