Let X be a projective complex K3 surface. Beauville and Voisin singled out a 0-cycle c_X on X of degree 1: it is represented by any point lying on a rational curve in X. Huybrechts proved that the second Chern class of a rigid simple…

We study resolutions of singularities of orbit closures in quiver representations. We consider certain resolutions of singularities which have already been constructed by Reineke, and we determine under which conditions they are crepant.…

We consider, under suitable assumptions, the following situation: $\mathcal B$ is a component of the moduli space of polarized surfaces and $\mathcal V_{m,\delta}$ is the universal Severi variety over $\mathcal B$ parametrizing pairs…

In this paper we shall prove that the singular locus of a symplectic singularity has no codimension 3 irreducible components. As a corollary, a symplectic singularity is terminal if and only if its singular locus has codimension $\geq 4$.…

Heterotic orbifold models are promising candidates for models with MSSM like spectra. But orbifolds only correspond to a special place in moduli space, the bigger picture is described by the moduli space of Calabi-Yau spaces. In this talk…

Let $M$ be a complex- or real-analytic manifold, $\theta$ be a singular distribution and $\mathcal{I}$ a coherent ideal sheaf defined on $M$. We prove the existence of a local resolution of singularities of $\mathcal{I}$ that preserves the…

We study some properties of positive solutions to the higher order conformally invariant equation with a singular set $$ (-\Delta)^m u = u^{\frac{n+2m}{n-2m}} ~~~~~~ \textmd{in} ~ \Omega \backslash \Lambda, $$ where $\Omega \subset…

Moduli spaces of stable objects in the derived category of a $K3$ surface provide a large class of holomorphic symplectic varieties. In this paper, we study the interplay between Chern classes of stable objects and zero-cycles on…

Crepant resolutions of three-dimensional toric Gorenstein singularities are derived equivalent to noncommutative algebras arising from consistent dimer models. By choosing a special stability parameter and hence a distinguished crepant…

We describe a numerical approach to address the BKL conjecture that the generic cosmological singularity is locally Mixmaster-like. We consider application of a symplectic PDE solver to three models of increasing complexity--spatially…

We study the symplectic action of the group (Z/2Z)^2 on a K3 surface X: we describe its action on H^2(X,Z) and the maps induced in cohomology by the rational quotient maps; we give a lattice-theoretic characterization of the resolution of…

We give an existence result on (H,A)-stable sheaves on a K3 or abelian surface X with primitive triple of invariants (rank,first Chern class,Euler characteristics) in the integral cohomology lattice. Such a result yields the existence of…

This paper characterizes the possible blow-up of solutions for the 3D magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD for short) equations. We first establish some $\epsilon$-regularity criteria in $L^{q,\infty}$ spaces for suitable weak solutions, and then…

We prove that every minimal symplectic filling of the link of a quotient surface singularity can be obtained from its minimal resolution by applying a sequence of rational blow-downs and symplectic antiflips. We present an explicit…

This is the final draft, containing very minor proof-reading corrections. Let G in SL(n,\C) be a finite subgroup and \fie: Y -> X = \C^n/G any resolution of singularities of the quotient space. We prove that crepant exceptional prime…

We study the singularities of the moduli space of degree $e$ maps from smooth genus $g$ curves to an arbitrary smooth hypersurface of low degree. For $e$ large compared to $g$, we show that these moduli spaces have at worst terminal…

In this article, we give a survey of our construction of a local moduli space of scalar-flat K\"ahler ALE metrics in complex dimension $2$. We also prove an explicit formula for the dimension of this moduli space on a scalar-flat K\"ahler…

Given a finite unbranched covering of a nonsingular projective scheme we analyse the morphism between moduli spaces of sheaves induced by pullback. We have a closer look at cyclic coverings and, in particular, at canonical coverings of…

In this paper we give a necessary combinatorial condition for a negative--definite plumbing tree to be suitable for rational blow--down, or to be the graph of a complex surface singularity which admits a rational homology disk smoothing.…

In this paper we propose a unified approach to (topological) string theory on certain singular spaces in their large volume limit. The approach exploits the non-commutative structure of D-branes, so the space is described by an algebraic…
