In this paper we propose to use a relative variant of the notion of the \'{e}tale homotopy type of an algebraic variety in order to study the existence of rational points on it. In particular, we use an appropriate notion of homotopy fixed…

In this article, we develop a new index theory for noncompact manifolds endowed with an admissible exhaustion by compact sets. This index theory allows us to provide examples of noncompact manifolds with exotic positive scalar curvature…

We construct non-trivial elements in the homotopy groups of the observer moduli space of positive sectional curvature metrics on $\mathbb{C}P^n$ and non-trivial elements in the homotopy groups of the observer moduli space of positive scalar…

We study deformations of complex projective varieties that are homotopically or homologically trivial. We formulate several conjectures and give some examples and partial answers.

We record two remarks. First, for a compact K\"ahler manifold with semi-positive holomorphic sectional curvature, the rational dimension of the MRC fibration is exactly the number of non-truly-flat directions. Second, for compact K\"ahler…

We give a general treatment of deformation theory from the point of view of homotopical algebra following Hinich, Manetti and Pridham. In particular, we show that any deformation functor in characteristic zero is controlled by a certain…

A question of Avramov and Foxby concerning injective dimension of complexes is settled in the affirmative for the class of noetherian rings. A key step in the proof is to recast the problem on hand into one about the homotopy category of…

We show that discrete and classical homotopy theories are equivalent after localizing at n-equivalences for any non-negative integer n. By constructing an explicit homotopy inverse to the graph nerve functor associating an n-fibrant cubical…

We show that any closed biquotient with finite fundamental group admits metrics of positive Ricci curvature. Also, let M be a closed manifold on which a compact Lie group G acts with cohomogeneity one, and let L be a closed subgroup of G…

This note serves to record examples of diffeomorphisms of closed smooth $4$-manifolds $X$ that are homotopic but not pseudoisotopic to the identity, and to explain why there are no such examples when $X$ is orientable and its fundamental…
