In this short note, we investigate the existence of orbifold K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on toric varieties. In particular, we show that every $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial normal projective toric variety allows an orbifold K\"ahler-Einstein metric.…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the canonical divisor to vanish on a quasi-homogeneous affine algebraic variety.
Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional normal $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial projective variety with canonical singularities and Picard number one such that $X$ is smooth in codimension two, $-K_X$ is ample and $n\geq 2$. We prove that $X$ satisfies the…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety with a nef anticanonical divisor over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, we establish a precise structure of $X$ under the condition that $a_X: X \to {\rm Alb}(X)$ is…
In this paper, we compute the nef cone and the pseudo-effective cone of $C\times J$ for a smooth projective curve $C$ and its Jacobian variety $J$ such that $C\times J$ has the minimal Picard number. As a consequence, we also compute the…
Kleiman's criterion states that, for $X$ a projective scheme, a divisor $D$ is ample if and only if it pairs positively with every non-zero element of the closure of the cone of curves. In other words, the cone of ample divisors in $N^1(X)$…
We give a criterion for a nef divisor $D$ to be semiample on a Calabi--Yau threefold $X$ when $D^3=0=c_2(X)\cdot D$ and $c_3(X)\neq 0$. As a direct consequence, we show that on such a variety $X$, if $D$ is strictly nef and $\nu(D)\neq 1$,…
Given a normal complete variety $Y$ over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb K$, distinct effective Weil divisors $D_1,... D_n$ of $Y$ and positive integers $d_1,... d_n$, we spell out the conditions for the existence of an abelian cover…
We use a polyhedral criterion for the existence of diagonal splittings to investigate which toric varieties X are diagonally split. Our results are stated in terms of the vector configuration given by primitive generators of the…
In this paper we study the ample cone of the moduli space $\mgn$ of stable $n$-pointed curves of genus $g$. Our motivating conjecture is that a divisor on $\mgn$ is ample iff it has positive intersection with all 1-dimensional strata (the…
The main result of this paper is that every (separated) toric variety which has a semigroup structure compatible with multiplication on the underlying torus is necessarily affine. In the course of proving this statement, we also give a…
Generalizing the passage from a fan to a toric variety, we provide a combinatorial approach to construct arbitrary effective torus actions on normal, algebraic varieties. Based on the notion of a ``proper polyhedral divisor'' introduced in…
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…
We prove that the sum of the Picard ranks of a polar pair of Gorenstein toric Fano varieties of dimension $d\geq 3$ is at most the minimum of the number of facets and vertices of the corresponding pair of reflexive polytopes minus $(d-1)$.…
Using an Euclidean approach, we prove a new upper bound for the number of closed points of degree 2 on a smooth absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curve defined over the finite field $\mathbb F\_q$.This bound enables us to provide…
Let M_g be the moduli space of smooth curves of genus g >= 3, and \bar{M}_g the Deligne-Mumford compactification in terms of stable curves. Let \bar{M}_g^{[1]} be an open set of \bar{M}_g consisting of stable curves of genus g with one node…
It is well known that when $f(v)$ is a constant for each vertex $v$, the connected $f$-factor problem is NP-Complete. In this note we consider the case when $f(v) \geq \lceil \frac{n}{2.5}\rceil$ for each vertex $v$, where $n$ is the number…
Let $X$ be a quasi-compact and quasi-separated scheme. There are two fundamental and pervasive facts about the unbounded derived category of $X$: (1) $\mathsf{D}_{\mathrm{qc}}(X)$ is compactly generated by perfect complexes and (2) if $X$…
Let $X$ be a projective Fano manifold of Picard number one, different from the projective space. There is a folklore conjecture that any non-constant endomorphism of $X$ is an isomorphism. In the first half of this article, we will prove…
We construct a full, strongly exceptional collection of line bundles on the variety X that is the blow up of the projectivization of the vector bundle O_{P^{n-1}}\oplus O_{P^{n-1}}(b) along a linear space of dimension n-2, where b is a…
