For a Fano manifold of pseudo-index at least 3 and $c_1^2-2c_2$ nef, we show irreducibility of certain spaces of curves on the Fano manifold implies the manifold is a union of rational surfaces.

It is widely claimed that the quantile function is equivariant under increasing transformations. We show by a counterexample that this is not true (even for strictly increasing transformations). However, we show that the quantile function…

We give improved bounds for our theorem in [GW09], which shows that a system of linear forms on $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ with squares that are linearly independent has the expected number of solutions in any linearly uniform subset of…

For a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano 3-fold $X$ on which $K_X$ is a canonical divisor, we investigate the geometry induced from the linear system $|-mK_X|$ in this paper and prove that the anti-$m$-canonical map $\varphi_{-m}$ is birational onto its…

We provide enumerative formulas for the degrees of varieties parameterizing hypersurfaces and complete intersections which contain pro-jective subspaces and conics. Besides, we find all cases where the Fano scheme of the general complete…

We study the deformation theory of the Fano scheme $\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{F}(\mathrm{X})$ of lines on a cubic $\mathrm{X}$ of dimension $d$ with only finitely many singularities. By taking the relative Fano scheme, we define a morphism…

We show the existence of Bridgeland stability conditions on all Fano threefolds, by proving a modified version of a conjecture by Bayer, Toda, and the second author. The key technical ingredient is a strong Bogomolov inequality, proved…

We present a complete system of inequalities for the inradius, circumradius, and diameter in the $3$-dimensional Euclidean space. To do so, we prove quasiconcavity of the inradius evaluated over $n$-simplices with a common facet…

We show the existence of $(\epsilon,n)$-complements for $(\epsilon,\Rr)$-complementary projective generalized pairs of Fano type $(X,B+M)$ when either the coefficients of $B$ and $\mu_j$ belong to a finite set or the coefficients of $B$…

We study the Picard variety of the Fano surface of nodal and mildly cuspidal cubic threefolds in arbitrary characteristic by relating divisors on the Fano surface to divisors on the symmetric product of a curve of genus 4.

Using the method of moving frames we analyze the algebra of differential invariants for surfaces in three-dimensional affine geometry. For elliptic, hyperbolic, and parabolic points, we show that if the algebra of differential invariants is…

We study birational geometry of Fano varieties, realized as double covers $\sigma\colon V\to {\mathbb P}^M$, $M\geq 5$, branched over generic hypersurfaces $W=W_{2(M-1)}$ of degree $2(M-1)$. We prove that the only structures of a rationally…

We develop an equivariant version of the formalism of intermediate Jacobian torsor obstructions, and apply it to conic bundles over rational surfaces, quadric surface bundles over $\mathbb P^1$, and Fano threefolds.

We prove that the angle defect minus the area of a super hyperbolic triangle is not identically zero and explicitly compute the purely fermionic difference. This disproves the Angle Defect Theorem for N=1 super hyperbolic geometry and…

We give a brief survey of the concept of birational rigidity, from its origins in the two-dimensional birational geometry, to its current state. The main ingredients of the method of maximal singularities are discussed. The principal…

We investigate the combinatorial analogues, in the context of normal surfaces, of taut and transversely measured (codimension 1) foliations of 3-manifolds. We establish that the existence of certain combinatorial structures, a priori weaker…

A fake quadric is a smooth minimal surface of general type with the same invariants as the quadric in P^3, i.e. K^2=2c_2=8 and q=p_g=0. We study here quaternionic fake quadrics i.e. fake quadrics constructed arithmetically by using some…

We propose conjectural semiorthogonal decompositions for Fano schemes of linear subspaces on intersections of two quadrics, in terms of symmetric powers of the associated hyperelliptic (resp. stacky) curve. When the intersection is…

We classify all $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial Fano intrinsic quadrics of dimension three and Picard number one having at most canonical singularities.

We show boundedness of $3$-folds of $\epsilon$-Fano type with Mori fibration structures. The proof is based on the birational boundedness result in our previous work arXiv:1509.08722 combining with arguments in Kawamata \cite{K} and…
