The proof of the coincidence of the Gysin morphism in motivic cohomology and the usual pushout on Chow groups has been improved (see Lemma 3.3 and Proposition 3.11)

Given a smooth variety $X$ and an effective Cartier divisor $D \subset X$, we show that the cohomological Chow group of 0-cycles on the double of $X$ along $D$ has a canonical decomposition in terms of the Chow group of 0-cycles ${\rm…

We show that for all but finitely many compact orientable surfaces, any superinjective map from the complex of separating curves into the Torelli complex is induced by an element of the extended mapping class group. As an application, we…

It is proved that the category of simplicial complete bornological spaces over $\mathbb R$ carries a combinatorial monoidal model structure satisfying the monoid axiom. For any commutative monoid in this category the category of modules is…

For all but finitely many compact orientable surfaces, we show that any superinjective map from the complex of separating curves into itself is induced by an element of the extended mapping class group. We apply this result to proving that…

Gromov-Witten (GW) theory produces Chow and cohomology classes on the moduli of curves, and there are several conjectures/speculations about their relation to the tautological ring. We develop new degeneration techniques to address these.…

We provide an explicit presentation of the equivariant cohomology ring of the compactified Jacobian $J_{q/p}$ of the rational curve $C_{q/p}$ with planar equation $x^{q}=y^{p}$ for $(p,q)=1$. We also prove analogous results for the closely…

We show that the orbifold Chow ring of a root stack over a well-formed weighted projective space can be naturally seen as the Jacobian algebra of a function on a singular variety given by a partial compactification of its Ginzburg-Landau…

Motivated by the computation of the BPS-invariants on a local Calabi-Yau threefold suggested by S. Katz, we compute the Chow ring and the cohomology ring of the moduli space of stable sheaves of Hilbert polynomial $4m+1$ on the projective…

We introduce in this note the notion of the category of twisted Chow-Witt correspondences $CHW(k)$ over a field $k$ of characteristic different from $2$. Moreover, we show that over an infinite perfect field this category $CHW(k)$ admits a…

We prove, under suitable assumptions, that $p$-torsion Tate-Shafarevich classes for elliptic curves over the rationals are visible in quotients of Jacobians of modular curves, as predicted by a conjecture of Jetchev-Stein. The key…

For a tuple $A=(A_1,\ A_2,\ ...,\ A_n)$ of elements in a unital algebra ${\mathcal B}$ over $\mathbb{C}$, its {\em projective spectrum} $P(A)$ or $p(A)$ is the collection of $z\in \mathbb{C}^n$, or respectively $z\in \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ such…

Let $R$ be a ring and Ch($R$) the category of chain complexes of $R$-modules. We put an abelian model structure on Ch($R$) whose homotopy category is equivalent to $K(Proj)$, the homotopy category of all complexes of projectives. However,…

We show that assuming the standard conjectures, for any smooth projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ over an algebraically closed field, there is a constant $C>0$ such that for any positive rational number $r$ and for any polarized…

We prove an unconditional (but slightly weakened) version of the main result of our earlier paper with the same title, which was, starting from dimension $4$, conditional to the Lefschetz standard conjecture. Let $X$ be a variety with…

We show that the moduli spaces of Thaddeus pairs on smooth projective curves and those of dual pairs are related by d-critical flips, which are virtual birational transformations introduced by the second author. We then prove the existence…

We study the conjecture claiming that, over a flexible field, isotropic Chow groups coincide with numerical Chow groups (with ${\Bbb{F}}_p$-coefficients). This conjecture is essential for understanding the structure of the isotropic motivic…

Answering a question of Ed Schaefer, we show that if J is the Jacobian of a curve C over a number field, if s is an automorphism of J coming from an automorphism of C, and if u lies in the subring Z[s] of End J and has connected kernel,…

We consider a singular holomorphic foliation $\uF$ defined near a compact curve $\uC$ of a complex surface. Under some hypothesis on $(\uF,\uC)$ we prove that there exists a system of tubular neighborhoods $U$ of a curve $\underline{\mc D}$…

Let H(d) be the (open) Hilbert scheme of rational normal curves of degree d in P^d. A presentation of the integral Chow ring of H(d) is given via equivariant Chow ring computations. Included also in the paper are algebraic computations of…
