Let X be a smooth, connected, projective variety over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. In "Flat vector bundles and the fundamental group in non-zero characteristics" (Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa Cl. Sci. (4) 2…

A strong version of the quantization conjecture of Guillemin and Sternberg is proved. For a reductive group action on a smooth, compact, polarized variety (X,L), the cohomologies of L over the GIT quotient X // G equal the invariant part of…

We introduce a Brauer type algebra $B_G (\Upsilon) $ associated with every pseudo reflection group and every Coxeter group $G$. When $G$ is a Coxeter group of simply-laced type we show $B_G (\Upsilon)$ is isomorphic to the generalized…

We study generalized complex manifolds from the point of view of symplectic and Poisson geometry. We start by showing that every generalized complex manifold admits a canonical Poisson structure. We use this fact, together with Weinstein's…

Let A be the local ring at a point of a normal complex variety with completion R. Srinivas has asked about the possible images of the induced map from Cl A to Cl R over all geometric normal domains A with fixed completion R. We use…

Given a finite extension $K/k$ of number fields and a smooth quasi-projective variety $X$ over $K$. If the abelianized fundamental group of $X$ is trivial, we prove that there is a natural identification between Brauer-Manin sets of $X$ and…

For a prime $p$, we study subgroups of order p of the Brauer group Br(S) of a general complex polarized K3 surface of degree 2d, generalizing earlier work of van Geemen. These groups correspond to sublattices of index p of the…

We establish the following theorem of Bernstein type for the first Heisenberg group: Let S be a C^2 connected H-minimal surface which is a graph over some plane P, then S is either a non-characteristic vertical plane, or its generalized…

We present a conjecture (and a proof for G=SL(2)) generalizing a result of J. Arthur which expresses a character value of a cuspidal representation of a $p$-adic group as a weighted orbital integral of its matrix coefficient. It also…

We broadly generalise Mermin-type arguments on GHZ states, and we provide exact group-theoretic conditions for non-locality to be achieved. Our results are of interest in quantum foundations, where they yield a new hierarchy of…

In this paper, we prove the holomorphic convexity of the covering of a complex projective {normal} variety $X$, which corresponds to the intersection of kernels of reductive representations $\rho:\pi_1(X)\to {\rm GL}_{N}(\mathbb{C})$,…

Let X be a homogeneous space of a quasi-trivial k-group G, with geometric stabilizer H, over a number field k. We prove that under certain conditions on the character group of H, certain algebraic Brauer-Manin obstructions to the Hasse…

The local BRST cohomology of the gauged non-linear sigma model on a group manifold is worked out for any Lie group G. We consider both, the case where the gauge field is dynamical and the case where it has no kinetic term (G/G topological…

The central result here is an explicit computation of the Hochschild and cyclic homologies of a natural smooth subalgebra of stable continuous trace algebras having smooth manifolds X as their spectrum. More precisely, the Hochschild…

If E is a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over a global function field F of odd characteristic we show that certain Mordell-Weil groups of E have 1-dimensional eigenspace relative to a fixed complex ring class character provided that the…

We give a proof of the Breuil-Schneider conjecture in a large number of cases, which complement the indecomposable case, which we dealt with earlier in [Sor]. In some sense, only the Steinberg representation lies at the intersection of the…

Let $H$ be a Hopf algebra over a commutative ring $k$ with unity and $\sigma:H\otimes H\longrightarrow k$ be a cocycle on $H$. In this paper, we show that the Yetter-Drinfeld module category of the cocycle deformation Hopf algebra…

Let $A$ be a Noetherian domain and $R$ be a finitely generated $A$-algebra. We study several features regarding the generic freeness over $A$ of an $R$-module. For an ideal $I \subset R$, we show that the local cohomology modules ${\rm…

Let M be a real analytic manifold modeled on a locally convex space and K be a non-empty compact subset of M. We show that if an open neighborhood of K in M admits a complexification which is a regular topological space, then the germ of…

We prove that the Brauer group of the generic diagonal surface of arbitrary degree is trivial. The same method is applied to surfaces whose equation can be written as the sum of two bilinear forms. This uses a general criterion for the…
