Let $G$ be a reductive group acting on an affine scheme $V$. We study the set of principal $G$-bundles on a smooth projective curve $\mathcal C$ such that the associated $V$-bundle admits a section sending the generic point of $\mathcal C$…

We prove that for every prime $p$ algebraically clean graphs of groups are virtually residually $p$-finite and cohomologically $p$-complete. We also prove that they are cohomologically good. We apply this to certain $2$-dimensional Artin…

The full automorphism group of a certain elementary abelian $p$-cover of the Hermitian curve in characteristic $p>0$ is determined. It is remarkable that the order of Sylow $p$-groups of the automorphism group is close to Nakajima's bound…

Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…

We study equivariant affine embeddings of homogeneous spaces and their equivariant automorphisms. An example of a quasiaffine, but not affine, homogeneous space with finitely many equivariant automorphisms is presented. We prove the…

We consider the subspace of the homology of a covering space spanned by lifts of simple closed curves. Our main result is the existence of unbranched covers of surfaces where this is a proper subspace. More generally, for a fixed finite…

In this paper, we show that general Fano complete intersections over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristics are separably rationally connected. Our proof also implies that general log Fano complete intersections with…

We show that principal bundles for a semisimple group on an arbitrary affine curve over an algebraically closed field are trivial, provided the order of $\pi_1$ of the group is invertible in the ground field, or if the curve has semi-normal…

We construct an embedding of a free Burnside group $B(m,n)$ of odd $n > 2^{48}$ and rank $m >1$ in a finitely presented group with some special properties. The main application of this embedding is an easy construction of finitely presented…

In his previous paper, the author proposed as a problem a purely inseparable analogue of the Abhyankar conjecture for affine curves in positive characteristic and gave a partial answer to it, which includes a complete answer for finite…

Let X be a smooth projective algebraic curve of genus g minus $r\geq 1$ points defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic $p\geq 0$. The structure of the largest prime to p quotient of the \'etale fundamental group is…

We consider the following question, concerning associative algebras R over an algebraically closed field k: When can the space of (equivalence classes of) finite dimensional irreducible representations of R be topologically embedded into a…

Let $X$ be a (projective, geometrically irreducible, nonsingular) algebraic curve of genus $g \ge 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of odd characteristic $p$. Let $Aut(X)$ be the group of all automorphisms of $X$ which fix…

We construct an embedding G of the category of graphs into the category of abelian groups such that for graphs X and Y we have Hom(GX,GY)=Z[Hom(X,Y)], the free abelian group whose basis is the set Hom(X,Y). The isomorphism is functorial in…

In this article we overview those aspects of the theory of affine semigroups and their algebras that have been relevant for our own research, and pose several open problems. Answers to these problems would contribute substantially to the…

The main result of the paper states that a connected complex affine algebraic curve is Lipschitz normally embedded (shortened to LNE afterwards) in $\mathbb{C}^n$ if and only if its germ at any singular point is a finite union of…

The fundamental group of the complement of a plane curve is a very important topological invariant. In particular, it is interesting to find out whether this group is determined by the combinatorics of the curve or not, and whether it is a…

Let X be a smooth projective hyperelliptic curve over an algeraically closed field k of prime characteristic p. The aim of this note is to find necessary and sufficient conditions on the automorphism group of the curve X to be lifted to…

Anabelian geometry suggests that, for suitably geometric objects, their \'etale fundamental groups determine the geometric objects up to isomorphism. From a group-theoretic viewpoint, this philosophy requires rigidity properties, which…

This note is an attempt to generalize Bolibruch's theorem from the projective line to curves of higher genus. We show that an irreducible representation of the fundamental group of an open in a curve of higher genus has always a…
