We study the bifurcation loci of quadratic (and unicritical) polynomials and exponential maps. We outline a proof that the exponential bifurcation locus is connected; this is an analog to Douady and Hubbard's celebrated theorem that (the…

This article investigates the monodromy conjecture for a space monomial curve that appears as the special fiber of an equisingular family of curves with a plane branch as generic fiber. Roughly speaking, the monodromy conjecture states that…

We give a new proof of Koll\'ar's conjecture on the pushforward of the dualizing sheaf twisted by a variation of Hodge structure. This conjecture was settled by M. Saito via mixed Hodge modules and has applications in the investigation of…

Let M be a Q-divisor on a smooth surface over C. In this paper we give criteria for very ampleness of the adjoint of the round-up of M. (Similar results for global generation were given by Ein and Lazarsfeld and used in their proof of…

We formulate a generalization of Vojta's conjecture in terms of log pairs and variants of multiplier ideals. In this generalization, a variety is allowed to have singularities. It turns out that the generalized conjecture for a log pair is…

We prove a conjecture of Michel--Venkatesh on joinings of distinct Linnik problems, in the setting of simultaneous quaternionic embeddings of imaginary quadratic fields having sufficiently many small split primes. This splitting condition…

It is shown that every two-variable adjunction in categories enriched in a commutative quantale serves as a base for constructing Isbell adjunctions between functor categories, and Kan adjunctions are precisely Isbell adjunctions…

We first give a new proof and also a new formulation for the Abhyankar-Gurjar inversion formula for formal maps of affine spaces. We then use the reformulated Abhyankar-Gurjar formula to give a more straightforward proof for the equivalence…

We prove a subadjunction theorem which relates the multi-adjoint linear system of the ambient space and the linear system of the restricted bundle on a subvariety.

We prove the Strengthened Hanna Neumann Conjecture, in its common graph theoretic formulation. Our original approach to this conjecture used cohomology of sheaves on graphs, although here we give a short combinatorial proof that we found in…

We investigate certain adjunctions in derived categories of equivariant spectra, including a right adjoint to fixed points, a right adjoint to pullback by an isometry of universes, and a chain of two right adjoints to geometric fixed…

A paper of the first author and Zilke proposed seven combinatorial problems around formulas for the characteristic polynomial and the exponents of an isolated quasihomogeneous singularity. The most important of them was a conjecture on the…

Given a Fourier-Mukai functor $\Phi$ in the general setting of singular schemes, under various hypotheses we provide both left and a right adjoints to $\Phi$, and also give explicit formulas for them. These formulas are simple and natural,…

We present a simplified proof for a recent theorem by Junyan Cao and Mihai Paun, confirming a special case of Iitaka's conjecture: if $f \colon X\to Y$ is an algebraic fiber space, and if the Albanese mapping of $Y$ is generically finite…

I give a simplified proof of one of the main results in the recent preprint arXiv:1311.5858 by X. Luo and K. Zuo. Furthermore, I discuss the relation with the Coleman-Oort conjecture on special curves in the Torelli locus.

We prove a version of Fujita's Conjecture in arbitrary characteristic, generalizing results of K.E. Smith. Our methods use the Frobenius morphism, but avoid tight closure theory. We also obtain versions of Fujita's Conjecture for coherent…

We prove inversion of adjunction on log canonicity.

We point out that the recursive formula that appears in Erickson's presentation "Fusible Numbers" is incorrect, and pose an alternate conjecture about the structure of fusible numbers. Although we are unable to solve the conjecture, we…

The Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture is one of the central open problems in additive combinatorics. If true, it would give tight quantitative bounds relating combinatorial and algebraic notions of approximate subgroups. In this note, we…

In the first part of the paper, we study a Fujita-type conjecture by Popa and Schnell, and give an effective bound on the generic global generation of the direct image of the twisted pluricanonical bundle. We also point out the relation…
