We consider local Gorenstein duality for cochain spectra $C^*(BG;R)$ on the classifying spaces of compact Lie groups $G$ over complex orientable ring spectra $R$. We show that it holds systematically for a large array of examples of ring…

Let H be a homology theory for algebraic varieties over a field k. To a complete k-variety X, one naturally attaches an ideal of the coefficient ring H(k). We show that, when X is regular, this ideal depends only on the upper Chow motive of…

Let $B$ denote the upper triangular subgroup of $SL_2(C)$, $T$ its diagonal torus and $U$ its unipotent radical. A complex projective variety $Y$ endowed with an algebraic action of $B$ such that the fixed point set $Y^U$ is a single point,…

This paper gives an elementary proof of an improved version of the algebraic Local B\'ezout Theorem (given by the authors in JSC 45 (2010) 975--985). Here we remove some ad hoc hypotheses and obtain an optimal algebraic version of the…

By a $B$-regular variety, we mean a smooth projective variety over $C$ admitting an algebraic action of the upper triangular Borel subgroup $B \subset SL_2(C)$ such that the unipotent radical in $B$ has a unique fixed point. A result of M.…

We prove the existence of noncrossed product and indecomposable division algebras over the function field of a smooth p-adic curve, especially when the curve does not admit a smooth model over Z_p. Thus we generalize arXiv 0907.0670. To…

We give a generalization of Gabriel's Theorem on coherent sheaves to the case of coherent twisted sheaves on a smooth variety X over a field k. We show that the category Coh(X,\alpha) determines the scheme structure of X for \alpha in the…

Generalized complex geometry, as developed by Hitchin, contains complex and symplectic geometry as its extremal special cases. In this thesis, we explore novel phenomena exhibited by this geometry, such as the natural action of a B-field.…

Fix an $I$-adically complete Noetherian ring $A$ and suppose $X$ is a proper $A$-scheme. This article concerns the relationship between the Brauer group of $X$ and that of the various $X_n$ where $X_n$ is the fiber over $A/I^{n+1}$. In…

In this paper we outline a recent construction of a Chern-Weil isomorphism for the equivariant Brauer group of $\mathbb R^n$ actions on a principal torus bundle, where the target for this isomorphism is a "dimensionally reduced" \vCech…

The subject of the present paper is Grothendieck's Lefschetz standard conjecture $B(X)$. Our main result is that, if $X$ is a projective smooth variety of dimension $n$ and the conjecture $B({\cal Y})$ holds for the generic fibre ${\cal Y}$…

We extend an argument of S.Lichtenbaum involving codimension one cycles to higher codimensions and obtain a generalization of the well-known Picard-Brauer exact sequence for a smooth variety X. The resulting exact sequence connects the…

We present a method for calculating the Brauer group of a surface given by a diagonal equation in the projective space. For diagonal quartic surfaces with coefficients in Q we determine the Brauer groups over Q and Q(i).

Let R be an unramified regular local ring of mixed characteristic, D an Azumaya R-algebra, K the fraction field of R, Nrd the reduced norm homomorphism for the Azumaya R-algebra D. Let a be a unit in R. It is proved the following: suppose…

In this note we define a subgroup $H^i_{nr,\pi}$ of unramified cohomology group $H^i_{nr}$ of a fibration $\pi:X\to S$. This subgroup can be used efficiently in refined specialization arguments and allows to detect the failure of stable…

If H is a commutative connected graded Hopf algebra over a commutative ring k, then a certain canonical k-algebra homomorphism H -> H (x) QSym is defined, where QSym denotes the Hopf algebra of quasisymmetric functions over k. This…

We study torsors under finite group schemes over the punctured spectrum of a singularity $x\in X$ in positive characteristic. We show that the Dieudonn\'e module of the (loc,loc)-part $\mathrm{Picloc}^{\mathrm{loc},\mathrm{loc}}_{X/k}$ of…

Let $X$ be a second countable locally compact Abelian group. We prove some group analogues of the Skitovich--Darmois, Heyde and Kac--Bernstein characterisation theorems for $Q$-independent random variables taking values in the group $X$.…

Motivated by a 1993 conjecture of Stanley and Stembridge, Shareshian and Wachs conjectured that the characteristic map takes the dot action of the symmetric group on the cohomology of a regular semisimple Hessenberg variety to $\omega…
