It is well-known that theta characteristics on smooth plane curves over a field of characteristic different from two are in bijection with certain smooth complete intersections of three quadrics. We generalize this bijection to possibly singular hypersurfaces of any dimension over arbitrary fields including those of c...
We look into a construction of principal abelian varieties attached to certain spin manifolds, due to Witten and Moore-Witten around 2000 and try to place it in a broader framework. This is related to Weil intermediate Jacobians but it also suggests to associate abelian varieties to polarized even weight Hodge structu...
In this article, we study topological properties of Voisin's punctual Hilbert schemes of an almost-complex fourfold $X$. In this setting, we compute their Betti numbers and construct Nakajima operators.
We study the supersingular locus of a reduction at an inert prime of the Shimura variety attached to $\mathrm{GU}(2,n-2)$. More concretely, we decompose the supersingular locus into a disjoint union of iterated fibrations over (classical) Deligne-Lusztig varieties after taking perfection.
We characterize plane rational curves of degree four with two or more inner Galois points. A computer verifies the existence of plane rational curves of degree four with three inner Galois points.
Let $X$ be a minimal projective 3-fold of general type. The pluricanonical section index $\delta(X)$ is defined to be the minimal integer $m$ so that $P_{m}(X)\geq 2$.
We show the density of the jumping loci of the Picard number of a hyperkähler manifold under small deformation and provide several applications. In particular, we apply this to reveal the structure of hierarchy among all the narrow Mordell-Weil lattices of Jacobian K3 surfaces.
In this paper, we study special cycles on the basic locus of certain unitary Shimura varieties over the ramified primes and their local analogues on the corresponding Rapoport-Zink spaces. We study the support and compute the dimension of these cycles.
We transform the positive-genus real Gromov-Witten invariants of many real-orientable symplectic threefolds into signed counts of curves. These integer invariants provide lower bounds for counts of real curves of a given genus that pass through conjugate pairs of constraints.
We study orientability issues of moduli spaces from gauge theories on Calabi-Yau manifolds. Our results generalize and strengthen those for Donaldson-Thomas theory on Calabi-Yau manifolds of dimensions 3 and 4.
We prove canonical isomorphisms between Spin Verlinde spaces, i.e, spaces of global sections of a determinant line bundle over the moduli space of semistable Spin-bundles over a smooth projective curve C, and the dual spaces of theta functions over Prym varieties of unramified double covers of C.
Moraga and Yeong conjectured that for a smooth complex projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$, an ample line bundle $A$ on $X$ and an integer $m \ge 3 n + 1$, very general elements of the adjoint linear system $|\omega_{X} \otimes A^{\otimes m}|$ are algebraically hyperbolic. We prove the conjecture for spherical var...
We prove the finiteness of the number of blow-analytic equivalence classes of embedded plane curve germs for any fixed number of branches and for any fixed value of $\mu'$ ---a combinatorial invariant coming from the dual graphs of good resolutions of embedded plane curve singularities. In order to do so, we devel...
A tropical curve \Gamma is a metric graph with possibly unbounded edges, and tropical rational functions are continuous piecewise linear functions with integer slopes. We define the complete linear system |D| of a divisor D on a tropical curve \Gamma analogously to the classical counterpart.
We describe a kind of deformation of the anti-DeRham algebra on a Calabi-Yau manifold $X$. These are in 1-1 correspondence with the total cohomology $\oplus H^i (X, \C)$.
We study canonical filtrations of finite-dimensional associative algebras and Lie algebras. These filtrations are defined via optimal destabilizing one-parameter subgroups in the sense of geometric invariant theory (GIT), and appear to be a new invariant of finite-dimensional algebras.
Given a compact complex manifold X of dimension n, we define a bimeromorphic invariant $\kappa_+(X)$ as the maximum p for which there is a saturated line subsheaf L of the sheaf of holomorphic p forms whose Kodaira dimension $\kappa (L)$ equals p. We call X special if $\kappa_+(X)=0$.
