Let $G$ be a split semisimple linear algebraic group over a field and let $X$ be a generic twisted flag variety of $G$. Extending the Hilbert basis techniques to Laurent polynomials over integers we give an explicit presentation of the…

We show that the Eigenvariety attached to Hilbert modular forms over a totally real field $F$ is smooth at the points corresponding to certain classical weight one theta series and we give a precise criterion for etaleness over the weight…

A variety $X$ is covered by lines if there exist a finite number of lines contained in $X$ passing through each general point. I prove two theorems. Theorem 1:Let $X^n\subset P^M$ be a variety covered by lines. Then there are at most $n!$…

We introduce the notion of a cominuscule point in a Schubert variety in a generalized flag variety for a semisimple group. We derive formulas expressing the Hilbert series and multiplicity of a Schubert variety at a cominuscule point in…

We prove the following theorem: Fibered Power Theorem: Let $X\rar B$ be a smooth family of positive dimensional varieties of general type, with $B$ irreducible. Then there exists an integer $n>0$, a positive dimensional variety of general…

We prove that certain quiver varieties are irreducible and therefore are isomorphic to Hilbert schemes of points of the total spaces of the bundles $\mathcal O_{\mathbb P^1}(-n)$ for $n \ge 1$.

Let $k$ be a number field and $U$ a smooth integral $k$-variety. Let $X \to U$ be an abelian scheme. We consider the set $\mathcal{R}$ of rational points $m \in U(k)$ such that the Mordell-Weil rank of the fibre $U_{m}$ is strictly bigger…

Let $(X,B)$ be a complex projective klt pair, and let $f\colon X\to Z$ be a surjective morphism onto a normal projective variety with maximal albanese dimension such that $K_X+B$ is relatively big over $Z$. We show that such pairs have good…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group, $X$ a generically free $G$-variety, and $K=k(X)^G$. A field extension $L$ of $K$ is called a splitting field of $X$ if the image of the class of $X$ under the natural map $H^1(K, G) \mapsto H^1(L, G)$ is…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a finitely generated field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$. We proved that the finiteness of the $\ell$-primary part of $\mathrm{Br}(X_{K^s})^{G_K}$ for a single prime $\ell\neq p$ will imply the…

Let X be an irreducible symplectic variety defined over a number field K. Assume either that X has Picard number at least two or that X has even second Betti number. We prove that there exist a finite algebraic field extension L/K and a…

Let $\mathcal{X}\rightarrow C$ be a dominant morphism between smooth irreducible varieties over a finitely generated field $k$ such that the generic fiber $X$ is smooth, projective and geometrically connected. Assuming that $C$ is a curve…

Let $K$ be a field finitely generated over the field of rational numbers, $K(c)$ the extension of $K$ obtained by adjoining all roots of unity, $L$ an infinite Galois extension of $K$, $X$ an abelian variety defined over $K$. We prove that…

We prove, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, the Andre-Oort conjecture for Hilbert modular surfaces. More precisely, let K be a real quadratic field and let S be the coarse moduli space of complex abelian surfaces with…

Let G be a connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k, and let H be a connected closed subgroup of G. We prove that the homogeneous variety G/H is a rational variety over k whenever H is solvable, or when dim(G/H)…

Let A be a geometrically simple abelian variety over a number field k, let X be a subgroup of A(k) and let P be an element of A(k). We prove that if P belongs to X modulo almost all primes of k then P already belongs to X.

Given a field $k$ of characteristic zero and an indeterminate $T$, the main topic of the paper is the construction of specializations of any given finite extension of $k(T)$ of degree $n$ that are degree $n$ field extensions of $k$ with…

Using Hilbert schemes of points, we establish a number of results for a smooth projective variety $X$ in a sufficiently ample embedding. If $X$ is a curve or a surface, we show that the ideals of higher secant varieties are determinantally…

Let f(t,X) be an irreducible polynomial over the field of rational functions k(t), where k is a number field. Let O be the ring of integers of k. Hilbert's irreducibility theorem gives infinitely many integral specializations of t to values…

The central topic is this question: is a given $k$-\'etale algebra $\prod_lE_l/k$ the specialization of a given $k$-cover $f:X\rightarrow B$ at some point $t_0\in B(k)$? Our main tool is a {\it twisting lemma} that reduces the problem to…
