We solve the problem on flat extensions of a generic surface with boundary in Euclidean 3-space, relating it to the singularity theory of the envelope generated by the boundary. We give related results on Legendre surfaces with boundaries…

In this paper, we generalize the notion of rational singularities for any reflexive sheaf of rank $1$, link our notion of rational singularities with the notion of rational singularities in [Kov11], and prove generalizations of standard…

The conjugate locus of a point on a surface is the envelope of geodesics emanating radially from that point. In this paper we show that the conjugate loci of generic points on convex surfaces satisfy a simple relationship between the…

We further the classification of rational surface singularities. Suppose $(S, \mathfrak{n}, \mathcal{k})$ is a strictly Henselian regular local ring of mixed characteristic $(0, p > 5)$. We classify functions $f$ for which $S/(f)$ has an…

We consider the locus of irreducible nonsingular rational curves of degree d Pn, n>2, meeting a generic collection of linear subspaces. When this locus is 0 (resp 1)- dimensional, we compute (recursively) its degree (resp. geometric genus).…

This paper deals with a study of the rational elliptic surfaces whose $J$-invariant functions are of degree one. Almost all of these elliptic surfaces have four singular fibers, while the remaining surfaces have only three singular fibers.…

Let $\overline{\rho}: G_{\mathbf{Q}} \rightarrow {\rm GSp}_4(\mathbf{F}_3)$ be a continuous Galois representation with cyclotomic similitude character -- or, what turns out to be equivalent, the Galois representation associated to the…

We prove the statement/conjecture of M. Kontsevich on the existence of the logarithmic formality morphism. This question was open since 1999, and the main obstacle was the presence of $dr/r$ type singularities near the boundary $r=0$ in the…

We prove rationality results for moduli spaces of elliptic K3 surfaces and elliptic rational surfaces with fixed monodromy groups.

Any counterexample to the two-dimensional Jacobian Conjecture gives a rational map from one projective plane to another. We use some ideas of the Minimal Model Program to study the combinatorial structure of a rational surface, that is…

We investigate geometric properties of surfaces given by certain formulae. In particular, we calculate the singular curvature and the limiting normal curvature of such surfaces along the set of singular points consisting of singular points…

We study log canonical models of foliated surfaces of general type. In particular, we show that log canonical models of general type and their minimal partial du Val resolutions are bounded. Moreover, we show the valuative criteria of…

We investigate the distribution of rational points on singular cubic surfaces, whose coordinates have few prime factors. The key tools used are universal torsors, the circle method and results on linear equations in primes.

An algorithmic proof of the General Neron Desingularization theorem is given for $2$-dimensional local rings and morphisms with small singular locus.

We study the reflectional symmetry of a surface in the Euclidean 3-dimensional space with a cross-cap singularity with respect to planes. This symmetry is picked up by the singularities of folding maps on the cross-cap. We give a list of…

Using McMullen's rational surface automorphisms, we construct projective rational manifolds of higher dimension admitting automorphisms of positive entropy with arbitrarily high number of Siegel disks and those with exactly one Siegel disk.

For an ample line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ on a complete toric surface $X$, we consider the subset $V_{\mathcal{L}} \subset \vert \mathcal{L} \vert$ of irreducible, nodal, rational curves contained in the smooth locus of $X$. We study the…

Let $C$ be an irreducible projective plane curve in the complex projective space ${\mathbb{P}}^2$. The classification of such curves, up to the action of the automorphism group $PGL(3,{\mathbb{C}})$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^2$, is a very difficult…

It is known that every nonorientable surface $\Sigma$ has an orientable double cover $\tilde{\Sigma}$. The covering map induces an involution on the moduli space $\tilde{\M}$ of gauge equivalence classes of flat $G$-connections on…

We extend results from an earlier paper giving reconstruction results for the endomorphism monoid of the rational numbers under the strict and reflexive relations to the first order reducts of the rationals and the corresponding…
