We construct examples of projective toric surfaces whose blow-up at a general point has a non-polyhedral pseudo-effective cone, both in characteristic $0$ and in every prime characteristic $p$. As a consequence, we prove that the…
We generalized the construction of deformations of affine toric varieties of K. Altmann and our previous construction of deformations of weak Fano toric varieties to the case of arbitrary toric varieties by introducing the notion of…
We prove that $p$-primary cohomology classes of a torus $T$ over a global function field of characteristic $p$ may be split by suitable separable $p$-primary extensions. More precisely, we show that such cohomology classes will split in any…
In this thesis we study toric degenerations of projective varieties. We compare different constructions to understand how and why they are related as s first step towards developing a global framework. In focus are toric degenerations…
We investigate the relation between essential divisors and F-blowups, in particular, address the problem whether all essential divisors appear on the $e$-th F-blowup for large enough $e$. Focusing on the case of normal affine toric…
In this paper, we investigate carefully the blow-up behaviour of sequences of solutions of some elliptic PDE in dimension two containing a nonlinearity with Trudinger-Moser growth. A quantification result had been obtained by the first…
Withdrawn by the authors, the main theorem is incorrect
In this paper I verify Manin's conjecture for a class of rational projective toric varieties with a large class of heights other than the usual one that comes from the standard metric on projective space.
We prove that small deformations of a projective variety of general type are also projective varieties of general type, with the same plurigenera. Version 2: small changes in first half. Improved version of the second half is now a separate…
This paper is painfully withdrawn.
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors, due a crucial error in Sec. 3.
This article deals with universal deformations of dihedral representations with a particular focus on the question when the universal deformation is dihedral. Results are obtained in three settings: (1) representation theory, (2) algebraic…
This note provides a brief guide to the current state of the literature on Tarski's problems with emphasis on features that distinguish the approach based on combinatorial and algorithmic group theory from the topological approach to…
This work discusses combinatorial and arithmetic aspects of cohomology vanishing for divisorial sheaves on toric varieties. We obtain a refined variant of the Kawamata-Viehweg theorem which is slightly stronger. Moreover, we prove a new…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to the gaps in the proofs of Proposition 2.2 and Proposition 3.2
This paper is being withdrawn because an error was discovered in lemma 4.3. Although the rest of the paper appears to be correct, this error invalidates the proof of theorem 3.1 and theorem 3.3.
We extend the decoupling results of the first two authors to the case of real analytic surfaces of revolution in $\mathbb{R}^3$. New examples of interest include the torus and the perturbed cone.
This paper has been withdrawn due to an incorrect analysis in Section 4.
We generalize a theorem of Delzant classifying compact connected symplectic manifolds with completely integrable torus actions to certain singular symplectic spaces. The assumption on singularities is that if they are not finite quotient…
In this paper we show that iterating Nash blowups or normalized Nash blowups does not resolve the singularities of algebraic varieties of dimension four or higher over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic.
