The deformation theory of singular varieties plays a central role in understanding the geometry and moduli of algebraic varieties. For a variety $X$ with possibly singular points, the space of first-order infinitesimal deformations is given…

We classify smooth surfaces whose higher cohomologies of i-forms for all i vanish. We show that if such a surface is not affine, then it has essentially two possibilities.

In this article we obtain a complete description of the congruences of lines in $\p^4$ of order one provided that the fundamental surface $F$ is non-reduced (and possibly reducible) at one of its generic points, and their classification…

We use constructions of surfaces as abelian covers to write down exceptional collections of line bundles of maximal length for every surface $X$ in certain families of surfaces of general type with $p_g=0$ and $K_X^2=3,4,5,6,8$. We also…

This paper deals with properties of the algebraic variety defined as the set of zeros of a "typical" sequence of polynomials. We consider various types of "nice" varieties: set-theoretic and ideal-theoretic complete intersections,…

We characterize plane curve germes non-degenerate in Kouchnirenko's sense in terms of characteristics and intersection multiplicities of branches.

This is a detailed study of the infinitesimal variation of the variety of lines through a point of a low degree hypersurface in pro jective space. The motion is governed by a system of partial differential equations which we describe…

An effective divisor D on a smooth (compact complex) surface X is called even, if its class $[D] \in H^2(X,\Z)$ is divisible by 2. D may be assumed reduced w.l.o.g. Then D being even is equivalent to the existence of a double cover $Y \to…

We find a relation between a cubic hypersurface $Y$ and its Fano variety of lines $F(Y)$ in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. We prove that if the class of an affine line is not a zero-divisor in the Grothendieck ring of varieties, then…

A line field on a manifold is a smooth map which assigns a tangent line to all but a finite number of points of the manifold. As such, it can be seen as a generalization of vector fields. They model a number of geometric and physical…

Let $X$ be a cubic fourfold that has only simple singularities and does not contain a plane. We prove that the Fano variety of lines on $X$ has the same analytic type of singularity as the Hilbert scheme of two points on a surface with only…

We prove that every non-degenerate toric variety, every homogeneous space of a connected linear algebraic group without non-constant invertible regular functions, and every variety covered by affine spaces admits a surjective morphism from…

We consider log deformations of affine surfaces with fibrations by the affine lines. Such a fibration is of affine type (resp. of complete type) if the base curve of the fibration is an affine curve (resp. a complete curve). The case of…

Inspired by Bondal's conjecture, we study the behavior of exceptional sequences of line bundles on rational C*-surfaces under homogeneous degenerations. In particular, we provide a sufficient criterion for such a sequence to remain…

Consider a graphed holomorphic surface $u=F(x,y)$ in $\mathbb{C}^3_{x,y,u}$ under the action of the affine transformation group $A(3)$. In 1999, Eastwood and Ezhov obtained a list of homogeneous models by determining possible tangential…

Affine varieties among all algebraic varieties have simple structures. For example, an affine variety does not contain any complete algebraic curve. In this paper we study affine related properties of strata of $k$-differentials on smooth…

We construct certain non-degenerate maps and sets, mainly in the complex-analytic category. For example, we show that for every countable subset S in an irreducible complex space X there exists a holomorphic map from the unit disk to X such…

We compute all the simply connected homogeneous and infinitesimally homogeneous surfaces admitting one or more invariant affine connections. We find exactly six non equivalent simply connected homogeneous surfaces admitting more than one…

The aim of this paper is to study finite orthogonal polynomials on a cone of revolution and its surface. We define two classes of finite orthogonal polynomials on the solid cone and derive their corresponding differential equations and…

Consider a one-parameter family of smooth projective varieties X_t which degenerate into a simple normal crossing divisor at t=0. What is the dual variety in the limit? We answer this question for a hypersurface of degree d degenerate to…
