We consider the Pfaffian-Grassmannian equivalence from the motivic point of view. The main result is that under certain numerical conditions, both sides of the equivalence are related on the level of Chow motives. The consequences include a…

We show that cubic fourfolds with lattice of algebraic 2-cycles of rank greater than 19 have abelian and finite dimensional (in the sense of Kimura) Chow motive. This also implies Abelianity and finite dimensionality of the motive of…

In this paper, we shall give a candidate for the t-structure on the triangulated category of mixed motives due to Voevodsky.

It is shown that a formal mapping between two real-analytic hypersurfaces in complex space is convergent provided that neither hypersurface contains a nontrivial holomorphic variety. For higher codimensional generic submanifolds,…

In this paper, we construct Fourier quasicrystals with unit masses in arbitrary dimensions. This generalizes a one-dimensional construction of Kurasov and Sarnak. To do this, we employ a class of complex algebraic varieties avoiding certain…

Let M be a Q-divisor on a smooth surface over C. In this paper we give criteria for very ampleness of the adjoint of the round-up of M. (Similar results for global generation were given by Ein and Lazarsfeld and used in their proof of…

We construct examples of nodal quartic double solids that admit uniformly rational, and so elliptic in Gromov' sense, small algebraic resolutions.

In this survey, we explain how to compute both the quadratic Euler characteristic of nearby cycles, and the motivic monodromy, at a quasi-homogeneous singularity. This gives, for such singularity, a quadratic refinement to the…

Motivated by the Shilov boundaries of bounded symmetric domains we consider arbitrary CR-quadrics in a complex linear space (of finite dimension) that have a certain symmetry property. For these the non-affine local CR-automorphisms have a…

An introductory theory of frames on finite dimensional quaternion Hilbert spaces is demonstrated along the lines of their complex counterpart.

We describe convex quadric surfaces in n dimensions and characterize them as convex surfaces with quadric sections by a continuous family of hyperplanes.

We compute the algebraic $K$-theory of some classes of surfaces defined over finite fields. We achieve this by first calculating the motivic cohomology groups and then studying the motivic Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence. In an…

Various characterizations of finite convex geometries are well known. This note provides similar characterizations for possibly infinite convex geometries whose lattice of closed sets is strongly coatomic and lower continuous. Some classes…

We show that semi-infinite cohomology of a finite dimensional graded algebra (satisfying some additional requirements) are a particular case of a general categorical construction. The motivating example is provided by small quantum groups…

We show, in this second part, that the maximal number of singular points of a quartic surface $X \subset \mathbb{P}^3_K$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic 2 is at most 14, and that, if we have 14…

Quasifuchsian hyperbolic manifolds, or more generally convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds, have infinite volume, but they have a well-defined ``renormalized'' volume. We outline some relations between this renormalized volume and the…

The aim of this short note is to give a simple proof of the non-rationality of the double cover of the three-dimensional projective space branched over a sufficiently general quartic.

Let $V$ be a smooth cubic surface over a $p$-adic field $k$ with good reduction. Swinnerton-Dyer (1981) proved that $R$-equivalence is trivial on $V(k)$ except perhaps if $V$ is one of three special types--those whose $R$-equivalence he…

Solving a long-standing open question in convex geometry, we will show that typical convex surfaces contain points of infinite curvature in all tangent directions. To prove this, we use an easy curvature definition imitating the idea of…

We study quartic surfaces that admit a group of projective automorphisms isomorphic to icosahedron group.