Let X be a separated finite type scheme over a noetherian base ring K. There is a complex C(X) of topological O_X-modules on X, called the complete Hochschild chain complex of X. To any O_X-module M - not necessarily quasi-coherent - we assign the complex Hom^{cont}_X(C(X),M) of continuous Hochschild cochains with valu...
Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over a field. We show that, under mild assumptions, in a family of primitive generically free $G$-varieties over a base variety $B$ the essential dimension of the geometric fibers may drop on a countable union of Zariski closed subsets of $B$ and stays constant away from this counta...
In this paper, we study the double Danielewski varieties which arose from the research on the classical Cancellation Problem. We describe the Makar-Limanov invariant and locally nilpotent derivations of these varieties.
A conjectural generalization of the McKay correspondence in terms of stringy invariants to arbitrary characteristic, including the wild case, was recently formulated by the author in the case where the given finite group linearly acts on an affine space. In cases of very special groups and representations, the conject...
We introduce deformation theoretic methods for determining when a curve $X$ in a non-hyperelliptic jacobian $JC$ will deform with $JC$ to a non-jacobian. We apply these methods to a particular class of curves in the second symmetric power $C^{(2)}$ of $C$.
We construct a sequence of rank-$n$ indecomposable vector bundles on $\mathbb P^n\times\mathbb P^n$ for every $n\geq 2$ and in every positive characteristic that are not pullbacks via any map $\mathbb P^n\times\mathbb P^n\to \mathbb P^{m} $
The Nash blowing-up (or modification) of an algebraic variety $X$ is a canonical process that produces a proper, birational morphism $\pi : X' \to X$ of varieties. It is expected that the singularities of $X'$ will be better than those of $X$.
Brown constructed a series of threefold flips given by the GIT quotient of a hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^5$. In this article, we classify threefold flips and flops which are the GIT quotients of complete intersections in $\mathbb{C}^6$.
We study GIT stability of divisors in products of projective spaces. We first construct a finite set of one-parameter subgroups sufficient to determine the stability of the GIT quotient.
In this short paper we combine the representability theorem introduced in [17, 18] with the theory of derived formal models introduced in [2] to prove the existence representability of the derived Hilbert space RHilb(X) for a separated k-analytic space X. Such representability results relies on a localization theorem s...
We prove that the existence of log minimal models in dimension $d$ essentially implies the LMMP with scaling in dimension $d$. As a consequence we prove that a weak nonvanishing conjecture in dimension $d$ implies the minimal model conjecture in dimension $d$.
Answering a question posed by Enriques, we construct a minimal smooth algebraic surface $S$ of general type over the complex numbers with $K^2 = 45$ and $p_g = 4$, and with birational canonical map. Our surface is a regular (q=0) ball quotient which is an etale quotient of a Hirzebruch covering of the plane.
We investigate when the tangent bundle of a projective manifold has a non-trivial first order (or positive-dimensional) deformation. This leads to a new conjectural characterization of the complex projective space.

We prove that the moduli space A_{11}^{lev} of (1,11) polarized abelian surfaces with level structure of canonical type is birational to Klein&#39;s cubic hypersurface: <br>a^2b+b^2c+c^2d+d^2e+e^2a=0 in P^4. <br>Therefore, A_{11}^{lev} is unirational but not rational, and there are no Gamma_{11}-cusp forms of weight 3...
Using the formalism of Cox rings and universal torsors, we prove a decomposition of the Grothendieck motive of the moduli space of morphisms from an arbitrary smooth projective curve to a Mori Dream Space (MDS). <br>For the simplest cases of MDS, that of toric varieties, we use this decomposition to prove an instance ...
In the late 50&#39;s A. Van de Ven stated that the only compact submanifolds with splitting tangent sequence of the projective space are linear subspaces. In this paper a classification of all submanifolds with splitting tangent sequence of some further classes of (homogeneous) manifolds is given, like quadrics or abe...
