We address questions posed by G\'erard Laumon and Jean-Loup Waldspurger concerning the cohomological purity of affine Springer fibers. More precisely, we show that an affine Springer fiber is cohomologically pure if and only if its…

We study the locus of smooth hypersurfaces inside the Hilbert scheme of a smooth projective complex variety. In the spirit of scanning, we construct a map to a continuous section space of a projective bundle, and show that it induces an…

We extend Deligne's weight filtration to the integer cohomology of complex analytic spaces (endowed with an equivalence class of compactifications). In general, the weight filtration that we obtain is not part of a mixed Hodge structure.…

In this paper, we establish the sheafified version of the cohomological integrality conjecture for stacks obtained as a quotient of a smooth affine symmetric algebraic variety by a reductive algebraic group equipped with an invariant…

We consider a smooth Euclidean solid cone endowed with a smooth homogeneous density function used to weight Euclidean volume and hypersurface area. By assuming convexity of the cone and a curvature-dimension condition we prove that the…

The Ricci curvature equations are a central subject of study in geometry. However, in the smooth real case, their linear analysis is often confined to settings in which the background metric is Einstein. In this paper, we establish…

For complex parallelisable manifolds $\Gamma\backslash G$, with $G$ a solvable or semisimple complex Lie group, the Fr\"olicher spectral sequence degenerates at the second page. In the solvable case, the de-Rham cohomology carries a pure…

Given a compact smooth manifold $M$ with non-empty boundary and a Morse function, a pseudo-gradient Morse-Smale vector field adapted to the boundary allows one to build a Morse complex whose homology is isomorphic to the (absolute or…

The goal of this paper is to show that the cohomology of compact unitary Shimura varieties is concentrated in the middle degree and torsion-free, after localizing at a maximal ideal of the Hecke algebra satisfying a suitable genericity…

We introduce the notion of (homological) G-smoothness for a complex G-variety X, where G is a connected affine algebraic group. This is based on the notion of smoothness for dg algebras and uses a suitable enhancement of the G-equivariant…

We study the Hodge filtration on the local cohomology sheaves of a smooth complex algebraic variety along a closed subscheme Z in terms of log resolutions, and derive applications regarding the local cohomological dimension, the Du Bois…

We treat the boundary problem for complex varieties with isolated singularities, of complex dimension greater than or equal to 3, non necessarily compact, which are contained in strongly convex, open subsets of a complex Hilbert space H. We…

Let X be a complex projective variety of dimension n with only isolated normal singularities. In this paper we prove, using mixed Hodge theory, that if the link of each singular point of X is (n-2)-connected, then X is a formal topological…

Let X be the base locus of a linear system W of k quadrics. Let also S be the intersection of W with the discriminant hypersurface in the space of all homogeneous polynomials of degree two. We prove a formula relating the topology of X with…

Conjugation spaces relate the cohomology of a space and its fixed points via a degree-halving isomorphism and admit a characterization in terms of homological purity. We extend this framework to the Klein four group, where the corresponding…

We give a short new computation of the quantum cohomology of an arbitrary smooth toric variety $X$, by showing directly that the Kodaira-Spencer map of Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono defines an isomorphism onto a suitable Jacobian ring. The proof is…

For a reduced pure dimensional complex space $X$, we show that if Barlet's recently introduced sheaf $\alpha_X^1$ of holomorphic $1$-forms or the sheaf of germs of weakly holomorphic $1$-forms is locally free, then $X$ is smooth. Moreover,…

Let A be a symmetric monoidal closed exact category. This category is a natural framework to define the notions of purity and flatness. We show that an object F in A is flat if and only if any conflation ending in F is pure. Furthermore, we…

We show that a complex normal surface singularity admitting a contracting automorphism is necessarily quasihomogeneous. We also describe the geometry of a compact complex surface arising as the orbit space of such a contracting…

Consider a smooth affine algebraic variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field, and let a finite group $G$ act on it. We assume that the characteristic of the field is greater than the dimension of $X$ and the order of $G$. An explicit…
