We highlight a relation between the existence of Sarkisov links and the finite generation of (certain) Cox rings. We introduce explicit methods to use this relation in order to prove birational rigidity statements. To illustrate, we…

We show that complex Fano hypersurfaces can have arbitrarily large degrees of irrationality. More precisely, if we fix a Fano index e, then the degree of irrationality of a very general complex Fano hypersurface of index e and dimension n…

We prove that a generic (in the sense of Zariski topology) Fano complete intersection $V$ of the type $(d_1,...,d_k)$ in ${\mathbb P}^{M+k}$, where $d_1+...+d_k=M+k$, is birationally superrigid if $M\geq 7$, $M\geq k+3$ and $\mathop{\rm…

We show that the topologically protected flat band emerging on a surface of a nodal fermionic system promotes the surface superconductivity due to an infinitely large density of states associated with the flat band. The critical temperature…

In this paper we study the geometry of mildly singular Fano varieties on which there is an effective prime divisor of Picard number one. Afterwards, we address the case of toric varieties. Finally, we treat the lifting of extremal…

We address the following question: When an affine cone over a smooth Fano threefold admits an effective action of the additive group? In this paper we deal with Fano threefolds of index 1 and Picard number 1. Our approach is based on a…

In this work, we investigate the behaviour of the covering gonality of a very general hypersurface in a product of projective spaces. Inspired by the work of Bastianelli, Ciliberto, Flamini and Suppino in [BCFS19] which addresses the case…

We classify the locally factorial Fano fourfolds of Picard number two with a hypersurface Cox ring that admit an effective action of a three-dimensional torus.

This note is about cycle-theoretic properties of the Fano variety of lines on a smooth cubic fivefold. The arguments are based on the fact that this Fano variety has finite-dimensional motive. We also present some results concerning Chow…

In this paper, we show that any compact manifold that carries a SL(n;R)-foliation is fibered on the circle S^1.

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H\subseteq G$ be its subgroup. We prove that if a smooth del Pezzo surface over an algebraically closed field is $H$-birationally rigid then it is also $G$-birationally rigid, answering a geometric version of…

We give a lower bound for the delta invariant of the fundamental divisor of a quasi-smooth weighted hypersurface. As a consequence, we prove K-stability of a large class of quasi-smooth Fano hypersurfaces of index 1 and of all smooth Fano…

In this paper, we study holomorphic foliations of degree four on complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$, where $n\geq 3$, with a special focus on obtaining a structural theorem for these foliations. Furthermore, for a foliation…

Let $(X,B)$ be a log Calabi-Yau pair of dimension $n$, index one, and birational complexity $c$. We show that $(X,B)$ has a crepant birational model that admits a tower of Mori fiber spaces of which at least $n-c$ are conic fibrations.…

We study slopes of finite cyclic covering fibrations of a fibered surface. We give the best possible lower bound of the slope of these fibrations. We also give the slope equality of finite cyclic covering fibrations of a ruled surface and…

For a hyperbolic fibered 3-manifold M, we prove results that uniformly relate the structure of surface projections as one varies the fibrations of M. This extends our previous work from the fully-punctured to the general case.

We classify smooth Fano manifolds X with the Picard number $\rho_X \geq 3$ such that there exists an extremal ray which has a birational contraction that maps a divisor to a point.

We find a relation between a cubic hypersurface $Y$ and its Fano variety of lines $F(Y)$ in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. We prove that if the class of an affine line is not a zero-divisor in the Grothendieck ring of varieties, then…

In the present paper, we revisit the rigidity of hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. We highlight Darboux equation and give new proof of rigidity of hypersurfaces by energy method and maximal principle.

In this paper, we classify Fano manifolds with elementary contractions of birational type such that the second or third exterior power of tangent bundles are numerically effective.
