We give an almost complete classification of non-big Ulrich vector bundles on fourfolds. This allows to classify them in the case of Picard rank one fourfolds, of Mukai fourfolds and in the case of Del Pezzo $n$-folds for $n \le 4$. We also…

On any smooth $n$-dimensional variety we give a pretty precise picture of rank $r$ Ulrich vector bundles with numerical dimension at most $\frac{n}{2}+r-1$. Also, we classify non-big Ulrich vector bundles on quadrics and on the Del Pezzo…

A $n$-dimensional Gorenstein toric Fano variety $X$ is called Del Pezzo variety if the anticanonical class $-K_X$ is a $(n-1)$-multiple of a Cartier divisor. Our purpose is to give a complete biregular classfication of Gorenstein toric Del…

For every compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ of algebraic dimension $a(X) = \dim X - 1$, we prove that $X$ has arbitrarily small deformations to some projective manifolds.

We classify smooth del Pezzo surfaces whose alpha-invariant of Tian is bigger than one.

A non-trivial separable metric space $X$ is called an almost homology $n$-manifold if the homology groups $H_k(X,X\backslash\{x\},\mathbb Z)$ are trivial for all $x\in X$ and all $k=0,1,..,n-1$. We provide a necessary and sufficient…

Let E be an ample vector bundle of rank r on a complex projective manifold X such that there exists a section $s \in \Gamma(\cal E)$ whose zero locus Z = (s = 0) is a smooth submanifold of the expected dimension dim X - r: = n -r. Assume…

We characterize maps between $n$-dimensional N\"obeling manifolds that can be approximated by homeomorphisms.

Let $(X,L)$ be an $n$-dimensional polarized variety. Fujita's conjecture says that if $L^n>1$ then the adjoint bundle $K_X+nL$ is spanned and $K_X+(n+1)L$ is very ample. There are some examples such that $K_X+nL$ is not spanned or…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective rationally connected threefold with nef anticanonical divisor. We give a classification for the case when $-K_X$ is not semi-ample.

We classify smooth Fano manifolds X with the Picard number $\rho_X \geq 3$ such that there exists an extremal ray which has a birational contraction that maps a divisor to a point.

We study the algebraic dimension a(X) of a compact hyperkaehler manfold of dimension 2n. We show that a(X) is at most n unless X is projective. If a compact Kaehler manifold with algebraic dimension 0 and Kodaira dimension 0 has a minimal…

By Jahnke-Peternell-Radloff and Takeuchi, almost Fano threefolds with del Pezzo fibrations were classified. Among them, there exists 10 classes such that the existence of members of these was not proved. In this paper, we construct such…

We classify compact almost-K\"ahler four manifolds with nonnegative biorthogonal curvature.

We characterize the quasiprojective groups that appear as fundamental groups of compact $3$-manifolds (with or without boundary). We also characterize all closed $3$-manifolds that admit good complexifications. These answer questions of…

On del Pezzo surfaces, we study effective ample $\mathbb{R}$-divisors such that the complements of their supports are isomorphic to $\mathbb{A}^1$-bundles over smooth affine curves.

We classify rank two vector bundles on a given del Pezzo threefold of degree four whose projectivizations are weak Fano into seven cases. We also give an example for each of these seven cases.

In this paper eleven basic classes of almost paracontact manifolds are introduced and some examples are constructed.

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective rationally connected threefold with $-K_X$ nef and not semi-ample. In our previous work, we classified all such threefolds when $|{-}K_X|$ has no fixed divisor. In this paper, we continue our…

In this paper we study mildly singular del Pezzo foliations on complex projective manifolds with Picard number one
