Let $S$ be a smooth minimal surface of general type with a (rational) pencil of hyperelliptic curves of minimal genus $g$. We prove that if $K_S^2<4\chi(\mathcal O_S)-6,$ then $g$ is bounded. The surface $S$ is determined by the branch…

We extend the results of Deligne and Illusie on liftings modulo $p^2$ and decompositions of the de Rham complex in several ways. We show that for a smooth scheme $X$ over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, the truncations of the…

We show that a plt surface singularity $(P\in X,B)$ is $F$-liftable if and only if it is $F$-pure and is not a rational double point of type $E_8^1$ in characteristic $p=5$. As a consequence, we prove the logarithmic extension theorem for…

Let $X$ be a (projective, geometrically irreducible, nonsingular) algebraic curve of genus $g \ge 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of odd characteristic $p$. Let $Aut(X)$ be the group of all automorphisms of $X$ which fix…

Given a finite set of points $\Gamma$ in $\mathbb P^{k-1}$ not all contained in a hyperplane, the "fitting problem" asks what is the maximum number $hyp(\Gamma)$ of these points that can fit in some hyperplane and what is (are) the…

In this article, we continue the study of the problem of $L^p$-boundedness of the maximal operator $M$ associated to averages along isotropic dilates of a given, smooth hypersurface $S$ of finite type in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. An…

Let $p$ be a prime integer, $1\leq s\leq r$ integers, $F$ a field of characteristic $p$. Let $\cat{Dec}_{p^r}$ denote the class of the tensor product of $r$ $p$-symbols and $\cat{Alg}_{p^r,p^s}$ denote the class of central simple algebras…

We sharpen and generalize the dimension growth bounds for the number of points of bounded height lying on an irreducible algebraic variety of degree $d$, over any global field. In particular, we focus on the affine hypersurface situation by…

We give an upper-bound for the $X$-rank of points with respect to a non-degenerate irreducible variety $X$ in the case that sub-generic $X$-rank points generate a hypersurface. We give examples where this bound is sharp and it improves the…

In this paper, we study the Hecke eigenvalues of Ikeda lifts. Using the spherical map for the Hecke algebra of the symplectic group, we obtain an explicit formula for the eigenvalues $\lambda_F(p^r)$. From this formula, we show that…

We classify pointed $p^3$-dimensional Hopf algebras $H$ over any algebraically closed field $k$ of prime characteristic $p>0$. In particular, we focus on the cases when the group $G(H)$ of group-like elements is of order $p$ or $p^2$, that…

Given topological spaces X and Y, a fundamental problem of algebraic topology is understanding the structure of all continuous maps X -> Y . We consider a computational version, where X, Y are given as finite simplicial complexes, and the…

Let $Y\to X$ be a finite normal cover of a wedge of $n\geq 3$ circles. We prove that for any $v\neq 0\in H_1(Y;\mathbb{Q})$ there exists a lift $\widetilde{F}$ to $Y$ of a homotopy equivalence $F:X\to X$ so that the set of iterates…

In the Hilbert scheme of points on a scheme X there is an open subset parameterizing distinct points. The closure of that open set is by definition the good component. When X is flat over the base, we show that a certain blow-up of the…

Let A be an excellent integral henselian local noetherian ring, k its residue field of characteristic p>0 and K its fraction field. Using an algebraization technique introduced by the first named author, and the one-dimension case already…

In this article, we prove the existence of solutions to a nonlinear nonlocal elliptic problem with a singualrity and a discontinuous critical nonlinearity which is given as follows. \begin{align} \begin{split}\label{main_prob}…

Let $S$ be a surface with $p_g(S)=q(S)=0$ and endowed with a very ample line bundle $\mathcal O_S(h)$ such that $h^1\big(S,\mathcal O_S(h)\big)=0$. We show that $S$ supports special (often stable) Ulrich bundles of rank $2$, extending a…

Let F be a function field of one variable over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, X a geometrically irreducible smooth projective variety over F, and L a line bundle on X. In this note, we will prove that if the…

We introduce a new obstruction to lifting smooth proper varieties in characteristic $p>0$ to characteristic $0$. It is based on Grothendieck's specialization homomorphism and the resulting discrete finiteness properties of \'etale…
