The paper provides a description of the sheaves of K\"ahler differentials of the arc space and jet schemes of an arbitrary scheme where these sheaves are computed directly from the sheaf of differentials of the given scheme. Several…
Jet schemes and arc spaces received quite a lot of attention by researchers after their introduction, due to J. Nash, and established their importance as an object of study in M. Kontsevich's motivic integration theory. Several results…
Families of m-jet spaces and arc spaces. Let V be an algebraic variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The m-jet spaces and the arc space provide the information on the geometry of the variety V, therefore…
We study jet schemes and arc spaces in the context of derived algebraic geometry. Explicitly, we consider the jet and arc functors in the category of schemes and study their animations to the category of derived schemes -- what we call the…
The embedded Nash problem for a hypersurface in a smooth algebraic variety, is to characterize geometrically the maximal irreducible families of arcs with fixed order of contact along the hypersurface. We show that divisors on minimal…
The theory of relative logarithmic jet spaces is developed for log schemes. With this theory the existence of bounds of intersection multiplicities of curves and divisors on certain log schemes is established. This result extends those of…
In this paper we explore the generalized Nash problem for arcs on a germ of smooth surface: given two prime divisors above its special point, to determine whether the arc space of one of them is included in the arc space of the other one.…
This paper is a survey on arc spaces, a recent topic in algebraic geometry and singularity theory. The geometry of the arc space of an algebraic variety yields several new geometric invariants and brings new light to some classical…
In this paper we introduce a maximal divisorial set in the arc space of a variety. The generalized Nash problem is reduced to a translation problem of the inclusion of two maximal divisorial sets. We study this problem and show a counter…
Families of jets through singularities of algebraic varieties are here studied in relation to the families of arcs originally studied by Nash. After proving a general result relating them, we look at normal locally complete intersection…
This work provides a unified formalism for studying difference and (Hasse-) differential algebraic geometry, by introducing a theory of "iterative Hasse rings and schemes". As an application, Hasse jet spaces are constructed generally,…
We study derivations and differential forms on the arithmetic jet spaces of smooth schemes, relative to several primes. As applications we give a new interpretation of arithmetic Laplacians and we discuss the de Rham cohomology of some…
We introduce the concept of the area of a jet, and show how it can be used to perform the subtraction of even a large amount of diffuse noise from hard jets.
Given an arbitrary projective birational morphism of varieties, we provide a natural and explicit way of constructing relative compactifications of the maps induced on the main components of the jet schemes. In the case the morphism is the…
If a morphism of germs of schemes induces isomorphisms of all local jet schemes, does it follow that the morphism is an isomorphism? This problem is called the local isomorphism problem. In this paper, we use jet schemes to introduce…
This paper deals with the Nash problem, which consists in proving that the number of families of arcs on a singular germ of a surface $S$ coincides with the number of irreducible components of the exceptional divisor in the minimal…
This article studies jet schemes of monomial schemes. They are known to be equidimensional but usually are not reduced. We thus investigate their structure further, giving a formula for the multiplicity along every component of the jet…

The notion of prolongation of an algebraic variety is developed in an abstract setting that generalises the difference and (Hasse) differential contexts. An interpolating map that compares the prolongation spaces with algebraic jet spaces…
