For nonsingular projective 3-folds $X$ (of general type) whose geometric genus $p_g=h^0(X, K_X)$ is $\geq 5$, the birationality of the fourth canonical map $\varphi_{4,X}=\Phi_{|4K_X|}$ was characterized by D.-Q. Zhang and the first author…

Let A^2 be the affine plane over a field K of characteristic 0. Birational morphisms of A^2 are mappings A^2 \to A^2 given by polynomial mappings \phi of the polynomial algebra K[x,y] such that for the quotient fields, one has K(\phi(x),…

We prove that for any smooth projective $3$-fold of general type with canonical volume greater than $12^6$, the image of its bicanonical map has dimension at least $2$. We also study pluricanonical maps of $3$-folds of general type with…

This paper aims to investigate effectivity problems of pluricanonical systems on varieties of general type in positive characteristic. In practice, we will consider a sub-linear system $|S^0_{-}(X, K_X + nK_X)| \subseteq |H^0(X, K_X…

We prove that every non-trivial structure of a rationally connected fibre space (and so every structure of a Mori-Fano fibre space) on a general (in the sense of Zariski topology) hypersurface of degree $M$ in the $(M+1)$-dimensional…

We consider the multicanonical systems $\vert mK_{S}\vert$ of quasi-elliptic surfaces with Kodaira dimension $1$ in characteristic 2. We show that for any $m \geq 6$ $\vert mK_{S}\vert$ gives the structure of quasi-elliptic fiber space, and…

In this article we prove the following boundedness result: Fix a DCC set $I\subset [0, 1]$. Let $\mathfrak{D}$ be the set of all log pairs $(X, \Delta)$ satisfying the following properties: (i) $X$ is a projective surface defined over an…

From the point of view of uniform bounds for the birationality of pluricanonical maps, irregular varieties of general type and maximal Albanese dimension behave similarly to curves. In fact Chen-Hacon showed that, at least when their…

We prove that the $5$-canonical map of every minimal projective $3$-fold $X$ with $K_X^3\geq 86$ is stably birational onto its image, which loosens previous requirements $K_X^3>4355^3$ and $K_X^3>12^3$ respectively given by Todorov and…

We prove that any pair of bivariate trinomials has at most 5 isolated roots in the positive quadrant. The best previous upper bounds independent of the polynomial degrees were much larger, e.g., 248832 (for just the non-degenerate roots)…

We show, for several fake projective planes with nontrivial automorphism group, that the bicanonical map is an embedding.

We consider the set of all 2-step recurrences (difference equations) that are given by linear fractional maps. These give birational maps of the plane. We determine the degree growth of these birational maps. We find the all the maps in…

We consider a family of surfaces of general type $S$ with $K_S$ ample, having $K^2_S = 24, p_g (S) = 6, q(S)=0$. We prove that for these surfaces the canonical system is base point free and yields an embedding $\Phi_1 : S \rightarrow…

Given a fibration over a perfect field of positive characteristic, we study an Iitaka-type inequality for the anticanonical divisors. We conclude that it holds when the source of the fibration is a threefold or when the target is a curve,…

Let X be a smooth Fano variety of dimension at least 4. We show that if X has an elementary birational contraction sending a divisor to a curve, then the Picard number of X is smaller or equal to 5.

In this note, we investigate pluri-half-anticanonical systems on the so called LeBrun twistor spaces. We determine its dimension, the base locus, structure of the associated rational map, and also structure of general members, in precise…

In this paper, we investigate the explicit birational geometry for projective $\epsilon$-lc varieties polarised by nef and big Weil divisors. We show that if $X$ is a projective $\epsilon$-lc variety, $H$ is a nef and big Weil divisor with…

We discuss here a generalization of a theorem by Dunfield stating that the peripheral holonomy map, from the character variety of a 3-manifold to the A-polynomial is birational. Dunfield's proof involves the rigidity of maximal volume. The…

There are many examples of 3-folds of general type with $\chi(\mathcal {O})=1$ found by Iano-Fletcher and Reid about twenty years ago. Iano-Fletcher has ever proved $P_{12}(X)\ge 1$ and $P_{24}(X)\ge 2$ for all minimal 3-folds $X$ of…

We prove that any smooth complex projective variety with generic vanishing index bigger or equal than 2 has birational bicanonical map. Therefore, if X is a smooth complex projective variety X with maximal Albanese dimension and…
