This is a quick survey on the characteristic varieties associated to rank one local systems on a smooth, irreducible, quasi-projective complex variety $M$. A key new result is Proposition 1.8, giving additional information on the…
Let $f \colon X \to A$ be a morphism from a smooth projective variety to an abelian variety (over the field of complex numbers). We show that the sheaves $f_* \omega_X^{\otimes m}$ become globally generated after pullback by an isogeny. We…
We prove the geometric Bombieri-Lang conjecture for projective varieties which have finite maps to abelian varieties over function fields of characteristic 0. This generalizes the recent results of Xie-Yuan, which require either the…
Here we prove the necessary analytic results to construct a Morse theory for the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional on the space of Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface. The main result is that the gradient flow with initial conditions…
In this article we study smooth families of stratified bundles in positive characteristic and the variation of their monodromy group.Our aim is, in particular, to strengthen the weak form of the positive equicharacteristic $p$-curvature…
We study the interaction between Fourier-Mukai transforms and perverse filtrations for a certain class of dualizable abelian fibrations. Multiplicativity of the perverse filtration and the "Perverse $\supset$ Chern" phenomenon for these…
Chevalley's theorem states that every smooth connected algebraic group over a perfect field is an extension of an abelian variety by a smooth connected affine group. That fails when the base field is not perfect. We define a pseudo-abelian…
We call a sheaf on an algebraic variety immaculate if it lacks any cohomology including the zero-th one, that is, if the derived version of the global section functor vanishes. Such sheaves are the basic tools when building exceptional…
We build on the recent techniques of Codogni and Patakfalvi, from \cite{Codogni:Patakfalvi:2021}, which were used to establish theorems about semi-positivity of the Chow Mumford line bundles for families of $\K$-semistable Fano varieties.…
Fix a smooth projective family of curves $C \to S$ and a split reductive group scheme $G$ over a Noetherian base scheme $S$. For any (possibly nonreduced) fixed relative Cartier divisor $D$, we provide a treatment of the moduli of…
We prove that if $K$ is a complete algebraically closed non-archimedian valuation field of positive characteristic and $f$ is an endomorphism of $\mathbb{P}_{K}^{N}$ which is totally inseparable and behaves as the Frobenius on the special…
Let E be a torsion-free sheaf on P2. We give an effective method which uses the Hilbert function of E to construct a weak version of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of a torsion-free sheaf on P2 subject only to the condition that E be…
Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…
We give a generalization, in the context of sheaves, of a classical result of Grothendieck concerning the integrability of connections of type $(0,1)$ over a ${\cal C}^{\infty}$ vector bundle over a complex manifold. We introduce the notion…
Let $R$ be an excellent Henselian discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field $k$ of any characteristic. Fix integers $r,d$ with $r\ge 2$. Let $X_R$ be a regular fibred surface over Spec($R$) with special fibre denoted…
We study a collection of stability conditions (in the sense of Schmitt) for complexes of sheaves over a smooth complex projective variety indexed by a positive rational parameter. We show that the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of a complex…
Let X be a smooth projective variety and let G be a connected reductive group, both defined over a field of characteristic 0. Given a faithful representation $\rho$ of G into a product of general linear groups, we define a moduli stack of…
An extension of Szemer\'edi's Theorem is proved for sets of positive density in approximate lattices in general locally compact and second countable abelian groups. As a consequence, we establish a recent conjecture of Klick, Strungaru and…
In this article we formulate and prove the main theorems of the theory of character sheaves on unipotent groups over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. In particular, we show that every admissible pair for such a group G…
We prove a version of the Manin-Mumford conjecture for semiabelian varieties over fields of positive characteristic. The proof presented here contains the details of the proof sketched by the author in the article "Diophantine geometry from…
