We classify commutative algebraic monoid structures on normal affine surfaces over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The answer is given in two languages: comultiplications and Cox coordinates. The result follows from a…

What polynomial in the coefficients of a system of algebraic equations should be called its discriminant? We prove a package of facts that provide a possible answer. Let us call a system typical, if the homeomorphic type of its set of…

We introduce a new equivalence relation, denoted by $A.Q.E.D.$ (= Algebraic-Quasi-\'Etale- Deformation) for complete algebraic varieties with canonical singularities: it is generated by birational equivalence, by flat algebraic…

Let $f\colon M^{2n}\to\mathbb{R}^{2n+p}$ denote an isometric immersion of a Kaehler manifold of complex dimension $n\geq 2$ into Euclidean space with codimension $p$. If $2p\leq 2n-1$, we show that generic rank conditions on the second…

In complex geometry a classical and useful invariant of a complex manifold is its Kodaira dimension. Since its introduction by Iitaka in the early 70's, its behavior under deformations was object of study and it is known that Kodaira…

We show that any smooth and proper dg-algebra (over some base ring k) is determined, up to quasi-isomorphism, by its underlying A_n-algebra, for a certain integer n. Similarly, any morphism between two smooth and proper dg-algebras is…

The paper studies representation theoretic aspects of a nonabelian version of the Jacobian for a smooth complex projective surface $X$ introduced in [R1]. The sheaf of reductive Lie algebras $\bf\calG$ associated to the nonabelian Jacobian…

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…

We show that a faithful projective-injective module over a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ has the double centraliser property if and only if $A$ as a bimodule is reflexive. More generally, we provide a new characterisation of the classical…

We prove that any two-dimensional moduli space of stable 2-vector bundles, in the non-filtrable range, on a primary Kodaira surface is a primary Kodaira surface. If a universal bundle exists, then the two surfaces are homeomorphic up to…

Let X be a real projective algebraic manifold, s numerates connected components of X(R) and _2Br(X) the subgroup of elements of order 2 of the cohomological Brauer group Br(X). We study the natural homomorphism \xi : _2Br(X) \to (Z/2)^s and…

We prove an analog of Belyi's theorem for the algebraic surfaces. Namely, any non-singular algebraic surface can be defined over a number field if and only it covers the complex projective plane with ramification at three knotted…

We compute the cohomological Hall algebra of zero-dimensional sheaves on an arbitrary smooth quasi-projective surface $S$ with pure cohomology, deriving an explicit presentation by generators and relations. When $S$ has trivial canonical…

A well known consequence of the Wirtinger inequality is that in a Kaehler surface a holomorphic curve is an area minimizer in its homology class. In light of this result it is natural, given a Kaehler surface, to investigate the relation…

It is proved that if X is a compact Hausdorff space of Lebesgue dimension $\dim(X)$, then the squaring mapping $\alpha_{m} \colon (C(X)_{\mathrm{sa}})^{m} \to C(X)_{+}$, defined by $\alpha_{m}(f_{1},..., f_{m}) = \sum_{i=1}^{m} f_{i}^{2}$,…

In this article we study how the birational geometry of a normal projective variety $X$ is influenced by a normal subvariety $A \subset X.$ One of the most basic examples in this context is provided by the following situation. Let $f:X\to…

A consequence of the results of Bers and Griffiths on the uniformization of complex algebraic varieties is that the universal cover of a family of Riemann surfaces, with base and fibers of finite hyperbolic type, is a contractible…

Let X be a smooth complex projective surface. We prove that for any sufficiently big m there exists a rational dominant map f from X into a complex rational ruled surface Y, such that f is generically finite of degree m and has monodromy…

A graded-division algebra is an algebra graded by a group such that all nonzero homogeneous elements are invertible. This includes division algebras equipped with an arbitrary group grading (including the trivial grading). We show that a…

Let $X$ be a topological space. We consider certain generalized configuration spaces of points on $X$, obtained from the cartesian product $X^n$ by removing some intersections of diagonals. We give a systematic framework for studying the…
