We construct (in significant generality) moduli spaces representing the functor of morphisms from a scheme into a solvable algebraic group.

Let $K$ be a field and $f:\mathbb{P}^N \to \mathbb{P}^N$ a morphism. There is a natural conjugation action on the space of such morphisms by elements of the projective linear group $\text{PGL}_{N+1}$. The group of automorphisms, or…

We describe the exact G-module F* for any cyclic extension F/K of locals fields of characteristic zero, where G is the Galois group of F/K. We also describe a parametrized space Wa,b,m,n which is most often a direct factor in F*.

This paper aims at developing model-theoretic tools to study interpretable fields and definably amenable groups, mainly in $\mathrm{NIP}$ or $\mathrm{NTP_2}$ settings. An abstract theorem constructing definable group homomorphisms from…

We show that there is a logarithmic algebraic space parameterizing logarithmic morphisms between fixed logarithmic schemes when those logarithmic schemes satisfy natural hypotheses. As a corollary, we obtain the algebraicity of the stack of…

The Gorenstein property in local algebra admits several characterizations via its module category. The goal of this paper is to collect and generalize such characterizations to the relative setting, i.e., to Gorenstein morphisms as defined…

Usually bundle gerbes are considered as objects of a 2-groupoid, whose 1-morphisms, called stable isomorphisms, are all invertible. I introduce new 1-morphisms which include stable isomorphisms, trivializations and bundle gerbe modules.…

Morphisms, structure preserving maps, are everywhere in Mathematics as useful tools for thinking and problem solving, or as objects to study. Here, we argue that the idea of operations being compatible across two domains goes beyond its…

We introduce and study a natural class of fields in which certain first-order definable sets are existentially definable, and characterise this class by a number of equivalent conditions. We show that global fields belong to this class, and…

As a consequence of the Riemann-Roch theorem, a closed Riemann surface $S$ can be described by a non-singular complex projective algebraic curve $C$. A field of definition for $S$ is any subfield $D$ of $\mathbb{C}$ so that we may choose…

We continue the examination of the stable reduction and fields of moduli of G-Galois covers of the projective line over a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic (0, p), where G has a cyclic p-Sylow subgroup P of order…

We introduce the notion of a neutral representation of a finite group, or finite group scheme, $G$; a representation $V$ with the property that if a gerbe $\mathcal{G}$ over a field $k$ that is a form of the classifying stack $\mathcal{B}…

We introduce dessins d'enfants from the various existing points of view: As topological covering spaces, as surfaces with triangulations, and as algebraic curves with functions ramified over three points. We prove Belyi's theorem that such…

Let $G,H$ be groups, $\phi: G \rightarrow H$ a group morphism, and $A$ a $G$-graded algebra. The morphism $\phi$ induces an $H$-grading on $A$, and on any $G$-graded $A$-module, which thus becomes an $H$-graded $A$-module. Given an…

We use explicit class field theory of rational function fields to prove a dynamical criterion for a polynomial of the form $x^{p^r}+ax+b$ over a field of characteristic $p$ to have dynamical Galois group as large as possible. When $p=2$ and…

We prove an analogue of the Madsen-Weiss theorem for high dimensional manifolds. For example, we explicitly describe the ring of characteristic classes of smooth fibre bundles whose fibres are connected sums of g copies of S^n x S^n, in the…

It is a classical fact going back to F. Klein that an elliptic curve $E$ over $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ is defined by a homogeneous polynomial in $3$ variables with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}(j_{E})$, where $j_{E}$ is the $j$-invariant of $E$,…

The Modular Isomorphism Problem asks, if an isomorphism between modular group algebras of finite $p$-groups over a field $F$ implies an isomorphism of the group bases. We explore the differences of knowledge on the problem when $F$ is…

To every covering of curves, we associate several varieties having the same field of moduli and same fields of definition. We deduce examples of curves having Q (the field of rationals) as field of moduli, that admit models over any…

The well-known geometric approach to field theory is based on description of classical fields as sections of fibred manifolds, e.g. bundles with a structure group in gauge theory. In this approach, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms…
