Generalizing the main result of [Aparicio-Monforte A., Compoint E., Weil J.-A., J. Pure Appl. Algebra 217 (2013), 1504-1516], we prove that a linear differential system is in reduced form in the sense of Kolchin and Kovacic if and only if…
The study of arboreal Galois representations (that is, Galois groups arising from iteration of polynomial and rational functions) originated with work of Odoni in the 1980s. Beginning in the early 2000s it underwent a period of renewed…
We study flips of moduli schemes of stable torsion free sheaves as wall-crossing phenomena of moduli schemes of stable modules over certain finite dimensional algebra. They are described as stratified Grassmann bundles.
This work is a collection of old and new aplications of Galois cohomology to the clasification of algebraic and arithmetical objects.
These notes are an exposition of Galois Theory from the original Lagrangian and Galoisian point of view. A particular effort was made here to better understand the connection between Lagrange's purely combinatorial approach and Galois…
A classical result of Cherbonnier and Colmez says that all \'etale $(\varphi, \Gamma)$-modules are overconvergent. In this paper, we give another proof of this fact when the base field $K$ is a finite extension of $\mathbb Q_p$.…
This is a set of expository lecture notes created originally for a graduate course on holomorphic curves taught at ETH Zurich and the Humboldt University Berlin in 2009/2010. The notes are still incomplete, but due to recent requests from…
These are the notes for the lecture given by the author at the "Current Events" Special Session of the AMS meeting in Baltimore on January 17, 2003. Topics reviewed include the Langlands correspondence for GL(n) in the function field case…
In this paper we introduce an inductive method to study $\mathrm{OI}$-modules presented in finite degrees, where $\mathrm{OI}$ is a skeleton of the category of finitely totally ordered sets and strictly increasing maps. As an application,…
Let S be a standard N^r-graded algebra over a local ring A, and let M be a finitely generated Z^r-graded S-module. We characterize the Cohen-Macaulayness of M in terms of the vanishing of certain sheaf cohomology modules. As a consequence,…
Multiple experiments have observed a sharp transition in the band structure of LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ (001) interfaces as a function of applied gate voltage. This Lifshitz transition, between a single occupied band at low electron density and…
The purpose of this paper is to explain the proofs of the results announced by Nick Katz in 1977, namely a description of ``Galois measures for Tate modules of height two formal groups over the ring of integers of a finite unramified…
We propose a candidate, which we call the fractional Galois ideal after Snaith's fractional ideal, for replacing the classical Stickelberger ideal associated to an abelian extension of number fields. The Stickelberger ideal can be seen as…
One of the main themes of this long article is the study of projective varieties which are K(H,1)'s, i.e. classifying spaces BH for some discrete group H. After recalling the basic properties of such classifying spaces, an important class…
Galois orders, introduced in 2010 by V. Futorny and S. Ovsienko, form a class of associative algebras that contain many important examples, such as the enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ (as well as its quantum deformation),…
Using Galois-Stiefel-Whitney classes of theta characteristics we show that over a totally real base field the moduli stack of smooth genus $g$ curves and the moduli stack of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g$ have…
These are the notes for an undergraduate course at the University of Edinburgh, 2021-2023. Assuming basic knowledge of ring theory, group theory and linear algebra, the notes lay out the theory of field extensions and their Galois groups,…
We present a pedagogical approach to the Lorentz group. We start by introducing a compact notation to express the elements of the fundamental representation of the rotations group.Lorentz coordinate transformations are derived in a novel…
We consider some examples of superintegrable system which were recently isolated through a differential Galois group analysis. The identity of these systems is clarified and the corresponding Poisson algebras derived.
We construct a smooth algebraic stack of tuples consisting of genus two nodal curves, simple effective divisors away from the nodes, and twisted fields. It provides a desingularization of the moduli of genus two stable maps to projective…
