We study Witt groups of smooth curves and surfaces over algebraically closed fields of characteristic not two. In both dimensions, we determine both the classical Witt group and Balmer's shifted Witt groups. In the case of curves, the…

We prove that every action of a finite group all of whose Sylow subgroups are cyclic on the K-theory of a Kirchberg algebra can be lifted to an action on the Kirchberg algebra. The proof uses a construction of Kirchberg algebras…

In this paper we prove a new characterization of the distinguished unipotent orbits of a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. For classical groups we prove the characterization by a combinatorial…

We show that each local field $\mathbb{F}_q((t))$ of characteristic $p > 0$ is characterised up to isomorphism within the class of all fields of imperfect exponent at most $1$ by (certain small quotients of) its absolute Galois group…

Let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a subgroup of $GL_d(p)$. We define $G$ to be $p$-exceptional if it has order divisible by $p$, but all its orbits on vectors have size coprime to $p$. We obtain a classification of $p$-exceptional linear groups.…

We characterise the integral affine plane curves over a finite field $k$ with the property that all but finitely many of their $\overline{k}$-points have coordinates that are $j$-invariants of elliptic curves with isomorphic endomorphism…

In this paper, we show that each finite group $G$ containing at most $p^2$ Sylow $p$-subgroups for each odd prime number $p$, is a solvable group. In fact, we give a positive answer to the conjecture in \cite{Rob}.

This paper proves two theorems (1) Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. I prove (Theorem 2.1.1) that if, $p > 13$ or $p = 11$, then the isomorphism class of any supersingular elliptic curve is a zero divisor in…

A characterization is completed for finite groups acting arc-transitively on maps with square-free Euler characteristic, associated with infinite families of regular maps of square-free Euler characteristic presented. This is based on a…

The study of algebraic curves $\cX$ with numerous automorphisms in relation to their genus $g(\cX)$ is a well-established area in Algebraic Geometry. In 1995, Irokawa and Sasaki \cite{Sasaki} gave a complete classification of curves over…

The recently developed theory of Schur rings over a finite cyclic group is generalized to Schur rings over a ring R being a product of Galois rings of coprime characteristics. It is proved that if the characteristic of R is odd, then as in…

Consider a totally disconnected group G, which is covirtually cyclic, i.e., contains a normal compact open subgroup L such that G/L is infinite cyclic. We establish a Wang sequence, which computes the algebraic K-groups of the Hecke algebra…

Let k be a field, and let {\pi}:\tilde{X} -> X be a proper birational morphism of irreducible k-varieties, where \tilde{X} is smooth and X has at worst quotient singularities. When the characteristic of k is zero, a theorem of Koll\'ar in…

We show an analogue of Jordan's theorem for algebraic groups defined over a field $\mathbb k$ of arbitrary characteristic. As a consequence, a Jordan-type property holds for the automorphism group of any projective variety over $\mathbb k$.

We present here a version of the Artin-Schreier polynomial that works in any characteristic. Let $C_p$ be the cyclic group of prime order $p$. Equivalently, we prove one can lift degree $p$ cyclic $C_p$ extensions over local rings $R,M$…

If $p$ is prime, a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g\geq 2$ is called cyclic $p$-gonal if it admits a cyclic group of automorphisms $C_{p}$ of order $p$ such that the quotient space $X/C_{p}$ has genus 0. If in addition $C_{p}$ is not…

In this paper we study division algebras over the function fields of curves over $\Q_p$. The first and main tool is to view these fields as function fields over nonsingular $S$ which are projective of relative dimension 1 over the $p$ adic…

We prove that a Hopf algebra of prime dimension $p$ over an algebraically closed field, whose characteristic is equal to $p$, is either a group algebra or a restricted universal enveloping algebra. Moreover, we show that any Hopf algebra of…

We prove that for every polynomial ODE there exists a Carnot group where the trajectories of the ODE lift to abnormal curves. The proof defines an explicit construction to determine a covector for the resulting abnormal curves. Using this…

Let $k$ be a field of arbitrary characteristic. Let $S$ be a singular surface defined over $k$ with multiple rational curve singularities and suppose that the Chow group of zero cycles of its normalisation $\tilde{S}$ is finite dimensional.…
