We construct a family of plane curves as pull-backs of a conic for abelian coverings of P^2. If the conic is tangent to the ramification lines one obtains a family of curves of degree 2n with 3n singularities of type A_{n-1}. We calculate…

We study the group of symplectic birational transformations of the plane. It is proved that this group is generated by $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$, the torus and a special map of order $5$, as it was conjectured by A. Usnich. Then we…

A series of Zariski pairs and four Zariski triplets were found by using lattice theory of K3 surfaces. There is a Zariski triplet of which one member is a deformation of another.

We derive explicit defining equations for a number of irreducible maximizing plane sextics with double singular points only. For most real curves, we also compute the fundamental group of the complement; all groups found are abelian. As a…

Extending work of many authors we calculate the higher simple structure sets of lens spaces in the sense of surgery theory in the case when the fundamental group has order a power of $2$. As a corollary we also obtain a calculation of the…

We use classical invariant theory to construct invariants of complex graded Gorenstein algebras of finite vector space dimension. As a consequence, we obtain a way of extracting certain numerical invariants of quasi-homogeneous isolated…

This semi-expository paper discusses the log minimal model program as applied to the moduli space of curves, especially in the case of curves of genus two. Log canonical models for these moduli spaces can often be constructed using the…

Following our previous work, we develop an algorithm to compute a presentation of the fundamental group of certain partial compactifications of the complement of a complex arrangement of lines in the projective plane. It applies, in…

Alexander polynomials of sextics with only simple singularities or sextics of torus type with arbitrary singularities are computed. We show that for ieeducible sextics,there are four possibilities: $(t^2-t+1)^j, j=0,1,2,3$.

We compute cohomology of the moduli space of genus three curves with level two structure and some related spaces. In particular, we determine the cohomology groups of the moduli space of plane quartics with level two structure as…

We complete the proof of Oka's conjecture on the Alexander polynomial of an irreducible plane sextic. We also calculate the fundamental groups of irreducible sextics with a singular point adjacent to $J_{10}$.

Recently, W. Barth and S. Rams discussed sextics with up to 30 $A_2$-singularities (also called cusps) and their connection to coding theory [math.AG/0403018]. In the present paper, we find a sextic with 35 cusps within a four-parameter…

We study moduli spaces of certain sextic curves with a singularity of multiplicity 3 from both perspectives of Deligne-Mostow theory and periods of K3 surfaces. In both ways we can describe the moduli spaces via arithmetic quotients of…

For an arbitrary positive integer $n$ and a pair $(p, q)$ of coprime integers, consider $n$ copies of a torus $(p,q)$ knot placed parallel to each other on the surface of the corresponding auxiliary torus: we call this assembly a torus…

We study a certain family of simple fusion systems over finite $3$-groups, ones that involve Todd modules of the Mathieu groups $2M_{12}$, $M_{11}$, and $A_6=O^2(M_{10})$ over $\mathbb{F}_3$, and show that they are all isomorphic to the…

We study the commutator subgroup of integral orthogonal groups belonging to indefinite quadratic forms. We show that the index of this commutator is 2 for many groups that occur in the construction of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, in…

In this paper we describe logarithmic moduli spaces of pairs (S,D) consisting of minimal surfaces S of class VII with positive second Betti number b_2 together with reduced divisors D of b_2 rational curves. The special case of Enoki…

We prove that the complex surfaces parametrizing cuboids and face cuboids, as well as their minimal resolution of singularities, have trivial fundamental group. We then compute the fundamental group of certain open smooth subvarieties of…

Take a bounded symmetric domain $D$ and an arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$ of ${\rm Aut}(D)$. Take the quotient $D/\Gamma$, compactify and resolve the singularities. We study the fundamental group of the compact complex manifolds that result…

Fundamental groups of fake projective planes fall into fifty distinct isomorphism classes, one for each complex conjugate pair. We prove that this is not the case for their algebraic fundamental groups: there are only forty-six isomorphism…
