The purpose of the paper is to initiate the development of the theory of Newton Okounkov bodies of curve classes. Our denition is based on making a fundamental property of NewtonOkounkov bodies hold also in the curve case: the volume of the…

En effective chiral theory of large N_C QCD of pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons is reviewed.

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…

We study the positivity properties of the projectivization of a parabolic bundle over a smooth complex projective curve. The generators of its N\'eron--Severi group are computed, and the positive cone is determined. In particular, we…

We study the Picard rank of smooth toric Fano varieties possessing families of minimal rational curves of given degree. We discuss variants of a conjecture of Chen-Fu-Hwang and prove a version of their statement that recovers the original…

A Fourier restriction estimate is obtained for a broad class of conic surfaces by adding a weight to the usual underlying measure. The new restriction estimate exhibits a certain affine-invariance and implies the sharp $L^p-L^q$ restriction…

In this paper, we investigate higher order minimal families $H_i$ of rational curves associated to Fano manifolds $X$. We prove that $H_i$ is also a Fano manifold if the Chern characters of $X$ satisfy some positivity conditions. We also…

These lectures provide an introduction to Soft-Collinear Effective Theory. As applications we discuss resummation for (i) soft-photon effects in QED, (ii) event-shape variables and (iii) jet cross sections.

We argue that N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theories exhibit a strong-weak coupling Seiberg-type duality. We also discuss supersymmetry breaking in these theories.

We give the first examples of nef line bundles on smooth projective varieties over finite fields which are not semi-ample. More concretely, we find smooth curves on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields such that the normal bundle…

The Morrison--Kawamata Cone Conjecture predicts that the action of the automorphism group on the effective nef cone and the action of the pseudo-automorphism group on the effective movable cone of a klt Calabi-Yau pair have rational,…

In this paper, for compact K\"ahler manifolds with nef cotangent bundle, we study the abundance conjecture and the associated Iitaka fibrations. We show that, for a minimal compact K\"ahler manifold, the second Chern class vanishes if and…

In this manuscript we review the construction of the Teichm\"{u}ller TQFT in [AK1], upgrading it to a theory dependent on an extra odd integer $N$ using results developed in [AK3]. We also describe how this theory is related with quantum…

Using the Racah coefficients in our earlier paper arXiv:1107.3918, we explicitly write the Chern-Simons field theory invariants for many non-torus knot and links. Further, we have tabulated the reformulated invariants which agrees with the…

We provide a counter-example to Hutchinson's original proof of $C^{1,\alpha}$ representation of curvature $m$-varifolds with $L^q$-integrable second fundamental form and $q>m$ in [6]. We also provide an alternative proof of the same result…

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.

We establish second main theorems for holomorphic curves into a projective subvary $V \subset \mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$ of dimension $k$, intersecting hypersurfaces in $N$-subgeneral position with respect to $V$ $(N > k)$. Our results…

In the previous work, we introduced a method for constructing invariant probability measures of a large class of non-singular volume-preserving flows on closed, oriented odd-dimensional smooth manifolds with pseudoholomorphic curve…

The goal of this paper is to study the Chern classes of coherent sheaves (and more generally perfect complexes) that admit crystal structures in the setting of crystalline cohomology and more generally relative prismatic cohomology. In the…

We prove that if $X---> X^+$ is a threefold terminal flip, then $c_1(X).c_2(X)\leq c_1(X^+).c_2(X^+)$ where $c_1(X)$ and $c_2(X)$ denote the Chern classes. This gives the affirmative answer to a Question by Xie \cite{Xie2}. We obtain the…
