In this article we prove the following boundedness result: Fix a DCC set $I\subset [0, 1]$. Let $\mathfrak{D}$ be the set of all log pairs $(X, \Delta)$ satisfying the following properties: (i) $X$ is a projective surface defined over an…

We prove two theorems on the locally finite decompositions of the cones of divisors by the cones which correspond to canonical and minimal models. We introduce the concept of the numerical linear systems in order to simplify the argument on…

Basepoint free cycles on the moduli space $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ of stable n-pointed rational curves, defined using Gromov-Witten invariants of smooth projective homogeneous spaces X are studied. Intersection formulas to find classes are…

Let $(X,B)$ be a projective log canonical pair such that $B$ is a $\Q$-divisor, and that there is a surjective morphism $f\colon X\to Z$ onto a normal variety $Z$ satisfying: $K_X+B\sim_\Q f^*M$ for some $\Q$-divisor $M$, and the augmented…

We extend Reider's freeness criterion to normal surfaces of characteristic 0. Let Y be a normal surface. Let D be a nef divisor on Y such that K_Y+D is a Cartier divisor. Let x be a point on Y. If x is a base point of |K_Y+D| and…

We study graded rings associated to big divisors on LC pairs whose difference with the log-canonical divisor is nef. For divisors that are positive enough at the LC centers of the pair, we prove the finite generation of such rings if the…

We prove that the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem holds for a log Calabi-Yau surface $(X, B)$ over an algebraically closed field of large characteristic when $B$ has standard coefficients.

Let X be a smooth projective surface of irregularity 0. The Hilbert scheme of n points on X parameterizes zero-dimensional subschemes of X of length n. In this paper, we discuss general methods for studying the cone of ample divisors on the…

We prove divisorial canonicity of Fano hypersurfaces and double spaces of general position with elementary singularities.

By a theorem of Reider, a twisted bicanonical system, that means a linear system of divisors numerically equivalent to a bicanonical divisor, on a minimal surface of general type, is base point free if $K^2_S \geq 5$. Twisted bicanonical…

In 1985 Xiao Gang proved that the bicanonical system of a complex surface $S$ of general type with $p_2(S)>2$ is not composed of a pencil [Bull. Soc. Math. France, 113 (1985), 23--51]. When in the end of the 80's it was finally proven that…

We use the Borisov-Keum equations of a fake projective plane and the Borisov-Yeung equations of the Cartwright-Steger surface to show the existence of a regular surface with canonical map of degree 36 and of an irregular surface with…

We provide a characterization of asymptotical speciality of a nef and big divisor $D$ on an algebraic surface in terms of the arithmetic genus of curves in $D^{\perp}$. As a consequence we prove that the SHGH conjecture for linear systems…

We show that if $\mathcal{F}$ is an algebraically integrable foliation on a $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial normal projective variety $X$, $ A, B \geq 0$ are $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on $X$ with $A$ ample such that $(\mathcal{F}, B)$ is foliated dlt…

We formulate a conjecture on the behavior of the minimal free resolutions of sets of general points on arbitrary varieties embedded by complete linear series, in analogy with the well-known Minimal Resolution Conjecture for points in…

We use the square peg problem for smooth curves to prove a generalized table Theorem for real valued functions on Riemannian surfaces with odd Euler characteristic. We then use this result to prove the table conjecture for even functions on…

In this paper, we construct counterexamples to the boundedness of generalised log canonical models of surfaces with fixed appropriate invariants, where the underlying varieties can have arbitrary Kodaira dimension. This answers a question…
