The Bogomolov-Beauville-Yau decomposition for klt projective varieties with trivial first Chern class - without tears

We give a simplified proof (in characteristic zero) of the decomposition theorem for connected complex projective varieties with klt singularities and a numerically trivial canonical bundle. The proof mainly consists in reorganizing some of the partial results obtained by many authors and used in the previous proof but avoids those in positive characteristic by S. Druel. The single, to some extent new, contribution is an algebraicity and bimeromorphic splitting result for generically locally trivial fibrations with fibers without holomorphic vector fields. We first give the proof in the easier smooth case, following the same steps as in the general case, treated next. The last two words of the title are plagiarized from [4].

The Action of a Plane Singular Holomorphic Flow on a Non-invariant Branch

We study the dynamics of a singular holomorphic vector field at $(\mathbb{C}^{2},0)$. Using the associated flow and its pullback to the blow-up manifold, we provide invariants relating the vector field, a non-invariant analytic branch of curve, and the deformation of this branch by the flow. This leads us to study the conjugacy classes of singular branches under the action of holomorphic flows. In particular, we show that there exists an analytic class that is not complete, meaning that there are two elements of the class that are not analytically conjugated by a local biholomorphism embedded in a one-parameter flow. Our techniques are new and offer an approach dual to the one used classically to study singularities of holomorphic vector fields.
