Let $M$ be a $n$-dimensional complex manifold and $f,g:M\to M$ two distinct holomorphic self-maps. Suppose that $f$ and $g$ coincide on a globally irreducible compact hypersurface $S\subset M$. We show that if one of the two maps is a local…

A. Vistoli proved a decomposition theorem for the rational equivariant algebraic K-theory of a variety under the action of a finite group $G$. We generalize his result to more general algebraic (co)homology theories having the Mackey…

We investigate under what conditions holomorphic forms defined on the regular locus of a reduced complex space extend to holomorphic (or logarithmic) forms on a resolution of singularities. We give a simple necessary and sufficient…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler fourfold with klt singularities and vanishing first Chern class, smooth in codimension two. We show that $X$ admits a Beauville-Bogomolov decomposition: a finite quasi-\'etale cover of $X$ splits as a product…

Let $\phi:X\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ be a morphism of varieties. Given a hyperplane $H$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$, there is a Gysin map from the compactly supported cohomology of $\phi^{-1}(H)$ to that of $X$. We give conditions on the degree of…

For G a finite group and X a G-space on which a normal subgroup A acts trivially, we show that the G-equivariant K-theory of X decomposes as a direct sum of twisted equivariant K-theories of X parametrized by the orbits of the conjugation…

In these notes we give a brief introduction to decomposition theory and we summarize some classical and well-known results. The main question is that if a partitioning of a topological space (in other words a decomposition) is given, then…

We say an excellent local domain $(S,n)$ satisfies the vanishing conditions for maps of Tor, if for every $A\to R\to S$ with $A$ regular and $A\to R$ module-finite torsion-free extension, and every $A$-module $M$, the map $Tor^A_i(M, R)\to…

Let $X$ be any variety in characteristic zero. Let $V \subset X$ be an open subset that has toroidal singularities. We show the existence of a canonical desingularization of $X$ except for V. It is a morphism $f: Y \to X$ , which does not…

We study the topology of toric maps. We show that if $f\colon X\to Y$ is a proper toric morphism, with $X$ simplicial, then the cohomology of every fiber of $f$ is pure and of Hodge-Tate type. When the map is a fibration, we give an…

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a projective birational morphism, between complex quasi-projective varieties. Fix a bivariant class $\theta \in H^0(X\stackrel{f}\to Y)\cong Hom_{D^{b}_{c}(Y)}(Rf_*\mathbb A_X, \mathbb A_Y)$ (here $\mathbb A$ is a…

Consider a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and any of its moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}(A,\mathbf{d})^{ss}_{\theta}$ of representations. We prove a decomposition theorem which relates any irreducible component of…

Let $X_0$ be an affine variety with only normal isolated singularity $p$ and $\pi: X\to X_0$ a smooth resolution of the singularity with trivial canonical line bundle $K_X$. If the complement of the affine variety $X_0\backslash\{p\}$ is…

For a smooth subvariety $X\subset\Bbb P^N$, consider (analogously to projective normality) the vanishing condition $H^1(\Bbb P^N,\Cal I^2_X(k))=0$, $k\ge3$. This condition is shown to be satisfied for all sufficiently large embeddings of a…

We prove that the mapping stack Map(Y,X) of topological stacks X and Y is again a topological stack if Y admits a compact groupoid presentation. If Y admits a locally compact groupoid presentation, we show that Map(Y,X) is a paratopological…

Given an embedded smooth projective variety Y in CP^n, we show how the existence of a hypersurface with high multiplicity along Y, but of relatively low degree and log canonical near Y implies vanishing of higher cohomology for certain…

We show that an arbitrary factor map $\pi:X \to Y$ on an irreducible subshift of finite type is a composition of a finite-to-one factor code and a class degree one factor code. Using this structure theorem on infinite-to-one factor codes,…

We continue our study of the Hodge theory of degenerations, Part I of which covered consequences of the Decomposition Theorem and Part II of which concerned geometric applications in the isolated singularity case. The focus here in Part III…

We proof here the existence of a topological thick and thin decomposition of any closed definable thick isolated singularity germ in the spirit of the recently discovered metric thick and thin decomposition of complex normal surface…

The symmetries described by Pin groups are the result of combining a finite number of discrete reflections in (hyper)planes. The current work shows how an analysis using geometric algebra provides a picture complementary to that of the…
