In this paper, we investigate the rigidity problems of complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and constant scalar curvature in Euclidean spaces. Firstly, under some conditions of Gaussian-Kronecker curvature, we provide…
We prove that every smooth Fano complete intersection of index $1$ and codimension $r$ in $\mathbb{P}^{n+r}$ is birationally superrigid and K-stable if $n\ge 10r$. We also propose a generalization of Tian's criterion of K-stability and, as…
We show that all hyperbolic surfaces admit an ideal triangulation with bounded shear parameters. This upper bound depends logarithmically on the topology of the surface.
In 1973, Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os proved that if $\mathcal{H}$ is a 3-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices which contains no triangulation of the sphere, then $\mathcal{H}$ has at most $O(n^{5/2})$ edges, and this bound is the best possible…
We continue to study birational geometry of Fano fibrations $\pi\colon V\to {\mathbb P}^1$ the fibers of which are Fano double hypersurfaces of index 1. For a majority of families of this type, which do not satisfy the condition of…
We determine birational superrigidity for a quasi-smooth prime Fano 3-fold of codimension 4 with no projection centers. In particular we prove birational superrigidity for Fano 3-folds of codimension 4 with no projection centers which are…
Segre proved that a smooth cubic surface over Q is unirational iff it has a rational point. We prove that the result also holds for cubic hypersurfaces over any field, including finite fields.
We apply the specialization technique based on the decomposition of the diagonal to find an explicit example over $\mathbb{Q}$ of a quadric and cubic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^6$ such that their intersection is a smooth stably irrational…
A Fano variety of Picard number $1$ is said to be \textit{birationally solid} if it is not birational to a Mori fiber space over a positive dimensional base. In this paper we complete the classification of quasi-smooth birationally solid…
We continue the work of Braun and Floystad, and Cook bounding the degree of smooth surfaces in P4 not of general type using generic initial ideal theory.
It is proved that the degree of a morphism from a smooth projective n-fold with Picard number one to a smooth n-quadric is bounded (provided, of course, that n is at least three). Actually it has been proved some years ago, but I have never…
We consider smooth surfaces $S \subset \Pq$ containing a plane curve $P$ and prove some general result concerning the linear system $|H-P|$. We then look at regular surfaces lying on hypersurfaces of degree $s$ having a plane of…
We prove that every non-trivial structure of a rationally connected fibre space (and so every structure of a Mori-Fano fibre space) on a general (in the sense of Zariski topology) hypersurface of degree $M$ in the $(M+1)$-dimensional…
It is proved that a smooth rational surface in projective four-space, which is ruled by cubics or quartics has degree at most 12. It is also proved that a smooth rational surface in projective four-space which is the image of Fn by a linear…
We prove that a quasi-smooth Fano threefold hypersurface is birationally rigid if and only if it has Fano index one.
We study the algebraic hyperbolicity of very general hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^m \times \mathbb{P}^n$ by using three techniques that build on past work by Ein, Voisin, Pacienza, Coskun and Riedl, and others. As a result, we completely…
We study the variation of linear sections of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$. We completely classify all plane curves, necessarily singular, whose line sections do not vary maximally in moduli. In higher dimensions, we prove that the family…
In 1970, Kobayashi conjectured that general hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree in $P^n$ are hyperbolic. In this paper we prove that a general sufficiently ample hypersurface in a smooth projective variety is hyperbolic. To prove…
Nontrivial infinitesimal bendings for a class of two-dimensional surfaces are constructed. The surfaces considered here are orientable; compact; with boundary; have positive curvature everywhere except at finitely many planar points; and…
Let X be a non-singular projective hypersurface of degree 4, which is defined over the rational numbers. Assume that X has dimension 39 or more, and that X contains a real point and p-adic points for every prime p. Then X is shown to…