Let $\mathcal{W}\subset\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$ be a surface given by the vanishing of a $(2,2,2)$-form. These surfaces admit three involutions coming from the three projections $\mathcal{W}\to\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$, so we call them $\textit{tri-involutive K3 (TIK3) surfaces}$.
For a smooth projective variety $X$, we study analogs of Quot functors in hearts of non-standard $t$-structures of $D^b(\mathrm{Coh}(X))$. The technical framework is that of families of $t$-structures, as studied in <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.08184" data-arxiv-id="1902.08184" class="link-https">arXiv:1902.081...
Hurwitz correspondences are certain multivalued self-maps of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{0,N}$. They arise in the study of Thurston&#39;s topological characterization of rational functions.
Building on the seminal work of Gromov on endomorphisms of symbolic algebraic varieties [10], we introduce a notion of cellular automata over schemes which generalize affine algebraic cellular automata in [7]. We extend known results to this more general setting.
We generalize a vanishing theorem for the cohomology of symmetric powers of the cotangent bundle of subvarieties of projective space due to Schneider. From this we deduce new vanishing results for Green-Griffiths jet differential bundles, generalizing results of Diverio and Pacienza-Rousseau.
We study the moduli space of a product of stable varieties over the field of complex numbers, as defined via the minimal model program. Our main results are:
In its most basic form, Dubreil&#39;s Theorem states that for an ideal $I$ defining a codimension $2$, arithmetically Cohen--Macaulay subscheme of projective $n$-space, the number of generators of $I$ is bounded above by the minimal degree of a minimal generator plus $1$. By introducing a new ideal $J$ which is the co...
We show that Berkovich analytic geometry can be viewed as relative algebraic geometry in the sense of Toën--Vaquié--Vezzosi over the category of non-Archimedean Banach spaces. For any closed symmetric monoidal quasi-abelian category we can define a topology on certain subcategories of the of the category of affine sch...
We study tuples of matrices with rigidity index two in $\Sp_4(\mathbb{C})$, which are potentially induced by differential operators of Calabi-Yau type. The constructions of those monodromy tuples via algebraic operations and middle convolutions and the related constructions on the level differential operators lead to ...
We construct a special family of equivariant coherent sheaves on the Hilbert scheme on $n$-points in the affine plane. The equivariant Euler characteristic of these sheaves are closely related to the symmetic functions $(-1)^{n-1} \nabla p_n$.
We provide conditions and algorithmic tools so as to classify and construct the smallest possible determinantal formulae for multihomogeneous resultants arising from Weyman complexes associated to line bundles in products of projective spaces. We also examine the smallest Sylvester-type matrices, generically of full r...
The link between modular functions and algebraic functions was a driving force behind the 19th century study of both. Examples include the solutions by Hermite and Klein of the quintic via elliptic modular functions and the general sextic via level $2$ hyperelliptic functions.
One may construct a large class of Calabi-Yau varieties by taking anticanonical hypersurfaces in toric varieties obtained from reflexive polytopes. If the intersection of a reflexive polytope with a hyperplane through the origin yields a lower-dimensional reflexive polytope, then the corresponding Calabi-Yau varieties...
For a line bundle L on a smooth surface S, it is now known that the degree of the Severi variety of cogenus-d curves is given by a universal polynomial in the Chern classes of L and S if L is d-very ample. For S rational, we relax the latter condition substantially: it suffices that three key loci be of codimension mo...
This paper determines the normal forms of hyperelliptic supersingular curves of genus g over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic 2 for 0 &lt; g&lt; 9. We also show that every hyperelliptic supersingular curve of genus 9 over F has an equation y^2-y=x^19+c^8x^9+c^3x for some c in F_2bar.
Using the Semple bundle construction, we derive an intersection-theoretic formula for the number of simultaneous contacts of specified orders between members of a generic family of degree $d$ plane curves and finitely many fixed curves. The contacts counted by the formula occur at nonsingular points of both the member...
