Let $X$ be a smooth cubic hypersurface, and let $F$ be the Fano variety of lines on $X$. We establish a relation between the Chow motives of $X$ and $F$. This relation implies in particular that if $X$ has finite-dimensional motive (in the…
We present an approach to construct a class of generalized Frobenius manifold structures on the orbit spaces of affine Weyl groups, and prove that their monodromy groups are parabolic subgroups of the associated affine Weyl groups.
A very good cubic fourfold is a smooth cubic fourfold that does not contain a plane, a cubic scroll, or a hyperplane section with a corank 3 singularity. We prove that the normalization of the relative compactified Prym variety associated…
In this paper we are concerned with the monodromy of Picard-Fuch differential equations associated with one-parameter families of Calabi-Yau threefolds. Our results show that in the hypergeometric cases the matrix representations of…
We study linearizability of actions of finite groups on singular cubic threefolds, using cohomological tools, intermediate Jacobians, Burnside invariants, and the equivariant Minimal Model Program.
We construct first examples of Fano varieties with torsion in their third cohomology group. The examples are constructed as double covers of linear sections of rank loci of symmetric matrices, and can be seen as higher-dimensional analogues…
We construct a class of codimension-2 solutions in supergravity that realize T-folds with arbitrary $O(2,2,\mathbb{Z})$ monodromy and we develop a geometric point of view in which the monodromy is identified with a product of Dehn twists of…
The main purpose of this paper is twofold. We first want to analyze in details the meaningful geometric aspect of the method introduced in the previous paper [12], concerning regularity of families of irreducible, nodal "curves" on a…
We study geometries for the NS5-, the KK5- and the $5^2_2$-branes of codimension two in type II and heterotic string theories. The geometries are classified by monodromies that each brane has. They are the $B$-, the general coordinate and…
We construct explicit examples of cubic surfaces over $\bbQ$ such that the 27 lines are acted upon by the index two subgroup of the maximal possible Galois group. This is the simple group of order $25 920$. Our examples are given in…
A famous theorem of Shokurov states that a general anticanonical divisor of a smooth Fano threefold is a smooth K3 surface. This is quite surprising since there are several examples where the base locus of the anticanonical system has…
We investigate point-line geometries whose singular subspaces correspond to binary equidistant codes. The main result is a description of automorphisms of these geometries. In some important cases, automorphisms induced by non-monomial…
In this article we characterize the foliations that have the same Newton polygon that their union of formal separatrices, they are the foliations called of the second type. In the case of cuspidal foliations studied by Loray, we precise…
Quadratic flows have the unique property of uniform strain and are commonly used in turbulence modeling and hydrodynamic analysis. While previous application focused on two-dimensional homogeneous fluid, this study examines the geometric…
We classify the polarized symplectic automorphisms of Fano varieties of smooth cubic fourfolds (equipped with the Pl\"ucker polarization) and study the fixed loci.
The logarithmic connections studied in the paper are direct images of regular connections on line bundles over genus-2 double covers of the elliptic curve. We give an explicit parametrization of all such connections, determine their…
We classify all cubic extensions of any field of arbitrary characteristic, up to isomorphism, via an explicit construction involving three fundamental types of cubic forms. We deduce a classification of any Galois cubic extension of a…
The purpose of this note is to prove Grothendieck's standard conjectures for the Fano variety of lines on a smooth cubic hypersurface in projective space.
The object of this paper is to describe an explicit two--parameter family of logarithmic flat connections over the complex projective plane. These connections have dihedral monodromy and their polar locus is a prescribed quintic composed of…
Let F be a polarized irreducible holomorphic symplectic fourfold, deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme parametrizing length-two zero-dimensional subschemes of a K3 surface. The homology group H^2(F,Z) is equipped with an integral…
