We prove Fourier restriction estimates by means of the polynomial partitioning method for compact subsets of any sufficiently smooth hyperbolic hypersurface in threedimensional euclidean space. Our approach exploits in a crucial way the…

We establish an effective Bertini-type theorem for hypersurfaces $X_f \colon f = 0$ defined over a finite field $k$ for which $f$ has no linear factors over the algebraic closure $\overline{k}$. Given a line $L$ defined over $k$ and a…

We generalize the functorial quasi-isomorphism in \cite{Davis2011} from overconvergent Witt de-Rham cohomology to rigid cohomology on smooth varieties over a finite field $k$, dropping the quasi-projectiveness condition. We do so by…

We establish an effective version of Schmidt's subspace theorem on a smooth projective variety $\mathcal{X}$ over function fields of characteristic zero for hypersurfaces located in m-subgeneral position with respect to $\mathcal{X}$. Our…

We present examples of smooth lattice polytopes in dimensions 3 and higher where each coefficient of their Ehrhart polynomials that can potentially be negative is indeed negative. This answers a question by Bruns. We also discuss…

We give sharp lower bounds for the degree of the syzygies involving the partial derivatives of a homogeneous polynomial defining an even dimensional nodal hypersurface. This implies the validity of formulas due to M. Saito, L. Wotzlaw and…

We investigate the logarithmic bundles associated to arrangements of hypersurfaces with a fixed degree in a smooth projective variety. We then specialize to the case when the variety is a quadric hypersurface and a multiprojective space to…

We study the asymptotic proportion of smooth plane curves over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ which are tangent to every line defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$. This partially answers a question raised by Charles Favre. Our techniques include…

We give yet another proof of the Riemann hypothesis for smooth projective varieties over a finite field (Deligne's theorem), by reducing to the hypersurface case. The latter was established by N. Katz via an elementary argument. A reduction…

A differential form vanishing on the tangent space at smooth points of a reduced embedded analytic germ is called conormal. For proving that a conormal one--form of a hypersurface vanishes at its singularities we state a Bertini--type…

A smooth scheme X over a field k of positive characteristic is said to be strongly liftable, if X and all prime divisors on X can be lifted simultaneously over W_2(k). In this paper, first we prove that smooth toric varieties are strongly…

Given a real projective curve with homogeneous coordinate ring R and a nonnegative homogeneous element f in R, we bound the degree of a nonzero homogeneous sum-of-squares g in R such that the product fg is again a sum of squares. Better…

We construct the moduli space of smooth hypersurfaces with level $N$ structure over $\mathbb{Z}[1/N]$. As an application we show that, for $N$ large enough, the stack of smooth hypersurfaces over $\mathbb{Z}[1/N]$ is uniformisable by a…

We survey some recent results concerning the so called Categorical Torelli problem. This is to say how one can reconstruct a smooth projective variety up to isomorphism, by using the homological properties of special admissible…

We study when a smooth variety $X$, embedded diagonally in its Cartesian square, is the zero scheme of a section of a vector bundle of rank $\dim(X)$ on $X\times X$. We call this the diagonal property (D). It was known that it holds for all…

We work over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. Ellingsrud-Peskine proved that smooth surfaces in P^4 are subject to strong limitations. Their whole argument is derived from the fact that the sectional genus of…

Let X be the quotient of a smooth projective variety over a field by a finite group action (in which case we say X is pseudo-smooth), such that the singularities of X are isolated k-rational points. Let Y be obtained by blowing up these…

Given an embedded smooth projective variety Y in CP^n, we show how the existence of a hypersurface with high multiplicity along Y, but of relatively low degree and log canonical near Y implies vanishing of higher cohomology for certain…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. Fix integers $n$ and $b$ with $n\geq 3$ and $1\leq b\leq n-1.$ Let $T^d_k$ be the moduli space of hypersurfaces $[F]$ in $\mathbb{P}^n_k$ of degree $l$ whose singular locus contains a subscheme of…

We employ the formalism of vanishing cycles and perverse sheaves to introduce and study the vanishing cohomology of complex projective hypersurfaces. As a consequence, we give upper bounds for the Betti numbers of projective hypersurfaces,…
