Applying E. Kowalski's recent generalization of the large sieve we prove that certain properties expected to be typical (irreducibility of the characteristic polynomial, absence of squares among the matrix coefficients...) are indeed…

In this article, we give a proof for a geometric presentation theorem for any irreducible scheme $X$ smooth projective over a discrete valuation ring $R$. As a consequence, for any reductive $R$-group scheme $\mathbf{G}$, we prove that any…

We develop a new method to solve the irreducible character problem for a wide class of modules over the general linear superalgebra, including all the finite-dimensional modules, by directly relating the problem to the classical…

In this article, we introduce the logarithmic de Rham stack of a pair (X, D), for a smooth variety X over a field k of positive characteristic p, and D a strict normal crossings divisor on X. Using this stack, we prove a new version of…

Irreducible skew-Berger algebras $\g\subset\gl(n,\Co)$, i.e. algebras spanned by the images of the linear maps $R:\odot^2\Co^n\to\g$ satisfying the Bianchi identity, are classified. These Lie algebras can be interpreted as irreducible…

We prove that lemniscates (i.e., sets of the form $|P(z)|=1$ where $P$ is a complex polynomial) are irreducible real algebraic curves.

We prove the multiplicity one case of Lusztig's conjecture on the irreducible characters of reductive algebraic groups for all fields with characteristic above the Coxeter number.

We study the irreducible components of special loci of curves whose group of symmetries is given as certain group extension. We introduce some relative Hurwitz data, which we show by using mixed \'etale cohomology theory, identifies some…

An edge $e$ of a matching covered graph $G$ is removable if $G-e$ is also matching covered. Carvalho, Lucchesi, and Murty showed that every brick $G$ different from $K_4$ and $\overline{C_6}$ has at least $\Delta-2$ removable edges, where…

We construct an algebraic-cycle based model for the motivic cohomology on the category of schemes of finite type over a field, where schemes may admit arbitrary singularities and may be non-reduced. We show that our theory is functorial on…

If $V$ is a smooth projective variety defined over a local field $K$ with finite residue field, so that its \'etale cohomology over the algebraic closure $\bar{K}$ is supported in codimension 1, then the mod $p$ reduction of a projective…

We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…

The Skolem-Mahler-Lech theorem states that if $f(n)$ is a sequence given by a linear recurrence over a field of characteristic 0,then the set of $m$ such that $f(m)$ is equal to 0 is the union of a finite number of arithmetic progressions…

We construct the $\mathbb{A}^1$-local stable motivic homotopy categories of fs log schemes. For schemes with the trivial log structure, our construction is equivalent to the original construction of Morel-Voevodsky. We prove the…

We extend Kolchin's results on linear dependence over projective varieties in the constants, to linear dependence over arbitrary complete differential varieties. We show that in this more general setting, the notion of linear dependence…

We study the zero-sharing behavior among irreducible characters of a finite group. For symmetric groups $S_n$, it is proved that, with one exception, any two irreducible characters have at least one common zero. To further explore this…

We study "pure-cycle" Hurwitz spaces, parametrizing covers of the projective line having only one ramified point over each branch point. We start with the case of genus-0 covers, using a combination of limit linear series theory and group…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\rm{Irr}(G)$ be the set of all irreducible complex characters of $G$. For a character $\chi \in \rm{Irr}(G)$, the number $\rm{cod}(\chi):=|G:\rm{ker}\chi|/\chi(1)$ is called the co-degree of $\chi$. The…

This paper concerns matrix decompositions in which the factors are restricted to lie in a closed subvariety of a matrix group. Such decompositions are of relevance in control theory: given a target matrix in the group, can it be decomposed…

Let $X$ be an integral affine or projective scheme of finite presentation over a perfect field. We prove that $X$ admits a resolution, that is, there exists a smooth scheme $\widetilde X$ and a projective birational morphism from…
