We give a geometric proof that Hasse principle holds for the following varieties defined over global function fields: smooth quadric hypersurfaces in odd characteristic, smooth cubic hypersurfaces of dimension at least $4$ in characteristic…

We prove new boundedness results across different areas of algebraic geometry, stemming from a unifying technical starting point: bounding the integer $q > 0$ such that the $q$-th Hodge bundle becomes (semi-)positive for families of stable…

We determine the structure of the Hodge ring, a natural object encoding the Hodge numbers of all compact Kaehler manifolds. As a consequence of this structure, there are no unexpected relations among the Hodge numbers, and no essential…

For a smooth complex projective variety, the rank of the N\'eron-Severi group is bounded by the Hodge number h^{1,1}. Varieties with rk NS = h^{1,1} have interesting properties, but are rather sparse, particularly in dimension 2. We discuss…

We extend the potential theory on almost minimzers from Part 1. We introduce so-called Hardy structures to study many classical operators using the tools from part 1. Furthermore, we show that for a naturally defined operator L, minimal…

We obtain a cohomological interpretation for Batyrev's stringy Hodge numbers in the full generality in which they are defined. In a previous paper, the second and third authors used motivic integration to define the stringy Hodge--Deligne…

We calculate the E-polynomials of certain twisted GL(n,C)-character varieties M_n of Riemann surfaces by counting points over finite fields using the character table of the finite group of Lie-type GL(n,F_q) and a theorem proved in the…

It is well known that a triangulation of a closed 2-manifold is tight with respect to a field of characteristic two if and only if it is neighbourly; and it is tight with respect to a field of odd characteristic if and only if it is…

We define and study the invariance properties of homological units. Some applications are given to the derived invariance of Hodge numbers. In particular, we prove that if X and Y are derived equivalent smooth projective varieties of…

The paper concerns discrete versions of the three well-known results of projective differential geometry: the four vertex theorem, the six affine vertex theorem and the Ghys theorem on four zeroes of the Schwarzian derivative. We study…

We introduce a partial positivity notion for algebraic maps via the defect of semismallness. This positivity notion is modeled on $m$-positivity in the analytic setting and $m$-ampleness in the geometric setting. Using this positivity…

We study the connection between stringy Betti numbers of Gorenstein toric varieties and the generating functions of the Ehrhart polynomials of certain polyhedral regions. We use this point of view to give counterexamples to Hibi's…

We prove that r independent homogeneous polynomials of the same degree d become dependent when restricted to any hyperplane if and only if their inverse system parameterizes a variety whose (d-1)-osculating spaces have dimension smaller…

We consider a possibility of the existence of intersection homology morphism, which would be associated to a map of analytic varieties. We assume that the map is an inclusion of codimension one. Then the existence of a morphism follows from…

Motivic integration and MacPherson's transformation are combined in this paper to construct a theory of "stringy" Chern classes for singular varieties. These classes enjoy strong birational invariance properties, and their definition…

Let G be a simple Lie group of real rank one, and S the ideal boundary of the corresponding symmetric space of noncompact type (H^n_R, H^n_C, H^n_H or H^2_O). We show the finiteness of the possible values of the secondary characteristic…

We prove compatibility relations between mixed Hodge numbers of $k$-Du Bois fibers in flat projective families and versal deformations of isolated $k$-Du Bois singularities. These extend the notion of polarized relations in asymptotic Hodge…

Statements analogous to the Hard Lefschetz Theorem (HLT) and the Hodge-Riemann bilinear relations (HRR) hold in a variety of contexts: they impose restrictions on the cohomology algebra of a smooth compact K\"ahler manifold or on the…

We describe the dimensions of Hochschild (co)homology groups of weighted projective curves over complex numbers. Surprisingly, all but one of those numbers depend only on the genus of the underlying non-weighted curve and the number of…

We introduce a simple calculus, extending a variant of the Steenbrink spectrum, for describing Hodge-theoretic invariants of (smoothings of) isolated singularities with (relative) automorphisms. After computing these "eigenspectra" in the…
