The Torelli group $\mathcal T(X)$ of a closed smooth manifold $X$ is the subgroup of the mapping class group $\pi_0(\mathrm{Diff}^+(X))$ consisting of elements which act trivially on the integral cohomology of $X$. In this note we give…

We study finite and semi-finite vector bundles on complex tori. We give an explicit decomposition of such bundles in terms of torsion and unipotent factors. As a consequence, we prove that the extended Nori fundamental group scheme of a…

The simplicial wedge construction on simplicial complexes and simple polytopes has been used by a variety of authors to study toric and related spaces, including non-singular toric varieties, toric manifolds, intersections of quadrics and…

We survey some recent results concerning the so called Categorical Torelli problem. This is to say how one can reconstruct a smooth projective variety up to isomorphism, by using the homological properties of special admissible…

These lecture notes are written for a PhD mini-course I gave at the CIRM in Luminy in 2019. Their intended purpose was to present, in the context of smooth toric varieties, a relatively self-contained and elementary introduction to the…

We show that the moment polytope of a K\"ahler toric manifold, constructed as the torification (in the sense of M. Molitor, K\"ahler toric manifolds from dually flat spaces, arXiv:2109.04839, 2021) of an exponential family defined on a…

We investigate toric varieties defined by arrangements of hyperplanes and call them strongly symmetric. The smoothness of such a toric variety translates to the fact that the arrangement is crystallographic. As a result, we obtain a…

We consider a generalisation of the Seiberg-Witten invariant to the families Seiberg-Witten invariants of a smooth family of 4-manifolds with fibres diffeomorphic to a 4-manifold $X$. Of particular interest is the special case when the…

Let k be a field, and let {\pi}:\tilde{X} -> X be a proper birational morphism of irreducible k-varieties, where \tilde{X} is smooth and X has at worst quotient singularities. When the characteristic of k is zero, a theorem of Koll\'ar in…

Smooth irreducible representations of tori over local fields have been parameterized by Langlands, using class field theory and Galois cohomology. This paper extends this parameterization to central extensions of such tori, which arise…

In the paper we prove a factorization theorem for representations of fundamental groups of compact K\"{a}hler manifolds ({\em K\"{a}hler groups}) into solvable matrix groups. We apply this result to prove that the universal covering of a…

Given a smooth quasi-projective complex algebraic variety $\mathcal{S}$, we prove that there are only finitely many Hodge-generic non-isotrivial families of smooth projective hypersurfaces over $\mathcal{S}$ of degree $d$ in…

We give a $K$-theoretic criterion for a quasi-projective variety to be smooth. If $\mathbb{L}$ is a line bundle corresponding to an ample invertible sheaf on $X$, it suffices that $K_q(X) = K_q(\mathbb{L})$ for all $q\le\dim(X)+1$.

We characterise the virtually abelian groups which are fundamental groups of compact K\"ahler manifolds and of smooth projective varieties. We show that a virtually abelian group is K\"ahler if and only if it is projective. In particular,…

A smooth cuboid can be identified with a $3\times 3$ matrix of linear forms, with coefficients in a field $K$, whose determinant describes a smooth cubic in the projective plane. To each such matrix one can associate a group scheme over…

Let $\mathbb{D}$ be the category of pro-sets (or abelian pro-groups). It is proved that for any Grothendieck site $X$, there exists a reflector from the category of precosheaves on $X$ with values in $\mathbb{D}$ to the full subcategory of…

We give a criterion for the sheaf of K\"ahler differentials on a cone over a smooth projective variety to be torsion-free. Applying this to Veronese embeddings of projective space and using known results on differentials on quotient…

In this article we study compact K\"ahler manifolds $X$ admitting non-singular holomorphic vector fields with the aim of extending to this setting the classical birational classification of projective varieties with tangent vector fields.…

In this paper we use formal group rings to construct an algebraic model of the $T$-equivariant oriented cohomology of smooth toric varieties. Then we compare our model with known results of equivariant cohomology of toric varieties to…

In the present paper we provide a construction via mapping tori of (non Bismut flat) strong HKT and generalized hyperk\"ahler structures on compact manifolds. The skew-symmetric torsion is parallel, but the manifolds are not a product of a…
