Assuming the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for the generic fiber of a Calabi-Yau fibration and the abundance conjecture, we show (1) the finiteness of minimal models, (2) the existence of a weak rational polyhedral fundamental domain…
We prove the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for klt Calabi-Yau pairs in dimension 2. That is, for a large class of rational surfaces as well as K3 surfaces and abelian surfaces, the action of the automorphism group of the surface on the…
It is conjectured that there exist finitely many isomorphism classes of simple endomorphism algebras of abelian varieties of GL_2-type over \Q of bounded dimension. We explore this conjecture when particularized to quaternion endomorphism…
Hilbert's 14th problem studies the finite generation property of the intersection of an integral algebra of finite type with a subfield of the field of fractions of the algebra. It has a negative answer due to the counterexample of Nagata.…
We relate the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for Calabi-Yau fiber spaces to the existence of Shokurov polytopes. For K3 fibrations, the existence of (weak) fundamental domains for movable cones is established. The relationship between…
We verify the Morrison--Kawamata conjecture for a certain class of rational threefolds, namely blowups of P^3 in the base locus of a net of quadrics with no reducible members. This seems to be the first verified case of the conjecture for…
We prove the weak relative Kawamata-Morrison movable cone conjecture for K-trivial fibrations whose very general fibre is a quotient, by a finite group of automorphisms acting freely in codimension one, of a product of certain Calabi-Yau…
We prove the Morrison--Kawamata cone conjecture for projective primitive symplectic varieties with $\Q$-factorial and terminal singularities with $b_2\geq 5$, from which we derive for instance the finiteness of minimal models of such…
Corvaja and Zannier conjectured that an abelian variety over a number field satisfies a modified version of the Hilbert property. We investigate their conjecture for products of elliptic curves using Kawamata's structure result for ramified…
We show that Hilbert's Tenth Problem is undecidable for complementary subrings of number fields and that the p-adic and archimedean ring versions of Mazur's conjectures do not hold in these rings. More specifically, given a number field K,…
Roberts, Freudenburg, and Daigle and Freudenburg have given the smallest counterexamples to Hilbert's fourteenth problem as rings of invariants of algebraic groups. Each is of an action of the additive group on a finite dimensional vector…
Let S be a smooth cubic surface over a field K. It is well-known that new K-rational points may be obtained from old ones by secant and tangent constructions. A Mordell-Weil generating set is a subset B of S(K) of minimal cardinality which…
Nagata solved Hilbert's 14-th problem in 1958 in the negative. The solution naturally lead him to a tantalizing conjecture that remains widely open after more than half a century of intense efforts. Using Nagata's theorem as starting point,…
This is a survey of the Kawamata-Morrison cone conjecture on the structure of Calabi-Yau varieties and more generally Calabi-Yau pairs. We discuss the proof of the cone conjecture for algebraic surfaces, with plenty of examples. We show…
We introduce a property of convex cones, being "well-clipped", that is inspired by the work of several complex algebraic geometers on the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture. That property is satisfied by movable cones of divisors on various…
We present two proofs for a bound on the rank of the Mordell-Weil group of some elliptic fibrations. The bounds apply to Calabi-Yau varieties, which are also of interest to the physics of string theory. We prove explicit bounds for…
Following a recent work of Oguiso, we calculate explicitly the groups of automorphisms and birational automorphisms on a Calabi-Yau manifold with Picard number two. When the group of birational automorphisms is infinite, we prove that the…
For all infinite rings $R$ that are finitely generated over $\mathbb{Z}$, we show that Hilbert's tenth problem has a negative answer. This is accomplished by constructing elliptic curves $E$ without rank growth in certain quadratic…
In this paper, we conjecture an extension of the Hilbert basis theorem and the finite generation of invariants to commutative algebras in symmetric finite tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We prove the conjecture in…
We establish two consequences of the Kawamata--Morrison--Totaro cone conjecture, and prove them unconditionally in all dimensions. First, for a K-trivial variety, the natural action of its automorphism group on the set of ample divisor…
