Anti-Pluricanonical Systems On Q-Fano Threefolds
We investigate birationality of the anti-pluricanonical map , the
rational map defined by the anti-pluricanonical system , on
-Fano threefolds.Comment: 18 page
Systems of Hess-Appel'rot type
We construct higher-dimensional generalizations of the classical
Hess-Appel'rot rigid body system. We give a Lax pair with a spectral parameter
leading to an algebro-geometric integration of this new class of systems, which
is closely related to the integration of the Lagrange bitop performed by us
recently and uses Mumford relation for theta divisors of double unramified
coverings. Based on the basic properties satisfied by such a class of systems
related to bi-Poisson structure, quasi-homogeneity, and conditions on the
Kowalevski exponents, we suggest an axiomatic approach leading to what we call
the "class of systems of Hess-Appel'rot type".Comment: 40 pages. Comm. Math. Phys. (to appear
Finite Generation of Canonical Ring by Analytic Method
In the 80th birthday conference for Professor LU Qikeng in June 2006 I gave a
talk on the analytic approach to the finite generation of the canonical ring
for a compact complex algebraic manifold of general type. This article is my
contribution to the proceedings of that conference from my talk. In this
article I give an overview of the analytic proof and focus on explaining how
the analytic method handles the problem of infinite number of interminable
blow-ups in the intuitive approach to prove the finite generation of the
canonical ring. The proceedings of the LU Qikeng conference will appear as

Period polynomials, derivatives of L-functions, and zeros of polynomials
Period polynomials have long been fruitful tools for the study of values of L-functions in the context of major outstanding conjectures. In this paper, we survey some facets of this study from the perspective of Eichler cohomology. We discuss ways to incorporate non-cuspidal modular forms and values of derivatives of L-functions into the same framework. We further review investigations of the location of zeros of the period polynomial as well as of its analogue for L-derivatives
