Let $\pi:Z\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ be a general minimal $n$-fold conic bundle with a hypersurface $B_Z\subset\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ of degree $d$ as discriminant. We prove that if $d\geq 4n+1$ then $-K_Z$ is not pseudo-effective, and that if…
Let M be a singular irreducible complex manifold of dimension n. There are Q divisors D[-1], D[0], D[1],...,D[n+1] on Nash's manifold U -> M such that D[n+1] is relatively ample on bounded sets, D[n] is relatively eventually basepoint free…
In the paper \cite{Lau16}, it was shown that the restriction of a pseudoeffective divisor $D$ to a subvariety $Y$ with nef normal bundle is pseudoeffective. Assuming the normal bundle is ample and that $D|_Y$ is not big, we prove that the…
The main goal of this article is to construct "arithmetic Okounkov bodies" for an arbitrary pseudo-effective (1,1)-class $\alpha$ on a K\"ahler manifold. Firstly, using Boucksom's divisorial Zariski decompositions for pseudo-effective…
We construct canonical semi-orthogonal decompositions for derived categories of smooth projective surfaces. These decompositions are compatible with the operations in the minimal model program, such as blow-ups and conic bundles. Therefore…
We consider the Zariski space of all places of an algebraic function field $F|K$ of arbitrary characteristic and investigate its structure by means of its patch topology. We show that certain sets of places with nice properties (e.g., prime…
We prove that for smooth projective threefolds whose anticanonical divisors are nef, the second Chern classes are pseudo-effective under a weak assumption. As an application, the pseudo-effectivity of the second Chern classes implies that…
We show that if $f\colon X \to T$ is a surjective morphism between smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with geometrically integral and non-uniruled generic fiber, then $K_{X/T}$ is…
We show that nef cycle classes on smooth complete spherical varieties are effective, and the products of nef cycle classes are also nef. Let X be a smooth projective spherical variety such that its effective cycle classes of codimension k…
We give a method to describe all congruence images of a finitely generated Zariski dense group $H \leq \mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{Z})$. The method is applied to obtain efficient algorithms for solving this problem in odd prime degree $n$; if…
The goal of this work is give a precise numerical description of the K\"ahler cone of a compact K\"ahler manifold. Our main result states that the K\"ahler cone depends only on the intersection form of the cohomology ring, the Hodge…
In the first part of this note, we discuss the compact K\"ahler manifold with a strongly pseudo-effective tangent bundle. In the second part, we give new proof of the fact that the only projective manifolds with the big tangent bundle are…
We point out an example of a projective family $\pi : X \to S$, a $\pi$-pseudoeffective divisor $D$ on $X$, and a subvariety $V \subset X$ for which the asymptotic multiplicity $\sigma_V(D;X/S)$ is infinite. This shows that the divisorial…
Let $X$ be a normal projective threefold with mild singularities, and $L_X$ a strictly nef $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor on $X$. First, we show the ampleness of $K_X+tL_X$ with sufficiently large $t$ if either the Kodaira dimension $\kappa(X)\neq 0$…
We study cyclic covering morphisms from $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ to moduli spaces of unpointed stable curves of positive genus or compactified moduli spaces of principally polarized abelian varieties. Our main application is a construction of new…
Let $H$ be an ample line bundle on a non-singular projective surface $X$, and $M(H)$ the coarse moduli scheme of rank-two $H$-semistable sheaves with fixed Chern classes on $X$. We show that if $H$ changes and passes through walls to get…
Let $X$ be a projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic $p \ge 0$. A surjective endomorphism $f$ of $X$ is $q$-polarized if $f^\ast H \sim qH$ for some ample Cartier divisor $H$ and integer $q >…
In this article we construct many examples of properly convex irreducible domains divided by Zariski dense relatively hyperbolic groups in every dimension at least 3. This answers a question of Benoist. Relative hyperbolicity and non-strict…
Let $(X,o)$ be a complex normal surface singularity. We fix one of its good resolutions $\widetilde{X}\to X$, an effective cycle $Z$ supported on the reduced exceptional curve, and any possible (first Chern) class $l'\in…
In these notes we investigate the cone of nef curves of projective varieties, which is the dual cone to the cone of pseudo-effective divisors. We prove a structure theorem for the cone of nef curves of projective $\mathbb Q$-factorial klt…
