We study the Cox realization of an affine variety, i.e., a canonical representation of a normal affine variety with finitely generated divisor class group as a quotient of a factorially graded affine variety by an action of the Neron-Severi…

We consider finitely generated normal algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero that come with a complexity one grading by a finitely generated abelian group such that the conditions of a UFD are satisfied for…

This paper studies the K-theory of categories of partially cancellative monoid sets, which is better behaved than that of all finitely generated monoid sets. A number of foundational results are proved, making use of the formalism of…

In this technical report we describe a general class of monoids for which (sub)sequential rational can be characterised in terms of a congruence relation in the flavour of Myhill-Nerode relation. The class of monoids that we consider can be…

In this revised form, the proof of the principal lemma has been simplified and the main theorem has been extended to all characteristics for those varieties which are smooth in codimension one. This principal theorem essentially says the…

This note proves the existence of universal rational parametrizations. The description involves homogeneous coordinates on a toric variety coming from a lattice polytope. We first describe how smooth toric varieties lead to universal…

Although intersection homology lacks a ring structure, certain expressions (called uniform) in the intersection homology of an irreducible projective variety $X$ always give the same value, when computed via the decomposition theorem on any…

We compute the Cox ring of an embedded variety $X \subseteq Z$ within a Mori dream space, under the assumption that the pullback map induces an isomorphism at the level of divisor class groups. We show that the Cox ring of $X$ is the…

Let X be a complete toric variety with homogeneous coordinate ring S. In this article, we compute upper and lower bounds for the codimension in the critical degree of ideals of S generated by dim(X)+1 homogeneous polynomials that don't…

We investigate Cox rings of symplectic resolutions of quotients of $\mathbb{C}^{2n}$ by finite symplectic group actions. We propose a finite generating set of the Cox ring of a symplectic resolution and prove that under a condition…

An abelian variety over a field K is said to have big monodromy, if the image of the Galois representation on l-torsion points, for almost all primes l contains the full symplectic group. We prove that all abelian varieties over a finitely…

We consider a notion of "numerosity" for sets of tuples of natural numbers, that satisfies the five common notions of Euclid's Elements, so it can agree with cardinality only for finite sets. By suitably axiomatizing such a notion, we show…

The border apolarity technique was introduced in our earlier work for secant varieties over complex numbers. We extend the theory to cactus varieties of toric varieties over any algebraically closed field. A border cactus decomposition is a…

We consider linear systems on toric varieties of any dimension, with invariant base points, giving a characterization of special linear systems. We then make a new conjecture for linear systems on rational surfaces.

We study the Cox rings of smooth anticanonical Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in smooth toric Fano varieties. Using the combinatorics of primitive pairs of the ambient Fano polytope and the description of Cox rings of embedded varieties via…

We introduce notions of vector field and its (discrete time) flow on a chain complex. The resulting dynamical systems theory provides a set of tools with a broad range of applicability that allow, among others, to replace in a canonical way…

We give both a sufficient condition for and an obstruction to the derived category of a commutative ring being generated by its residue fields. As an illustration, we exhibit a ring for which Foxby's small support classifies localizing…

In this paper it is shown that multiplicative cohomology theories that are rationally even -- a technical condition that is often satisfied -- the Hopkins-Singer construction of generalized differential cohomology has a unital, graded…

Let $I$ be a monomial ideal in a polynomial ring $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ over a field $K$ with $n=2$ or $3$, and let $\overline{I}$ be its integral closure. We will show that $\text{reg} (\overline{I}) \le \text{reg} (I)$. Furthermore, if $I$…

Let X be a smooth variety over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic. We define and study a general notion of regular singularities for stratified bundles (i.e. O_X-coherent D_X-modules) on X without relying on…
