Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over a finite field. We show that any algebraic $1$-cycle on $X$ is rationally equivalent to a smooth $1$-cycle, which is a $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination of smooth curves on $X$. We also…
In this note we give a numerical criterion that expresses the condition that an abelian variety be simple in terms of an invariant that is closely related to the s-invariant of Ein-Cutkosky-Lazarsfeld. The criterion yields new examples…
For a smooth morphism $f: X \longrightarrow \Sigma$ of real analytic manifolds and an $\mathbb{R}$-constructible sheaf $F$ on $X$ satisfying some condition, we define a family of Lagrangian cycles parameterized by $\Sigma$ that we call the…
Motivated by the theory of Inoue-type varieties, we give a structure theorem for projective manifolds $W_0$ with the property of admitting a 1-parameter deformation where $W_t$ is a hypersurface in a projective smooth manifold $Z_t$. Their…
We provide the first explicit examples of deformations of higher dimensional quadrics: a straightforward generalization of Peterson's explicit 1-dimensional family of deformations in $\mathbb{C}^3$ of 2-dimensional general quadrics with…
We give a general criterion for two toric varieties to appear as fibers in a flat family over the projective line. We apply this to show that certain birational transformations mapping a Laurent polynomial to another Laurent polynomial…
In this paper we construct a non-trivial element in the higher Griff{}iths group $Griff ^{3,2}$ for the generic abelian fourfold $A^4$ with polarization of type $(1,2,2,2)$. The key idea is to use that $A^4$ can be realized as a generalized…
Let $\pi\colon\mathcal{X}\to B$ be a family over a smooth connected analytic variety $B$, not necessarily compact, whose general fiber $X$ is smooth of dimension $n$, with irregularity $\geq n+1$ and such that the image of the canonical map…
As a generalization of a Calabi-Yau category, we will say a k-linear Hom-finite triangulated category is fractionally Calabi-Yau if it admits a Serre functor S and there is an n > 0 with S^n = [m]. An abelian category will be called…
Let X \subset Proj(V) be a projective spherical G-variety, where V is a finite dimensional G-module and G = SP(2n, C). In this paper, we show that X can be deformed, by a flat deformation, to the toric variety corresponding to a convex…
In this paper, we proved two results regarding the arithmetics of separably $\mathbb{A}^1$-connected varieties of rank one. First we proved over a large field, there is an $\mathbb{A}^1$-curve through any rational point of the boundary, if…
Suppose $\pi:W\to S$ is a smooth, proper morphism over a variety $S$ contained as a Zariski open subset in a smooth, complex variety $\bar S$. The goal of this note is to consider the question of when $\pi$ admits a regular, flat…
A Lie algebra is said to be quadratic if it admits a symmetric invariant and non-degenerated bilinear form. Semisimple algebras with the Killing form are examples of these algebras, while orthogonal subspaces provide abelian quadatric…
We show that a surface group contained in a reductive real algebraic group can be deformed to become Zariski dense, unless its Zariski closure acts transitively on a Hermitian symmetric space of tube type. This is a kind of converse to a…
The Griffiths group $\Gr^r(X)$ of a smooth projective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field is defined to be the group of homologically trivial algebraic cycles of codimension $r$ on $X$ modulo the subgroup of algebraically trivial…
Let $\cal A$ be a maximal (or more generally a hereditary) order in a central simple algebra over a global field $F$ of positive characteristic. We study the reduction of the modular scheme of $\cal A$-elliptic sheaves at all places of $F$.…
We prove some conditions for the existence of higher dimensional algebraic fibering of group extensions. This leads to various corollaries on incoherence of groups and some geometric examples of algebraic fibers of type $F_n$ but not…
We prove that the universal cover of a normal, projective variety X is quasi-projective if and only if a finite, \'etale cover of X is a fiber bundle over an Abelian variety with simply connected fiber.
We investigate the deformation of involution and multiplication in a unital $C^*$-algebra when its norm is fixed. Our main result is to present all multiplications and involutions on a given $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ under which…
For, $0<\lambda<1$, consider the transformation $T(x) = d x $ (mod 1) on the circle $S^1$, a $C^1$ function $A:S^1 \to \mathbb{R}$, and, the map $F(x,s) = ( T(x) , \lambda \, s + A(x))$, $(x,s)\in S^1 \times \mathbb{R}$. We denote…
