Bielliptic surfaces appear as quotient of a product of two elliptic curves and were classified by Bagnera-Franchis. We give a concrete way of computing their GW-invariants with point insertions using a floor diagram algorithm. Using the…
This brief survey of some singularity invariants related to Milnor fibers should serve as a quick guide to references. We attempt to place things into a wide geometric context while leaving technicalities aside. We focus on relations among…
The following two loosely connected sets of topics are reviewed in these lecture notes: 1) Gauge invariance, its treatment in field theories and its implications for internal symmetries and edge states such as those in the quantum Hall…
In this paper we study heights on quotient varieties in the sense of Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). We generalise a construction of Burnol and we generalise diverse lower bounds of the height of semi-stable points due to Bost, Zhang,…
In this paper, we are concerned with the relation between the ordinarity of surfaces of general type and the failure of the BMY inequality in positive characteristic. We consider semistable fibrations $\pi:S \longrightarrow C$ where $S$ is…
We generalize results of the paper math.AG/9803144, in which Chisini's conjecture on the unique reconstruction of f by the curve B is investigated. For this fibre products of generic coverings are studied. The main inequality bounding the…
A variant of a gauge theory is formulated to describe disclinations on Riemannian surfaces that may change both the Gaussian (intrinsic) and mean (extrinsic) curvatures, which implies that both internal strains and a location of the surface…
Given a principal fibre bundle with structure group $S$, and a fibre transitive Lie group $G$ of automorphisms thereon, Wang's theorem identifies the invariant connections with certain linear maps $\psi\colon \mathfrak{g}\rightarrow…
We study the enumerative geometry of rational curves on the Hilbert schemes of points of a K3 surface. Let $S$ be a K3 surface and let $\mathsf{Hilb}^d(S)$ be the Hilbert scheme of $d$ points of $S$. In case of elliptically fibered K3…
In this paper, we prove that any two birational projective varieties with finite quotient singularities can be realized as two geometric GIT quotients of a non-singular projective variety by a reductive algebraic group. Then, by applying…
The analysis of the validity of Birkhoff's theorem about the uniqueness of the spherically symmetric solution of the gravitational field equations is extended to the framework of the Poincar\'e gauge gravity theory. The class of models with…
In this paper we construct new derived invariants with integral coefficients using the theory of motifs, and give several applications. Specifically, we obtain the following results: For complex algebraic surfaces, we prove that certain…
We prove new slope inequalities for relatively minimal fibred surfaces, showing an influence of the relative irregularity, of the unitary rank and of the Clifford index on the slope. The argument uses Xiao's method and a new Clifford-type…
We study the analytic and topological invariants associated with complex normal surface singularities. Our goal is to provide topological formulae for several discrete analytic invariants whenever the analytic structure is generic (with…
In the work we discuss two invariants of conjugacy classes of braids. The first invariant is the conformal module which occurred in connection with the interest in the 13th Hilbert Problem. The second is a popular dynamical invariant, the…
Let $f:S \fr B$ be a surface fibration with fibres of genus 5. We find a linear relation between the fundamental invariants of the surface. Namely $K_f^2=\chi_f+N$ where $N$ is the number of trigonal fibres. Our proof is based on the…
Let $f:\,S \to B$ be a locally non-trivial relatively minimal fibration of genus $g\geq 2$ with relative irregularity $q_f$. It was conjectured by Barja and Stoppino that the slope $\lambda_f\geq \frac{4(g-1)}{g-q_f}$. We prove the…
We prove a semiample generalization of Poonen's Bertini Theorem over a finite field that implies the existence of smooth sections for wide new classes of divisors. The probability of smoothness is computed as a product of local…
The purpose of this paper is to study transport equations on the unit tangent bundle of closed oriented Riemannian surfaces and to connect these to the transport twistor space of the surface (a complex surface naturally tailored to the…
In this paper we mainly describe $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothings of projective surfaces with only Wahl singularities which have birational fibers. For instance, these degenerations appear in normal degenerations of the projective plane,…
