Let $X$ be a genus $d$ curve with $d\geq 2$ defined over a global function field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$ with $p>2d+1$. Suppose $X$ non-isotrivial. Let $\Gamma$ be a sub-group of $J(K_s)$, where $J$ is the jacobian of $X$ and $K_s$ is a…
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…
We relate the Brauer group of a smooth variety over a p-adic field to the geometry of the special fibre of a regular model, using the purity theorem in \'etale cohomology. As an illustration, we describe how the Brauer group of a smooth del…
Let $k$ be a field, with absolute Galois group $\Gamma$. Let $A/k$ be a finite \'etale group scheme of multiplicative type, i.e. a discrete $\Gamma$-module. Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer, and let $x \in H^n(k,A)$ be a cohomology class. We…
Let X be a smooth compactification of a connected linear algebraic group over a field k. The Chow group of degree nought zero-cycles on X is a torsion group. When k is a p-adic field, we show that the prime-to-p component of this group is…

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…
Olsson showed in [Ols25] that if $\mathcal{X} \to X$ is a $\mathbf{G}_m$-gerbe over a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ such that the Brauer class of $\mathcal{X}$ has order prime to the characteristic of $k$,…
Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth projective geometrically integral curve over a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Following the works of Harari, Scheiderer, Szamuely, Izquierdo, and Tian, we study the local-global and weak…
This is a thoroughly revised version of math.AG/0502516v1 (24 Feb. 2005). Let k be a field of characteristic zero. Let Y=G/H, where G is a connected linear algebraic group over k and H is a connected closed k-subgroup of G. Let X be a…
Let $X$ be a proper, smooth, and geometrically connected curve over a non-archimedean local field $K$. In this paper, we relate the component group of the N\'eron model of the Jacobian of $X$ to the Brauer group of $X$.
We study the cokernel of the application given by the Cartan Matrix $C_\Lambda$ of a finite dimensional $k$-algebra $\Lambda.$ This produces a finitely generated abelian group, the Cartan group $G_\Lambda,$ which is invariant under derived…
In a recent paper, Barot and Marsh presented an explicit construction of presentation of a finite Weyl group by any seed of corresponding cluster algebra, i.e. by any diagram mutation-equivalent to an orientation of a Dynkin diagram with…
In this article, we construct a natural group homomorphism $$ \psi: \text{Br}(f)\to H^{1}_{et}(S, f_{*}\mathcal{O}_{X}^{\times}/\mathcal{O}_{S}^{\times})$$ for a faithful affine map $f: X \to S$ of noetherian schemes. Here $\text{Br}(f)$…
We extend the Brauer-Siegel theorem to new families of number fields, both in the classical setting of asymptotically bad families and in the more general framework due to Tsfasman and Vl\u{a}du\c{t} of asymptotically exact families. We…

Toric varieties are a special class of rational varieties defined by equations of the form {\it monomial = monomial}. For a good brief survey of the history and role of toric varieties see [10]. Any toric variety $X$ contains a cover by…
Let $X$ be a normal proper variety over a perfect field $k$. We describe abelian coverings of X in terms of the functor $\underline{\rm HDiv}_X$ of principal relative Cartier divisors on $X$. If the base field $k$ is finite, the geometric…
A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'{e}l\`{e}ne predicts that for a smooth projective variety $X$ over a finite extension $k$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ the kernel of the Albanese map $\text{CH}_0(X)^{\text{deg}=0}\to Alb_X(k)$ is the direct sum of a…
