Let $\mathcal{G}^{(\lambda)}$ be a group scheme which deforms $\mathbb{G}_a$ to $\mathbb{G}_m$. We explicitly describe the Cartier dual of the $l$-th Frobenius type kernel $N_l$ of the group scheme $\mathcal{E}^{(\lambda,\mu;D)}$ which is…

In the present paper we continue to examine cellular covers of groups, focusing on the cardinality and the structure of the kernel K of the cellular map G-> M . We show that in general a torsion free reduced abelian group M may have a…

We start with a small paradigm shift about group representations, namely the observation that restriction to a subgroup can be understood as an extension-of-scalars. We deduce that, given a group $G$, the derived and the stable categories…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $\Gamma$ be an infinite discrete group. The algebraic $K$-theory of the group ring $R[\Gamma]$ is an important object of computation in geometric topology and number theory. When the group ring is…

For any connected reductive group $G$ over $\mathbb{C}$, we revisit Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson's description of the torus equivariant Borel-Moore homology of affine Springer fibers $\mathrm{Sp}_\gamma\subset \mathrm{Gr}_G$, where…

We introduce the category of finite \'etale covers of an arbitrary schematic finite space $X$ and show that, equipped with an appropriate natural fiber functor, it is a Galois Category. This allows us to define the \'etale fundamental group…

We define here an analogue, for a semi-stable group scheme whose generic fiber is an abelian variety, of M. J. Taylor's class-invariant homomorphism (defined for abelian schemes), and we give a geometric description of it. Then we extend a…

In this paper, we describe Galois covers of algebraic curves and their families by using local systems associated to push-forward of sheaves by the structure morphism. More precisely, if $f:C\to Y$, we consider the sheaves $f_*(\C)$. The…

In very rough terms, the main theorem is that the set, which consists of semistable vector bundles with trivial rational Chern classes and nontrivial kth cohomology on a smooth complex projective variety, is a degeneration of a union of…

We show in this paper that the set of irreducible components of the family of Galois coverings of P^1_C with Galois group isomorphic to D_n is in bijection with the set of possible numerical types. In this special case the numerical type is…

We investigate torsion elements in the kernel of the map on divisor class groups of excellent local normal domains A and A/I, for an ideal I of finite projective dimension. The motivation for this work is a result of Griffith-Weston which…

Let S be a connected, compact and orientable surface of genus two having exactly one boundary component. We study automorphisms of the Torelli complex for S, and describe any isomorphism between finite index subgroups of the Torelli group…

Let $A$ be a commutative ring, and assume every non-trivial ideal of $A$ has finite-index. We show that if ${\rm{SL}}_n(A)$ has bounded elementary generation then every conjugation-invariant norm on it is either discrete or precompact. If…

Given an integer $N \geq 3$, we prove that for any ring $R$ and any finite locally free $R$-group scheme $G$ which is fppf-locally (over $R$) isomorphic the $N$-torsion subscheme of some elliptic curve $E/R$, there is a smooth affine curve…

In this paper we initiate the study of racks from the combined perspective of combinatorics and finite group theory. A rack R is a set with a self-distributive binary operation. We study the combinatorics of the partially ordered set {\cal…

Let $\mathcal{G}=\mathrm{Spec}(A)$ be a finite and flat group scheme over the ring of algebraic integers $R$ of a number field $K$ and suppose that the generic fiber of $\mathcal{G}$ is the constant group scheme over $K$ for a finite group…

In this note, adopting the pullback formalism of global Finsler geometry, we show by a counterexample that the kernel $\text{Ker}_R$ of the h-curvature $R$ of Cartan connection and the associated nullity distribution $\N_R$ do not coincide,…

Consider a smooth projective surface $S$. Consider a fibration $S\to C$ where $C$ is a quasi-projective curve such the fibers are smooth projective curves. The aim of this text is to show that the kernels of the push-forward homomorphism…

Let S be a Noetherian scheme and f:X -> S a proper morphism. By SGA 4 XIV, for any constructible sheaf F of Z/nZ-modules on X, the sheaves of Z/nZ-modules R^if_*F obtained by direct image (for the etale topology) are also constructible:…

For $k$ a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$ and $G/k$ a split reductive group with $p$ a non-torsion prime for $G,$ we compute the mod $p$ motivic cohomology of the geometric classifying space $BG_{(r)}$, where $G_{(r)}$ is the $r$th…
