We study algebraicity and smoothness of fixed point stacks for flat group schemes which have a finite composition series whose factors are either reductive or proper, flat, finitely presented, acting on algebraic stacks with affine,…

Let K be an algebraically closed field endowed with a complete non-archimedean norm. Let f:Y -> X be a map of K-affinoid varieties. We prove that for each point x in X, either f is flat at x, or there exists, at least locally around x, a…

Let X be a projective irreducible smooth algebraic variety. A "fine moduli space" of sheaves on X is a family F of coherent sheaves on X parametrized by an integral variety M such that : F is flat on M; for all distinct points x, y of M the…

Let $A$ be an algebra over a field $F$ with {\rm char}$(F)\ne 2$. If $A$ is generated as an algebra by $[[A,A],[A,A]]$, then for every skew-symmetric bilinear map $\Phi:A\times A\to X$, where $X$ is an arbitrary vector space over $F$, the…

We determine the central simple algebras D over a functionfield K of trancendence degree two which admit a model of smooth Cayley-Hamilton algebras. This happens if and only if there is a smooth model S of K such that the ramification…

Given topological spaces X and Y, a fundamental problem of algebraic topology is understanding the structure of all continuous maps X -> Y . We consider a computational version, where X, Y are given as finite simplicial complexes, and the…

We formalize in Lean the following foundational result in commutative algebra: Let $R \to S$ be a faithfully flat map of (not necessarily noetherian) commutative rings, and let $P$ be an arbitrary $R$-module. Then $P$ is projective over $R$…

We prove a generic flatness result for the cohomology of thickenings of a projective scheme that is smooth over a Noetherian domain containing a field of characteristic zero. Our study is motivated, in part, by a classical question in…

Given a birational modification $X \to Y$ of complex projective varieties with fiber dimension 1 and rational singularities, consider the main component of Bridgeland's moduli space $W \to Y$ of perverse point sheaves on $X/Y$. We give…

This a first step to develop a theory of smooth, etale and unramified morphisms between noetherian formal schemes. Our main tool is the complete module of differentials, that is a coherent sheaf whenever the map of formal schemes is of…

It is proved that if $\varphi\colon A\to B$ is a local homomorphism of commutative noetherian local rings, a nonzero finitely generated $B$-module $N$ whose flat dimension over $A$ is at most $\mathrm{edim}\, A - \mathrm{edim}\, B$, is free…

Fix a noetherian scheme S. For any flat map f: X->Y of separated essentially-finite-type perfect S-schemes we define a canonical derived-category map c(f):\H(X)->f^!\H(Y), the fundamental class of f, where \H(Z) is the (pre-)Hochschild…

We show that on a closed smooth manifold $M$ equipped with $k$ fiber bundle structures whose vertical distributions span the tangent bundle, every smooth diffeomorphism $f$ of $M$ sufficiently close to the identity can be written as a…

Let $\pi : X\to \Lambda$ be a flat family of smooth complex projective varieties parameterized by a smooth quasi-projective variety $\Lambda$, and let $f: X\to X$ be a family of automorphisms with positive topological entropy. Suppose…

Raynaud--Gruson characterized flat and pure morphisms between affine schemes in terms of projective modules. We give a similar characterization for non-affine morphisms. As an application, we show that every quasi-coherent sheaf is the…

Let $X$ be a factorial complex affine variety of dimension $\ge 3$ with an algebraic action of the additive group $G_a$. Let $\pi : X \to Y$ be the algebraic quotient morphism where we assume $Y$ is an affine variety. When $\pi$ is…

We prove that on separated algebraic surfaces every coherent sheaf is a quotient of a locally free sheaf. This class contains many schemes that are neither normal, reduced, quasiprojective or embeddable into toric varieties. Our methods…

Let $f\colon Y \to X$ be a proper flat morphism of locally noetherian schemes. Then, the locus in $X$ over which $f$ is smooth is stable under generization. We prove that under suitable assumptions on the formal fibers of $X$, the same…
