Let $R = W(k)$ be the ring of Witt vectors over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p > 2$. Let $M$ be a three-dimensional regular integral flat projective $R$-scheme such that $H^0(M,\mathcal{O}_M) = R$ and the…

This paper investigates the derived and spectral analogs of logarithmic geometry. We develop the deformation theory for animated log rings and $\mathbb{E}_\infty$-log rings and examine the corresponding theories of derived and spectral log…

In this paper we study the Wahl map for the normalization of a $\delta$-nodal curve $C$ on a Hirzebruch surface $\mathbb{F}_{n}$ for $n\geq 0$. Let $\sigma:X\rightarrow \mathbb{F}_{n}$ be the blow up of $\mathbb{F}_{n}$ along the $\delta$…

Lazarsfeld proved Brill--Noether generality of any smooth curve in the linear system $|H|$ where $(X,H)$ is a polarized K3 surface with $\mathrm{Pic}(X) = \mathbb{Z}\cdot H$. Mukai introduced the notion of Brill--Noether generality for…

We introduce analogues of algebraic groups called algebraic racks, which are pointed rack objects in the category of schemes over a ground field. Addressing a problem of Loday, we construct functors assigning left and right Leibniz algebras…

This paper is a sequel to [arXiv:2403.18389]. We investigate the rationality problem for $\mathbf{Q}$-Fano threefolds of Fano index $\ge 3$.

We investigate birational properties of hypersurfaces of degree $6$ in the weighted projective space $\mathbf{P}(1,1,2,2,3)$. In particular, we prove that any such quasi-smooth hypersurface is not rational.

We study quotients of projective and affine spaces by various actions of the icosahedral group. Basically we concentrate on the rationality questions.

This paper has been written to illustrate the power of techniques from tropical geometry and mirror symmetry for studying the KSBA moduli space of surfaces on or near the Noether line. We focus on the moduli space of octic double planes…

We investigate the rationality problem for $\mathbf{Q}$-Fano threefolds of Fano index $\ge 2$.

We study the algebraic complexity of Euclidean distance minimization from a generic tensor to a variety of rank-one tensors. The Euclidean Distance (ED) degree of the Segre-Veronese variety counts the number of complex critical points of…

We show that a non-toric $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminal Fano threefold of Picard rank $1$ and Fano index $13$ is a weighted hypersurface of degree $12$ in $\mathbb{P}(3,4,5,6,7)$.

To any compact K\"ahler manifold $(X, \omega)$ one may associate a bundle of affine spaces $Z_X\rightarrow X$ called a \emph{canonical extension} of $X$. In this paper we prove that if the tangent bundle of $X$ is nef, then the total space…

Let $K$ and $L$ be algebraic extensions of the rational numbers inside the field of complex numbers. An $L$-de Rham-Betti class on a smooth projective variety $X$ over $K$ is a class in the Betti cohomology with $L$-coefficients of the…

In this paper, we give $\mathbb{Z}\left[1/2\right]$-forms of $\mathrm{SO}(3,\mathbb{C})$-orbits in the flag variety of $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{C})$. We also prove that they give a $\mathbb{Z}\left[1/2\right]$-form of the…

We study braid varieties and their relation to open positroid varieties. We discuss four different types of braids associated to open positroid strata and show that their associated Legendrian links are all Legendrian isotopic. In…

Since the first famous correspondence theorem by Mikhalkin appeared in 2005, tropical geometry has allowed a parallel treatment of real and complex counting problems. A prime example are the genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants of the plane…

We show that the (toric) local height of a toric variety with respect to a semipositive torus-invariant singular metric is given by the integral of a concave function over a compact convex set. This generalizes a result of Burgos,…

In this survey, we describe two different approaches to constructing affine schemes for commutative semirings: one based on prime ideals, and another based on prime kernels (also called subtractive ideals). We then explain how these two…

Residues appear naturally in various questions in complex and algebraic geometry: interpolation, duality, representation problems, and obstructions. The first global vanishing result in the projective plane, known as the Euler-Jacobi…
