We study a local to global principle for certain higher zero-cycles over global fields. We thereby verify a conjecture of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene for these cycles. Our main tool are the Kato conjectures proved by Jannsen, Kerz and Saito. Our…

We study various examples of Calabi-Yau threefolds over finite fields. In particular, we provide a counterexample to a conjecture of K. Joshi on lifting Calabi-Yau threefolds to characteristic zero. We also compute the p-adic cohomologies…

A torsion free sheaf on a hyperk\"ahler variety $X$ is modular if the discriminant satisfies a certain condition, for example if it is a multiple of $c_2(X)$ the sheaf is modular. The definition is taylor made for torsion-free sheaves on a…

In this manuscript, it is shown that the group of $K_1$-zero-cycles on the second generalized Severi-Brauer variety of an algebra $A$ of index 4 is given by elements of the group $K_1(A)$ together with a square-root of their reduced norm.…

A deep result of Voisin asserts that the Griffiths group of a general non-rigid Calabi-Yau (CY) 3-fold is infinitely generated. This theorem builds on an earlier method of hers which was implemented by Albano and Collino to prove the same…

Given a smooth, proper family of varieties in characteristic $p>0$, and a cycle $z$ on a fibre of the family, we formulate a Variational Tate Conjecture characterising, in terms of the crystalline cycle class of $z$, whether $z$ extends…

Let X be a smooth quasi-projective variety over the algebraic closure of the rational number field. We show that the cycle map of the higher Chow group to Deligne cohomology is injective and the higher Hodge cycles are generated by the…

We show that the Chow group of 0-cycles on a singular projective scheme $X$ over a finite field describes the abelian extensions of its function field which are unramified over the regular locus of $X$. As a consequence, we obtain the…

We provide an alternative proof that the Chow group of $1$-cycles on a Severi--Brauer variety associated to a biquaternion division algebra is torsion-free. There are three proofs of this result in the literature, all of which are due to…

We show that Colliot-Th\'el\`ene's conjecture on 0-cycles of degree 1 implies finiteness for the u-invariant of the function field of a curve over a totally imaginary number field and period-index bounds for the Brauer groups of arbitrary…

We introduce quasi-BPS categories for twisted Higgs bundles, which are building blocks of the derived category of coherent sheaves on the moduli stack of semistable twisted Higgs bundles over a smooth projective curve. Under some condition…

We introduce a notion of vanishing Maslov index for lagrangian varifolds and lagrangian integral cycles in a Calabi-Yau manifold. We construct mass-decreasing flows of lagrangian varifolds and lagrangian cycles which satisfy this condition.…

We study noncompact Calabi-Yau threefolds, their moduli spaces of vector bundles and deformation theory. We present Calabi-Yau threefolds that have infinitely many distinct deformations, constructing them explicitily, and describe the…

Let \(X\subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1}\) be a smooth cubic hypersurface, and let \(F(X)\) be the variety of lines on \(X\). We prove the surjectivity of the cylinder maps on the Chow groups of \(F(X)\) and \(X\) if \(X\) contains a one-cycle of…

We develop a theory of nearby and vanishing cycles in the context of finite-coefficient Zariski-constructible sheaves over a non-archimedean field which is non-trivially valued, complete, algebraically closed, and of mixed characteristic or…

We prove the Feynman rule conjectured by Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa arXiv:hep-th/9309140 and the anomaly equations conjectured by Yamaguchi-Yau arXiv:hep-th/0406078 for the Gromov-Witten theory of the Calabi-Yau threefolds $Z_6 \subset…

In a recent paper, Moshe Jarden proposed a conjecture, later named the Kuykian conjecture, which states that if A is an abelian variety defined over a Hilbertian field K, then every intermediate field of K(A_{tor})/K is Hilbertian. We prove…

This paper is a detailed study of a class of isolated Gorenstein threefold singularities, called hyperconifolds, that are finite quotients of the conifold. First, it is shown that hyperconifold singularities arise naturally in limits of…

In this note we speculate about the structure of maximal product subvarieties in moduli stacks of Calabi-Yau manifolds. We discuss examples for quintic hypersurfaces in the four dimensional projective space.

Let $X$ be a hyperk\"ahler variety. Beauville has conjectured that a certain subring of the Chow ring of $X$ should inject into cohomology. This note proposes a similar conjecture for the ring of algebraic cycles on $X$ modulo algebraic…
