Given a group G and positive integers k,n, we let B_n=B_n(G) denote the set of all elements x in G such that |x^G|\leq n, and we say that G satisfies the (k,n)-covering condition for commutators if there is a subset S in G such that |S|\leq…

In this survey-research paper, we first introduce the theory of Smith classes of complexes with fixed-point free, periodic maps on them. These classes, when defined for the deleted product of a simplicial complex $K$, are the same as the…

The Grothendieck-Serre conjecture predicts that on a regular local ring, no nontrivial reductive torsor becomes trivial over the fraction field. While this conjecture has been proven in the equicharacteristic case, it remains open in the…

First we give a review of the spurion formalism and the exact renormalization group equations for soft supersymmetry breaking parameters in general gauge theories. Next we discuss the minimal supersymmetric standard model coupled to…

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…

Consider a finite morphism f:X -> Y of smooth projective varieties over a finite field k. Suppose X is the vanishing locus in projective N-space of at most r forms of degree at most d. We show there is a constant C, depending only on N, r,…

Our aim is to determine the regular homotopy classes of immersions related to Arnol'd's simple singularities. For every type of simple singularities, we determine the regular homotopy class of the inclusion map of the link into the…

A two dimensional inclusion of core-shell structure is neutral to multiple uniform fields if and only if the core and the shell are concentric disks, provided that the conductivity of the matrix is isotropic. An inclusion is said to be…

We study reductive subgroups $H$ of a reductive linear algebraic group $G$ -- possibly non-connected -- such that $H$ contains a regular unipotent element of $G$. We show that under suitable hypotheses, such subgroups are $G$-irreducible in…

To the spectral curves of smooth periodic solutions of the $n$-wave equation the points with infinite energy are added. The resulting spaces are considered as generalized Riemann surfcae. In general the genus is equal to infinity,…

This note is the sequel to [A note on secondary K-theory. Algebra and Number Theory 10 (2016), no. 4, 887-906]. Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the canonical map from the derived Brauer group to the…

A torsor under a k-group scheme G on a variety X over a number field k imposes a descent obstruction against the existence of rational points on X. We discuss the finite descent obstruction, that is for all such torsors under finite…

J. Stix proved that a curve of positive genus over $\mathbb{Q}$ which maps to a non-trivial Brauer-Severi variety satisfies the section conjecture. We prove that, if $X$ is a curve of positive genus over a number field $k$ and the Weil…

Let R be a discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field, and consider a smooth curve CK over the field of fractions K. For any positive integer r prime to the residual characteristic, we consider the finite K-group scheme…

Associated to a convex integral polygon $N$ in the plane are two integrable systems: the cluster integrable system of Goncharov and Kenyon, constructed from the dimer model on bipartite torus graphs, and the Beauville integrable system…

We answer a question of Serre from the 1980s on rational points of bounded height on projective thin sets, in degree at least $4$. For degrees $2$ and $3$ we improve the known bounds in general. The focus is on thin sets of type II, namely…

Let R be a regular semi-local integral domain containing a field and K be its fraction field. Let mu: G --> T be an R-group schemes morphism between reductive R-group schemes, which is smooth as a scheme morphism. Suppose that T is an…

We prove that, on a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, the semiregularity map annihilates every obstruction to embedded deformations of a local complete intersection subvariety with extendable…

Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field k of separably good characteristic p>0 for G. Under these assumptions a Springer isomorphism from the reduced nilpotent scheme of the Lie algebra of G to the reduced unipotent…

In this note we illustrate by a few examples the general principle: interesting algebras and representations defined over Z_+ come from category theory, and are best understood when their categorical origination has been discovered. We show…
