For a generic one-parameter degeneration of projective hypersurfaces, we show that the periods of the limiting mixed Hodge structure are generated by certain special values of logarithm, Gamma and Dirichlet $L$-functions. Our proof is based…

For a $(-1)$-shifted Lagrangian in a critical locus, we construct a homomorphism from the $K$-group of matrix factorisations of the critical locus to the $K$-group of the Lagrangian, partially answering the Joyce-Safronov conjecture. The…

The purpose of this paper is to study low degree points on plane curves. We prove results analogous to those of Debarre and Klassen for singular plane curves with a finite number $\delta$ of ordinary nodes/cusps, where $\delta$ is bounded…

We solve the isoclinic Deligne--Simpson problem for exceptional groups, completing a program initiated by Sage et al. and Jakob--Yun. As a by-product, we obtain new examples of physically rigid irregular connections on the projective line.…

Let $\mathbb{V}$ be an admissible and graded-polarized integral variation of mixed Hodge structures over a smooth and irreducible complex algebraic variety $S$. We show that if the typical Hodge locus…

McMullen's compact Kobayashi-geodesic curve $V \subset X_L$, arising from the hyperbolic triangle group $\Delta(14,21,42)$ via a modular embedding into the Hilbert modular sixfold $X_L = \mathbb{H}^6/\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathcal{O}_L)$ attached…

Let $R$ be a 3-dimensional complete local Gorenstein isolated singularity. For a basic maximal modifying $R$-module $M$, we construct a wall-and-chamber structure, denoted by ${\sf Cone}(M)$ and called the mutation cone of $M$, in the real…

We study the relation between birational singularities of 1-foliations and those of their quotients. We prove that the quotient $X/\mathcal{F}$ is log canonical (resp. klt) if and only if $\mathcal{F}$ is $\frac{p-1}{p}$-log canonical…

We start studying the character variety of the algebraic supergroup OSp(1|2) from the algebraic perspective. We do this by first investigating the specific case of the character variety of the free group on two letters and try to describe…

For a normal projective variety $X$, the $\bf Q$-factoriality defect $\sigma(X)$ is defined to be the rank of the quotient of the group of Weil divisors by the subgroup of Cartier ones. We prove a slight improvement of a topological formula…

In this paper we study two families of three-dimensional quartics in the complex projective space ${\mathbb P}^4$: hypersurfaces with a unique quadratic singularity of rank 3, which is resolved by two blowups, and hypersurfaces with two…

Given a connected reductive algebraic group $G$ with a Borel subgroup $B$ and a quasiaffine spherical $G$-variety $X$, we prove that every $G$-orbit $Y$ contained in the regular locus of $X$ can be connected by a $B$-normalized additive…

We construct a sequence of complete moduli spaces $$E_0 \subset E_1 \subset E_2 \subset \dots E_n \subset\dots,$$ each of which is isomorphic to a weighted projective space. These spaces parameterize certain $n$-dimensional Calabi-Yau…

Consider a hyperelliptic curve of genus $2$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. After extending $K$ we can view it as a marked curve with its $6$ Weierstrass points. We classify the structure of the potentially stable reduction of such…

Given a Calabi-Yau smooth projective complete intersection variety $V$ over $\mathbb{C}$, a hybrid Landau-Ginzburg (LG) model may be associated using the Cayley trick. This hybrid LG model comprises a non-compact Calabi-Yau manifold…

In this note we observe that the categorical structure of a flop occurs for some well-known non-commutative resolutions of a nodal curve. We describe the flop-flop spherical twists, and give a geometric interpretation in terms of…

An explicit invariant-theoretic description of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_3^1$ of degree-three rational maps on $\mathbb{P}^1$ is developed. A cubic map $\phi$ is represented, up to conjugation, by the pair of binary forms $(f, g) \in…

An algebraic variety $X$ is called a homogeneous space if there exists a transitive regular action of an algebraic group on $X$. We prove inequalities between the dimension of a homogeneous space of a linear algebraic group and its Picard…

In some previous work, we defined an invariant of genus zero nonabelian Hodge spaces taking the form of a diagram. Here, enriching the diagram by fission data to obtain a refined invariant, the enriched tree, including a partition of the…

Fujita's conjecture is known to be false in positive characteristic. We conjecture and give an approach to a new variant of Fujita's conjecture for the basepoint-freeness, very ampleness, and jet ampleness of linear systems of the form…
