We associate with an infinite cyclic cover of a punctured neighborhood of a simple normal crossing divisor on a complex quasi-projective manifold (assuming certain finiteness conditions are satisfied) an element in the Grothendieck ring…

In this paper, we give some results on the birational geometry of varieties of Fano type and boundedness problems in positive characteristic, including a result ensuring that boundedness is invariant under normalizations, a canonical bundle…

We study the Picard variety of the Fano surface of nodal and mildly cuspidal cubic threefolds in arbitrary characteristic by relating divisors on the Fano surface to divisors on the symmetric product of a curve of genus 4.

We study the birational rigidity problem for smooth Mori fibrations on del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 and 2. For degree 1 we obtain a complete description of rigid and non-rigid cases.

In this text we prove that if a smooth cubic in $\PR^5$ has its Fano variety of lines birational to the Hilbert scheme of two points on a K3 surface, then there exists a smooth projective curve or a smooth projective surface embedded in the…

We establish the slope equality and give an upper bound of the slope for finite cyclic covering fibrations of an elliptic surface including bielliptic fibrations of genus greater than 5. We also give an upper bound of the slope for triple…

We classify four-dimensional quasismooth weighted hypersurfaces with small canonical class, and verify a conjecture of Johnson and Kollar on infinite series of quasismooth hypersurfaces with anticanonical hyperplane section in the case of…

We study two rational Fano threefolds with an action of the icosahedral group $\mathfrak{A}_5$. The first one is the famous Burkhardt quartic threefold, and the second one is the double cover of the projective space branched in the Barth…

We study a simplicial mixed polynomial of cyclic type and its associated weighted homogeneous polynomial. In the present paper, we show that their links are diffeomorphic and their Milnor fibrations are isomorphic.

We prove that rigid representations of the fundamental group of a surface into the group of oreintation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle are geometric, thereby establishing a converse statement of a theorem by the first author.

We prove an analog of the classical Hartogs extension theorem for certain (possibly unbounded) domains on coverings of Stein manifolds.

In this paper, we study the rigidity of $k(\ge 1)$-extremal submanifolds in a sphere and prove various pinching theorems under different curvature conditions, including sectional and Ricci curvatures in pointwise and integral sense.

In this paper, we obtain a complete classification of smooth toric Fano varieties equipped with extremal contractions which contract divisors to curves for any dimension. As an application, we obtain a complete classification of smooth…

We give a sufficient condition for birational superrigidity of del Pezzo fibrations of degree $1$ with only $\frac{1}{2} (1,1,1)$ singular points, generalizing the so called $K^2$-condition. As an application, we also prove that a del Pezzo…

It is proved that a three-dimensional double cone is a birationally rigid variety. We also compute the group of birational automorphisms of such a variety. This work is based on the method of "untwisting" maximal singularities of linear…

Let X be a complex, Gorenstein, Q-factorial, toric Fano variety. We prove two conjectures on the maximal Picard number of X in terms of its dimension and its pseudo-index, and characterize the boundary cases. Equivalently, we determine the…

We use the specialization homomorphism for the birational automorphism group to study finite order birational automorphisms. For a family of varieties over a DVR, we prove that a birational automorphism of order coprime to the residue…

We settle the problem of K-stability of quasi-smooth Fano 3-fold hypersurfaces with Fano index 1 by providing lower bounds for their delta invariants. We use the method introduced by Abban and Zhuang for computing lower bounds of delta…
