Let $F$ be a totally real field in which a fixed prime $p$ is inert, and let $E$ be a CM extension of $F$ in which $p$ splits. We fix two positive integers $r,s \in \mathbb N$. We investigate the Tate conjecture on the special fiber of…

Let $G = GL(n)$ and $K = GL(p) \times GL(q)$ with $p+q=n$, where the groups are taken over $\C$. In this paper we study a certain family of $K$-orbit closures on the flag variety $X$ of $G$. The geometry of these orbit closures plays a…

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…

This paper provides explicit closed formulas in terms of tautological classes for the cycle classes of the height and Artin invariant strata in families of K3 surfaces. The proof is uniform for all strata and uses a flag space as the…

Let $d$ be a square-free positive integer and $h(d)$ the class number of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}{(\sqrt{d})}.$ In this paper we give an explicit lower bound for $h(n^2+r)$, where $r=1,4$, and also establish an equivalent…

A complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n$ together with an ample vector bundle $E$ on it will be called a {\sf generalized polarized variety}. The adjoint bundle of the pair $(X,E)$ is the line bundle $K_X + det(E)$. We study the positivity…

We study the enumerative geometry of the moduli space R_g of Prym varieties of dimension g-1 (also known as the space of admissible double covers). Our main result is that the compactification of R_g is of general type as soon as g>13. We…

We study the rank stratification for the differential of a Lagrangian fibration over a smooth basis. We also introduce and study the notion of Lagrangian morphism of vector bundles. As a consequence, we prove some of the vanishing, in the…

We study links between algebraic cycles on threefolds and finite-dimensionality of their motives with coefficients in Q. We decompose the motive of a non-singular projective threefold X with representable algebraic part of CH_0(X) into…

We determine all possible multiplicities of general singular fibers of a holomorphic Lagrangian fibration, under the assumption that all components of the fibers are of Fujiki class. The multiplicities are at most 6 and the possible values…

Let C be a curve over a non-singular base variety S. We study algebraic cycles on the symmetric powers C^[n] and on the Jacobian J. The Chow homology of C^[*], the sum of all C^[n], is a ring using the Pontryagin product. We prove that this…

We prove a structural result about the space of one cycles of a separably rationally connected variety or a separably rationally connected fibration over a curve, either as a topological group or as an h-sheaf. This has the following…

Consider an external product of a higher cycle and a usual cycle which is algebraically equivalent to zero. Assume there exists an algebraically closed subfield k such that the higher cycle and its ambient variety are defined over k, but…

A cycle $C$ of a graph $G$ is \emph{isolating} if every component of $G-V(C)$ is a single vertex. We show that isolating cycles in polyhedral graphs can be extended to larger ones: every isolating cycle $C$ of length $6 \leq |E(C)| < \left…

Consider a very general abelian variety $A$ of dimension at least $3$ and an integer $0<d\leq \dim A$. We show that if the map $A^k\to CH_0(A)$ has a $d$-dimensional fiber then $k\geq d+(\dim A+1)/2$. This extends results of the…

Kashiwara conjectured that the hard Lefshetz theorem and the semisimplicity theorem hold for any semisimple perverse sheaf M on a variety over a field of characteristic 0. He also conjectured that if you apply to such M the nearby cycle…

We prove that every spherical object in the derived Fukaya category of a closed surface of genus at least two whose Chern character represents a non-zero Hochschild homology class is quasi-isomorphic to a simple closed curve equipped with a…

Let $\Pi$ be an open, relatively compact period annulus of real analytic vector field $X_0$ on an analytic surface. We prove that the maximal number of limit cycles which bifurcate from $\Pi$ under a given multi-parameter analytic…

In this paper, the author constructs a family of algebraic cycles in Bloch's cubical cycle complex over the projective line minus three points which are expected to correspond to multiple polylogarithms in one variable. Elements in this…

We prove existence of aCM and Ulrich sheaves respect to ample and globally generated polarisations on a class of special finite coverings $f:X\to\mathbb{P}^n$, which in particular contains cyclic ones. In the case of rank $2$ on double…
