About the Lab
Professor Sung Rak Choi's research lab specializes in algebraic geometry, with a primary focus on the interplay between divisor theory, positivity properties of line bundles, and convex geometric objects such as Okounkov bodies. The lab investigates asymptotic invariants of pseudoeffective and abundant divisors, particularly through the lens of valuative and limiting Okounkov bodies, extending classical results of Lazarsfeld–Mustaţă and Kaveh–Khovanskii. A central theme is the geometric and numerical characterization of subvarieties like Nakayama and positive volume subvarieties, with applications to birational geometry and Mori theory. The lab also explores duality conjectures in the cone of curves and movable divisors, especially in Fano type varieties and Mori dream spaces.

15An Okounkov body is a convex subset in Euclidean space associated to a big divisor on a smooth projective variety with respect to an admissible flag. In this paper, we introduce two convex bodies associated to pseudoeffective divisors, called the valuative Okounkov bodies and the limiting Okounkov bodies, and show that these convex bodies reflect the asymptotic properties of pseudoeffective divisors as in the case with big divisors. Our results extend the works of Lazarsfeld–Mustaţă and Kaveh–Kh
Payne asked whether for a variety X of dimension d, the closed cone spanned by the divisors ample in dimension k (1 k d) and the closed cone spanned by the classes of curves on some Q-factorial small modifications of X movable in codimension dk are dual to each other. We prove that this is true for Fano type varieties and Mori dream spaces.
Recently, domestic construction companies have been moving towards overseas markets due to decreasing orders and an increase in competitiveness within the domestic market. However, there is a higher risk involved in the overseas construction industry than in the domestic construction industry. Especially, because domestic construction companies lack development's experience, such a companies have a weakness of hidden risk factors. For Overseas New Town development project's success of domestic c
We first prove some basic properties of Okounkov bodies, and give a characterization of Nakayama and positive volume subvarieties of a pseudoeffective divisor in terms of Okounkov bodies. Next, we show that each valuative and limiting Okounkov bodies of a pseudoeffective divisor which admits the birational good Zariski decomposition is a rational polytope with respect to some admissible flag. This is an extension of the result of Anderson-Küronya-Lozovanu about the rational polyhedrality of Okou

The aim of this paper is to study the Okounkov bodies associated to abundant divisors. As a main result, we prove that the valuative Okounkov bodies of an abundant divisor encode all the numerical properties. We apply this result to recover the asymptotic base loci of an abundant divisor from the valuative Okounkov bodies. We also give a criterion of when the valuative and limiting Okounkov bodies of an abundant divisor coincide by comparing their Euclidean volumes. To obtain these results, we p
Abstract We generalize Kawamata’s product formula for volumes of canonical divisors to arbitrary divisors using Okounkov bodies.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the close relation between Okounkov bodies and Zariski decompositions of pseudoeffective divisors on smooth projective surfaces. Firstly, we completely determine the limiting Okounkov bodies on such surfaces, and give applications to Nakayama constants and Seshadri constants. Secondly, we study how the shapes of Okounkov bodies change as we vary the divisors in the big cone.
본 연구에서는 고속철도 열차와 교량구조물의 상호작용에 의한 동적응답을 보다 정밀하게 분석하기 위해 3차원의 주행차량모형을 적용한 20량편성정밀 열차모형과 경부고속철도의 주교량 형식인 2경간 연속 PSC 박스거더교(2@40m)를 대상으로 3차원의 뼈대요소를 사용한 교량모형을 이용하여 철도교의 동적거동 해석 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 열차의 주행시험 결과와의 비교를 통해 개발된 프로그램의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 보다 효율적인 열차모형을 제시하기 위해 다양한 편성모형 및 하중모형의 조합에 따른 분석결과에 의하면 가장 무거운 KTX의 동력차를 대상으로 주행차량모형을 적용하고 나머지 차량들은 주행하중모형을 적용한 혼합모형이 효율적인 것으로 판단되었으며, 경부고속철도와 같이 복선구조의 교량인 경우에는 열차의 교행에 의해 증폭될 수 있는 교량의 동적응답 특성에 대한 체계적인 검토가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
An Okounkov body is a convex subset of Euclidean space associated to a divisor on a smooth projective variety with respect to an admissible flag. In this paper, we recover the asymptotic base loci from the Okounkov bodies by studying various asymptotic invariants such as the asymptotic valuations and the moving Seshadri constants. Consequently, we obtain the nefness and ampleness criteria of divisors in terms of the Okounkov bodies. Furthermore, we compute the divisorial Zariski decomposition by

To seek for the useful numerical analogues to the Iitaka dimension, various numerical Iitaka dimensions have been defined from a number of different perspectives. It has been accepted that all the known numerical Iitaka dimensions coincide with each other until the recent discovery of a counterexample constructed by Lesieutre. In this paper, we prove that many of them still coincide with the numerical Iitaka dimension introduced by Boucksom-Demailly-Păun-Peternell. On the other hand, we show tha
