Given a brane tiling, that is, a bipartite graph on a torus, we can associate with it a singular 3-Calabi-Yau variety. In this paper we study its commutative and non-commutative crepant resolutions. We give an explicit toric description of…
We prove the existence and give a classification of toric non-commutative crepant resolutions (NCCRs) of Gorenstein toric singularities with divisor class group of rank one. We prove that they correspond bijectively to non-trivial upper…
We demonstrate that the linear quotient singularity for the exceptional subgroup G in Sp(4,C) of order 32 is isomorphic to an affine quiver variety for a 5-pointed star-shaped quiver. This allows us to construct uniformly all 81 projective…
We prove existence of non-commutative crepant resolutions (in the sense of van den Bergh) of quotient singularities by finite and linearly reductive group schemes in positive characteristic. In dimension two, we relate these to resolutions…
We show that all toric noncommutative crepant resolutions (NCCRs) of affine GIT quotients of "weakly symmetric" unimodular torus representations are derived equivalent. This yields evidence for a non-commutative extension of a well known…
We study deformations of affine toric varieties. The entire deformation theory of these singularities is encoded by the so-called versal deformation. The main goal of our paper is to construct the homogeneous part of some degree -R of this,…
Toric orbifolds are a generalization of simplicial projective toric varieties. In this paper, we show that there is a resolution of singularities of a toric orbifold. In a different category, the class of quasi-contact toric manifolds…
We prove that a complete intersection of $c$ very general hypersurfaces of degree at least two in $N$-dimensional complex projective space is not ruled (and therefore not rational) provided that the sum of the degrees of the hypersurfaces…
It has long been known that every quasi-homogeneous normal complex surface singularity with Q-homology sphere link has universal abelian cover a Brieskorn complete intersection singularity. We describe a broad generalization: First, one has…
We consider the classification of supersymmetric black hole solutions to five-dimensional STU gauged supergravity that admit torus symmetry. This reduces to a problem in toric K\"ahler geometry on the base space. We introduce the class of…
Given a rational convex polyhedral Gorenstein cone constructed as cone over a lattice polytope P, we establish that toric non-commutative crepant resolutions (NCCRs) of its associated toric algebra descend to toric NCCRs of the algebras…
We prove that on separated algebraic surfaces every coherent sheaf is a quotient of a locally free sheaf. This class contains many schemes that are neither normal, reduced, quasiprojective or embeddable into toric varieties. Our methods…
In this paper, we study tropicalisations of singular surfaces in toric threefolds. We completely classify singular tropical surfaces of maximal-dimensional type, show that they can generically have only finitely many singular points, and…
We construct a class of noncommutative crepant resolutions of any Kleinian singularity in the form of noncommutative algebras over its crepant partial resolutions. We argue that such resolutions are Morita equivalent to the canonical…
We study tt*-geometry on the classifying space for regular singular TERP-structures, e.g., Fourier-Laplace transformations of Brieskorn lattices of isolated hypersurface singularities. We show that (a part of) this classifying space can be…
Let X be an orbifold with crepant resolution Y. The Crepant Resolution Conjectures of Ruan and Bryan-Graber assert, roughly speaking, that the quantum cohomology of X becomes isomorphic to the quantum cohomology of Y after analytic…
We classify up to conjugacy the subgroups of certain types in the full, in the affine, and in the special affine Cremona groups. We prove that the normalizers of these subgroups are algebraic. As an application, we obtain new results in the…
We give a criterion for the existence of non-commutative crepant resolutions (NCCR's) for certain toric singularities. In particular we recover Broomhead's result that a 3-dimensional toric Gorenstein singularity has a NCCR. Our result also…
We study the arithmetic of complete intersections in projective space over number fields. Our main results include arithmetic Torelli theorems and versions of the Shafarevich conjecture, as proved for curves and abelian varieties by…
Let $X_0$ be an affine variety with only normal isolated singularity $p$ and $\pi: X\to X_0$ a smooth resolution of the singularity with trivial canonical line bundle $K_X$. If the complement of the affine variety $X_0\backslash\{p\}$ is…
