An invariant kernel for the pluricanonical system of a projective manifold of general type is introduced. Using this kernel we prove that the Yau volume form on a smooth projective variety has seminegative Ricci curvature. As a biproduct we…

This is a revised version of the second half of my paper math.AG/9909021. We prove that there exists a positive integer $\nu_{n}$ depending only on $n$ such that for every smooth projective $n$-fold of general type $X$ defined over complex…

In this article we present a formula for the plurigenera of minimal models of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces, which is valid in arbitrary dimension and which expresses these invariants through lattice points on the Fine interior. From…

Let X be a complex projective n-dimensional manifold of general type, whose canonical system is composite with a pencil. If the Albanese map is generically finite, but not surjective, or if the irregularity is strictly larger than n and the…

We answer an open problem of the first author and Zhang (see Open Problem 6.4 (3) in Math. Z. 258 (2008), 565-585) and prove that, for any nonsingular projective $3$-fold of general type with the geometric genus greater than 201, the…

In this paper we construct, for every n, smooth varieties of general type of dimension n with the first $\lfloor \frac{n-2}{3} \rfloor$ plurigenera equal to zero. Hacon-McKernan, Takayama and Tsuji have recently shown that there are numbers…

A classical set of birational invariants of a variety are its spaces of pluricanonical forms and some of their canonically defined subspaces. Each of these vector spaces admits a typical metric structure which is also birationally…

Nonsingular projective 3-folds $V$ of general type can be naturally classified into 18 families according to the {\it pluricanonical section index} $\delta(V):=\text{min}\{m|P_m\geq 2\}$ since $1\leq \delta(V)\leq 18$ due to our previous…

We prove that there is a fixed constant r=r_n, such that if X is a variety of general type, then the rth pluricanonical map is birational.

Tridiagonal canonical forms of square matrices under congruence or *congruence, pairs of symmetric or skew-symmetric matrices under congruence, and pairs of Hermitian matrices under *congruence are given over an algebraically closed field…

We prove that two general ternary forms are simultaneously identifiable only in the classical cases of two quadratic and a cubic and a quadratic form. We translate the problem into the study of a certain linear system on a projective bundle…

In continuation of our paper in Math. Ann. 333 we classify smooth complex projective threefolds X with -K_X big and nef but not ample and Picard number 2, whose anticanonical map is small. We assume also that the Mori contraction of X and…

We classify completely the surfaces of general type whose canonical map is 3-to-1 onto a surface of minimal degree in projective space. These surfaces fall into 5 distinct classes and we give explicit examples belonging to each of these…

We discuss here a generalization of a theorem by Dunfield stating that the peripheral holonomy map, from the character variety of a 3-manifold to the A-polynomial is birational. Dunfield's proof involves the rigidity of maximal volume. The…

We show the invariance of plurigenera for generalized polarized pairs with abundant nef parts and generalized canonical singularities. This is obtained by investigating a type of newly introduced multiplier ideal sheaf which is of…

First we find effective bounds for the number of dominant rational maps $f:X \rightarrow Y$ between two fixed smooth projective varieties with ample canonical bundles. The bounds are of the type $\{A \cdot K_X^n\}^{\{B \cdot K_X^n\}^2}$,…

We prove the birationality of the 4-canonical map of varieties of general type and maximal Albanese dimension

In this article, we first describe codimension two regular foliations with numerically trivial canonical class on complex projective manifolds whose canonical class is not numerically effective. Building on a recent algebraicity criterion…

Let f be a generic polynomial mapping mapping from the plane to the plane. There are constructed quadratic forms whose signatures determine the number of positive and negative cusps of f.

Let $X$ be a minimal projective 3-fold of general type. The pluricanonical section index $\delta(X)$ is defined to be the minimal integer $m$ so that $P_{m}(X)\geq 2$. According to Chen-Chen, one has either $1\leq \delta(X)\leq 15$ or…
