We prove a version of the classical 'generic smoothness' theorem with smooth varieties replaced by non-commutative resolutions of singular varieties. This in particular implies a non-commutative version of the Bertini theorem.

We prove a semiample generalization of Poonen's Bertini Theorem over a finite field that implies the existence of smooth sections for wide new classes of divisors. The probability of smoothness is computed as a product of local…

Given a base point free linear system on an algebraic variety, many classes of singularities are stable under taking suitable members after enlarging the base field. We establish analogous results when the base ring is an excellent ring.

We study the question of finding smooth hyperplane sections to a pencil of hypersurfaces over finite fields.

Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible projective variety of dimension at least 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 in the projective space ${\mathbb{P}}^n$. Bertini's Theorem states that a general hyperplane $H$ intersects…

We prove Bertini type theorems and give some applications of them. The applications are in the context of Lefschetz theorem for Nori fundamental group for normal varieties as well as for geometric formal orbifolds. In another application,…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over a finite field. We show that any algebraic $1$-cycle on $X$ is rationally equivalent to a smooth $1$-cycle, which is a $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination of smooth curves on $X$. We also…

We first study hyperplane sections of some singular schemes over a field. We prove a Bertini theorem for the log smoothness of generic hyperplane sections of a large class of log smooth schemes over a log point. We also give an abstract…

We use the "closed point sieve" to prove a variant of a Bertini theorem over finite fields. Specifically, given a smooth quasi-projective subscheme X of P^n of dimension m over F_q, and a closed subscheme Z in P^n such that Z intersect X is…

The simplest version of Bertini's irreducibility theorem states that the generic fiber of a non-composite polynomial function is an irreducible hypersurface. The main result of this paper is its analog for a free algebra: if $f$ is a…

After reviewing Bertini's life story, a fascinating drama, we make a critical examination of the old statements and proofs of Bertini's two fundamental theorems, the theorem on variable singular points and the theorem on reducible linear…

We show the existence of a hypersurface that contains a given closed subscheme of a projective space over a finite field and intersects a smooth quasi-projective scheme smoothly, under some condition on the dimension. This generalizes a…

Looking in positive characteristic for failures of the Bertini-Sard theorem, we determine, up to birational equivalence, the separable proper morphisms of smooth algebraic varieties in characteristic two, whose fibres are non-smooth curves…

We give a "soft" proof of Alberti's Luzin-type theorem in [1] (G. Alberti, A Lusintype theorem for gradients, J. Funct. Anal. 100 (1991)), using elementary geometric measure theory and topology. Applications to the $C^2$-rectifiability…

Let X be a smooth quasiprojective subscheme of P^n of dimension m >= 0 over F_q. Then there exist homogeneous polynomials f over F_q for which the intersection of X and the hypersurface f=0 is smooth. In fact, the set of such f has a…

Fix a variety X with a transitive (left) action by an algebraic group G. Let E and F be coherent sheaves on X. We prove that, for elements g in a dense open subset of G, the sheaf Tor_i^X(E, g F) vanishes for all i > 0. When E and F are…