Let $\Cr_\Q(2)$ be the Cremona group of rank $2$ over rational numbers. We give a classification of large finite subgroups $G$ of $\Cr_\Q(2)$ and give a new sharp bound smaller (but not multiplicative) than $M(\Q)=120960 = 2^7\cdot3^3\cdot5\cdot7$; the one given in \cite{MR2567402}.
We show that $sl_2$ conformal block divisors do not cover the nef cone of $\bar{M}_{0,6}$, or the $S_9$-invariant nef cone of $\bar{M}_{0,9}$. A key point is to relate the nonvanishing of intersection numbers between these divisors and F-curves to the nonemptiness of some explicitly defined polytopes.
We investigate relative holomorphic connections on a principal bundle over a family of compact complex manifolds. A sufficient condition is given for the existence of a relative holomorphic connection on a holomorphic principal bundle over a complex analytic family.
Let $\mathscr{A}$ be a real projective line arrangement and $M(\mathscr{A})$ its complement in $\mathbb{CP}^2$. We obtain an explicit expression in terms of Randell&#39;s generators of the meridians around the exceptional divisors in the blow-up $\bar{X}$ of $\mathbb{CP}^2$ in the singular points of $\mathscr{A}$.
We generalize the construction of Raynaud of smooth projective surfaces of general type in positive characteristic that violate the Kodaira vanishing theorem. This corrects an earlier paper of the same purpose.
Sen&#39;s theorem on the ramification of a $p$-adic analytic Galois extension of $p$-adic local fields shows that its perfectoidness is equivalent to the non-vanishing of its arithmetic Sen operator. By developing $p$-adic Hodge theory for general valuation rings, we establish a geometric analogue of Sen&#39;s criteri...
This paper continues our study of the sheaf associated to Kähler differentials in the cdh-topology and its cousins, in positive characteristic, without assuming resolution of singularities. The picture for the sheaves themselves is now fairly complete.
The present paper concerns the question of the violation of the r-th inequality for extremal curves in the projective r-space, posed by T. Kato and G. Martens. We show that the answer is negative in many cases.
Here we classify the weakly uniform rank two vector bundles on multiprojective spaces. Moreover we show that every rank $r&gt;2$ weakly uniform vector bundle with splitting type $a_{1,1}=...=a_{r,s}=0$ is trivial and every rank $r&gt;2$ uniform vector bundle with splitting type $a_1&gt;...&gt;a_r$, splits.
This note is based on my talk at ICCM 2013, Taipei. We give an exposition of the group-theoretic method and recent results on the questions of non-emptiness and dimension of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties in affine flag varieties.
In this paper we consider the question of when Seshadri constants on abelian surfaces are integers. Our first result concerns self-products $E\times E$ of elliptic curves: If $E$ has complex multiplication in $\Z[i]$ or in $\Z[\frac12(1+i\sqrt3)]$ or if $E$ has no complex multiplication at all, then it is known that f...
In this note we give a quick and simple proof of the existence (and uniqueness) of Zariski decompositions on surfaces. While Zariski&#39;s original proof employs a rather sophisticated procedure to construct the negative part of the decomposition, the present approach is based on the idea that the positive part can be...
We explain that the Plücker relations provide the defining equations of the thick flag manifold associated to a Kac-Moody algebra. This naturally transplant the result of Kumar-Mathieu-Schwede about the Frobenius splitting of thin flag manifolds to the thick case.
In this paper, we prove that the tangent bundle of the moduli space $\cSU_C(r,d)$ of stable bundles of rank $r&gt;2$ and of fixed determinant of degree $d$ (such that $(r,d)=1$), on a smooth projective curve $C$ is always stable, in the sense of Mumford-Takemoto. This verifies a well-known conjecture, and is related t...
For $\epsilon$-lc Fano type varieties $X$ of dimension $d$ and a given finite set $\Gamma$, we show that there exists a positive integer $m_0$ which only depends on $\epsilon,d$ and $\Gamma$, such that both $|-mK_X-\sum_i\lceil mb_i\rceil B_i|$ and $|-mK_X-\sum_i\lfloor mb_i\rfloor B_i|$ define birational maps for any ...
