How to study a nice function on the real line? The physically motivated Fourier theory technique of harmonic analysis is to expand the function in the basis of exponentials and study the meaningful terms in the expansion. Now, suppose the…

We study torsors under finite group schemes over the punctured spectrum of a singularity $x\in X$ in positive characteristic. We show that the Dieudonn\'e module of the (loc,loc)-part $\mathrm{Picloc}^{\mathrm{loc},\mathrm{loc}}_{X/k}$ of…

Let K be a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic (0,p) with algebraically closed residue field, and let f: Y --> P^1 be a three-point G-cover defined over K, where G has a cyclic p-Sylow subgroup P. We examine the stable…

Cheeger-Simons differential characters, Deligne cohomology in the smooth category, the Hopkins-Singer construction of ordinary differential cohomology and the recent Harvey-Lawson constructions are each in two distinct ways Abelian group…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over the function field $K$ of a curve over a finite field. We describe several mild geometric conditions ensuring that the group $A(K^{\rm perf})$ is finitely generated and that the $p$-primary torsion…

We say an excellent local domain $(S,n)$ satisfies the vanishing conditions for maps of Tor, if for every $A\to R\to S$ with $A$ regular and $A\to R$ module-finite torsion-free extension, and every $A$-module $M$, the map $Tor^A_i(M, R)\to…

If K is a number field, arithmetic duality theorems for tori and complexes of tori over K are crucial to understand local-global principles for linear algebraic groups over K. When K is a global field of positive characteristic, we prove…

For a field $k$ of characteristic $0$, we present an algorithm for deciding if a morphism $\phi:k[X_1,...,X_m]\to k[X_1,...,X_m]$ has an inverse. The algorithm also shows how to find the inverse when it exists.

This paper contains two theorems concerning the vanishing of natural transformations of (co)homology functors. Precisely, assume that $R$ is a right noetherian ring and $f: M\rt N$ is a morphism of finitely generated right $R$-modules. The…

Motivated by applications in the theory of numeration systems and recognizable sets of integers, this paper deals with morphic words when erasing morphisms are taken into account. Cobham showed that if an infinite word $w =g(f^\omega(a))$…

Let $k$ be a finite field, a $p$-adic field or a number field. Let $K$ be a finite extension of the Laurent series field in $m$ variables $k((x_1,...,x_m))$ or, more generally, a finite extension of the field of rational functions…

Let $f \colon X \to Y$ be a morphism of concentrated schemes. We characterize $f$-perfect complexes $\mathcal{E}$ as those such that the functor $\mathcal{E} \otimes^{\mathbf{L}}_X \mathbf{L} f^*-$ preserves bounded complexes. We prove, as…

Relying on the formalism developed by Alexander Beilinson and Takeshi Saito, we compute the characteristic cycle of an external symmetric power of a tame \'etale sheaf on a curve. This generalizes a result of G\'erard Laumon in…

We study the topology of toric maps. We show that if $f\colon X\to Y$ is a proper toric morphism, with $X$ simplicial, then the cohomology of every fiber of $f$ is pure and of Hodge-Tate type. When the map is a fibration, we give an…

The famous Jacobian Conjecture asks if a morphism $f:K[x,y]\to K[x,y]$ with invertible Jacobian, is invertible ($K$ is a characteristic zero field). A known result says that if $K[f(x),f(y)] \subseteq K[x,y]$ is an integral extension, then…

We propose a slightly modified definition for the Fourier-Mukai transform (on abelian varieties) that makes it much easier to remember various formulas. As an application, we give relatively short proofs for two important theorems: the…

Let $X$ be a projective scheme over a field. We show that the vanishing cohomology of any sequence of coherent sheaves is closely related to vanishing under pullbacks by the Frobenius morphism. We also compare various definitions of ample…

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…

We show that using an idea from a paper by Van de Ven one may obtain a simple proof of Zak's classification of smooth projective surfaces with zero vanishing cycles. This method of proof allows one to extend Zak's theorem to the case of…
