Let p be a fibration of simply connected CW complexes with finite base B and fibre F. Let aut_1(p) denote the identity component of the space of all fibre-homotopy self-equivalences of p and Baut_1(p) the classifying space for this…

In this paper we show that if two central simple $k$-algebras generate the same cyclic subgroup in $\mathrm{Br}(k)$, then there are rational maps between varieties associated to these algebras, such as Brauer--Severi varieties, norm…

Let $R\subseteq \Bbb Q$ be a subring of the rationals and let $p$ be the least prime (if none, $p=\infty $) which is not invertible in $R.$ For an $R$-local $r$-connected $CW$-complex $X$ of dimension $\leq \min(r+2p-3,rp-1), r\geq 1, $ a…

Let $G$ be a semi-simple algebraic group over a perfect field $k$. A lot of progress has been made recently in computing the Chow motives of projective $G$-homogenous varieties. When $k$ has positive characteristic, a broader class of…

In this article we construct three explicit natural subgroups of the Brauer-Picard group of the category of representations of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra. In examples the Brauer Picard group decomposes into an ordered product of…

We study finite $p$-subgroups of birational automorphism groups. By virtue of boundedness theorem of Fano varieties, we prove that there exists a constant $R(n)$ such that a rationally connected variety of dimension $n$ over an…

We construct a finite subgroup of Brauer-Manin obstruction for detecting the existence of integral points on integral models of homogeneous spaces of linear algebraic groups of multiplicative type. As application, the strong approximation…

Let $k$ be a number field, let $X$ be a Kummer variety over $k$, and let $\delta$ be an odd integer. In the spirit of a result by Yongqi Liang, we relate the arithmetic of rational points over finite extensions of $k$ to that of zero-cycles…

In this article we explicitly determine the structure of the Weierstrass semigroups $H(P)$ for any point $P$ of the Giulietti-Korchm\'aros curve $\mathcal{X}$. We show that as the point varies, exactly three possibilities arise: One for the…

We develop an obstruction theory for the existence of gauge equivalences in complete differential graded Lie algebras. Specifically, this theory provides a characterization of homotopy equivalences between differential graded algebras…

As in our previous work [1] we address the problem to determine the splitting of the normal bundle of rational curves. With apolarity theory we are able to characterize some particular subvarieties in some Hilbert scheme of rational curves,…

For a smooth proper variety over a $p$-adic field, the Brauer group and abelian fundamental group are related to the higher Chow groups by the Brauer-Manin pairing and the class field theory. We generalize this relation to smooth (possibly…

In this note we introduce the concept of reflective projective varieties. These are stratified projective varieties with certain dimension constraints on their dual varieties. We prove that for such varieties, the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson…

We generalize a recent result of Pavic--Schreieder regarding the surjectivity of the obstruction morphism defined in [PS23]. As a consequence of this result, we show that geometrically (retract) rational varieties over a Laurent field of…

The Serre conjecture II predicts that every torsor under a semisimple, simply connected, algebraic group over a field of cohomological dimension at most 2 and of degree of imperfection at most 1 has a rational point. We generalize this…

By studying periodic points for rational maps on $\bm{C}^d$ with $p$ invariants, we show that they form an invariant variety of dimension $p$ if the periodicity conditions are `fully correlated', and a set of isolated points if the…

In this note we show that a $p$-complete nilpotent space $X$ has a $p$-complete suspension spectrum if and only if its homotopy groups $\pi_*X$ are bounded $p$-torsion. In contrast, if $\pi_*X$ is not all bounded $p$-torsion, we locate…

For a quasi-projective smooth geometrically integral variety over a number field $k$, we prove that the iterated descent obstruction is equivalent to the descent obstruction. This generalizes a result of Skorobogatov, and this answers an…

We show that the Shimura varieties of level one parametrizing QM-abelian varieties have rarely rational points.
