The classes of two theta divisors on an abelian variety in the naive Grothendieck ring of varieties need not be congruent modulo the class of the affine line.

Let $X$ be a variety. In this survey, we study (decompositions of) the motivic class, in the Grothendieck ring of stacks, of the stack $\mathscr{C}oh^n(X)$ of $0$-dimensional coherent sheaves of length $n$ on $X$. To do so, we review the…

Paolo Aluffi showed that the Chern--Schwartz--MacPherson class of the complement of a free arrangement agrees with the total Chern class of the sheaf of logarithmic derivations along the arrangement. We describe the defect of equality of…

In this paper we study some new theories of characteristic homology classes for singular complex algebraic (or compactifiable analytic) spaces. We introduce a motivic Chern class transformation mC_{*}: K_{0}(var/X)-> G_{0}(X)[y], which…

In this note we present a work in progress whose main purpose is to establish a categorified version of sheaf theory. We present a notion of derived categorical sheaves, which is a categorified version of the notion of complexes of sheaves…

Let X be a K3 surface. We show that the Chow group CH_0(X) of 0-cycles contains a "fundamental class" c_X of degree 1 with remarkable properties: any product of divisors is proportional to this class, and so is the second Chern class…

For the ring of differential operators on a smooth affine algebraic variety $X$ over a field of characteristic zero a finite set of algebra generators and a finite set of defining relations are found explicitly. As a consequence, a finite…

We prove two results about vector bundles on singular algebraic surfaces. First, on proper surfaces there are vector bundles of rank two with arbitrarily large second Chern number and fixed determinant. Second, on separated normal surfaces…

We relate the representations of the rational Cherednik algebras associated with the complex reflection group G(m,1,n) to sheaves on Nakajima quiver varieties associated with extended Dynkin gaphs via a Z-algebra construction. As the…

We prove that on separated algebraic surfaces every coherent sheaf is a quotient of a locally free sheaf. This class contains many schemes that are neither normal, reduced, quasiprojective or embeddable into toric varieties. Our methods…

We study the rank stratification for the differential of a Lagrangian fibration over a smooth basis. We also introduce and study the notion of Lagrangian morphism of vector bundles. As a consequence, we prove some of the vanishing, in the…

We complete the proof of the Nisnevich conjecture in equal characteristic: for a smooth algebraic variety $X$ over a field $k$, a $k$-smooth divisor $D \subset X$, and a reductive $X$-group $G$ whose base change $G_D$ is totally isotropic,…

In this paper we express the class of the structure sheaves of the closures of Deligne--Lusztig varieties as explicit double Grothendieck polynomials in the first Chern classes of appropriate line bundles on the ambient flag variety. This…

The crystalline Chern classes of the value of a locally free crystal vanish on a smooth variety defined over a perfect field. Out of this we conclude new cases of de Jong's conjecture relating the geometric \'etale fundamental group of a…

Let $\mathbf K$ be a finite field, $X$ and $Y$ two curves over $\mathbf K$, and $Y\rightarrow X$ an unramified abelian cover with Galois group $G$. Let $D$ be a divisor on $X$ and $E$ its pullback on $Y$. Under mild conditions the linear…

Let X be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field, and let Y in X be a reduced and irreducible ample divisor in X. We give a numerical sufficient condition for a base point free pencil on $Y$ to be the…

We bound the second Chern class of the tangent sheaf of a codimension-one foliation. Equivalently, we bound the degree of the pure codimension-two part of the singular scheme. In particular, for a degree-$d$ foliation on the projective…

Let $M(d,\chi)$ be the moduli space of semistable sheaves of rank 0, Euler characteristic $\chi$ and first Chern class $dH (d>0)$, with $H$ the hyperplane class in $\mathbb{P}^2$. We give a description of $M(d,\chi)$, viewing each sheaf as…

When a non-singular complex projective surface $X$ satisfies that $K_X\sim 0$, we shall show that there are only finitely many isomorphic classes as abstract schemes in the set of moduli scheme of $H$-semistable sheaves with fixed Chern…

We present versal complex analytic families, over a smooth base and of fibre dimension zero, one, or two, where the discriminant constitutes a free divisor. These families include finite flat maps, versal deformations of reduced curve…
