In this paper we consider convex improper affine maps of the 3-dimensional affine space and classify their singularities. The main tool developed is a generating family with properties that closely resembles the area function for non-convex…
We show that the deformation space of complex parallelisable nilmanifolds can be described by polynomial equations but is almost never smooth. This is remarkable since these manifolds have trivial canonical bundle and are holomorphic…
We show that a problem by Yau can not be true in general. The counterexamples are constructed based on the recent work of Wu and Zheng.
The isotropic 3-space \mathbb{I}^{3} is a real affine 3-space endowed with the metric dx^{2}+dy^{2}. In this paper we describe Weingarten and linear Weingarten affine translation surfaces in \mathbb{I}^{3}. Further we classify the affine…
In this paper we show that some 3-dimensional isometry algebras, specifically those of type I, II, III and V (according Bianchi's classification), can be obtained as expansions of the isometries in 2 dimensions. It is shown that in general…
It is well known that not every convex multifunction admits an affine selection. One could ask whether there exists at least local affine selection. The answer is positive in the finite-dimensional case. The main part of this note consists…
Already in $\bf{R}^4$, there are many known examples of minimal hypersurfaces, yet few structural results. We show that minimal submanifolds, of any dimension, that are confined in space are very restricted. It is well-known that the…
The ample hierarchy of geometries of stables theories is strict. We generalise the construction of the free pseudospace to higher dimensions and show that the n-dimensional free pseudospace is \omega-stable n-ample yet not (n+1)-ample. In…
In 2006, Kawaguchi proved a lower bound for height of h(f(P)) when f is a regular affine automorphism of A^2, and he conjectured that a similar estimate is also true for regular affine automorphisms of A^n for n>2. In this paper we prove…
We show that results obtained in paper Foundations of Physics 33, No. 7, 1107 (2003), are not correct.
It is shown that a lower bound of the Kobayashi metric of convex domains in C^n does not hold for non-convex domains.
We prove an x-ray estimate in general dimension which is stronger than the Kakeya estimates of Wolff. This generalizes an x-ray estimate in three dimensions which is also due to Wolff.
We prove that Seshadri constants of some ample divisors are bigger than 1 on smooth threefolds whose anticanonical bundle is nef or on Fano varieties of small coindice. The main tools are (some known cases of) the Kawamata's effective…
We give a simple proof of a theorem of Katz and Morrison.
We present some unexpected examples related to the Kobayashi pseudodistance: For an unramified covering, the vanishing of the Kobayashi pseudodistance on the base does not imply the vanishing on the total space. The vanishing of the…
We prove the convergence and divergence cases of an inhomogeneous Khintchine-Groshev type theorem for dual approximation restricted to affine subspaces in $\mathbb{R} ^n$. The divergence results are proved in the more general context of…
Let $(X,L)$ be an $n$-dimensional polarized variety. Fujita's conjecture says that if $L^n>1$ then the adjoint bundle $K_X+nL$ is spanned and $K_X+(n+1)L$ is very ample. There are some examples such that $K_X+nL$ is not spanned or…
We prove a rigidity result for Serrin's overdetermined problem in a cone that is contained in a half-space in arbitrary dimensions. In the special case where the cone is an epigraph, this result was shown previously in low dimensions with a…
We study the behavior of the Kodaira dimension of algebraic fiber spaces over threefolds. We prove some cases of the Iitaka Conjecture $C_{n,3}$, including certain situations where the base variety is a Calabi--Yau threefold.
We give, in dimensions three or greater, an example of a bounded, pseudoconvex, circular domain in complex space with smooth real analytic boundary and non-compact automorphism group which is not biholomorphically equivalent to any…
