Let $C$ be a smooth curve of genus $g \geq 1$ and let $C^{(2)}$ be its second symmetric product. In this note we prove that if $C$ is very general, then the blow-up of $C^{(2)}$ at a very general point has non-polyhedral pseudo-effective…

In light of Sen's weak coupling limit of F-theory as a type IIB orientifold, the compatibility of the tadpole conditions leads to a non-trivial identity relating the Euler characteristics of an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau fourfold and…

The aim of this note is to point out that Chern characters can be computed using curvatures o ``super-connections up to homotopy'. We also present an application to the vanishing theorem for Lie algebroids which is at the origin of new…

We report in this survey some new results concerning noncommutative Chern characters: construction and the cases when they are exactly computed. The major result indicates some clear relation of these noncommutative objects and their…

This note mainly studies the generic finiteness of \phi_m of a complex projective 3-fold of general type. A new result on the classification to bicanonical pencil for Gorenstein 3-folds is attached in the last section.

In this paper and in its sequel [BKLV], we investigate the cone ${\rm Pseff}_n(C_d)$ of pseudoeffective $n$-cycles in the symmetric product $C_d$ of a smooth curve $C$. In the present paper, we study the convex-geometric properties of the…

We bound the second Chern class of the tangent sheaf of a codimension-one foliation. Equivalently, we bound the degree of the pure codimension-two part of the singular scheme. In particular, for a degree-$d$ foliation on the projective…

The existence and continuity for the Calderon projector of the perturbed odd signature operator on a 3-manifold is established. As an application we give a new proof of a result of Taubes relating the mod 2 spectral flow of a family of…

We construct Chern-Weil classes on infinite dimensional vector bundles with structure group contained in the algebra $\cl[\leq 0](M, E)$ of non-positive order classical pseudo-differential operators acting on a finite rank vector bundle $E$…

We give a construction of the second Chern number of a vector bundle over a smooth projective surface by means of adelic transition matrices for the vector bundle. The construction does not use an algebraic $K$-theory and depends on the…

In this paper, we classify projective toric birational morphisms from Gorenstein toric 3-folds onto the 3-dimensional affine space with relatively ample anti-canonical divisors.

The main result of the present article is a (practically optimal) criterium for the pseudoeffectivity of the twisted relative canonical bundles of surjective projective maps. Our theorem has several applications in algebraic geometry; to…

Let $X$ be a nonsingular variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$, and $D$ be a free divisor with Jacobian ideal of linear type. We compute the Chern class of the sheaf of logarithmic derivations along $D$…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a foliation on a projective manifold $X$ with $-K_{\mathcal{F}}$ nef. Assume that either $\mathcal{F}$ is regular, or it has a compact leaf. We prove that there is a locally trivial fibration $f\colon X\to Y$, and a…

We prove Chern conjecture, which states that the Euler characteristic vanishes for closed flat affine manifolds. Our key innovation is a deformation argument for the Euler form.

Yan and Chen proved a weak Cartan-type second main theorem for holomorphic curves meeting hypersurfaces in projective space that included truncated counting functions. Here we give an explicit estimate for the level of truncation.

This paper aims to develop a theory of projective and affine structures on higher-dimensional varieties in positive characteristic. This theory deals with Frobenius-projective and Frobenius-affine structures, which have been previously…

We generalize the Chern class relation for the transversal intersection of two nonsingular varieties to a relation for possibly singular varieties, under a 'splayedness' assumption. The relation is shown to hold for both the…

We investigate properties and describe examples of tilt-stable objects on a smooth complex projective threefold. We give a structure theorem on slope semistable sheaves of vanishing discriminant, and describe certain Chern classes for which…

In this paper, we prove the ampleness conjecture and Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on K-trivial fourfolds. Specifically, we show that any strictly nef divisors on projective fourfolds with trivial canonical bundle and…
