Let X = G/P be a cominuscule rational homogeneous variety. (Equivalently, X admits the structure of a compact Hermitian symmetric space.) I give a uniform description (that is, independent of type) of the irreducible components of the…

A finite group G is exceptional if it has a quotient Q whose minimal faithful permutation degree is greater than that of G. We say that Q is a distinguished quotient. The smallest examples of exceptional p-groups have order p^5. For an odd…

We prove modularity of certain residually reducible ordinary 2-dimensional $p$-adic Galois representations with determinant a finite order odd character $\chi$. For certain non-quadratic $\chi$ we prove an $R=T$ result for $T$ the weight 1…

The question of whether a noncommutative graded quotient singularity $A^G$ is isolated depends on a subtle invariant of the $G$-action on $A$, called the pertinency. We prove a partial dichotomy theorem for isolatedness, which applies to a…

Let $C$ be a curve defined over a number field $k$. We say a closed point $x\in C$ of degree $d$ is isolated if it does not belong to an infinite family of degree $d$ points parametrized by the projective line or a positive rank abelian…

We classify one-dimensional restricted central extensions of the modular Witt Lie algebra in characteristic $p>3$.

Let p be prime. We describe explicitly the resolution of singularities of several families of wild Z/pZ-quotient singularities in dimension two, including families that generalize the quotient singularities of type E_6, E_7, and E_8 from…

In this article, we classify invariants and conjugacy classes of triangular polynomial maps. We make these classifications in dimension 2 over domains containing $\Q$, dimension 2 over fields of characteristic $p$, and dimension 3 over…

In (Arnold, 1985), V.I. Arnold has obtained normal forms and has developed a classifier for, in particular, all isolated hypersurface singularities over the complex numbers up to modality 2. Building on a series of 105 theorems, this…

Let $G$ be a finite group of Lie type defined in characteristic $p$, and let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $r>0$. We will assume that $r \neq p$ (so, we are in the non-defining characteristic case). Let $V$ be a…

We classify combinations of isolated singularities that can occur on complex cubic threefolds generalizing analogous results for cubic surfaces due to Schl\"{a}fli and Bruce--Wall. In addition, we provide concise combinatorial description…

In this note, we prove that for any finite dimensional vector space $V$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, and for any finite subgroup $G$ of $GL(V)$ which is either solvable or is generated by pseudo reflections such that the $|G|$ is…

In the recent paper "Mutation in triangulated categories and rigid Cohen-Macaulay modules" Iyama and Yoshino consider two interesting examples of isolated singularities over which it is possible to classify the indecomposable maximal…

Let C be a supersingular genus-2 curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 3. We show that if C is not isomorphic to the curve y^2 = x^5 + 1 then up to isomorphism there are exactly 20 degree-3 maps phi from C to the…

The purpose of this paper is to construct a crepant resolution of quotient singularities by finite subgroups of SL(3,C) of monomial type, and prove that the Euler number of the resolution is equal to the number of conjugacy classes. This…

In the paper, three-dimensional Nijenhuis operators are studied that have differential singularities, i.e., such points at which the coefficients of the characteristic polynomials are dependent. The case is studied in which the…

This paper is a detailed study of a class of isolated Gorenstein threefold singularities, called hyperconifolds, that are finite quotients of the conifold. First, it is shown that hyperconifold singularities arise naturally in limits of…

A singularity in characteristic zero is said to be of dense F-pure type if its modulo p reduction is locally F-split for infinitely many p. We prove that if $x \in X$ is an isolated log canonical singularity with $\mu(x \in X) \le 2$ (see…

It is one of the wonderful ``coincidences'' of the theory of finite groups that the simple group G of order 25920 arises as both a symplectic group in characteristic 3 and a unitary group in characteristic 2. These two realizations of G…

Let G be the simple, simply connected algebraic group SL_3 defined over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p>0. In this paper, we find H^2(G,V) for any irreducible G-module V. When p>7 we also find H^2(G(q),V) for any…
