Studying crepant blow-ups of (compound) du Val singularities, we classify complexes of coherent sheaves which admit no negative self-extensions -- such a complex, up to flops and mutation equivalences, must either be (1) a module over a…

We investigate the homotopy groups of stable loci in affine Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT), arising from linear actions of complex reductive algebraic groups on complex affine spaces. Our approach extends the infinite-dimensional…

We consider a nodal curve $C$ in the complex projective plane whose irreducible components $C_i$ are smooth. A minimal set of generators $G$ for the first and second syzygy modules of the Jacobian ideal of $C$ are described, using recent…

To a generic hypersurface in the affine torus $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ we associate a hypersurface arrangement in the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ consisting of the $n+1$ coordinate hyperplanes and a generic hypersurface, and compute the…

We compute the stable cohomology of moduli spaces of hyperelliptic curves of a fixed genus embedded on a fixed Hirzebruch surface. We also describe these moduli spaces of embedded hyperelliptic curves in terms of moduli spaces of pointed…

We study the volumes of divisors in Calabi--Yau type varieties. We show that given a klt Calabi--Yau pair $(X,B)$ and an integral divisor $A$ on $X$, the volume of $A$ is in a fixed discrete set depending only on the dimension and…

We introduce a class of noncommutative surfaces called Artin--Schelter surfaces of del Pezzo types, which contains del Pezzo surfaces as special cases. We show that the moduli stacks of marked Artin--Schelter surfaces of del Pezzo types are…

We show that there exists a $2$-dimensional family of smooth cubic threefolds admitting unirational parametrizations of coprime degrees. This together with Clemens--Griffiths' work solves the long standing open problem whether there exists…

In this paper we study the structure of the coordinate ring of an affine ind-variety. We prove that any coordinate ring of an affine ind-variety which is not isomorphic to an affine algebraic variety does not have a countable set of…

In this paper, we investigate hypersurfaces defined over a ring of algebraic integers, and show that if the projection from a point induces a Galois extension over either a number field or the residue field associated with a prime ideal…

Let $Z$ be a projective hypersurface such that its underlying reduced variety has only isolated singularities. In case its irreducible components have constant multiplicities, for instance if $\dim Z>1$, we show that the spectrum of its…

We study the behavior of volumes of divisors in a family. We show that the volume of a divisor on the generic fiber equals the infimum of its volumes on fibers over any dense subset of the base. As an application, we show that the volume…

We summarise the chain of comparisons showing Hinich's derived Maurer-Cartan functor gives an equivalence between differential graded Lie algebras and derived Schlessinger functors on Artinian differential graded-commutative algebras. We…

The study of the topology of polynomial maps originates from classical questions in affine geometry, such as the Jacobian Conjecture, as well as from works of Whitney, Thom, and Mather in the 1950-70s on diffeomorphism types of smooth maps.…

For a tuple of $k+1$ convex polytopes $(A, B,\ldots, B)$ we solve the so-called effective membership problem, i.e. for a tuple $f=(f_1,\ldots, f_k)$ of polynomials satisfying some certain properties of generality and having Newton polytope…

We consider toric maximum likelihood estimation over the field of Puiseux series and study critical points of the likelihood function using tropical methods. This problem translates to finding the intersection points of a tropical affine…

For a pair (X,L) consisting of a projective variety X over a perfect field of characteristic p>0 and an ample line bundle L on X, we introduce and study a positive characteristic analog of the $\alpha$-invariant introduced by Tian, which we…

We introduce the class of permawound unipotent groups, and show that they simultaneously satisfy certain "ubiquity" and "rigidity" properties that in combination render them very useful in the study of general wound unipotent groups. As an…

To a quiver we associate a finite length monoidal abelian category which categorifies the corresponding preprojective K-theoretic Hall algebra of Varagnolo-Vasserot. The simples in this category provide a (dual) canonical basis of the Hall…

The aim of this article is to discuss the derived equivalence problem for a local model of the simple flop of type $D_4$, which was found by Kanemitsu. First, tilting bundles on both sides of the flop are constructed, and then those tilting…
