We prove vanishing of the higher direct images of the structure (and the canonical) sheaf for a proper birational morphism with source a smooth variety and target the quotient of a smooth variety by a finite group of order prime to the…

This work investigates the existence of complex structures on 2-step nilpotent Lie algebras arising from finite graphs. We introduce the notion of adapted complex structure, namely a complex structure that maps vertices and edges of the…

We exhibit a new proof, relying on bivariant theory, that the nilpotent cone is rationally smooth. Our approach enables us to prove a slightly more general statement.

It is shown that projectivized irreducible components of nilpotent cones of complex symmetric spaces are projective self-dual algebraic varieties. Other properties equivalent to their projective self-duality are found.

In this note, we show that the cohomology groups of (virtually) nilpotent K\"ahler groups are naturally endowed with a mixed Hodge structure. These structures make the Hopf morphisms into mixed Hodge structures morphisms. We illustrate this…

The holographic duality allows to construct and study models of strongly coupled quantum matter via dual gravitational theories. In general such models are characterized by the absence of quasiparticles, hydrodynamic behavior and Planckian…

We prove that no nilpotent Lie algebra admits an invariant generalized Kaehler structure. This is done by showing that a certain differential graded algebra associated to a generalized complex manifold is formal in the generalized Kaehler…

Let $B$ be a nilpotent matrix and suppose that its Jordan canonical form is determined by a partition $\lambda$. Then it is known that its nilpotent commutator $N_B$ is an irreducible variety and that there is a unique partition $\mu$ such…

Two interesting questions in algebraic geometry are: (i) how can a smooth projective varieties degenerate? and (ii) given two such degenerations, when can we say that one is "more singular/degenerate" than the other? Schmid's Nilpotent…

We prove some results on the nilpotent orbit theorem for complex variation of Hodge structures.

Let $M = \Gamma \backslash G$ be a nilmanifold endowed with an invariant complex structure. We prove that Kuranishi deformations of abelian complex structures are all invariant complex structures, generalizing a result of C. Maclaughlin, H.…

We study singularities obtained by the contraction of the maximal divisor in compact (non kaehlerian) surfaces which contain global spherical shells. These singularities are of genus 1 or 2, may be Q-Gorenstein, numerically Gorenstein or…

In the recent paper "The Nakayama functor and its completion for Gorenstein algebras", a class of Gorenstein algebras over commutative noetherian rings was introduced, and duality theorems for various categories of representations were…

We define a notion of Gorenstein flat dimension for unbounded complexes over left GF-closed rings. Over Gorenstein rings we introduce a notion of Gorenstein cohomology for complexes; we also define a generalized Tate cohomology for…

We show that the strong Rost nilpotence holds for motives of generic hyperplane sections of twisted Milnor hypersurfaces. Hence, we provide a new family of examples of smooth projective algebraic varieties which satisfy the strong Rost…

We show that the existence of a left-invariant pluriclosed Hermitian metric on a unimodular Lie group with a left-invariant abelian complex structure forces the group to be $2$-step nilpotent. Moreover, we prove that the pluriclosed flow…

This is a survey on formality results relying on weight structures. A weight structure is a naturally occurring grading on certain differential graded algebras. If this weight satisfies a purity property, one can deduce formality. Algebraic…

Using geometric Eisenstein series, foundational work of Arinkin and Gaitsgory constructs cuspidal-Eisenstein decompositions for ind-coherent nilpotent sheaves on the de Rham moduli of local systems. This article extends these constructions…

We classify all Gorenstein Fano threefolds with at worst canonical singularities for which the anticanonical system has a nonempty base locus.

We consider the variety of nilpotent elements in the dual of the Lie algebra of a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field. We propose a definition of a partition of this variety into smooth locally closed smooth…
