Let (K,v) be a valued field, Y a K-variety, G an algebraic group over K (not necessarily smooth), and f: X->Y a G-torsor over Y. We consider the induced map X(K)-->Y(K), which is continuous for the topologies deduced from the valuation. Let…
The Griffiths group $\Gr^r(X)$ of a smooth projective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field is defined to be the group of homologically trivial algebraic cycles of codimension $r$ on $X$ modulo the subgroup of algebraically trivial…

Let $V$ be a left vector space over a division ring and let ${\mathcal P}(V)$ be the associated projective space. We describe all finite subsets $X\subset V$ such that every permutation on $X$ can be extended to a linear automorphism of $V$…
In this paper we show that evolution algebras over any given field $\Bbbk$ are universally finite. In other words, given any finite group $G$, there exist infinitely many regular evolution algebras $X$ such that $Aut(X)\cong G$. The proof…
Let $X$ be a normal, connected and projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$. It is known that a vector bundle $V$ on $X$ is essentially finite if and only if it is trivialized by a proper surjective morphism $f:Y\to X$. In…
For a homomorphism f: A --> B of commutative rings, let D(A,B) denote Ker[Pic(A) --> Pic(B)]. Let k be a field and assume that A is a f.g. k-algebra. We prove a number of finiteness results for D(A,B). Here are four of them. 1: Suppose B is…
We interpret Galois covers in terms of particular monoidal functors, extending the correspondence between torsors and fiber functors. As applications we characterize tame $G$-covers between normal varieties for finite and \'etale group…
We prove a case of the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture: let $R$ be a Noetherian semilocal flat algebra over a Dedekind domain such that all fibers of $R$ are geometrically regular; let $G$ be a simply-connected reductive $R$-group scheme…
Let $F$ be a global field. Let $G$ be a non trivial finite \'etale tame $F$-group scheme. We define height functions on the set of $G$-torsors over $F,$ which generalize the usual heights such as discriminant. As an analogue of the Malle…
Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristics $(0,p)$, with finite residue field $k$ and fraction field $K$, let $k'$ be a finite extension of $k$, and let $X$ be a regular, proper and flat $R$-scheme, with generic fibre…
We prove that, if F is a coherent sheaf of modules over the source of a morphism f:X->Y of complex-analytic spaces, where Y is smooth, then the stalk of F at a point x in X is flat over R, the local ring of the target at f(x) if and only if…
Given an elliptic curve $E$ over a perfect defectless henselian valued field $(F,\mathrm{val})$ with perfect residue field $\textbf{k}_F$ and valuation ring $\mathcal{O}_F$, there exists an integral separated smooth group scheme…
Given a Noetherian formal scheme $\hat X$ over ${\rm Spf}(R)$, where $R$ is a complete DVR, we first prove a theorem of meromorphic descent along a possibly infinite cover of $\hat{X}$. Using this we construct a specialization functor from…
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…
In this paper, for any Shimura datum $(G,\mathcal{D})$ satisfying reasonable conditions so that many interesting cases satisfy, we prove some finiteness theorems for any graded vector space consisting of automorphic forms on $\mathcal{D}$…
In this note we study the geometry of torsors under flat and finite commutative group schemes of rank p above curves in characteristic p and above relative curves over a complete discrete valuation ring of inequal characteristics. In bothe…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective connected curve of genus $g\ge 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Let $G$ be a finite group, $P$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $N_G(P)$ its normalizer in $G$. We show…
Let $K$ be a number field. We present several new finiteness results for isomorphism classes of abelian varieties over $K$ whose $\ell$-power torsion fields are arithmetically constrained for some rational prime $\ell$. Such arithmetic…
We study several structure aspects of functor categories from a small additive category to a module category, in particular the category F(A,K) of functors from finitely generated free modules over a commutative ring A to vector spaces over…