Let $G=SO(8n+4,\mathbb{C})$ ($n\ge 1$). Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ containing a maximal torus $T$ of $G.
We present a construction of Donaldson-Thomas invariants for three-dimensional projective Calabi-Yau Deligne-Mumford stacks. We also study the structure of these invariants for etale gerbes over such stacks.
In this paper, we prove the lack of asymptotic transitivity of the outer automorphism group action of $\mathbb{Z}^r$ on $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$-character varieties of $\mathbb{Z}^r$ for $n=2,3$ and $r\geq 2$. Along the way, we stratify the character varieties and compute the $E$-polynomial, also known as the Hod...
We give conditions for topological and bi-Lipschitz equivalences within a class of mixed singularities of Pham-Brieskorn type. We then derive the construction of topologically trivial infinite families with distinct bi-Lipschitz types.
In this sequel to arxiv:<a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1012.0835" data-arxiv-id="1012.0835" class="link-https">arXiv:1012.0835</a> we develop Bezout type theorems for semidegrees (including an explicit formula for {\em iterated semidegrees}) and an inequality for subdegrees. In addition we prove (in case of surfaces) ...
In this paper we discuss the geometry of affine Deligne Lusztig varieties with very special level structure, determining their dimension and connected and irreducible components. As application, we prove the Grothendieck conjecture for Shimura varieties with very special level at $p$ and a function field analogue.
Given an uncountable algebraically closed field $K$, we proved that if partially defined function $f\colon K \times \dots \times K \dashrightarrow K$ defined on a Zariski open subset of the $n$-fold Cartesian product $K \times \dots \times K$ is rational in each coordinate whilst other coordinates are held constant, th...
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. The question of irreducibility of the punctual Hilbert scheme Hilb_d P^n and its Gorenstein locus for various d was studied in [CEVV8, CN9, CN10, CN11].
In this paper, we show that the Galois representations provided by $\ell$-adic cohomology of proper smooth varieties, and more generally by $\ell$-adic intersection cohomology of proper varieties, over any field, are orthogonal or symplectic according to the degree. We deduce this from a preservation result of orthogo...
We prove a `Whitney&#39; presentation, and a `Coulomb branch&#39; presentation, for the torus equivariant quantum K theory of the Grassmann manifold $\mathrm{Gr}(k;n)$, inspired from physics, and stated in an earlier paper. The first presentation is obtained by quantum deforming the product of the Hirzebruch $\lambda_...
We show that a complex projective manifold X which satisfies the Gromov&#39;s h-principle is `special&#39;, and raise some questions about the reverse implication, the extension to the quasi-K\&#34; ahler case, and the relationships of these properties to the `Oka&#39; property. The guiding principle is that the exist...
We develop the theory of fundamental classes in the setting of motivic homotopy theory. Using this we construct, for any motivic spectrum, an associated bivariant theory in the sense of Fulton-MacPherson.
Let $Y$ admit a rectangular Lefschetz decomposition of its derived category, and consider a cyclic cover $X\to Y$ ramified over a divisor $Z$. In a setting not considered by Kuznetsov and Perry, we define a subcategory $\mathcal{A}_Z$ of the equivariant derived category of $X$ which contains, rather than is contained ...
We consider the class of quasiprojective varieties admitting a dominant morphism onto a curve with negative Euler characteristic. The existence of such a morphism is a property of the fundamental group.
We give a simple proof of Voisin&#39;s Theorem for general canonical curves of even genus. This completely determines the terms of the minimal free resolution of the coordinate ring of such curves.
We supply a detailed proof of the result by P.S. Green and T. H$\ddot{\text{u}}$bsch that all complete intersection Calabi--Yau 3-folds in product of projective spaces are connected through projective conifold transitions (known as the standard web). We also introduce a subclass of small transitions which we call prim...
We prove the abundance theorem for semi log canonical surfaces in positive characteristic.
We give equivalent descriptions for the augmented and diminished base loci of vector bundles in characteristic zero. We show that these base loci behave well under pullback, tensor product, and direct sum.
