Suppose $\phi$ is a $\mathbb{Z}/4$-cover of a curve over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $2$, and $\Phi_1$ is a \emph{nice} lift of $\phi$'s $\mathbb{Z}/2$-sub-cover to a complete discrete valuation ring $R$ in…

We use homogeneous spectra of multigraded rings to construct toric embeddings of a large family of projective varieties which preserve some of the birational geometry of the underlying variety, generalizing the well-known construction…

We show that the classifying space functor $B: Mon \to Top*$ from the category of topological monoids to the category of based spaces is left adjoint to the Moore loop space functor $\Omega': Top*\to Mon$ after we have localized $Mon$ with…

We study embeddings of uniform Roe algebras which have "large range" in their codomain and the relation of those with coarse quotients between metric spaces. Among other results, we show that if $Y$ has property A and there is an embedding…

Call a compact space $X$ pin homogeneous if every two points $a,b$ are pin equivalent, meaning that there exists a compact space $Y$, a quotient map $f\colon Y\to X$, and a homeomorphism $g\colon Y\to Y$ such that…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic mapping between compact complex manifolds. We give a criterion for $f$ to have {\it unobstructed deformations}, i.e. for the local moduli space of $f$ to be smooth: this says, roughly speaking, that the group of…

Let $Y\to X$ be a finite normal cover of a wedge of $n\geq 3$ circles. We prove that for any $v\neq 0\in H_1(Y;\mathbb{Q})$ there exists a lift $\widetilde{F}$ to $Y$ of a homotopy equivalence $F:X\to X$ so that the set of iterates…

We present a geometric construction of push-forward maps along projective morphisms for cohomology theories representable in the stable motivic homotopy category assuming that the element corresponding to the stable Hopf map is inverted in…

The subject of this dissertation is the Gysin homomorphism in equivariant cohomology for spaces with torus action. We consider spaces which are quotients of classical semisimple complex linear algebraic groups by a parabolic subgroup with…

This paper is devoted to a study of the relative version of a Mori dream space (MDS for short), which was first introduced by Andreatta and Wi\'{s}newski and will be called Mori dream morphism (MDM) in this paper. An MDM is defined to be an…

A nonsingular real algebraic variety Y is said to have the approximation property if for every real algebraic variety X the following holds: if f:X-->Y is a C^inf map that is homotopic to a regular map, then f can be approximated in the…

In the study of holomorphic maps, the term "rigidity" refers to certain types of results that give us very specific information about a general class of holomorphic maps owing to the geometry of their domains or target spaces. Under this…

We highlight a relation between the existence of Sarkisov links and the finite generation of (certain) Cox rings. We introduce explicit methods to use this relation in order to prove birational rigidity statements. To illustrate, we…

Given a generic PL map or a generic smooth fold map $f:N^n\to M^m$, where $m\ge n$ and $2(m+k)\ge 3(n+1)$, we prove that $f$ lifts to a PL or smooth embedding $N\to M\times\mathbb R^k$ if and only if its double point locus $\{(x,y)\in…

For a generic degree d smooth map f: N^n -> M^n we introduce its "transverse fundamental group" \pi(f), which reduces to \pi_1(M) in the case where f is a covering, and in general admits a monodromy homomorphism \pi(f) -> S_{|d|};…

Let F be a finitely generated discrete group. Given a covering map H to G of Lie groups with G either compact or complex reductive, there is an induced covering map Hom(F, H) to Hom(F, G). We show that when the fundamental group of G is…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a projective log canonical pair such that $\Delta \geq A$ where $A \geq 0$ is an ample $\mathbb{R}$-divisor. We prove that either $(X,\Delta)$ has a good minimal model or a Mori fibre space. Moreover, if $X$ is…

An outstanding folklore conjecture asserts that, for any prime $p$, up to isomorphism the projective plane $PG(2,\mathbb{F}_p)$ over the field $\mathbb{F}_p := \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ is the unique projective plane of order $p$. Let $\pi$…

We prove that under some purely algebraic conditions every locally homogeneous structure modelled on some homogeneous space is induced by a locally homogeneous structure modelled on a different homogeneous space.

In studies of smooth maps with good differential topological conditions such as immersions, embeddings, Morse functions and their higher dimensional versions including fold maps and application to geometry, especially algebraic and…
