We formulate a generalization of Vojta's conjecture in terms of log pairs and variants of multiplier ideals. In this generalization, a variety is allowed to have singularities. It turns out that the generalized conjecture for a log pair is…
We classify all the irrational pencils over the surfaces of general type with p=q=2. This classification adds a new evidence to a Catanese conjecture which states that if S has p=q=2 but no irrational pencils then it is the double cover of…
In this note we find a bound for the so-called global linear Harbourne constants for smooth hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^{3}_{\mathbb{C}}$
We give an overview of the constrained Willmore problem and address some conjectures arising from partial results and numerical experiments. Ramifications of these conjectures would lead to a deeper understanding of the Willmore functional…
We discuss connections between certain well-known open problems related to the uniform measure on a high-dimensional convex body. In particular, we show that the "thin shell conjecture" implies the "hyperplane conjecture". This extends a…
The weighted bounded negativity conjecture considers a smooth projective surface $X$ and looks for a common lower bound on the quotients $C^2/(D\cdot C)^2$, where $C$ runs over the integral curves on $X$ and $D$ over the big and nef…
The physical consistency of the match of piecewise-$C^0$ metrics is discussed. The mathematical theory of gravitational discontinuity hypersurfaces is generalized to cover the match of regularly discontinuous metrics. The mean-value…
It is pointed out that despite of the non-linearity of the underlying equations, there do exist rather general methods that allow to generate new minimal surfaces from known ones.
We classify surfaces of general type whose bicanonical map is composed with a rational map of degree 2 onto a rational or ruled surface.
We first study the mean value of certain restricted divisor sums involving the Chowla-Walum sums, improving in particular a recent estimate given by Iannucci. The aim of the second part of this work is the generalization of the previous…
In this paper we study sets of points in the plane with rational distances from r prescribed points P_1, ...,P_r. A crucial case arises for r = 3, where we provide simple necessary and sufficient conditions for the density of this set in…
As the title ``Generalized regularity and solution concepts for differential equations'' suggests, the main topic of my thesis is the investigation of generalized solution concepts for differential equations, in particular first order…
We prove two local inequalities for divisors on surfaces and study their applications.
In this paper we give a new and simplified proof of the variational Hodge conjecture for complete intersection cycles on a hypersurface in projective space.
In this article we give a general approach to the following analogue of Shafarevich's conjecture for some polarized algebraic varieties; suppose that we fix a type of an algebraic variety and look at families of such type of varieties over…
As the sequel to [3], we construct a minimal complex surface of general type with p_g=0, K^2=2 and H_1=Z/2Z using a rational blow-down surgery and Q-Gorenstein smoothing theory. We also present an example of p_g = 0,K^2 = 2 and H_1 = Z/3Z.
We answer some enumerative questions about irreducible rational curves on Hirzebruch surfaces, by combining an idea of Kontsevich with the study of the geometry of certain natural parameter spaces. Our formulas generalize Kontsevich's…
A new, simple method to approach enumerative questions about rational curves on rational surfaces is described. Applications include a short proof of Kontsevich's formula for plane curves and a the solution of the analogous problem for the…
Artin's conjecture is established for all forms that can be realised as a diagonal form on an hyperplane.
We prove a conjecture of Voisin that no two distinct points on a very general hypersurface of degree $2n$ in ${\mathbb P}^n$ are rationally equivalent.
