We use the mirror theorem for toric Deligne-Mumford stacks, proved recently by the authors and by Cheong-Ciocan-Fontanine-Kim, to compute genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of a number of toric orbifolds and gerbes. We prove a mirror theorem for a class of complete intersections in toric Deligne-Mumford stacks, and use this to compute genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of an orbifold hypersurface.

The DK Flip Conjecture of Bondal-Orlov and Kawamata states that there should be an embedding of derived categories for any flip, which is known to be true for toroidal flips. In this paper, we construct new examples of Grassmannian flips that satisfy the DK Flip Conjecture.

We give an example of a dominant rational self-map of the projective plane whose dynamical degree is a transcendental number.

In this paper, we study smooth complex projective varieties X such that some exterior power ⋀^rT_X of the tangent bundle is strictly nef. We prove that such varieties are rationally connected. We also classify the following two cases. If T_X is strictly nef, then X isomorphic to the projective space P^n. If ⋀^2T_X is strictly nef and if X has dimension at least 3, then X is either isomorphic to P^n or a quadric Q^n.
