This is a corrected version of my paper "Application of integral geometry to minimal surfaces" appeared in International J. Math. vol. 4 Nr. 1 (1993), 89-111. The correction concerns Proposition 3.5. We discuss this correction in Appendix…

We give a corrected version of Corollary 3.33 in: H. Flenner, S. Kaliman, and M. Zaidenberg, Birational transformations of weighted graphs. Affine algebraic geometry. Osaka Univ. Press, 2007, 107-147.

Since their introduction in 1994, the Seiberg-Witten invariants have become one of the main tools used in 4-manifold theory. In this thesis, we will use these invariants to identify sufficient conditions for a 3-manifold to fibre over a…

We compare the deformation theory and the analytic structure of the Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces of a K\"ahler surface to the corresponding components of the Hilbert scheme, and show that they are isomorphic. Next we show how to compute the…

This is an English translation of the following paper, published several years ago: Nikonorov Yu.G. On the geodesic diameter of surfaces with involutive isometry (Russian), Tr. Rubtsovsk. Ind. Inst., 2001, V. 9, 62-65, Zbl. 1015.53041. All…

We give a reformuation of the Tate conjecture for a surface over a finite field in terms of suitable affine open subsets. We then present three attempts to prove this reformulation, each of them falling short. Interestingly, the last two…

We study the geometry of Nieto's quintic threefold (Barth & Nieto, J. Alg. Geom. 3, 1994) and the Kummer and abelian surfaces that correspond to special loci.

This is an overview of some of the invariants that were discovered by Welschinger in the context of enumerative real algebraic geometry. Their definition finds a natural setup in real symplectic geometry. In particular, they can be studied…

We derive a formula for the Dijkgraaf-Witten invariants of orientable Seifert 3-manifolds with orientable bases.

This text is a survey of derived algebraic geometry. It covers a variety of general notions and results from the subject with a view on the recent developments at the interface with deformation quantization.

Expanded version of the author's contribution to the Concise Encyclopaedia of Supersymmetry, eds. J. Bagger, S. Duplij and W. Siegel

We construct examples of algebraic surfaces with interesting fundamental groups.

We prove a conjecture of Durr, Kabanov and Okonek which provides an algebro-geometric theory of Seiberg-Witten invariants for all smooth projective surfaces. Our main technique is the cosection localization principle of virtual cycles.

An application of the Gordan-Hilbert finite algebraic basis theorem is suggested.

In the paper we formulate and derive the family blowup formula of family Seiberg-Witten invariants. The formula has been used in the enumerative application of counting singular curves on algebraic surfaces. We first give a topological…

In our previous work, we provided an algebraic proof of the Zinger's comparison formula between genus one Gromov-Witten invariants and reduced invariants when the target space is a complete intersection of dimension two or three in a…

In this note, we give a slight improvement of a result of A. K\"uronya and V. Lozovanu about higher syzygies on abelian surfaces.

This is a survey article, based on the author's lectures in the 2015 Current developments in Mathematics meeting; published in "Current developments in Mathematics". Version 2, references corrected and added.

There were some errors in paper hep-th/9303018 in formulas 6.1, 6.6, 6.8, 6.11. These errors have been corrected in the present version of this paper. There are also some minor changes in the introduction.

Due to the recent renewal in the interest for embedded surfaces we provide a list of commented references of interest.
