The aim of this paper is to clarify and generalize techniques of works alg-geom/9711024 (see also math.AG/9810097 and math.AG/9901004). Roughly speaking, we prove that for local Fano contractions the existence of complements can be reduced…
In this note we show that any basic abelian variety with additional structures over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ is isogenous to another one defined over a finite field. We also show that the category of…
The paper concerns fractal homeomorphism between the attractors of two bi-affine iterated function systems. After a general discussion of bi-affine functions, conditions are provided under which a bi-affine iterated function system is…
We describe the construction of the slice fibration of a given one.
We investigate geometry of D-affine varieties. Our main result is that a D-affine rational projective surface over an algebraically closed field is a generalised flag variety of a reductive group.
We consider a perturbation $f$ of a hyperbolic toral automorphism $L$. We study rigidity related to exceptional properties of the strong and weak stable foliations for $f$. If the strong foliation is mapped to the linear one by the…
We give a criterion of factoriality of a suspension. This allows to construct many examples of flexible affine factorial varieties. In particular, we find a homogeneous affine factorial 3-fold that is not a homogeneous space of an algebraic…
We investigate gauge anomalies in the context of orbifold conformal field theories. Such anomalies manifest as failures of modular invariance in the constituents of the orbifold partition function. We review how this irregularity is…
The goal of this paper is to explore the genus and degree of the Fano scheme of linear subspaces on a complete intersection in a complex projective space. Firstly, suppose that the expected dimension of the Fano scheme is one, we prove a…
We compute global log canonical thresholds, or equivalently alpha invariants, of birationally rigid orbifold Fano threefolds embedded in weighted projective spaces as codimension two or three. As an important application, we prove that most…
Orders in an algebraic number field form a class of rings which are of special historical interest to the field of factorization theory. One of the primary tools used to study factorization is elasticity - a measure of how badly unique…
Varieties without deformations are defined over a number field. Several old and new examples of this phenomenon are discussed such as Bely\u \i\ curves and Shimura varieties. Rigidity is related to maximal Higgs fields which come from…
We show that fixed dimensional klt weak Fano pairs with alpha-invariants and volumes bounded away from $0$ and the coefficients of the boundaries belong to the set of hyperstandard multiplicities $\Phi(\mathscr{R})$ associated to a fixed…
We describe the Fano scheme of lines on a general cubic threefold containing a plane over a field $k$ of characteristic different from 2. Then, we use the Fano scheme to characterize rationality for such cubic threefolds over nonclosed…
The notion of degree begins in field theory as the dimension of a field extension. In algebraic geometry, this idea reappears as the degree of a finite morphism, defined using the induced extension of function fields. For proper morphisms…
We investigate the relationship between the Fano type property on fibers over a Zariski dense subset and the global Fano type property. We establish the invariance of N\'eron-Severi spaces, nef cones, effective cones, movable cones, and…
In this paper we find the genus field of finite abelian extensions of the global rational function field. We introduce the term conductor of constants for these extensions and determine it in terms of other invariants. We study the…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $H\subseteq G$ be its subgroup. We prove that if a smooth del Pezzo surface over an algebraically closed field is $H$-birationally rigid then it is also $G$-birationally rigid, answering a geometric version of…
We prove that for any e>0, there exists only finitely many e-log terminal spherical Fano varieties of fixed dimension. We also introduce an invariant of a spherical subgroup H in a reductive group G which measures how nice an equivariant…
In this paper we present new results about the topology of the Milnor fibrations of analytic function-germs with a special attention to the topology of the fibers. In particular, we provide a short review on the existence of the Milnor…
