To each complex composition algebra $\mathbb{A}$, there associates a projective symmetric manifold $X(\mathbb{A})$ of Picard number one, which is just a smooth hyperplane section of the following varieties ${\rm Lag}(3,6), {\rm Gr}(3,6),…

Let $Z$ be a closed subscheme of a smooth complex projective variety $Y\subseteq \Ps^N$, with $\dim\,Y=2r+1\geq 3$. We describe the intermediate N\'eron-Severi group (i.e. the image of the cycle map $A_r(X)\to H_{2r}(X;\mathbb{Z})$) of a…

For a homomorphism f: A --> B of commutative rings, let D(A,B) denote Ker[Pic(A) --> Pic(B)]. Let k be a field and assume that A is a f.g. k-algebra. We prove a number of finiteness results for D(A,B). Here are four of them. 1: Suppose B is…

We give proofs of de Rham comparison isomorphisms for rigid-analytic varieties, with coefficients and in families. This relies on the theory of perfectoid spaces. Another new ingredient is the pro-etale site, which makes all constructions…

In this paper, we study various hyperbolicity properties for a quasi-compact K\"ahler manifold $U$ which admits a complex polarized variation of Hodge structures so that each fiber of the period map is zero-dimensional. In the first part,…

Conditional on the Lefschetz standard conjecture in degree 2, we prove that the index of a Brauer class on a smooth projective variety divides a fixed power of its period, uniformly in smooth families. In the other direction, we reinterpret…

We apply Tate's conjecture on algebraic cycles to study the N\'eron-Severi groups of varieties fibered over a curve. This is inspired by the work of Rosen and Silverman, who carry out such an analysis to derive a formula for the rank of the…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, let $e\ge2$, and put $q=p^e$. We study the wild family \[ \varphi_{r,e}(x)=x^q+qp^r x^{q+1}=x^{p^e}+p^{r+e}x^{p^e+1} \qquad (r\ge0), \] and the inverse B\"ottcher coordinate $f_{r,e}(x)=x\sum_{k\ge0}a_k(r,e)x^k/k!$…

This paper investigates Galois branched covers of the open $p$-adic disc and their reductions to characteristic $p$. Using the field of norms functor of Fontaine and Wintenberger, we show that the special fiber of a Galois cover is…

Let X/C be a non iso-trivial family of K3 surfaces over a curve C defined over characteristic p > 2 field. We show that if X avoids a necessary and structural obstruction coming from Frobenius, and satisfies a big monodromy condition, then…

We prove that, on a smooth, connected variety in characteristic zero admitting a rational point, local systems of geometric origin are stable under extension in the category of all local systems. As a consequence of this, we obtain a (Nori)…

We prove the smoothness of the L^2-analytic torsion form on some fiber bundles with non-compact fibers of positive Novikov-Shubin invariant. We do so by generalizing the arguments of Azzali-Goette-Schick to an appropriate Sobolev space, and…

We prove $p$-adic versions of a classical result in arithmetic geometry stating that an irreducible subvariety of an abelian variety with dense torsion has to be the translate of a subgroup by a torsion point. We do so in the context of…

Let $n=2g+2$ be a positive even integer, $f(x)$ a degree $n$ complex polynomial without multiple roots and $C_f: y^2=f(x)$ the corresponding genus $g$ hyperelliptic curve over the field $\C$ of complex numbers. Let a $(g-1)$-dimensional…

Let $f:X \rightarrow \Delta $ be a one-parameter semistable degeneration of $m$-dimensional compact complex manifolds. Assume that each component of the central fiber $X_0$ is K\"ahler. Then, we provide a criterion for a general fiber to…

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…

Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth and proper curve $S$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Let $A$ be an ordinary abelian variety over $K$. Suppose that the N\'eron model $\CA$ of $A$ over $S$ has a…

Let p be a fixed prime number. Let K be a totally real number field of discriminant D\_K and let T\_K be the torsion group of the Galois group of the maximal abelian p-ramified pro-p-extension of K (under Leopoldt's conjecture). We…

We study strong approximation of the equation N_{L/k}(x) = \prod_{i=1}^n p_i(t) where L/k is a finite extension of number fields and p_i(t)'s are distinct irreducible polynomials over k. We prove this equation satisfies strong approximation…

We discover a new Poincar\'e type phenomenon by establishing an optimal rigidity theorem for local CR mappings between circle bundles that are defined in a canonical way over (possibly reducible) bounded symmetric domains. We prove such a…
