Let M be a smooth manifold, A a local algebra in sense of Andr\'e Weil, M^{A} the manifold of near points on M of kind A and X(M^{A}) the module of vector fields on M^{A}. We give a new definition of vector fields on M^{A} and we show that…

The purpose of this paper is to study deformation theory of Hom-associative algebra morphisms and Hom-Lie algebra morphisms. We introduce a suitable cohomology and discuss Infinitesimal deformations, equivalent deformations and…

This is a review article based on a mini-course comprised of four talks given by the author at Berkeley.

These are the notes of my lectures at the 1996 European Congress of Mathematicians. {} Polynomials appear in mathematics frequently, and we all know from experience that low degree polynomials are easier to deal with than high degree ones.…

In this note we show that any basic abelian variety with additional structures over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ is isogenous to another one defined over a finite field. We also show that the category of…

We study the distribution of integral points on log varieties.

We study the moduli space of a product of stable varieties over the field of complex numbers, as defined via the minimal model program. Our main results are: (a) taking products gives a well-defined morphism from the product of moduli…

The moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties with real structure and with level $N=4m$ structure (with $m \ge 1$) is shown to coincide with the set of real points of a quasi-projective algebraic variety defined over $\mathbb…

This article contains the notes of a graduate course on birational geometry focusing on the minimal model program. Topics covered include singularities, vanishing, nonvanishing, cone and contraction, base point freeness, finite generation,…

Eilenberg's variety theorem, a centerpiece of algebraic automata theory, establishes a bijective correspondence between varieties of languages and pseudovarieties of monoids. In the present paper this result is generalized to an abstract…

We study the subvariety of integrable 1-forms in a finite dimensional vector space $W \subset \Omega^1(\mathbb C^n,0)$. We prove that the irreducible components with dimension comparable with the rank of $W$ are of minimal degree.

This work contains a set of lectures on defect structures, mainly in models described by scalar fields in diverse dimensions.

This chapter describes interrelations between: (1) algebraic structure on sets of scalars, (2) properties of monads associated with such sets of scalars, and (3) structure in categories (esp. Lawvere theories) associated with these monads.…

Part I introduced diptych varieties $V_{ABLM}$ and gave a rigorous construction of them in the case $d,e\ge 2$ and $de>4$. Here we prove the existence of $V_{ABLM}$ in all the cases with $de\le4$. At the same time we construct some classes…

Notes from a talk at the April 2011 ICMS (Edinburgh) conference on the recent solution of the Kervaire invariant problem. This is an entirely expository account, emphasizing connections with the theory of topological automorphic forms.

We study and relate categories of modules, comodules and contramodules over a representation of a small category taking values in (co)algebras, in a manner similar to modules over a ringed space. As a result, we obtain a categorical…

A complete list of Uq(sl2)-module algebra structures on the quantum plane is produced and the (uncountable family of) isomorphism classes of these structures are described. The composition series of representations in question are computed.…

We begin a systematic study of unitary representations of minimal $W$-algebras. In particular, we classify unitary minimal $W$-algebras and make substantial progress in classification of their unitary irreducible highest weight modules. We…

Wedderburn's theorem on the structure of finite dimensional semisimple algebras is proved by using minimal prerequisites.
