We construct closed symplectic manifolds for which spherical classes generate arbitrarily large subspaces in 2-homology, such that the first Chern class and cohomology class of the symplectic form both vanish on all spherical classes. We…
For a generic anti-canonical hypersurface in each smooth toric Fano 4-fold with rank 2 Picard group, we prove there exist three isolated rational curves in it. Moreover, for all these 4-folds except one, the contractions of generic…
We show that for all $n \ge 3$, any $(2n+1)$-dimensional manifold that admits a tight contact structure, also admits a tight but non-fillable contact structure, in the same almost contact class. For $n=2$, we obtain the same result,…
We observe that linear relations among Chern-Mather classes of projective varieties are preserved by projective duality. We deduce the existence of an explicit involution on a part of the Chow group of projective space, encoding the effect…
In this paper, we compute the nef cone and the pseudo-effective cone of $C\times J$ for a smooth projective curve $C$ and its Jacobian variety $J$ such that $C\times J$ has the minimal Picard number. As a consequence, we also compute the…
We derive an equivalence between the (2,0) superconformal M5-brane field theory dimensionally reduced on a squashed three-sphere, and Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group. In the reduction, the massless fermions obtain an action…
We show that any toric Fano manifold of dimension at most eight with the positive second Chern character is isomorphic to the projective space by using polymake.
We show that partition function of Chern-Simons theory on three-sphere with classical and exceptional groups (actually on the whole corresponding lines in Vogel's plane) can be represented as ratio of respectively triple and double sine…
In this paper, we prove that given a flat generically smooth morphism between smooth projective varieties with $F$-pure closed fibers, if the source space is Fano, weak Fano or a variety with the nef anti-canonical divisor, then so is the…
In this article we give a necessary and sufficient condition to characterize projective submanifolds in ${\mathbb P}^N$ with codimensions 2 and 3. The conditions involve the Chern classes of the manifold and a very ample line bundle on the…
We provide a characterization of quotients of three-dimensional complex tori by finite groups that act freely in codimension one via a vanishing condition on the first and second orbifold Chern class. We also treat the case of actions free…
In this paper we compare different notions of transversality for possible singular complex algebraic or analytic subsets of an ambient complex manifold and prove a refined intersection formula for their Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes. In…
We study the different notions of semipositivity for (1,1) cohomology classes on K3 surfaces. We first show that every big and nef class (and every nef and rational class) is semiample, and in particular it contains a smooth semipositive…
We discuss a difference between the rational and the real non-vanishing conjecture for pseudo-effective log canonical divisors of log canonical pairs. We also show the log non-vanishing theorem for rationally connected varieties under…
The anticanonical complex generalizes the Fano polytope from toric geometry and has been used to study Fano varieties with torus action so far. We work out the case of complete intersections in toric varieties defined by non-degenerate…
This paper studies the birational geometry of terminal Gorenstein Fano 3-folds. If Y is not Q-factorial, in most cases, it is possible to describe explicitly the divisor class group Cl Y by running a Minimal Model Program (MMP) on X, a…
We pose reciprocity conjectures of the Chern-Simons invariants of 3-manifolds, and discuss some supporting evidence on the conjectures. Especially, we show that the conjectures hold if a Galois descent of a $K_3$-group is satisfied.
We present two formulas for Chern classes of the tensor product of two vector bundles. In the first formula we consider a matrix containing Chern classes of the first bundle and we take a polynomial of this matrix with Chern classes of the…
We prove that the Newton product of efficient polynomial projectors is still efficient. Various polynomial approximation theorems are established involving Newton product projectors on spaces of holomorphic functions on a neighborhood of a…
General expressions are given for the coefficients of Chern forms up to the 13th order in curvature in terms of the Riemann-Christoffel curvature tensor and some of its concomitants (e.g., Pontrjagin's characteristic tensors) for…
