We prove a conjecture of Boucksom-Demailly-P\u{a}un-Peternell, namely that on a projective manifold $X$ the cone of pseudoeffective classes in $H^{1,1}_{\mathbb{R}}(X)$ is dual to the cone of movable classes in $H^{n-1,n-1}_{\mathbb{R}}(X)$…

Generalising a classical theorem by Ueno, we prove structure results for manifolds with nef or semiample cotangent bundle.

Let (X,D) be a dlt pair, where X is a normal projective variety. Let S denote the support of the rounddown of D, and K the canonical divisor of X. We show that any smooth family of canonically polarized varieties over X\S is isotrivial if…

We introduce the notion of potentially klt pairs for normal projective varieties with pseudoeffective anticanonical divisor. The potentially non-klt locus is a subset of $X$ which is birationally transformed precisely into the non-klt locus…

In this paper we examine the cones of effective cycles on blow ups of projective spaces along smooth rational curves. We determine explicitly the cones of divisors and 1- and 2-dimensional cycles on blow ups of rational normal curves, and…

For a reductive group $G$, Harder-Narasimhan theory gives a structure theorem for principal $G$ bundles on a smooth projective curve $C$. A bundle is either semistable, or it admits a canonical parabolic reduction whose associated Levi…

We formulate an effective cone conjecture for klt Calabi--Yau pairs $(X,\Delta)$, pertaining to the structure of the cone of effective divisors $\mathrm{Eff}(X)$ modulo the action of the subgroup of pseudo-automorphisms…

We give a conjectural description for the cone of effective divisors of the Grothendieck-Knudsen moduli space of stable rational curves with n marked points. Namely, we introduce new combinatorial structures called hypertrees and show they…

We prove the following results for projective klt pairs of dimension $3$ over an algebraically closed field of char $p>5$: the cone theorem, the base point free theorem, the contraction theorem, finiteness of minimal models, termination…

In this article, we compute the pseudo-effective cones of various projective bundles $\mathbb{P}_X(E)$ over higher dimensional varieties $X$ under some assumptions on $X$ as well as on the vector bundle $E$. We also compute the volume…

We study contact structures on smooth complex projective varieties with a simple normal crossing divisor, generalizing some well-known results concerning the non-logarithmic case. In particular, we describe the structure of elementary log…

We describe a systematic way of constructing effective divisors on the moduli space of stable curves of genus g having exceptionally small slope. We prove that any divisor on \bar{M}_g consisting of curves failing a certain Green-Lazarsfeld…

For a smooth projective variety $X$, we consider when the diagonal $\Delta_X$ is nef as a cycle on $X\times X$. In particular, we give a classification of complete intersections and smooth del Pezzo varieties where the diagonal is nef. We…

We investigate nef and movable cones of hypersurfaces in Mori dream spaces. The first result is: Let $Z$ be a smooth Mori dream space of dimension at least four whose extremal contractions are of fiber type of relative dimension at least…

We use Totaro's examples of non-semiample nef line bundles on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields to construct nef line bundles for which the first cohomology group cannot be killed by any generically finite covers. This is used…

We classify minimal-degree curves in the Hilbert schemes of points on algebraic surfaces. When the algebraic surface is the projective plane, the nef cone and a flip structure of these Hilbert schemes are determined.

We show that the pseudo-effective cone of divisors of $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ is not polyhedral for $n\geq 8$ by constructing an extremal non-polyhedral ray of the dual cone of moving curves via maps on meromorphic strata of differentials…

Working over imperfect fields, we give a comprehensive classification of genus-one curves that are regular but not geometrically regular, extending the known case of geometrically reduced curves. The description is given intrinsically, in…

In this paper, we extend the structure theorem for smooth projective varieties with nef tangent bundle to projective klt varieties whose tangent sheaf is either positively curved or almost nef. Specifically, we show that such a variety $X$,…

On the projective plane there is a unique cubic root of the canonical bundle and this root is acyclic. On fake projective planes such root exists and is unique if there are no 3-torsion divisors (and usually exists, but not unique,…
