For each adjoint variety not of type $A$ or $C$, we study the irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme which parametrizes all smooth conics. We prove that its normalization is a spherical variety by using contact geometry, and then…

We study holomorphic vector fields on isolated hypersurface singularities and derive global obstructions to the existence of holomorphic vector fields on compact singular varieties. For a hypersurface germ $(V,0)$ with an isolated…

Algebraically simply connected surfaces of general type with p_g=q=0 and 1\le K^2\le 4 in positive characteristic (with one exception in K^2=4) are presented by using a Q-Gorenstein smoothing of two-dimensional toric singularities, a…

We classify real families of minimal degree rational curves that cover an embedded rational surface. A corollary is that if the projective closure of a smooth surface is not biregular isomorphic to the projective closure of the unit-sphere,…

Every indefinite binary form occurs as the Picard lattice of some K3-surface. The group of its isometries, or automorphs, coincides with the automorphism group of the K3-surface, but only up to finite groups. The classical theory of…

We look at topological equisingularity of a holomorphic family of reduced mapping germs f_t:(C^3,O)->C over a contractible base T having non-isolated singularities, by means of their normalisations. We introduce the notion of…

We classify the polycyclic totally ordered simple dimension groups, i.e. dimension groups given by a dense embedding of n-dimensional lattice into the real line. Our method is based on the geometry of simple geodesics on the hyperbolic…

We study abelian surfaces defined over finite fields which do not contain any possibly singular curve of genus less than or equal to $3$. Firstly, we complete and expand the characterisation of isogeny classes of abelian surfaces with no…

We prove a singular version of the Engel theorem. We prove a normal form theorem for germs of holomorphic singular Engel systems with good conditions on its singular set. As an application, we prove that there exists an integral analytic…

Necessary and sufficient geometric conditions are given for domains with regular boundary points and edges to be domains of holomorphy provided the remainder boundary subset is of zero Hausdorff 1-codimensional measure.

The main message of the paper is that for Gorenstein singularities, whose (real) link is rational homology sphere, the Artin--Laufer program can be continued. Here we give the complete answer in the case of elliptic singularities. The main…

In this article we suggest a new approach to the systematic, computer-aided construction and to the classification of product-quotient surfaces, introducing a new invariant, the integer gamma, which depends only on the singularities of the…

We study the geometry of surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{4}$ with corank $1$ singularities. For such surfaces the singularities are isolated and at each point we define the curvature parabola in the normal space. This curve codifies all the second…

We classify generic unfoldings of germs of antiholomorphic diffeomorphisms with a parabolic point of codimension 1 (i.e. a double fixed point) under conjugacy. These generic unfolding depend on one real parameter. The classification is done…

A $3$-$tangle$ $T$ is the disjoint union of $3$ properly embedded arcs in the unit 3-ball; it is called rational if there is a homeomorphism of pairs from $(B^3,T)$ to $(D^2\times I,\{x_1,x_2,x_3\}\times I)$. Two rational 3-tangles $T$ and…

It is well-known that a Severi-Brauer surface has a rational point if and only if it is isomorphic to the projective plane. Given a Severi-Brauer surface, we study the problem to decide whether such an isomorphism to the projective plane,…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic not two or three. We classify up to isomorphism all finite-dimensional Lie superalgebras $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{g}_0\oplus \mathfrak{g}_1$ over $k$, where $\mathfrak{g}_0$ is a three-dimensional simple…

The natural automorphism group of a translation surface is its group of translations. For finite translation surfaces of genus g > 1 the order of this group is naturally bounded in terms of g due to a Riemann-Hurwitz formula argument. In…

We classify all possible automorphism groups of smooth cubic surfaces over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. As an intermediate step we also classify automorphism groups of quartic del Pezzo surfaces. We show that…

We study analytic integrable deformations of the germ of a holomorphic foliation given by $df=0$ at the origin $0 \in \mathbb C^n, n \geq 3$. We consider the case where $f$ is a germ of an irreducible and reduced holomorphic function. Our…
