The main aim of the paper is to provide analogues of Simpson's correspondence on singular projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. There are two main cases. In the first case, we consider…

The geometric and algebraic properties of smooth projective varieties with 1-regular structure sheaf are well understood, and the complete classification of these varieties is a classical result. The aim of this paper is to study the next…

Let $X/\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a smooth geometrically connected variety. Inspired by work of Corlette-Simpson over $\mathbb{C}$, we formulate a conjecture that absolutely irreducible rank 2 local systems with infinite monodromy on $X$ come from…

This is a quick survey on the characteristic varieties associated to rank one local systems on a smooth, irreducible, quasi-projective complex variety $M$. A key new result is Proposition 1.8, giving additional information on the…

We give a framework to produce constructible functions from natural functors between categories, without need of a morphism of moduli spaces to model the functor. We show using the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence that any natural (derived)…

This informal note provides some elementary examples to motivate the local structural results of [1] on the moduli space of genus one stable maps to projective space. The hope is that these examples will be helpful for graduate students to…

We present some simple examples of smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic, arising from linear algebra, which do not admit a lifting neither to characteristic zero, nor to the ring of second Witt vectors. Our first…

We construct smooth complex projective varieties of dimension 3 to 6 with variations of Hodge structure, by generalizing an example of J. Carlson and C. Simpson in dimension 2. Then, we study some of their properties, in particular their…

The main aim of this article is to give new classes of smooth projective varieties over characteristic $p>0$ that admit flat liftings over the Witt vectors together with additional data (logarithmic structure and the Frobenius morphism) by…

We prove that the cohomology jump loci in the space of rank one local systems over a smooth quasi-projective variety are finite unions of torsion translates of subtori. The main ingredients are a recent result of Dimca-Papadima, some…

For each smooth curve over a finite field, after puncturing it at finitely many points, we construct local systems on it of geometric origin which do not come from a family of abelian varieties. We do so by proving a criterion which must be…

Generalizing the Moret-Bailly pencil of supersingular abelian surfaces to higher dimensions, we construct for each field of characteristic p>0 a smooth projective variety with trivial dualizing sheaf that does not formally lift to…

We construct a concrete example of a 1-parameter family of smooth projective geometrically integral varieties over an open subscheme of P^1_Q such that there is exactly one rational fiber with no rational points. This makes explicit a…

We introduce in this paper a hypercohomology version of the resonance varieties and obtain some relations to the characteristic varieties of rank one local systems on a smooth quasi-projective complex variety $M$, see Theorem (3.1) and…

Simplicial complexes are now a popular alternative to networks when it comes to describing the structure of complex systems, primarily because they encode multi-node interactions explicitly. With this new description comes the need for…

Let X/k be an abelian variety over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. In this paper, using the Azumaya property of the sheaf of crystalline differential operators and the Morita equivalence, we show that etale locally…

The comparison theorem for a smooth projective variety $X$ over $\mathbb{C}$ tells us that the Betti numbers are independent of $l$. We aim to understand the $l$ independence of Betti numbers for smooth projective varieties $X$ over $k$,…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over an algebraically closed field. We show that $A$ is the automorphism group scheme of some smooth projective variety if and only if $A$ has only finitely many automorphisms as an algebraic group. This…

We prove new instances of Simpson's rigidity conjecture which states that quasi-unipotent rigid local systems should be motivic. We construct new relative motives over the fourfold punctured Riemann sphere which give rise to $G_2$-rigid…

We study the moduli of G-local systems on smooth but not necessarily proper complex algebraic varieties. We show that, when suitably considered as derived algebraic stacks, they carry natural Poisson structures, generalizing the well known…
