We prove the special termination for log canonical pairs and its generalisation in the context of generalised pairs.

We provide explicit descriptions for the rational powers and Rees valuations of several classes of ideals invariant under natural actions of tori and products of general linear groups, in terms of polyhedra and lattice points. This allows…

In this paper, we examine how well a rational point P on an algebraic variety X can be approximated by other rational points. We conjecture that if P lies on a rational curve, then the best approximations to P on X can be chosen to lie…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Given a polynomial f(x,y) in K[x,y] with one place at infinity, we prove that either f is equivalent to a coordinate, or the family (f+c) has at most two rational elements. When…

Let U be an open subset of a unirational variety (or more generally of a separably rationally connected variety). We prove that there is rational curve C in U such that the fundamental group of C surjects onto the fundamental group of U.…

We give an explicit description of character sheaves for the symmetric pairs associated to inner involutions of the special linear groups. We make use of the general strategy given in [VX1] and central character consideration. We also…

We show that the intersection of the rational derived series of a one-relator group is rationally perfect and is normally generated by a single element. As a corollary, we characterise precisely when a one-relator group is residually…

Quot schemes of quotients of a trivial bundle of arbitrary rank on a nonsingular projective surface X carry perfect obstruction theories and virtual fundamental classes whenever the quotient sheaf has at most 1-dimensional support. The…

We introduce higher $F$-rationality generalising $F$-rationality. We prove that a normal variety over a field of characteristic zero is $m$-rational if and only if it is $m$-$F$-rational after reduction modulo a sufficiently large prime…

We show that for every coloring of the rationals into finitely many colors, one of the colors contains a set of the form $\{x,y,xy,x+y\}$ for some nonzero $x$ and $y$.

The purpose of this paper is to translate positivity properties of the tangent bundle (and the anti-canonical bundle) of an algebraic manifold into existence and movability properties of rational curves and to investigate the impact on the…

In this paper, we study the Eisenstein cohomology coming from Eisenstein series associated to degenerate principal series representations and prove certain rationality result.

This paper deals with two main topics related to Diophantine approximation. Firstly, we show that if a point on an algebraic variety is approximable by rational vectors to a sufficiently large degree, the approximating vectors must lie in…

In this short note we prove that if X is a separably rationally connected variety over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, then H^1(X, O_X)=0.

We investigate the question: what structures of numbers (as physical quantities) are suitable to be used in special relativity? The answer to this question depends strongly on the auxiliary assumptions we add to the basic assumptions of…

Let $b \geq 2$ be an integer and $S$ be a finite non-empty set of primes not containing divisors of $b$. For any non-dense set $A \subset [0,1)$ such that $A \cap \mathbb{Q}$ is invariant under $\times b$ operation, we prove the finiteness…

It is well known that the exceptional set in a resolution of a rational surface singularity is a tree of rational curves. We generalize the combinatoric part of this statement to higher dimensions and show that the highest cohomologies of…

The article is devoted to the investigation of representation of rational numbers by Cantor series. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a rational number to be representable by a positive Cantor series are formulated for the case of an…

We prove the vanishing modulo torsion of the higher direct images of the sheaf of Witt vectors (and the Witt canonical sheaf) for a purely inseparable projective alteration between normal finite quotients over a perfect field. For this, we…

Let $X$ be a toric variety. We establish vanishing (and non-vanishing) results for the sheaves $R^if_*\Omega^p_{\tilde X}(\log E)$, where $f: \tilde{X} \to X$ is a strong log resolution of singularities with reduced exceptional divisor $E$.…
