We prove that any compact surface with constant positive curvature and conical singularities can be decomposed into irreducible components of standard shape, glued along geodesic arcs connecting conical singularities. This is a spherical…

Let X be a compact complex surface with a real foliation. If all leaves are compact complex curves, the foliation must be holomorphic.

We consider log deformations of affine surfaces with fibrations by the affine lines. Such a fibration is of affine type (resp. of complete type) if the base curve of the fibration is an affine curve (resp. a complete curve). The case of…

Let $M$ be a compact manifold equipped with a pair of complementary foliations, say horizontal and vertical. In Catuogno, Silva and Ruffino ($Stoch$. $Dyn$., 2013) it is shown that, up to a stopping time $\tau$, a stochastic flow of local…

For all orientable closed surfaces, we determine the minimal dilatation among mapping classes arising from Penner's construction. We also discuss generalisations to surfaces with punctures.

We construct a sequence of explicit blow-ups and blow-downs on irreducible compact Hermitian symmetric spaces $X$ which transforms it into a projective space of the same dimension. Moreover this resolves a birational map given by Landsberg…

We study the Donaldson-Thomas type invariants for the Calabi-Yau threefold Deligne-Mumford stacks under flops. A crepant birational morphism between two smooth Calabi-Yau threefold Deligne-Mumford stacks is called an orbifold flop if the…

We prove the existence of pl-flips.

We prove the existence of a minimal diffeomorphism isotopic to the identity between two hyperbolic cone surfaces $(\Sigma,g_1)$ and $(\Sigma,g_2)$ when the cone angles of $g_1$ and $g_2$ are different and smaller than $\pi$. When the cone…

We show the semi-continuity property of minimal log discrepancies for varieties which have a crepant resolution in the category of Deligne-Mumford stacks. Using this property, we also prove the ideal-adic semi-continuity problem for toric…

This is a continuation of part I in the series of the papers on Lagrangian Floer theory on toric manifolds. Using the deformations of Floer cohomology by the ambient cycles, which we call bulk deformations, we find a continuum of…

We prove that a log surface has only finitely many weakly log canonical projective models with klt singularities up to log isomorphism, by reducing the problem to the boundedness of their polarization.

In this paper, we investigate the boundedness of log pairs with log Calabi--Yau fibration structures. We prove that total spaces of log Calabi--Yau fibrations are bounded modulo crepant birational equivalence when the Iitaka volumes of log…

The purely log terminal blow-ups of three-dimensional terminal toric singularities are described. The three-dimensional divisorial contractions $f\colon (Y,E)\to (X\ni P)$ are described provided that $\Exc f=E$ is an irreducible divisor,…

The present article highlights an approach to generate contrasting patterns from drying droplets in a liquid bridge configuration, different from well-known coffee rings. Reduction of the confinement distance (the gap between the solid…

For gravitational collapse, we observe a correspondence between region close to past null infinity and region close to central singularity. In line with this philosophy, we construct a new ansatz, with which we first present a 40-page…

We classify elliptic fibrations birational to a nonsingular, minimal cubic surface over a field of characteristic zero. Our proof is adapted to provide computational techniques for the analysis of such fibrations, and we describe an…

We continue our previous work to prove that for any non-minimal ruled surface $(M,\omega)$, the stability under symplectic deformations of $\pi_0, \pi_1$ of $Symp(M,\omega)$ is guided by embedded $J$-holomorphic curves. Further, we prove…

We give a simpler and more conceptual proof that a morphism from a 3-fold to a surface, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, can be made into a toroidal morphism by sequences of blow ups of nonsingular subvarieties above…

Recent work ([18], [1]) has produced a complete list of weighted homogeneous surface singularities admitting smoothings whose Milnor fibre has only trivial rational homology (a "rational homology disk"). Though these special singularities…
