We generalize the well-studied notion of a modular pair of a finite matroid to arbitrary families of sets in infinite matroids, and use it to develop the theory of infinite matroids in several as-yet-unexplored areas. Our results include a…

We construct the moduli stack of torsors over the formal punctured disk in characteristic p > 0 for a finite group isomorphic to the semidirect product of a p-group and a tame cyclic group. We prove that the stack is a limit of separated…

In 2003, Del Pino and Dolbeault [14] and Gentil [19] investigated, independently, best constants and extremals associated to Euclidean Lp-entropy inequalities for p > 1. In this work, we present some contributions in the Riemannian context.…

We consider the quotient group $T(G)$ of the multiple holomorph by the holomorph of a finite $p$-group $G$ of class two for an odd prime $p$. By work of the first-named author, we know that $T(G)$ contains a cyclic subgroup of order…

Let $\mathbb{k}$ be a commutative ring with global dimension zero. We show that we can rigidify homotopy coherent comodules in connective modules over the Eilenberg-Mac Lane spectrum of $\mathbb{k}$. That is, the $\infty$-category of…

Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. We give criteria for a complex of cotorsion flat R-modules to be minimal, in the sense that every self homotopy equivalence is an isomorphism. To do this, we exploit Enochs' description of the…

In this paper, we study the unimodular equivalence of sublattices in an $n$-dimensional lattice. A recursive procedure is given to compute the cardinalities of the unimodular equivalent classes with the indices which are powers of a prime…

Using the notion of a strongly regular hyperbolic automorphism of a locally finite Euclidean building, we prove that any (not necessarily discrete) closed, co-compact subgroup of the type-preserving automorphisms group of a locally finite…

We study the quotient of the mapping class group $\operatorname{Mod}_g^n$ of a surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures, by the subgroup $\operatorname{Mod}_g^n[p]$ generated by the $p$-th powers of Dehn twists. Our first main result is that…

Let $A$ be a commutative noetherian ring, containing a field $k$, with $1/2\in k$, $\dim A=d$, and let $P$ be a projective $A$-module or $rank(P)=n$. In continuation of \cite{MM}, we study Homotopy obstructions for $P$ to split off a free…

Casually introduced thirty years ago, a simple algebraic equation of degree 4, with coefficients in Fp[T], has a solution in the field of power series in 1/T, over the finite field Fp. For each prime p > 3, the continued fraction expansion…

In this short note we prove a version of Bertini's theorem for unipotent rigid fundamental groups, stating that for every smooth, projective, geometrically connected variety $X$ over an infinite perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$,…

We show that the recent world-sheet analysis of the quantum fluctuations of a short flux tube in type II string theory leads to a simple and precise description of a pair of stuck D0branes in an orientifold compactification of the type I'…

Our aim in this article is to contribute to the theory of Lipschitz free $p$-spaces for $0<p\le 1$ over the Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\mathbb{Z}^d$. To that end, on one hand we show that $\mathcal{F}_p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ admits a…

Suppose that g > 2, that n > 0 and that m > 0. In this paper we show that if E is an irreducible smooth variety which dominates a divisor D in M_{g,n}[m], the moduli space of n-pointed, smooth curves of genus g with a level m structure,…

We complete and precise the results of [B.13] and we prove a strong version of the semi-proper direct image theorem with values in the space C f n (M) of finite type closed n--cycles in a complex space M. We describe the strongly…

We prove an analogue of the Madsen-Weiss theorem for high dimensional manifolds. For example, we explicitly describe the ring of characteristic classes of smooth fibre bundles whose fibres are connected sums of g copies of S^n x S^n, in the…

We prove the existence of families of distinct isotopy classes of physical unknots through the key concept of parametrised thickness. These unknots have prescribed length, tube thickness, a uniform bound on curvature, and cannot be…

Consider an $m$-dimensional area minimizing mod$(2Q)$ current $T$, with $Q\in\mathbb{N}$, inside a sufficiently regular Riemannian manifold of dimension $m + 1$. We show that the set of singular density-$Q$ points with a flat tangent cone…

We discuss the moduli space of flat connections of Yang-Mills theories formulated on T^3 x R, with periodic boundary conditions. When the gauge group is SO(N>=7), G_2, F_4, E_6, E_7 or E_8, the moduli space consists of more than one…