We give a embedding of the Lagrangian Grassmannian LG(n) inside an ordinary Grassmannian that is well-behaved with respect to the Wronski map. As a consequence, we obtain an analogue of the Mukhin-Tarasov-Varchenko theorem for LG(n).
We establish a system of formal noncommutative calculus for differential forms and polyvector fields, which forms the foundations for the study of pre-Calabi-Yau categories. Using an explicit trace map, we show that any $n$-Calabi-Yau structure on a non-positively graded dg algebra $A$ induces a $(2-n)$-shifted symple...
Let M be a compact hyperkaehler manifold, and W the coarse moduli of complex deformations of M. Every positive integer class v in $H^2(M)$ defines a divisor $D_v$ in W consisting of all algebraic manifolds polarized by v. We prove that every connected component of this divisor is dense in W.
We prove that a projective surface of globally $F$-regular type defined over a field of characteristic zero is of Fano type.
We study the variation of linear sections of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$. We completely classify all plane curves, necessarily singular, whose line sections do not vary maximally in moduli.
We prove geometric and cohomological stabilization results for the universal smooth degree $d$ hypersurface section of a fixed smooth projective variety as $d$ goes to infinity. We show that relative configuration spaces of the universal smooth hypersurface section stabilize in the completed Grothendieck ring of varie...
The main aim of this article is to show that a very general 3-dimensional del Pezzo fibration of degree 1,2,3 is not stably rational except for a del Pezzo fibration of degree 3 belonging to explicitly described 2 families. Higher dimensional generalizations are also discussed and we prove that a very general del Pezz...
Let X be a smooth quasiprojective subscheme of P^n of dimension m &gt;= 0 over F_q. Then there exist homogeneous polynomials f over F_q for which the intersection of X and the hypersurface f=0 is smooth.
Let X be an irreducible symplectic manifold and L a nef line bundle on X which is isotropic with respect to the Beauville-Bogomolov quadratic form. It is known that a subgroup Aut(X,L) of an automorphism group of X which fix L is almost abelian.
A motive over a field $k$ is of abelian type if it belongs to the thick and rigid subcategory of Chow motives spanned by the motives of abelian varieties over $k$. This paper contains three sections of independent interest.
Fix a Calabi-Yau 3-fold $X$ satisfying the Bogomolov-Gieseker conjecture of Bayer-Macrì-Toda, such as the quintic 3-fold. By two different wall-crossing arguments we prove two different explicit formulae relating rank 0 Donaldson-Thomas invariants (counting torsion sheaves on $X$ supported on ample divisors) in terms ...
Iterated Grassmannian bundles over moduli stacks of vector bundles on a curve are shown to be birational to an affine space times a moduli stack of degree 0 vector bundles, following the method of King and Schofield. Applications include the birational type of some Brill-Noether loci, of moduli schemes for vector bund...
We answer an open problem raised by Chen and Zhang in 2008 and prove that, for any minimal projective 3-fold $X$ of general type with the geometric genus $\geq 5$, $X$ is birationally fibred by a pencil of $(1,2)$-surfaces (i.e. $c_1^2=1$, $p_g=2$) if and only if the $4$-canonical map $\varphi_{4,X}$ is non-birational....
An abelian cover is a finite morphism $X\to Y$ of varieties which is the quotient map for a generically faithful action of a finite abelian group $G$. Abelian covers with $Y$ smooth and $X$ normal were studied in \cite{Pardini_AbelianCovers}.
We introduce a new arithmetic invariant for hermitian line bundles on an arithmetic variety. We use this invariant to measure the variation of the volume function with respect to the metric.
We study the arithmetic of complete intersections in projective space over number fields. Our main results include arithmetic Torelli theorems and versions of the Shafarevich conjecture, as proved for curves and abelian varieties by Faltings.
This is an expository article on the recent studies of Ruan&#39;s crepant resolution/flop conjecture and its possible relations to the K-theory integral structure in quantum cohomology.
