We construct a surface with log terminal singularities and ample canonical class that has $K_X^2=1/48 983$ and a log canonical pair $(X,B)$ with a nonempty reduced divisor $B$ and ample $K_X+B$ that has $(K_X+B)^2 = 1/462$. Both examples…

A determination of the fixed components, base points and irregularity is made for arbitrary numerically effective divisors on any smooth projective rational surface having an effective anticanonical divisor. All of the results are proven…

A quadratic twist of the L-function associated with a modular form is known to satisfy a functional equation, which may be even or odd. A result due to Gross and Zagier explicitly computes the central value of the L-function or its…

The multivariate resultant is a fundamental tool of computational algebraic geometry. It can in particular be used to decide whether a system of n homogeneous equations in n variables is satisfiable (the resultant is a polynomial in the…

In this article we prove a general result on a nef vector bundle $E$ on a projective manifold $X$ of dimension $n$ depending on the vector space $H^{n,n} (X, E). $ It is also shown that $H^{n,n} (X, E)=0$ for an indecomposable nef rank 2…

We study a pair of Calabi-Yau threefolds X and M, fibered in non-principally polarized Abelian surfaces and their duals, and an equivalence D^b(X) = D^b(M), building on work of Gross, Popescu, Bak, and Schnell. Over the complex numbers, X…

We show that, for a $K_0$-regular projective normal surface $X$ over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic and a reduced effective Cartier divisor $D\hookrightarrow X$, the Chow group of zero cycles on $X$ with modulus $D$…

Let $X$ be a product of smooth projective curves over a finite unramified extension $k$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Suppose that the Albanese variety of $X$ has good reduction and that $X$ has a $k$-rational point. We propose the following…

In the present paper, we study the essential normality of quotient modules over the polydisc. It is shown that if the zero variety of homogenous ideal $I$ is a distinguished variety, then its quotient module is $(1,\infty)$-essentially…

We provide a sufficient condition for a linear differential operator with constant coefficients $P(D)$ to be surjective on $C^\infty(X)$ and $\mathscr{D}'(X)$, respectively, where $X\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ is open. Moreover, for certain…

Given a smooth surface $X$ over a field and an effective Cartier divisor $D$, we provide an exact sequence connecting $CH_0(X,D)$ and the relative $K$-group $K_0(X,D)$. We use this exact sequence to answer a question of Kerz and Saito…

We investigate conditions for logarithmic complete monotonicity of a quotient of two products of gamma functions, where the argument of each gamma function has different scaling factor. We give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms…

We present algorithms for basic computations with monoids in finitely generated abelian groups such as monoid membership testing and computing an element of the conductor ideal. Applying them to Mori dream spaces, we obtain algorithms to…

We study various geometric properties of log Calabi-Yau manifolds, i.e. log smooth pairs $(X,D)$ such that $K_X+D=0$. More specifically, we focus on the two cases where $X$ is a Fano manifold and $D$ is either smooth or has two proportional…

A universal coefficient theorem is proved for C*-algebras over an arbitrary finite T_0-space X which have vanishing boundary maps. Under bootstrap assumptions, this leads to a complete classification of unital/stable real-rank-zero…

We prove that any nef b-divisor class on a projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 is a decreasing limit of nef Cartier classes. Building on this technical result, we construct an intersection…

We study the Cox ring and monoid of effective divisor classes of $\overline{M}_{0,n} = Bl\mathbb{P}^{n-3}$, over a ring R. We provide a bijection between elements of the Cox ring, not divisible by any exceptional divisor section, and…

Given an n-dimensional variety Z with rational singularities, we conjecture that for a resolution of singularities whose reduced exceptional divisor E has simple normal crossings, the (n-1)-th higher direct image of the sheaf of…

In this paper, we study some properties of the ring $C(X)_F$ of all real valued functions which are continuous except on some finite subsets of $X$. We show that $C(X)_F$ is closed under uniform limit if and only if the set of all…

In this paper we show that every complex hypersurface $A$ in a Stein manifold $X$ with $H^2(X;\mathbb Z)=0$ is the divisor of a holomorphic function $f$ on $X$ whose critical points are precisely the singular points of $A$. A similar result…
