We give a new proof of the Hodge conjecture for abelian fourfolds of Weil type with discriminant 1 and all of their powers. The Hodge conjecture for these abelian fourfolds was proven by Markman using hyperholomorphic sheaves on…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a hyperelliptic curve $y^2 = p(x)$ defined over a number field $K$ with $p(x)$ integral of odd degree. The purpose of the present article is to prove lower and upper bounds for the $2$-Selmer group of the Jacobian of…

Let k be a field and f be a Siegel modular form of weight h \geq 0 and genus g>1 over k. Using f, we define an invariant of the k-isomorphism class of a principally polarized abelian variety (A,a)/k of dimension g. Moreover when (A,a) is…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite Coxeter group with reflection representation $R$. We show that a $\Gamma$-equivariant quasicoherent sheaf on $R$ descends to the quotient space $R//\Gamma$ if it descends to the quotient space $R//\langle…

We study ample divisors X with only rational singularities on abelian varieties that decompose into a sum of two lower dimensional subvarieties, X=V+W. For instance, we prove an optimal lower bound on the degree of the corresponding…

We consider the "limiting behavior" of *discriminants*, by which we mean informally the locus in some parameter space of some type of object where the objects have certain singularities. We focus on the space of partially labeled points on…

The tangential ramification locus $B_{X/Y}^t\subset B_{X/Y}$ is the subset of points in the ramification locus where the sheaf of relative vector fields $T_{X/Y}$ fails to be locally free. It was conjectured by Zariski and Lipman that if…

Let $K$ be any field and $x = (x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n)$. We classify all matrices $M \in {\rm Mat}_{m,n}(K[x])$ whose entries are polynomials of degree at most 1, for which ${\rm rk} M \le 2$. As a special case, we describe all such matrices…

The Pappas-Rapoport coherence conjecture, proved by Zhu, states that the dimensions of spaces of sections of certain line bundles coincide. The two sides of the equality correspond to the line bundles on spherical Schubert varieties in the…

We construct geometric isogenies between three types of two-parameter families of K3 surfaces of Picard rank 18. One is the family of Kummer surfaces associated with Jacobians of genus-two curves admitting an elliptic involution, another is…

Existence of superdecomposable pure-injective modules reflects complexity in the category of finite-dimensional representations over an algebra. Such an existence occurs when an algebra is non-domestic; a conjecture due to M. Prest. G.…

The main theorem (2.2) consists in two characterizations of isomorphisms of factorial domains in terms of prime or primary rings elements, and unramified, flat or weakly injective affine schemes morphisms. In order to apply this theorem to…

The Jacobian of a graph is a discrete analogue of the Jacobian of a Riemann surface. In this paper, we explore how Jacobians of graphs change when we glue two graphs along a common subgraph focusing on the case of cycle graphs. Then, we…

We prove Gray & Wolf's conjecture that a Riemannian homogeneous manifold admitting a strict nearly Kahler structure is 3-symmetric. We actually classify them in dimension 6 and use previous results of Swann, Cleyton and Nagy to prove the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated torsion-free group. We show that the statement of $\Gamma$ being virtually abelian is equivalent to the statement that the $*$-regular closure of the group ring $\mathbb{C}[\Gamma]$ in the algebra of…

Pick a random matrix $\gamma$ in $\Gamma={\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. Denote by $\mathcal{O}_K$ the Dedekind ring generated by its eigenvalues, and let $\Delta_K$, $\Delta_\gamma$ and $\Delta = {\rm Tr}(\gamma)^2-4$ be the respective…

The Jacobian conjecture is thought to have been proposed by O. H. Keller in 1939. However, we have found that the statement of the conjecture is precisely the main result of a paper published by L. Kraus in 1884. Although the final step of…

Motivated by a hat guessing problem proposed by Iwasawa \cite{Iwasawa10}, Butler and Graham \cite{Butler11} made the following conjecture on the existence of certain way of marking the {\em coordinate lines} in $[k]^n$: there exists a way…

We prove Chai's conjecture on the additivity of the base change conductor of semiabelian varieties in the case of Jacobians of proper curves. This includes the first infinite family of non-trivial wildly ramified examples. Along the way, we…

We give a simple and uniform proof of a conjecture of Haines-Richarz characterizing the smooth locus of Schubert varieties in twisted affine Grassmannians. Our method is elementary and avoids any representation theoretic techniques, instead…
