In [19], the authors give minimal embedded toric resolutions of ADE-singularities in C^3 by constructing regular refinements of their dual Newton polyhedrons with the elements of their embedded valuation sets derived from the jet schemes…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the nonsingular projective toric variety associated to a building set to be weak Fano in terms of the building set.
For a Fano threefold admitting a full exceptional collection of vector bundles of length four we show that all full exceptional collections consist of shifted vector bundles. We prove this via a detailed study of the group generated by…
We construct families of non-toric $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminal Fano ($\mathbb{Q}$-Fano) threefolds of codimension $\geq 20$ corresponding to 54 mutation classes of rigid maximally mutable Laurent polynomials. From the point of view of…
We prove that the Fano variety of lines of a generic cubic fourfold containing a plane is isomorphic to a moduli space of twisted stable complexes on a K3 surface. On the other hand, we show that the Fano varieties are always birational to…
Topological invariants such as characteristic classes are an important tool to aid in understanding and categorizing the structure and properties of algebraic varieties. In this note we consider the problem of computing a particular…
Almost toric manifolds form a class of singular Lagrangian fibered symplectic manifolds that is a natural generalization of toric manifolds. Notable examples include the K3 surface, the phase space of the spherical pendulum and rational…
For a generic anti-canonical hypersurface in each smooth toric Fano 4-fold with rank 2 Picard group, we prove there exist three isolated rational curves in it. Moreover, for all these 4-folds except one, the contractions of generic…
Toric orbifolds are a topological generalization of projective toric varieties associated to simplicial fans. We introduce some sufficient conditions on the combinatorial data associated to a toric orbifold to ensure the existence of an…
This work deals with the study of embeddings of toric Calabi-Yau fourfolds which are complex cones over the smooth Fano threefolds. In particular, we focus on finding various embeddings of Fano threefolds inside other Fano threefolds and…
Birational Calabi-Yau threefolds in the same deformation family provide a `weak' counterexample to the global Torelli problem, as long as they are not isomorphic. In this paper, it is shown that deformations of certain desingularized…
We give an explicit construction for the extension of a symmetric determinantal quartic K3 surface to a Fano 6-fold. Remarkably, the moduli of the 6-fold extension are in one-to-one correspondence with the moduli of the quartic surface. As…
We study the structure of rational Picard groups of hypersurfaces of toric varieties. By using the fan structure associated to the ambient toric variety, an explicit basis of the Picard group is described by certain combinatorial data. We…
We propose new definitions of integral, reduced, and normal superrings and superschemes to properly establish the notion of a supervariety. We generalize several results about classical reduced rings and varieties to the supergeometric…
Motivated by bases of representations compatible with the PBW filtration for basic Lie superalgebras by Kus and Fourier, we generalise the construction of degenerations of flag varieties via favourable modules to the super setup. In the…
We characterize the birational geometry of some hyperk\"ahler fourfolds of Picard rank $3$ obtained as the Fano varieties of lines on cubic fourfolds containing pairs of cubic scrolls. In each of the two cases considered, we identify all of…
Using deformation theory of rational curves, we prove a conjecture of Sommese on the extendability of morphisms from ample subvarieties when the morphism is a smooth (or mildly singular) fibration with rationally connected fibers. We apply…
In this paper we construct a spectral sequence computing a modified version of morphic cohomology of a toric variety (even when it is singular) in terms of combinatorial data coming from the fan of the toric variety.
We classify all smooth projective toric surfaces $S$ containing exactly one exceptional curve. We show that every such surface $S$ is isomorphic to either $\mathbb{F}_1$ or a surface $S_r$ defined by a rational number $r \in \mathbb{Q}…
Resolutions of the diagonal of toric varieties has been an active area of study since Beilinson's celebrated resolution of the diagonal for $\PP^n$ and the disproof of King's conjecture. The author generalized a cellular resolution of the…
