Free curves and fundamental groups
Eric Jovinelly, Brian Lehmann, Eric Riedl
We show that klt Fano varieties and certain lc Fano varieties contain free higher-genus curves in their smooth loci. Our methods also allow us to find free curves on varieties in p…

Optimal bounds in Bend-and-Break
Eric Jovinelly, Brian Lehmann, Eric Riedl
We improve the Bend-and-Break result of Miyaoka and Mori by establishing the optimal degree bound. Our result also yields optimal bounds on lengths of extremal rays of log canonica…
