Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We exhibit a counterexample against a theorem asserted in one of our earlier papers, which claims to characterize the integral closure of K((t)) within the field of…

A finite dimensional filiform K-Lie algebra is a nilpotent Lie algebra g whose nil index is maximal, that is equal to dim g -1. We describe necessary and sufficient conditions for a filiform algebra over an algebraically closed field of…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero. We deal with the algebraic closure of the field of fractions of the ring of formal power series $K[[x_1,\ldots,x_r]]$, $r\geq 2$. More precisely, we view the latter as a subfield of an iterated…

Gorenstein projection plays a key role in birational geometry; the typical example is the linear projection of a del Pezzo surface of degree d to one of degree d-1, but variations on the same idea provide many of the classical and modern…

For an ordinary K3 surface over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic we show that every automorphism lifts to characteristic zero. Moreover, we show that the Fourier-Mukai partners of an ordinary K3 surface are in…

In this article we use our constructions from "Enlargements of Categories" (Theory and Applications of Categories, 14:357-398) to lay down some foundations for the application of A. Robinson's nonstandard methods to modern Algebraic…

We show that non-flatness of a morphism f of complex-analytic spaces with a locally irreducible target Y of dimension n manifests in the existence of vertical components in the n-fold fibred power of the pull-back of f to the…

We analyze the deformation theory of equivariant vector bundles. In particular, we provide an effective criterion for verifying whether all infinitesimal deformations preserve the equivariant structure. As an application, using rigidity of…

We define normalized versions of Berkovich spaces over a trivially valued field $k$, obtained as quotients by the action of $\mathbb R_{>0}$ defined by rescaling semivaluations. We associate such a normalized space to any special formal…

We show the existence of group-theoretic sections of certain geometrically pro-nilpotent by abelian arithmetic fundamental groups of hyperbolic curves over p-adic local fields which are non-geometric, i.e., which do not arise from rational…

We use tools of additive combinatorics for the study of subvarieties defined by {\it high rank} families of polynomials in high dimensional $\mathbb{F} _q$-vector spaces. In the first, analytic part of the paper we prove a number properties…

In this paper we investigate locally nilpotent derivations on the polynomial algebra in three variables over a field of characteristic zero. We introduce an iterating construction giving all locally nilpotent derivations of rank $2$. This…

Motivated by the cohomology theory of loop spaces, we consider a special class of higher order homotopy commutative differential graded algebras and construct the filtered Hirsch model for such an algebra $A$. When $x\in H(A)$ with…

In this article, we estimate the density of the set of primes $p$ such that the $p$-th Hecke eigenvalue of an Ikeda lift is divisible by a fixed positive integer. One of the main ingredients involves the study of abelian subfields of fixed…

We extend and generalize the results of Scheiderer (2006) on the representation of polynomials nonnegative on two-dimensional basic closed semialgebraic sets. Our extension covers some situations where the defining polynomials do not…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a characteristic-zero lifting of an object in positive characteristic by means of ``skeletons''. Using this notion, we relate invariants of singularities in positive characteristic to their…

We study isolated quotient singularities by finite and linearly reductive group schemes (lrq singularities for short) and show that they satisfy many, but not all, of the known properties of finite quotient singularities in characteristic…

We study identities of Lie superalgebras over a field of characteristic zero. We construct a series of examples of finite-dimensional solvable Lie superalgebras with a non-nilpotent commutator subalgebra for which PI-exponent of codimension…

The global analogue of a Henselian local ring is a Henselian pair: a ring A and an ideal I which satisfy a condition resembling Hensel's lemma regarding lifting coprime factorizations of polynomials over A/I to factorizations over A. The…
