We consider fibrations by affine lines on smooth affine surfaces obtained as complements of smooth rational curves $B$ in smooth projective surfaces $X$ defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We observe that…

Given an essentially finite type morphism of schemes f: X --> Y and a positive integer d, let f^{d}: X^{d} --> Y denote the natural map from the d-fold fiber product, X^{d}, of X over Y and \pi_i: X^{d} --> X the i'th canonical projection.…

Let $k$ be a complete non-archimedean non-trivial valued field. In this paper, we investigate whether every $k$-algebra homomorphism between $k$-affinoid algebras is automatically bounded. We show that this property holds if and only if…

We say that an indecomposable Cartan matrix A with entries in the ground field of characteristic 0 is almost affine if the Lie sub(super)algebra determined by it is not finite dimensional or affine but the Lie (super)algebra determined by…

Let G be a complex reductive group. A normal G-variety X is called spherical if a Borel subgroup of G has a dense orbit in X. Of particular interest are spherical varieties which are smooth and affine since they form local models for…

A graded-division algebra is an algebra graded by a group such that all nonzero homogeneous elements are invertible. This includes division algebras equipped with an arbitrary group grading (including the trivial grading). We show that a…

The deformation theory of affine cones over polarized projective varieties, initiated by Pinkham and further developed by Schlessinger and Wahl, is central to the study of singularities and graded deformation functors. For a projective…

Let $k$ be a field. In this paper, we introduce the notions of $\textit{reduction order}$ and $\textit{reduction-factorization}$ on words, and use them to show that any right or left Noetherian pointed Hopf algebra over $k$ is affine. This…

Let X be a projective geometrically irreducible non-singular algebraic curve defined over a finite field F of order $q^2$. If the number of F-rational points of X satisfies the Hasse-Weil upper bound, then X is said to be F-maximal. For a…

Let $X$ be an irreducible algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$, endowed with an algebraic foliation ${\cal{F}}$. In this paper, we introduce the notion of minimal invariant variety $V({\cal{F}},Y)$ with respect to $({\cal{F}},Y)$, where $Y$…

Trinomial varieties are affine varieties given by a system of equations consisting of polynomials with three terms. Such varieties are total coordinate spaces of normal varieties with torus action of complexity one. For an affine variety…

A distinguished variety in the polydisc $\mathbb D^n$ is an affine complex algebraic variety that intersects $\mathbb D^n$ and exits the domain through the $n$-torus $\mathbb T^n$ without intersecting any other part of the topological…

Let $\mathbb K$ be a field of characteristic 0, let $S$ be a complete local ring with coefficient field $\mathbb K$, let $\mathbb K[[x_1,\dots,x_n]]$ be the ring of formal power series in variables $x_1,\dots, x_n$ with coefficients from…

We give conditions under which a germ of a holomorphic mapping in $\Bbb C^N$, mapping an irreducible real algebraic set into another of the same dimension, is actually algebraic. Let $A\subset \bC^N$ be an irreducible real algebraic set.…

We construct examples of normal affine varieties X of dimension greater than or equal to 4 such that the group of special automorphisms SAut(X) acts on X with an open orbit O and the complement X\O has codimension one.

The amoeba of an affine algebraic variety V in (C^*)^r is the image of V under the map (z_1, ..., z_r) -> (log|z_1|, ..., log|z_r|). We give a characterisation of the amoeba based on the triangle inequality, which we call testing for…

We consider the Noetherian properties of the ring of differential operators of an affine semigroup algebra. First we show that it is always right Noetherian. Next we give a condition, based on the data of the difference between the…

(1) If $R$ is an affine algebra of dimension $d\geq 4$ over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_{p}$ with $p>3$, then the group structure on ${\rm Um}_d(R)/{\rm E}_d(R)$ is nice. (2) If $R$ is a commutative noetherian ring of dimension $d\geq 2$ such…

Let $K$ be a complete non-trivially valued non-Archimedean field. Given an algebraic group over $K$ on which every regular function is constant, any rigid analytic function is shown to be constant too. It follows that an algebraic group…

We prove the following result: Let B be a smooth, irreducible, quasi-projective variety over the complex numbers and assume that B has a projective compactification \bar{B} such that \bar{B} - B is of codimension at least two in \bar{B}.…
