In this article, we aim to largely complete the program of proving the Tate conjecture for surfaces of geometric genus one, by introducing techniques to analyze those surfaces whose "natural models" are singular. As an application, we show…

We use the anti-equivalence between Cohen-Macaulay complexes and coherent sheaves on formal schemes to shed light on some older results and prove new results. We bring out the relations between a coherent sheaf M satisfying an S_2 condition…

We discuss Manin's conjecture concerning the distribution of rational points of bounded height on Del Pezzo surfaces, and its refinement by Peyre, and explain applications of universal torsors to counting problems. To illustrate the method,…

For a Hamiltonian $H \in C^2(\mathbb{R}^{N \times n})$ and a map $u:\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n /!\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^N$, we consider the supremal functional \[ \label{1} \tag{1} E_\infty (u,\Omega) \ :=\…

We show that smooth quintic del Pezzo threefolds over arbitrary base schemes are classified by non-degenerate ternary symmetric bilinear forms. Then we describe the automorphism group schemes, the Hilbert schemes of lines and the orbit…

Let $X$ a smooth quasi-projective algebraic surface, $L$ a line bundle on $X$. Let $X^{[n]}$ the Hilbert scheme of $n$ points on $X$ and $L^{[n]}$ the tautological bundle on $X^{[n]}$ naturally associated to the line bundle $L$ on $X$. We…

A pair of disjoint lines on a smooth cubic threefold determines an irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme. We prove that this component is smooth and isomorphic to the blow-up of the symmetric product of Fano varieties of lines on the…

We compute the space of global sections for the symmetric power of the tautological bundle on the punctual Hilbert scheme of a complex smooth projective surface.

Assuming finiteness of the Tate--Shafarevich group, we prove that the Birch--Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture correctly predicts the parity of the rank of semistable principally polarised abelian surfaces. If the surface in question is the…

Moduli spaces of stable sheaves on smooth projective surfaces are in general singular. Nonetheless, they carry a virtual class, which -- in analogy with the classical case of Hilbert schemes of points -- can be used to define intersection…

The intersection of a complex plane curve with a small three-sphere surrounding one of its singularities is a non-trivial link. The refined punctual Hilbert schemes of the singularity parameterize subschemes supported at the singular point…

Belmans, Oberdieck, and Rennemo asked whether natural automorphisms of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces can be characterized by the fact that they preserve the exceptional divisor of non-reduced subschemes. Sasaki recently published…

We study the isospectral Hilbert scheme X_n, defined as the reduced fiber product of C^2n with the Hilbert scheme H_n of points in the plane, over the symmetric power S^n C^2. We prove that X_n is normal, Cohen-Macaulay, and Gorenstein, and…

Aganagic and Shakirov propose a refinement of the SU(N) Chern-Simons theory for links in three manifolds with S^1-symmetry, such as torus knots in S^3, based on deformation of the S and T matrices, originally found by Kirillov and…

We consider certain universal functors on symmetric quotient stacks of Abelian varieties. In dimension two, we discover a family of $\mathbb{P}$-functors which induce new derived autoequivalences of Hilbert schemes of points on Abelian…

We prove the algebraicity of the Hilbert functor, the Hilbert stack, the Quot functor and the stack of coherent sheaves on an algebraic stack X with (quasi-)finite diagonal without any finiteness assumptions on X. We also give similar…

We obtain a formula for the generating series of (the push-forward under the Hilbert-Chow morphism of) the Hirzebruch homology characteristic classes of the Hilbert schemes of points for a smooth quasi-projective variety of arbitrary pure…

In this PhD thesis, we give a new geometric approach to higher Teichm\"uller theory. In particular we construct a geometric structure on surfaces, generalizing the complex structure, and we explore its link to Hitchin components. The…

Motivated by the computation of the BPS-invariants on a local Calabi-Yau threefold suggested by S. Katz, we compute the Chow ring and the cohomology ring of the moduli space of stable sheaves of Hilbert polynomial $4m+1$ on the projective…

For certain tame abelian covers of arithmetic surfaces X/Y we obtain striking formulas, involving a quadratic form derived from intersection numbers, for the equivariant Euler characteristics of both the canonical sheaf !X/Y and also its…
