In a general triangulated category, the finiteness of the finitistic dimension serves as a prerequisite for a categorical obstruction, via the singularity category, to the existence of bounded $t$-structures. In this paper, we investigate…

A $\lambda$-quiddity of size $n$ is an $n$-tuple of elements from a fixed set, which is a solution to a matrix equation that arises in the study of Coxeter's friezes. The study of these solutions involves in particular the use of a notion…

Combining Kulpa's proof of the cubical Sperner lemma and a dimension theoretic idea of van Mill we give a very short proof of the invariance of dimension, i.e. the statement that cubes [0,1]^n, [0,1]^m are homeomorphic if and only if n=m.…

Cubic sevenfolds are examples of Fano manifolds of Calabi-Yau type. We study them in relation with the Cartan cubic, the $E_6$-invariant cubic in $\PP^{26}$. We show that a generic cubic sevenfold $X$ can be described as a linear section of…

Classification theory and the study of projective varieties which are covered by rational curves of minimal degrees naturally leads to the study of families of singular rational curves. Since families of arbitrarily singular curves are hard…

The aim of this paper is to introduce an approach to the (strong) Novikov conjecture based on continuous families of finite dimensional representations: this is partly inspired by ideas of Lusztig using the Atiyah-Singer families index…

Let $X$ be a cubic fourfold that has only simple singularities and does not contain a plane. We prove that the Fano variety of lines on $X$ has the same analytic type of singularity as the Hilbert scheme of two points on a surface with only…

In this thesis we compare V. Voevodsky's geometric motives to the derived category of M. Nori's abelian category of mixed motives by constructing a triangulated tensor functor between them. It will be compatible with the Betti realizations…

Let k be a perfect field. In this paper we prove that biextensions of 1-motives define multilinear morphisms between 1-motives in Voevodsky's triangulated category of effective geometrical motives over k with rational coefficients.

We study Chow groups and \'etale motivic cohomology groups of smooth complete intersections with Hodge structures of level one, classified by Deligne and Rapoport, with particular attention to fivefolds. We extend these results to an…

Let $R$ be a finite dimensional $k$-algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $\mathrm{mod} R$ be the category of all finitely generated left $R$-modules. For a given full subcategory $\mathcal{X}$ of $\mathrm{mod} R,$ we denote by…

Over a field of characteristic 2, we give a complete classification of quadratic and bilinear forms of dimension 5 that are minimal over the function field of an arbitrary conic. This completes the unique known case due to Faivre concerning…

We classify families of free rational curves on all smooth Fano threefolds over the complex numbers. In particular, we prove the family of very free rational curves representing any fixed numerical curve class is either irreducible or…

We introduce a new type of $n$-dimensional generalization of symmetric $(v,k,\lambda)$ block designs. We prove upper bounds on the dimension $n$ in terms of $v$ and $k$. We also define the corresponding concept of $n$-dimensional difference…

The aim of this paper is to study finite orthogonal polynomials on a cone of revolution and its surface. We define two classes of finite orthogonal polynomials on the solid cone and derive their corresponding differential equations and…

In this short note we show the unboundedness of the dimension of the K-moduli space of $n$-dimensional Fano varieties, and that the dimension of the stack can also be unbounded while, simultaneously, the dimension of the corresponding…

We classify simple representations of Khovanov-Lauda-Rouquier algebras in finite type. The classification is in terms of a standard family of representations that is shown to yield the dual PBW basis in the Grothendieck group. Finally, we…

We show that mixed-characteristic and equi-characteristic small deformations of 3-dimensional canonical (resp. terminal) singularities with perfect residue field of characteristic $p>5$ are canonical (resp. terminal). We discuss…

Conventional thinking says the universe is infinite. But it could be finite and relatively small, merely giving the illusion of a greater one, like a hall of mirrors. Recent astronomical measurements add support to a finite space with a…

Let $A$ be an Artin algebra. We investigate subalgebras of $A$ with certain conditions and obtain some classes of algebras whose finitistic dimensions are finite.
