Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \geq 11$, non-tetragonal, considered in its canonical embedding in $\mathbf{P}^{g-1}$. We prove that $C$ is a linear section of an arithmetically Gorenstein normal variety $Y$ in…
Using meromorphic differentials with real periods, we prove Arbarello's conjecture: any compact complex cycle of dimension $g-n$ in the moduli space $\M_g$ of smooth genus $g$ algebraic curves must intersect the locus of curves having a…
Consider a smooth irreducible Hodge generic curve $S$ defined over $\bar{\Q}$ in the Torelli locus $T_g\subset \mathcal{A}_g$. We establish Zilber-Pink-type statements for such curves depending on their intersection with the boundary of the…
In 1950 G. Giuga studied the congruence $\sum_{j=1}^{n-1} j^{n-1} \equiv -1$ (mod $n$) and conjectured that it was only satisfied by prime numbers. In this work we generalize Giuga's ideas considering, for each $k \in \mathbb{N}$, the…
Let C be a curve over a non-singular base variety S. We study algebraic cycles on the symmetric powers C^[n] and on the Jacobian J. The Chow homology of C^[*], the sum of all C^[n], is a ring using the Pontryagin product. We prove that this…
The Jacobian ring J(X) of a smooth hypersurface determines its isomorphism type. This has been used by Donagi and others to prove the generic global Torelli theorem for hypersurfaces in many cases. In Voisin's original proof of the global…
Let $d\geq3$ and $g\geq1$ be integers. Using a geometric construction involving the symmetric product of a projective curve, we exhibit a $d$-dimensional complete local normal domain over $\mathbb{C}$ with an isolated singularity such that…
Given an integer $\gamma\geq 2$ and an odd prime power $q$ we show that for every large genus $g$ there exists a non-singular curve $C$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of genus $g$ and gonality $\gamma$ and with exactly $\gamma(q+1)$…
Simple boundary expressions for the k-th power of the cotangent line class on the moduli space of stable 1-pointed genus g curves are found for k >= 2g. The method is by virtual localization on the moduli space of maps to the projective…
The mapping class group of a closed surface of genus $g$ is an extension of the Torelli group by the symplectic group. This leads to two natural problems: (a) compute (stably) the symplectic decomposition of the lower central series of the…
Let G2 be the exceptional Lie group of automorphisms of the complex Cayley algebra and C be a smooth, connected, projective curve of genus at least 2. Using the map obtained from extension of structure groups, we prove explicit links…
We prove the infinitesimal Torelli theorem for general minimal complex surfaces X's with the first Chern number 3, the geometric genus 1, and the irregularity 0 which have non-trivial 3-torsion divisors. We also show that the coarse moduli…
We survey results and open questions about the $p$-ranks and Newton polygons of Jacobians of curves in positive characteristic $p$. We prove some geometric results about the $p$-rank stratification of the moduli space of (hyperelliptic)…
We prove two theorems about the Malcev Lie algebra associated to the Torelli group of a surface of genus $g$: stably, it is Koszul and the kernel of the Johnson homomorphism consists only of trivial $Sp_{2g}(\mathbb{Z})$-representations…
The author proves that the generalized Suita conjecture holds for any complex torus, which means that $ \alpha\pi K \geq c^2(\alpha\in\mathbb R)$, $c$ being the modified logarithmic capacity and $K$ being the Bergman kernel on the diagonal.…
Let C be a generic smooth curve of genus g\geqslant 4. We study normal functions and infinitesimal invariants associated to Ceresa cycles W_{k}-W_{k}^{-}, k=2,...,g-2. We show how they can be obtained from the normal function associated to…
Let $(X,D)$ be a smooth log pair over $\mathbb{C}$ such that the complement $U := X \setminus D$ carries a maximally varied family of polarized manifolds. We prove a version of second main theorem on $(X,D)$ by using the Viehweg-Zuo…
We prove a generalization of Thom's transversality theorem. It gives conditions under which the jet map $f_*|_Y:Y\subseteq J^r(D,M)\ra J^r(D,N)$ is generically (for $f:M\ra N$) transverse to a submanifold $Z\subseteq J^r(D,N)$. We apply…
We consider Poncelet pairs $(S,C)$, where $S$ is a smooth conic and $C$ is a degree$-c$ plane curve having the Poncelet property with respect to $S$. We prove that for $c>4$ the projection $(S,C)\mapsto C$ is generically one-to-one and use…
Let $S_g$ be a closed, oriented surface of genus $g$, and let $\operatorname{Mod}(S_g)$ denote its mapping class group. The Torelli group $\mathcal{I}_g$ is the subgroup of $\operatorname{Mod}(S_g)$ consisting of mapping classes that act…
