Given a Galois \'etale map of varieties $\pi:Y\to X$ and an $\ell$-adic sheaf or derived category object $P\in D^b_c(Y,{\mathbb Q}_\ell)$, we study two cohomological operations: the tensor direct image and (in the case of perverse sheaves)…

In this note we survey recent results on the extrinsic geometry of the Jacobian locus inside $\mathsf{A}_g$. We describe the second fundamental form of the Torelli map as a multiplication map, recall the relation between totally geodesic…

We prove a non-archimedean analogue of the fact that a closed subvariety of a semi-abelian variety is hyperbolic modulo its special locus, and thereby generalize a result of Cherry.

We show that perverse character varieties are (quasi-)affine. We do this in a purely stack-theoretic fashion, by exhibiting enough sections of the structure sheaf.

This is an expanded version of the text ``Perverse Sheaves on Loop Grassmannians and Langlands Duality'', AG/9703010. The main new result is a topological realization of algebraic representations of reductive groups over arbitrary rings. We…

We provide a generalization of the Deligne sheaf construction of intersection homology theory, and a corresponding generalization of Poincar\'e duality on pseudomanifolds, such that the Goresky-MacPherson, Goresky-Siegel, and…

We introduce non-abelian cohomology sets of Hopf algebras with coefficients in Hopf modules. We prove that these sets generalize Serre's non-abelian group cohomology theory. Using descent techniques, we establish that our construction…

Chevalley's theorem states that every smooth connected algebraic group over a perfect field is an extension of an abelian variety by a smooth connected affine group. That fails when the base field is not perfect. We define a pseudo-abelian…

We study Severi type inequalities for big line bundles on irregular varieties via cohomological rank functions. We show that these Severi type inequalities on an irregular variety $X$ are related to some natural defined birational…

We propose a point of view on resurgence theory based on the study of perverse sheaves on the complex line carrying an algebraic structure with respect to additive convolution. In particular, we lift the concept of alien derivatives…

We show that the degree of Gauss maps on abelian varieties is semicontinuous in families, and we study its jump loci. As an application we obtain that in the case of theta divisors this degree answers the Schottky problem. Our proof…

We know that semi-regular sub-varieties satisfy the variational Hodge conjecture i.e., given a family of smooth projective varieties $\pi:\mathcal{X} \to B$, a special fiber $\mathcal{X}_o$ and a semi-regular subvariety $Z \subset…

Over complex numbers, the Fourier-Mukai partners of abelian varieties are well-understood. A celebrated result is Orlov's derived Torelli theorem. In this note, we study the FM-partners of abelian varieties in positive characteristic. We…
