We verify part of a conjecture of Campana predicting that rational points on the weakly-special non-special simply-connected smooth projective threefolds constructed by Bogomolov-Tschinkel are not dense. To prove our result, we establish…

We introduce two notions of hyperbolicity for not necessarily K\"ahler $n$-dimensional compact complex manifolds $X$. The first, called {\it balanced hyperbolicity}, generalises Gromov's K\"ahler hyperbolicity by means of Gauduchon's…

Starting from an Enriques surface over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$ considered by Lafon, we give the first examples of smooth projective weakly special threefolds which fibre over the projective line in Enriques surfaces (resp. K3 surfaces) with nowhere…

We construct a family of fibered threefolds $X_m \to (S , \Delta)$ such that $X_m$ has no \'etale cover that dominates a variety of general type but it dominates the orbifold $(S,\Delta)$ of general type. Following Campana, the threefolds…

Assuming the abundance conjecture and the existence of a Zariski dense set of rational curves on terminal Calabi--Yau varieties, we show that a complex projective weakly special manifold $X$ with no rational curves is an \'etale quotient of…

Motivated by the finiteness of the set of automorphisms Aut(X) of a projective manifold X, and by Kobayashi-Ochiai's conjecture that a projective manifold dim(X)-analytically hyperbolic (also known as strongly measure hyperbolic) should be…

We construct examples of threefolds with terminal singularities (resp. surfaces with canonical singularities) which are special in the sense of Campana, have a potentially dense set of integral points, admit a dense entire curve, have…

In this survey paper we give a proof of hyperbolicity of the complex of curves for a non-exceptional surface S of finite type combining ideas of Masur/Minsky and Bowditch. We also shortly discuss the relation between the geometry of the…

We prove hyperbolic 3-manifolds are geometrically inflexible: a unit quasiconformal deformation of a Kleinian group extends to an equivariant bi-Lipschitz diffeomorphism between quotients whose pointwise bi-Lipschitz constant decays…

We strengthen a conjecture by the author. This conjecture is a Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality involving the third Chern character of mixed tilt-stable complexes on fibred threefolds. We extend it from complexes of mixed tilt-slope zero…

A special spine of a three-manifold is said to be poor if it does not contain proper simple subpolyhedra. Using the Turaev-Viro invariants, we establish that every compact three-dimensional manifold M with connected nonempty boundary has a…

We show that a complex projective manifold X which satisfies the Gromov's h-principle is `special', and raise some questions about the reverse implication, the extension to the quasi-K\" ahler case, and the relationships of these properties…

In this article we prove that every entire curve in the complement of a generic hypersurface of degree $d\geq 586$ in $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^{3}$ is algebraically degenerate i.e there exists a proper subvariety which contains the entire…

We give the first examples of closed fibered hyperbolic 3-manifolds whose fundamental groups are distinguished from every other finitely generated, residually finite group by their finite quotients. One of the examples is also the first…

We give a conjectural construction of Bridgeland stability conditions on the derived category of fibred threefolds. The construction depends on a conjectural Bogomolov-Gieseker type inequality for certain stable complexes. It can be…

Let $f: X \to S$ be a unipotent degeneration of projective complex manifolds over a disc such that the reduction of the central fibre $Y=f^{-1}(0)$ is simple normal crossings, and let $X_\infty$ be the canonical nearby fibre. Building on…

We investigate the maximal solid tubes around short simple geodesics in hyperbolic three-manifolds and how complex length of curves relate to closed, incompressible, least area minimal surfaces. As applications, we prove, there are some…

The defect of a cubic threefold $X$ with isolated singularities is a global invariant that measures the failure of $\mathbb{Q}$-factoriality. We compute the defect for such cubics in terms of topological data about the curve of lines…

We prove a variant of the Beauville--Bogomolov decomposition for weakly ordinary, or generally globally $F$-split, varieties $X$ with $K_X \sim 0$, in characteristic $p>0$. We also show that the weakly ordinary assumption in our statement…

Normally one assumes isolated surface singularities to be normal. The purpose of this paper is to show that it can be useful to look at nonnormal singularities. By deforming them interesting normal singularities can be constructed, such as…
