A category N of labeled (oriented) trivalent graphs (nets) or ribbon graphs is extended by new generators called fusing, braiding, twist and switch with relations which can be called Moore--Seiberg relations. A functor to N is constructed…

We give an elementary proof of the fact that a pure-dimensional closed subvariety of a complex abelian variety has a signed intersection homology Euler characteristic. We also show that such subvarieties which, moreover, are local complete…

We prove that the torsion subgroup of the abelian fundamental group is finite for a regular geometrically integral projective variety over a local field. We also study the structure of $SK_1(X)$ for a regular projective variety $X$ over a…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, F its algebraically closed extension, and G be the group of k-automorphisms of F endowed with a natural topology. One of the purposes of this paper is to show that any…

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 prove that certain degenerate abelian varieties, the compactified Jacobian of a nodal curve and a stable quasiabelian variety, satisfy autoduality. We establish this result by proving a comparison theorem that relates the associated…

We present a geometric realization of the duality between skeleta in $T^*\mathbb P^n$ and collars of local surfaces. Such duality is predicted by combining two auxiliary types of duality: on one side, symplectic duality between $T^*\mathbb…

Given an abelian variety J and an abelian subvariety A of J over a number field K, we study the visible elements of the Shafarevich-Tate group of A with respect to J over certain number field extension M of K. The notion of visible elements…

In this article we give a general approach to the following analogue of Shafarevich's conjecture for some polarized algebraic varieties; suppose that we fix a type of an algebraic variety and look at families of such type of varieties over…

Given a field with a set of discrete valuations $V$, we show how the genus of a division algebra over the field is related to the genus of the residue algebras at various valuations in $V$ and the ramification data. When the division…

Let $\breve{K}$ be a complete discrete valuation field with an algebraically closed residue field ${k}$ and ring of integers $\breve{{O}}$. Let $T$ be a torus defined over $\breve{K}$. Let $L^+T$ denote the connected commutative…

We first prove Bosch-L\"utkebohmert-Raynaud's conjectures on existence of global N\'eron models of not necessarily semi-abelian algebraic groups in the perfect residue fields case. We then give a counterexample to the existence in the…

Let G be a semiabelian variety defined over a finite subfield of an algebraically closed field K of prime characteristic. We describe the intersection of a subvariety X of G with a finitely generated subgroup of G(K).

The Shafarevich conjecture for a class of varieties over a number field posits the finitude of those with good reduction outside a finite set of primes. In the case of hypersurfaces in the torus $\mathbb{G}_m^n$, a natural class to consider…

Let S be the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring with function field K. Let X be a scheme over S. We will say that X is semi-factorial over S if each invertible sheaf on the generic fiber X_K can be extended to an invertible sheaf on X.…

For a compact complex manifold, we introduce holomorphic foliations associated with certain abelian subgroups of the automorphism group. Such foliations are generalizations of holomorphic principal torus bundles. If there exists a…

For any non-principal polarisation $D$, we explicitly construct $D$-polarised abelian variety $A$, such that its dual abelian variety is not (abstractly) isomorphic to $A$. For $\dim(A)>3$ the construction includes examples with submaximal…

Let A be an abelian surface over a fixed number field. If A is principally polarised, then it is known that the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of A must, if finite, be a square or twice a square. The situation for A not principally…

In this paper we determine the number of isomorphism classes of superspecial abelian varieties $A$ over the prime field $\Fp$ such that the relative Frobenius morphism $\pi_A$ satisfying $\pi_A^2=-p$.

We study N\'eron models of pseudo-Abelian varieties over excellent discrete valuation rings of equal characteristic $p>0$ and generalize the notions of good reduction and semiabelian reduction to such algebraic groups. We prove that the…
