We prove the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for klt Calabi-Yau pairs in dimension 2. That is, for a large class of rational surfaces as well as K3 surfaces and abelian surfaces, the action of the automorphism group of the surface on the…

We give a proof of the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for Enriques surfaces independent of their characteristic. It is based on the analysis of certain generically finite morphisms of degree two.

Koll\'ar's conjecture states that a complex projective surface $S$ with quotient singularities and with $H^2(S,\bbQ)\cong \bbQ$ should be rational if its smooth part $S^0$ is simply connected. We confirm the conjecture under the additional…

We prove the Morrison--Kawamata cone conjecture for projective primitive symplectic varieties with $\Q$-factorial and terminal singularities with $b_2\geq 5$, from which we derive for instance the finiteness of minimal models of such…

Let $X$ be a cubic fourfold in $P^5_{C}$. We prove that, assuming the Hodge conjecture for the product $S \times S$, where $S$ is a complex surface, and the finite dimensionality of the Chow motive $h(S)$, there are at most a countable…

We establish two consequences of the Kawamata--Morrison--Totaro cone conjecture, and prove them unconditionally in all dimensions. First, for a K-trivial variety, the natural action of its automorphism group on the set of ample divisor…

Let $X\subset \P^5$ be a smooth cubic fourfold. A well known conjecture asserts that $X$ is rational if and only if there an Hodge theoretically associated K3 surface $S$. The surface $S$ can be associated to $X$ in two other different…

Let $X\rightarrow S$ be a fibration of relative dimension at most two and let $(X,\Delta)$ be a klt pair for which $K_X+\Delta \equiv_S 0$. We show that there are only finitely many Mori chambers and Mori faces in the movable effective cone…

In this article, we prove that a smooth projective complex surface $X$ which is regular (i.e. such that $h^1(X,\mathcal O_X)=0$) and which has a $\mathbb{R}$-divisor $\Delta$ such that $(X,\Delta)$ is a KLT Calabi-Yau pair has finitely many…

We compute the nef cone of the Hilbert scheme of points on a general rational elliptic surface. As a consequence of our computation, we show that the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture holds for these nef cones.

For a smooth projective surface X the finite dimensionality of the Chow motive h(X), as conjectured by S.I Kimura, has several geometric consequences. For a complex surface of general type with p_g = 0 it is equivalent to Bloch's…

We consider surfaces $X$ defined by plane divisorial valuations $\nu$ of the quotient field of the local ring $R$ at a closed point $p$ of the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$ over an arbitrary algebraically closed field $k$ and centered at…

Assuming the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for the generic fiber of a Calabi-Yau fibration and the abundance conjecture, we show (1) the finiteness of minimal models, (2) the existence of a weak rational polyhedral fundamental domain…

Let $M$ be a simple holomorphically symplectic manifold, that is, a simply connected holomorphically symplectic manifold of Kahler type with $h^{2,0}=1$. We prove that the group of holomorphic automorphisms of $M$ acts on the set of faces…

We prove a conjecture of Koll\'ar stating that the local fundamental group of a klt singularity $x$ is finite. In fact, we prove a stronger statement, namely that the fundamental group of the smooth locus of a neighbourhood of $x$ is…

Let $X$ be a rational surface obtained by blowing up at a configuration $\mathcal{C}$ of infinitely near points over a Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_\delta$. We prove that there exist two positive integers $a \leq b$ such that the cone of…

The Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture predicts that the actions of the automorphism group on the effective nef cone and the pseudo-automorphism group on the effective movable cone of a klt Calabi-Yau pair $(X, \Delta)$ have finite, rational…

We consider log Calabi-Yau surfaces $(Y, D)$ with singular boundary. In each deformation type, there is a distinguished surface $(Y_e,D_e)$ such that the mixed Hodge structure on $H_2(Y \setminus D)$ is split. We prove that (1) the action…

For the Calabi-Yau threefolds $X$ constructed by C. Schoen as fiber products of generic rational elliptic surfaces, we show that the action of the automorphism group of $X$ on the K\"ahler cone of $X$ has a rationally polyhedral fundamental…

We verify the Morrison--Kawamata conjecture for a certain class of rational threefolds, namely blowups of P^3 in the base locus of a net of quadrics with no reducible members. This seems to be the first verified case of the conjecture for…
