The quotient singularities of dimensions two and three obtained from polyhedral groups and the corresponding binary polyhedral groups admit natural resolutions of singularities as Hilbert schemes of regular orbits whose exceptional fibres…

A notion of dual curve for pseudoholomorphic curves in 4--manifolds turns out to be possible only if the notion of almost complex structure structure is slightly generalized. The resulting structure is as easy (perhaps easier) to work with,…

Polyhedral K\"ahler surfaces are a class of complex surfaces, which are flat everywhere except on a two-dimensional skeleton. They are defined as a generalisation of the "gluing a polygon side by side" construction of flat Riemann surfaces.…

A new class of compact K\"ahler manifolds, called special, is defined, which are the ones having no surjective meromorphic map to an orbifold of general type. The special manifolds are in many respect higher-dimensional generalisations of…

Given a Q-Cartier divisor $S \subset X$ admitting a fibration $S \rightarrow B$ onto a curve we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a bimeromorphic contraction contracting S onto B. As a corollary we recover a contraction result…

Given a (meromorphic) fibration $f:X\to Y$ where $X$ and $Y$ are compact complex manifolds of dimensions $n$ and $m$, we define $L_f$ to be the invertible subsheaf of the sheaf of holomorphic $m$-forms of $X$ given by the saturation of…

The moduli space of (1,p)-polarized abelian surfaces is a quasi-projective variety. In the case when p is a prime, we study its Kodaira dimension. We show that it is of general type for p > 71 and some smaller values of p. This improves an…

This review presents recent progress in understanding constraints and consequences of close-packing geometry of filamentous or columnar materials possessing non-trivial textures, focusing in particular on the common motifs of twisted and…

We show boundedness of polarized Calabi--Yau fibrations over curves only with fixed volumes of general fibers and Iitaka volumes. As its application, we construct a separated coarse moduli space of K-stable Calabi-Yau fibrations over curves…

Motivated by mirror symmetry, we consider a Lagrangian fibration $X\to B$ and Lagrangian maps $f:L\hookrightarrow X\to B$, when $L$ has dimension 2, exhibiting an unstable singularity, and study how their caustic changes, in a neighbourhood…

K. Konno proved a slope equality for fibred surfaces with fibres of odd genus and general fibre of maximal gonality. More precisely he found a relation between the invariants of the fibration and certain weights of special fibres (called…

We advocate a framework for constructing perturbative closed string compactifications which do not have large-radius limits. The idea is to augment the class of vacua which can be described as fibrations by enlarging the monodromy group…

The even spin components of the strata of Abelian differentials are difficult to handle from a birational geometry perspective due to the fact that their spin line bundles have more sections than expected. Nevertheless, in this paper, we…

We first want to consider the formal deformation of a fibered manifold $P \rightarrow M$ as a (bi-)module or subalgebra, where $M$ has a given differential star product. Consequently we want to find obstructions for the existence of a…

Atiyah classifies vector bundles on elliptic curves $E$ over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic. On the other hand, a rank $2$ vector bundle on $E$ defines a surface $S$ with a $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundle structure on $E$. We…

For a closed manifold $M$, let Fib$(M)$ be the number of distinct fiberings of $M$ as a fiber bundle with fiber a closed surface. In this paper we give the first computation of Fib$(M)$ where $1<\text{Fib}(M)<\infty$ but $M$ is not a…

We study fibrations by elliptic curves and K3 surfaces of double octic Calabi-Yau threefolds determined by singular lines and points of multiplicity at least 4 of the defining octic arrangement. As a consequence we conclude that every…

A global twistor correspondence is established for neutral self-dual conformal structures with alpha-surface foliation when the structure is close to the standard structure on S^2 times S^2. We need to introduce some singularity for the…

This thesis is split up into two parts: The first one concerns (pseudo)-holomorphic Hamiltonian systems, while the second part is about K\"ahler structures of complex coadjoint orbits. We begin the first part by investigating basic…

Let $f\colon S\to B$ a complex fibred surface with fibres of genus $g\geq 2$. Let $u_f$ be its unitary rank, i.e., the rank of the maximal unitary summand of the Hodge bundle $f_*\omega_f$. We prove many new slope inequalities involving…
