We present a form convergence theorem for sequences of sectorial forms and their associated semigroups in a complex Hilbert space. Roughly speaking, the approximating forms $a_n$ are all `bounded below' by the limiting form $a$, but in…

We prove that the Brauer algebra, for all parameters for which it is quasi-hereditary, is Ringel dual to a category of representations of the orthosymplectic super group. As a consequence we obtain new and algebraic proofs for some results…

Let r > 0 be an integer. We present a sufficient condition for an abelian variety A over a number field k to have infinitely many quadratic twists of rank at least r, in terms of density properties of rational points on the Kummer variety…

Given systems of two (inhomogeneous) quadratic equations in four variables, it is known that the Hasse principle for integral points may fail. Sometimes this failure can be explained by some integral Brauer-Manin obstruction. We study the…

We develop different formulas of algebraic and/or arithmetic nature allowing an explicit calculation, both over a finite field and over a field of characteristic 0, of the algebraic part of the unramified Brauer group of a homogeneous space…

We prove a special case of the following conjecture of Zilber-Pink generalising the Manin-Mumford conjecture : let $X$ be a curve inside an Abelian variety $A$ over $\bar{\Q}$, provided $X$ is not contained in a torsion subvariety, the…

In this paper we prove an abstract homomorphism theorem for bilinear multipliers in the setting of locally compact Abelian (LCA) groups. We also provide some applications. In particular, we obtain a bilinear abstract version of K. de…

We extend the Galois-theoretic Borovoi-Springer interpretation of algebraic bands to a class of \'etale-locally represented bands on the fppf site of an arbitrary field $k$, which we call separable bands. Next, a band represented…

We define a variant of intersection space theory that applies to many compact complex and real analytic spaces $X$, including all complex projective varieties; this is a significant extension to a theory which has so far only been shown to…

We give a simple argument to show that if {\alpha} is an affine isometric action of a product G x H of topological groups on a reflexive Banach space X with linear part {\pi}, then either {\pi}(H) fixes a unit vector or {\alpha}|G almost…

Let K/Q be a field extension of finite degree and let P(t) be a polynomial over Q that splits into linear factors over Q. We show that any smooth model of the affine variety defined by the equation N_{K/Q} (k) = P(t) satisfies the Hasse…

For rational points on algebraic varieties defined over a number field $K$, we study the behavior of the property of weak approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction under extension of the ground field. We construct K-varieties accompanied…

Over the function field of a complex algebraic curve, strong approximation off a non-empty finite set of places holds for the complement of a codimension $2$ closed subset in a homogeneous space under a semisimple algebraic group, and for…

For a smooth quasi-affine variety $X$, the affine closure $\overline{T^*X} := \text{Spec}(\mathbb{K}[T^*X])$ contains $T^*X$ as an open subset, and its smooth locus carries a symplectic structure. A natural question is whether…

We prove Bertini type theorems for the inverse image, under a proper morphism, of any Schubert variety in an homogeneous space. Using generalisations of Deligne's trick, we deduce connectedness results for the inverse image of the diagonal…

Let $G$ be a Lie group, $\Gamma\subset G$ a discrete subgroup, $X=G/\Gamma$, and $f$ an affine map from $X$ to itself. We give conditions on a submanifold $Z$ of $X$ guaranteeing that the set of points $x\in X$ with $f$-trajectories…

Let X be a smooth compactification of a homogeneous space of a linear algebraic group G over a number field k. We establish the conjecture of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Sansuc, Kato and Saito on the image of the Chow group of zero-cycles of X in…

We prove a conjecture of Kleinbock which gives a clear-cut classification of all extremal affine subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We also give an essentially complete classification of all Khintchine type affine subspaces, except for some…

We construct an explicit K3 surface over the field of rational numbers that has geometric Picard rank one, and for which there is a transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation. To do so, we exploit the relationship between…

In this article, we study the obstructions to the local-global principle for homogeneous spaces with connected or abelian stabilizers over finite extensions of the field $\mathbb{C}((x,y))$ of Laurent series in two variables over the…
