In this article we explore compactifications of cluster varieties of finite type in complex dimension two. Cluster varieties can be viewed as the spec of a ring generated by theta functions and a compactification of such varieties can be…
We develop a moduli theory of algebraic varieties and pairs of non-negative Kodaira dimension. We define stable minimal models and construct their projective coarse moduli spaces under certain natural conditions. This can be applied to a…
We show that the algebraic local fundamental group of any klt singularity as well as the algebraic fundamental group of the smooth locus of any log Fano variety are finite.
In this paper, we consider terminal reflexive polytopes arising from finite directed graphs and study the problem of deciding which directed graphs yield smooth Fano polytopes. We show that any centrally symmetric or pseudo-symmetric smooth…
We survey various notions of symmetry for toric varieties. These notions range from algebraic geometric, complex geometric, representation theoretic, combinatorial, convex geometric, to geometric stability. The main theorem gives the…
We prove that the module categories of Noether algebras (i.e., algebras module finite over a noetherian center) and affine noetherian PI algebras over a field enjoy the following product property: Whenever a direct product $\prod_{n \in…

This article is a survey of conjectures and results on reductive algebraic groups having good reduction at a suitable set of discrete valuations of the base field. Until recently, this subject has received relatively little attention, but…
We study the singularities of Legendrian subvarieties of contact manifolds in the complex-analytic category and prove two rigidity results. The first one is that Legendrian singularities with reduced tangent cones are contactomorphically…
We introduce the theory of monoidal Groebner bases, a concept which generalizes the familiar notion in a polynomial ring and allows for a description of Groebner bases of ideals that are stable under the action of a monoid. The main…
We study birational geometry of the moduli space of parabolic bundles over a projective line, in the framework of Mori's program. We show that the moduli space is a Mori dream space. As a consequence, we obtain the finite generation of the…
We study the symplectic resolution of the Fano variety of lines on some singular cyclic cubic fourfolds, i.e. cubic fourfolds arising as cyclic 3:1 cover of $\mathbb{P}^4$ branched along a cubic threefold. In particular we are interested in…
We develop the quadratic technique of proving birational rigidity of Fano-Mori fibre spaces over a higher-dimensional base. As an application, we prove birational rigidity of generic fibrations into Fano double spaces of dimension…
One of the fundamental open questions in QFT is what kind of functions appear as Feynman integrals. In recent years this question has often been considered in a geometric context by interpreting the polynomials that appear in these…
The K-moduli space of Fano varieties has been popular in recent research of algebraic geometry. There has been a lot of progress in dimension 3 and we will try to construct explicitly a compactified K-moduli space for the Fano family 2.24.
Smooth tropical cubic surfaces are parametrized by maximal cones in the unimodular secondary fan of the triple tetrahedron. There are $344\, 843 \,867$ such cones, organized into a database of $14\,373\,645$ symmetry classes. The Schl\"afli…
