We establish a Grothendieck--Lefschetz theorem for smooth ample subvarieties of smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and, more generally, for smooth subvarieties whose complement has small…

We introduce the notion of Q-filtrable varieties: projective varieties with a torus action and a finite number of fixed points, such that the cells of the associated Bialynicki-Birula decomposition are all rationally smooth. Our main…

Let F be a flat family of projective schemes, whose geometric generic fiber is reduced and irreducible. We give conditions on a special fiber (a "limit" of the family) to guarantee that it too is reduced. These conditions often imply also…

We present a description of the equivariant $K$-theory of a smooth projective spherical variety. This provides an integral $K$-theory version of Brion's calculation of equivariant Chow-cohomology of such varieties. We consider the…

Under an explicit positivity condition, we show the first secant variety of a linearly normal smooth variety is projectively normal, give results on the regularity of the ideal of the secant variety, and give conditions on the variety that…

We give an affirmative answer to a conjecture proposed by Tevelev in characteristic 0 case: any variety contains a sch\"on very affine open subvariety. Also we show that any fan supported on the tropicalization of a sch\"on very affine…

In this paper we show that the equivalences between certain properties of closed subanalytic sets proved by E. Bierstone and P. Milman in \cite{[BM-1]} hold for closed sets definable in quasianalytic o-minimal structures. In particular we…

We prove the following result: Let B be a smooth, irreducible, quasi-projective variety over the complex numbers and assume that B has a projective compactification \bar{B} such that \bar{B} - B is of codimension at least two in \bar{B}.…

We show that for a Frobenius split variety, there are only finitely many closed subvarieties which are compatibly-split.

In this paper we prove, using a refinement of Terracini's Lemma, a sharp lower bound for the degree of (higher) secant varieties to a given projective variety, which extends the well known lower bound for the degree of a variety in terms of…

In 2001, de Oliveira, Katzarkov, and Ramachandran conjectured that the property of smooth projective varieties having big fundamental groups is stable under small deformations. This conjecture was proven by Beno\^it Claudon in 2010 for…

We show that for a closed Riemannian manifold the quotient of the group of projective transformations by the group of isometries contains at most two elements unless the metric has constant positive sectional curvature or every projective…

An association scheme is called quasi-thin if the valency of each its basic relation is one or two. A quasi-thin scheme is Kleinian if the thin residue of it forms a Klein group with respect to the relation product. It is proved that any…

Let $M=V\setminus D$ be a smooth quasi-projective variety for some smooth projective variety $V$ and a divisor $D$ with normal crossings. Assume that $M$ is diffeomorphic to a non-compact nilmanifold $\Gamma\backslash N\times\mathbb{R}^m$.…

We prove, under some mild hypothesis, that an \'etale cover of curves defined over a number field has infinitely many specializations into an everywhere unramified extension of number fields. This constitutes an "absolute" version of the…

We show that the quasiequational theory of a relatively congruence modular quasivariety of left $R$-modules is determined by a two-sided ideal in $R$ together with a filter of left ideals. The two-sided ideal encodes the identities that…

We prove an important partial case of the pseudo-Riemannian version of the projective Lichnerowicz conjecture stating that a complete manifold admitting an essential group of projective transformations is the round sphere (up to a finite…

We define a certain class of simple varieties over a field $k$ by a constructive recipe and show how to control their (equivariant) truncating invariants. Consequently, we prove that on simple varieties: (i) if $k=\overline{k}$ and…

We expand our previously founded basic theory of equiresidual algebraic geometry over an arbitrary commutative field, to a well-behaved theory of (equiresidual) algebraic varieties over a commutative field, thanks to the generalisation of…

In this paper we prove that for any definable subset $X\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure, with $dim(X)<n$, there is a finite set of regular projections (in the sense of Mostowski ). We give also a weak…
