Two abelian varieties $A_1, A_2$ over a number field $K$ are called strongly iso-Kummerian if the torsion fields $K(A_1[d])$ and $K(A_2[d])$ coincide for all $d \geq 1$. For all $g \geq 4$ we construct geometrically simple, strongly…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety in a field of characteristic $0$. We prove that the expansion of $A$ by a generic divisible subgroup of $A$ with the same torsion exists provided $A$ has few algebraic endomorphisms, namely…

The aim of this paper is to give all quasitriangular structures on a class of semisimple Hopf algebras constructed through abelian extensions of $\Bbbk\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ by $\Bbbk^G$ for an abelian group $G$. We first introduce the concept of…

We discuss a certain class of absolutely irreducible group representations that behave nicely under the restriction to normal subgroups and subalgebras. These representations proved to be useful for the construction of abelian varieties…

We show that certain twisting deformations of a family of supersolvable groups are simple as Hopf algebras. These groups are direct products of two generalized dihedral groups. Examples of this construction arise in dimensions 60 and…

Symplectic and complex toric quasifolds are a generalization of toric manifolds and orbifolds to the nonrational case. In this paper, we reframe these notions from the viewpoint of algebraic geometry.

In this paper we look at the notion of cohomological triviality of fibrations of homogeneous spaces of affine algebraic groups defined over $\mathbb{C}$ and use topological methods, primarily the theory of covering spaces. This is made…

We describe a sufficient condition for the localization functor to be a categorical equivalence. Using this result we explain how to simplify the test for projectivity. This leads to a description of the strictly simple algebras which are…

Let V be a smooth quasi-projective complex surface such that the three first logarithmic plurigenera are equal to 1 and the logarithmic irregularity is equal to 2. We prove that the quasi-Albanese morphism of V is birational and there…

We show that any abelian variety that is not affine has a nontrivial strongly abelian subvariety. In later papers in this sequence we apply this result to the study of minimal abelian varieties.

Let $A_t$ be a family of abelian varieties over a number field $k$ parametrized by a rational coordinate $t$, and suppose the generic fiber of $A_t$ is geometrically simple. For example, we may take $A_t$ to be the Jacobian of the…

We construct nontrivial homomorphisms from the quasi group of some cubic surfaces over $\bbF_{\!p}$ into a group. We show experimentally that the homomorphisms constructed are the only possible ones and that there are no nontrivial…

We show that the group C*-algebra of any elementary amenable group is quasidiagonal. This is an offspring of recent progress in the classification theory of nuclear C*-algebras.

We show that when G is a finite group which contains an elementary Abelian subgroup of order p^2 and k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, then the study of simple endotrivial kG-modules which are not monomial may be…

We examine the question of quasidiagonality for C*-algebras of discrete amenable groups from a variety of angles. We give a quantitative version of Rosenberg's theorem via paradoxical decompositions and a characterization of…

In this article we investigate the algebra and geometry of dihedral covers of smooth algebraic varieties. To this aim we first describe the Weil divisors and the Picard group of divisorial sheaves on normal double covers. Then we provide a…

We study finite quotients of abelian varieties (fqav for short) i.e. quotients of abelian varieties by finite groups. We show that Q-abelian varieties (i.e. fqav's with $\mathbb Q$-linearly trivial canonical divisors) are characterized by…

We classify almost homogeneous normal varieties of Albanese codimension $1$, defined over an arbitrary field. We prove that such a variety has a unique normal equivariant completion. Over a perfect field, the group scheme of automorphisms…

Our main result is a combinatorial characterization of when a horospherical variety has (at worst) quotient singularities. Using this characterization, we show that every quasiprojective horospherical variety with quotient singularities is…

A simple surface amalgam is the union of a finite collection of surfaces with precisely one boundary component each and which have their boundary curves identified. We prove if two fundamental groups of simple surface amalgams act properly…
