We provide a locally free resolution of the projectivized symmetric algebra of the ideal sheaf of a zero-dimensional scheme defined by n + 1 equations in an n-dimensional variety. The resolution is given in terms of the resolution of the…

We show that the zero locus of a normal function on a smooth complex algebraic variety S is algebraic provided that the normal function extends to a admissible normal function on a smooth compactification of S with torsion singularity. This…

We develop a valuation-theoretic framework for studying tangent cones of torsion-free sheaves on algebraic varieties. To analyze these objects, we introduce a slope stability theory, including the Harder-Narasimhan filtrations, for finitely…

We begin the systematic study of cohomological Hecke operators of modifications of coherent sheaves on a smooth surface $X$, along a fixed proper curve $Z \subset X$. We develop the necessary geometric foundations in order to define the…

Linear upper bounds are provided for the size of the torsion homology of negatively curved manifolds of finite volume in all dimensions $d\ne 3$. This extends a classical theorem by Gromov. In dimension $3$, as opposed to the Betti numbers,…

We give a purely algebraic construction of the continuous closure of any finitely generated torsion free module; a concept first studied by H.~Brenner and M.~Hochster. The construction implies that, at least in characteristic 0, taking…

The study of modules over a finite von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal A}$ can be advanced by the use of torsion theories. In this work, some torsion theories for ${\mathcal A}$ are presented, compared and studied. In particular, we prove that…

We prove that the cohomology of the integral structure sheaf of a normal affinoid adic space over a non-archimedean field of characteristic zero is uniformly torsion. This result originated from a remark of Bartenwerfer around the 1980s and…

We show that the cohomology of the structure sheaf of smooth and proper schemes over a complete non-archimedean field $K$ of characteristic zero, can be refined to an $\mathbf{A}^1$-invariant cohomology theory of smooth (not necessarily…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a $p$-adic field $K$ and $L$ an algebraic infinite extension over $K$. We consider the finiteness of the torsion part of the group of rational points $A(L)$ under some assumptions. In 1975, Hideo Imai…

Suppose $X$ is a smooth, proper, geometrically connected curve over $\mathbb F_q$ with an $\mathbb F_q$-rational point $x_0$. For any $\mathbb F_q^{\times}$-character $\sigma$ of $\pi_1(X)$ trivial on $x_0$, we construct a functor $\mathbb…

We study deformations of rational curves and their singularities in positive characteristic. We use this to prove that if a smooth and proper surface in positive characteristic $p$ is dominated by a family of rational curves such that one…

Let $G$ be the group of complex points of a real semi-simple Lie group whose fundamental rank is equal to 1, e.g. $G= \SL_2 (\C) \times \SL_2 (\C)$ or $\SL_3 (\C)$. Then the fundamental rank of $G$ is $2,$ and according to the conjecture…

We consider a proper morphism $X \to S$ and a locally closed immersion $S' \to S$ of discretely ringed adic spaces and prove proper base change for the tame topology in this setting. More precisely, we show that for an abelian $p$-torsion…

Recently, a method to compute the implicit equation of a parametrized hypersurface has been developed by the authors. We address here some questions related to this method. First, we prove that the degree estimate for the stabilization of…

Fix an integer $d>0$. In 2008, David and Weston showed that, on average, an elliptic curve over $\mathbf{Q}$ picks up a nontrivial $p$-torsion point defined over a finite extension $K$ of the $p$-adics of degree at most $d$ for only…

We study various topological invariants on a torsional geometry in the presence of a totally anti-symmetric torsion H under the closed condition dH = 0, which appears in string theory compactification scenarios. By using the identification…

We define geometric zeta functions for locally symmetric spaces as generalizations of the zeta functions of Ruelle and Selberg. As a special value at zero we obtain the Reidemeister torsion of the manifold. For hermitian spaces these zeta…

We prove that the torsion subgroup of the abelian fundamental group is finite for a regular geometrically integral projective variety over a local field. We also study the structure of $SK_1(X)$ for a regular projective variety $X$ over a…

We generalise Hinich's Theorem of descent of Deligne groupoids to the case where the dgLas involved have no negative cohomology. We apply this result to study the infinitesimal deformations of a morphism $\alpha: {\mathcal F} \to {\mathcal…
