This note discusses some examples showing that the crystalline cohomology of even very mildly singular projective varieties tends to be quite large. In particular, any singular projective variety with at worst ordinary double points has…

We show various properties of smooth projective D-affine varieties. In particular, any smooth projective D-affine variety is algebraically simply connected and its image under a fibration is D-affine. In characteristic zero such D-affine…

Let X be a smooth projective variety and let K be the canonical divisor of X. In this paper, we study embeddings of X given by adjoint line bundles of the form K+L, where L is an ample line bundle. When X is a regular surface (i.e. H^1(X,…

We study deformations of complex projective varieties that are homotopically or homologically trivial. We formulate several conjectures and give some examples and partial answers.

In this paper we continue our study about the existence of Kaehler metrics of constant scalar curvature (Kcsc) on blow ups at points of compact manifolds with Kcsc metrics started in math.DG/0411522. In this second part we deal with the…

Let X be a Stein manifold, and let Y be a closed complex submanifold of X. Denote by O(X) the algebra of holomorphic functions on X. We show that the weak (i.e., flat) homological dimension of O(Y) as a Fr'echet O(X)-module equals the…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact connected complex manifolds of the same dimension with $b_2(X)= b_2(Y)$. We prove that any surjective holomorphic map of degree one from $X$ to $Y$ is a biholomorphism. A version of this was established by the…

If a smooth projective threefold $X$ satisfies a certain Property A (see below for definition), then any automorphism of $X$ has zero entropy. Let $Y$ be a smooth projective threefold satisfying Property A. Let $\pi :X\rightarrow Y$ be a…

Let f: X -> Z be a local, projective, divisorial contraction between normal varieties of dimension n with Q-factorial singularities. Let $Y \subset X$ be a f-ample Cartier divisor and assume that f|Y: Y -> W has a structure of a weighted…

In this expository paper (Bourbaki talk) we survey results of Claire Voisin showing that there exist compact Kaehler manifolds which are not homeomorphic to any projective manifold.

Let X,Y be projective schemes over a discrete valuation ring R, where Y is generically smooth and g:X \to Y a surjective R-morphism such that g_*\mathcal{O}_X = \mathcal{O}_Y. We show that if the family X \to Spec(R) is isotrivial, then the…

In this paper, we prove that for any smooth hypersurface $Y$ of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^{n+1}_k$, the cyclic $d$-fold cover $\widetilde{Y} \to \mathbb{P}^{n+1}_k$ branched along $Y$ completely characterizes $Y$ up to projective…

In arXiv1312.7267, the first non-trivial example of a Poisson manifold of strong compact type is given. The construction uses the theory of K3 surfaces and results in a Poisson manifold with leaf space $S^1$. We modify the construction to…

The following conjecture arose out of discussions between B. Harbourne, J. Ro\'e, C. Cilberto and R. Miranda: for a smooth projective surface $X$ there exists a positive constant $c_X$ such that $h^1(\mathcal O_X(C))\le c_X h^0(\mathcal…

Let M be a smooth manifold, A a local algebra, M^{A} the manifold of near points on M of kind A. We use the structure of C^{\infty}(M^{A},A)-module on the set X(M^{A}) of vector fields on M^{A} for to give the equivalence of parallelism of…

We associate to any integrable Poisson manifold a stack, i.e. a category fibered in groupoids over a site. The site in question has objects Dirac manifolds and morphisms pairs consisting of a smooth map and a closed 2-form. We show that two…

Motivated by the theory of Inoue-type varieties, we give a structure theorem for projective manifolds $W_0$ with the property of admitting a 1-parameter deformation where $W_t$ is a hypersurface in a projective smooth manifold $Z_t$. Their…

Let $X$ be a CR manifold with transversal, proper CR $G$-action. We show that $X/G$ is a complex space such that the quotient map is a CR map. Moreover the quotient is universal, i.e. every invariant CR map into a complex manifold…

We investigate the blow-up of a weighted projective plane at a general point. We provide criteria and algorithms for testing if the result is a Mori dream surface and we compute the Cox ring in several cases. Moreover applications to the…

Let M be a smooth complex projective variety and let L be a line bundle on it. Rays-positive manifolds, namely pairs (M,L) such that L is numerically effective and L\cdotR > 0 for all extremal rays R on M, are studied. Several illustrative…
