The idea of a finite collection of closed sets having "strongly regular intersection" at a given point is crucial in variational analysis. We show that this central theoretical tool also has striking algorithmic consequences. Specifically,…

We compute syntomic cohomology of semistable affinoids in terms of cohomology of $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules which, thanks to work of Fontaine-Herr, Andreatta-Iovita, and Kedlaya-Liu, is known to compute Galois cohomology of these affinoids.…

The goal of this note is to show that in the case of transversal intersections the "true local terms" appearing in the Lefschetz trace formula equal to the "naive local terms". To prove the result we extend the method of [Va], where the…

We prove that any geometrically connected curve $X$ over a field $k$ is an algebraic $K(\pi,1)$, as soon as its geometric irreducible components have nonzero genus. This means that the cohomology of any locally constant constructible…

We define a trace map for every cohomological correspondence in the motivic stable homotopy category over a general base scheme, which takes values in the twisted bivariant groups. Local contributions to the trace map give rise to quadratic…

We use former results on geometric local $\varepsilon$-factors over curves in order to prove a factorization result for the determinant of the cohomology of an $\ell$-adic sheaf over an arbitrary proper scheme over a perfect field of…

We define the exact category of contraherent cosheaves of contramodules on a locally Noetherian formal scheme, as well as the exact categories of locally contraherent cosheaves of contramodules (with respect to a given open covering). We…

We prove a differential analog of a theorem of Chevalley on extending homomorphisms for rings with commuting derivations, generalizing a theorem of Kac. As a corollary, we establish that, under suitable hypotheses, the image of a…

We develop a theory of residues for arithmetic surfaces, establish the reciprocity law around a point, and use the residue maps to explicitly construct the dualizing sheaf of the surface. These are generalisations of known results for…

We prove that all locally exposable points in a Stein compact in a complex space can be exposed along a given curve to a given real hypersurface. Moreover, the exposing map for a boundary point can be sufficiently close to the identity map…

This paper establishes the equivalence of the Aubin property and the strong regularity for generalized equations over $C^2$-cone reducible sets. This result resolves a long-standing question in variational analysis and extends the…

We study the asymptotic dynamics of maps which are piecewise contracting on a compact space. These maps are Lipschitz continuous, with Lipschitz constant smaller than one, when restricted to any piece of a finite and dense union of disjoint…

We prove that for any set $F$ of $n\ge 2$ pairwise disjoint open convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^3$, the connected components of the set of lines intersecting every member of $F$ are contractible. The same result holds for directed lines.

We prove that curve complexes of surfaces are finitely rigid: for every orientable surface S of finite topological type, we identify a finite subcomplex X of the curve complex C(S) such that every locally injective simplicial map from X…

We verify basic properties of the \'etale site of a `scheme with marking'. The coverings are \'etale coverings that split over all marked points. Familiar cases are the small \'etale site (no marking) and the Nisnevich site (all points are…

We give a framework to produce constructible functions from natural functors between categories, without need of a morphism of moduli spaces to model the functor. We show using the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence that any natural (derived)…

We introduce a notion of proper morphism for schematic finite spaces and prove the analogue of Grothendieck's finiteness theorem for it by means of the classic result for schemes and general descent arguments. This result also generalizes…

We prove that the cohomology of the integral structure sheaf of a normal affinoid adic space over a non-archimedean field of characteristic zero is uniformly torsion. This result originated from a remark of Bartenwerfer around the 1980s and…

This paper has two aims. The former is to give an introduction to our earlier work on the Hodge theory of algebraic maps and more generally to some of the main themes of the theory of perverse sheaves and to some of its geometric…

We show that every irreducible, simply connected curve on a toric affine surface X over the field of complex numbers is an orbit closure of a multiplicative group action on X. It follows that up to the action of the automorphism group…
