Divided into three parts, the first marks out enormous geometric issues with the notion of quasi-freenss of an algebra and seeks to replace this notion of formal smoothness with an approximation by means of a minimal unital commutative…

We obtain new examples and the complete list of the rational cuspidal plane curves $C$ with at least three cusps, one of which has multiplicity ${\rm deg}\,C - 2$. It occurs that these curves are projectively rigid. We also discuss the…

The proposals of Joyce [Joy18], and Doan and Walpuski [DW19] on counting closed associative submanifolds of $G_2$-manifolds depend on various conjectural transitions. This article contributes to the study of transitions arising from the…

Let X be a complex-projective contact manifold whose second Betti-number is one. It has long been conjectured that X should then be rational-homogeneous, or equivalently, that there exists an embedding of X into a projective space whose…

A fake projective plane is a complex surface with the same Betti numbers as $\mathbb{C} P^2$ but not biholomorphic to it. We study the fake projective plane $\mathbb{P}_{\operatorname{fake}}^2 = (a = 7, p = 2, \emptyset, D_3 2_7)$ in the…

We construct projective moduli spaces for torsion-free sheaves on noncommutative projective planes. These moduli spaces vary smoothly in the parameters describing the noncommutative plane and have good properties analogous to those of…

This paper is devoted to the investigation of selected situations when the computation of projective (and other) equivalences of algebraic varieties can be efficiently solved with the help of finding projective equivalences of finite sets…

We study rational curves on general Fano hypersurfaces in projective space, mostly by degenerating the hypersurface along with its ambient projective space to reducible varieties. We prove results on existence of low-degree rational curves…

Given a smooth and projective curve C and a smooth and projective toric variety X, we first describe a compactification of the space of morphisms from C to X representing a fixed homology class, and after we study the intersection theory on…

Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…

We study real lines on certain Moishezon threefolds which are potentially twistor spaces of 3CP^2. Here, line means a smooth rational curve whose normal bundle is O(1)^2 and the reality implies the invariance under an anti-holomorphic…

Francesco Severi showed that equisingular families of plane nodal curves are T-smooth, i.e. smooth of the expected dimension, whenever they are non-empty. For families with more complicated singularities this is no longer true. Given a…

Let X be a right Hilbert C*-module over A. We study the geometry and the topology of the projective space P(X) of X, consisting of the orthocomplemented submodules of X which are generated by a single element. We also study the geometry of…

For a very general polarized $K3$ surface $S\subset \mathbb{P}^g$ of genus $g\ge 5$, we study the linear system on the Hilbert square $S^{[2]}$ parametrizing quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^g$ that contain $S$. We prove its very ampleness for…

We study the conormal sheaves and singular schemes of 1-dimensional foliations on smooth projective varieties $X$ of dimension 3 and Picard rank 1. We prove that if the singular scheme has dimension 0, then the conormal sheaf is…

We describe recent work on preprojective algebras and moduli spaces of their representations. We give an analogue of Kac's Theorem, characterizing the dimension types of indecomposable coherent sheaves over weighted projective lines in…

We classify projective toric manifolds whose dual variety is not a hypersurface in the dual projective space. Under the standard dictionary between toric geometry and convex geometry, they correspond to certain convex Delzant integer…

In this paper, we present two related results on curves of genus 3. The first gives a bijection between the classes of the following objects: * Smooth non-hyperelliptic curves C of genus 3, with a choice of an element a in Jac(C)[2]-{0},…

We show that codimension one distributions with at most isolated singularities on certain smooth projective threefolds with Picard rank one have stable tangent sheaves. The ideas in the proof of this fact are then applied to the…

On a geometrically smooth complex algebraic curve X^1 in P^2(C), represented in complex affine coordinates (x,y) as the zero-locus R(x,y) = 0 of some polynomial R of degree d >= k+3, an explicit family of generating independent holomorphic…
