We study the weak Lefschetz property of artinian Gorenstein algebras and in particular of artinian complete intersections. In codimension four and higher, it is an open problem whether all complete intersections have the weak Lefschetz…

A good way of parametrizing 0-dimensional schemes in an affine space $\mathbb{A}_K^n$ has been developed in the last 20 years using border basis schemes. Given a multiplicity $\mu$, they provide an open covering of the Hilbert scheme ${\rm…

We establish a non-Archimedean analogue of Koksma's theorem. For a local field F of characteristic zero, we prove that the sequence ([{\alpha}x^n]) is uniformly distributed in the valuation ring O for almost every x with |x|_p>1. In the…

We classify pointed $p^3$-dimensional Hopf algebras $H$ over any algebraically closed field $k$ of prime characteristic $p>0$. In particular, we focus on the cases when the group $G(H)$ of group-like elements is of order $p$ or $p^2$, that…

We prove that every local derivation on a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is a derivation. We also give examples of finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras $\mathcal{L}$…

This article concerns commutative algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero which are finite dimensional as vectorspaces, and particularly those of such algebras which are graded. Here the term graded is applied to non-negatively…

Let $K$ be a finitely generated field. We construct an $n$-dimensional linear system $\mathcal{L}$ of hypersurfaces of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$ defined over $K$ such that each member of $\mathcal{L}$ defined over $K$ is smooth, under…

Given $\mathbb P^4_k$, with $k$ algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, and $X\subset \mathbb P^4_k$ integral surface of degree $d$, let $Y=X\cap H$ be the general hyperplane section of $X$. We suppose that $h^0\mathscr…

Studies among other things, the question of whether a Lie algebra over Z/(p^k)Z lifts to one over Z/(p^(k+1))Z. An obstruction theory is developed and examples of Fp-Lie algebras which don't lift to Lie algebras over Z/p^2Z are discussed.…

Let $G$ be a simple simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$, with Frobenius kernel $G_{(1)}$. It is known that when $p\ge 2h-2$, where $h$ is the Coxeter number of $G$, the projective…

Consider a standard graded artinian $k$-algebra $B$ and an extension of $B$ by a new variable, $A=B\otimes_k k[x]/(x^d)$ for some $d\geq 1$. We will show how maximal rank properties for powers of a general linear form on $A$ can be…

Let k be a field and q a non-zero element of k. In Part I, we have exhibited a 6-dimensional k-algebra A = A(q) and we have shown that if q has infinite multiplicative order, then A has a 3-dimensional local module which is…

In this article, we study the $k$-Lefschetz properties for non-Artinian algebras, proving that several known results in the Artinian case can be generalized in this setting. Moreover, we describe how to characterize the graded algebras…

We show that a smooth scheme over a ring of Witt vectors cannot have a lift of the Frobenius if it has positive Kodaira dimension.

Given a 0-dimensional scheme in a projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a field $K$, we study the K\"ahler differential algebra $\Omega_{R/K}$ of its homogeneous coordinate ring $R$. Using explicit presentations of the modules…

Deligne showed that every K3 surface over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic admits a lift to characteristic 0. We show the same is true for a twisted K3 surface. To do this, we study the versal deformation spaces of…

Grothendieck's formal functions theorem states that the coherent cohomology of a Noetherian scheme can be recovered from that of a blowup and the infinitesimal thickenings of the center and of the exceptional divisor of the blowup. In this…

In this paper, we exploit some geometric-differential techniques to prove the strong Lefschetz property in degree $1$ for a complete intersection standard Artinian Gorenstein algebra of codimension $6$ presented by quadrics. We prove also…

Given a 0-dimensional scheme $\mathbb{X}$ in the projective $n$-space $\mathbb{P}^n_K$ over a field $K$, we are interested in studying the K\"ahler different of $\mathbb{X}$ and its applications. Using the K\"ahler different, we…
