Let X be a complex projective variety of dimension n with only isolated normal singularities. In this paper we prove, using mixed Hodge theory, that if the link of each singular point of X is (n-2)-connected, then X is a formal topological…

We determine an explicit presentation by generators and relations of the cohomology algebra $H^*(\mathbb P^2\setminus C,\mathbb C)$ of the complement to an algebraic curve $C$ in the complex projective plane $\mathbb P^2$, via the study of…

We study singular rational curves in projective space, deducing conditions on their parametrizations from the value semigroups $\sss$ of their singularities. In particular, we prove that a natural heuristic for the codimension of the space…

- Let K be a totally imaginary number field. Denote by G ur K (2) the Galois group of the maximal unramified pro-2 extension of K. By comparing cup-products in {\'e}tale cohomology of SpecO K and cohomology of uniform pro-2 groups, we…

In this paper we prove the strong Sard conjecture for sub-Riemannian structures on 3-dimensional analytic manifolds. More precisely, given a totally nonholonomic analytic distribution of rank 2 on a 3-dimensional analytic manifold, we…

A finite connected 2-complex K whose fundamental group is of cohomological dimension 2 is aspherical iff the subgroup \Sigma_K of H_2(K) consisting of spherical 2-cycles is zero. A finite connected subcomplex of an aspherical 2-complex is…

Let $G$ be a connected, simply connected, simple, complex, linear algebraic group. Let $P$ be an arbitrary parabolic subgroup of $G$. Let $X=G/P$ be the $G$-homogeneous projective space attached to this situation. We consider the (small)…

We show that the Andr\'{e} motive of a hyper-K\"{a}hler variety $X$ over a field $K \subset \mathbb{C}$ with $b_2(X)>6$ is governed by its component in degree $2$. More precisely, we prove that if $X_1$ and $X_2$ are deformation equivalent…

We define and compute $\operatorname{ABrd}_p(F)$, the asymptotic Brauer $p$-dimension of a field $F$, in cases where $F$ is a rational function field or Laurent series field. $\operatorname{ABrd}_p(F)$ is defined like the Brauer…

We introduce the "sharp" (universal) extension of a 1-motive (with additive factors and torsion) over a field of characteristic zero. We define the "sharp de Rham realization" by passing to the Lie-algebra. Over the complex numbers we then…

We study identities of finite dimensional algebras over a field of characteristic zero, graded by an arbitrary groupoid $\Gamma$. First we prove that its graded colength has a polynomially bounded growth. For any graded simple algebra $A$…

We show how to attach to any rigid analytic variety $V$ over a perfectoid space $P$ a rigid analytic motive over the Fargues-Fontaine curve $\mathcal{X}(P)$ functorially in $V$ and $P$. We combine this construction with the overconvergent…

We formulate for function fields an analog of Serre's conjecture on the modularity of 2-dimensional irreducible mod l representations of the absolute Galois group of Q: our analog is not restricted to 2-dimensional represntations. While the…

For nonabelian $2^{\mathrm{nd}}$-cohomology of multiplicative Lie algebras, we properly generalize from the group case three classic results. We prove a Correspondence theorem which compares $2^{\mathrm{nd}}$-cohomology associated to a…

Given a standard graded polynomial ring over a commutative Noetherian ring $A$, we prove that the cohomological dimension and the height of the ideals defining any of its Veronese subrings are equal. This result is due to Ogus when $A$ is a…
