Suppose $C$ is a smooth projective curve of genus 1 over a perfect field $F$, and $E$ is its Jacobian. In the case that $C$ has no $F$-rational points, so that $C$ and $E$ are not isomorphic, $C$ is an $E$-torsor with a class $\delta(C)\in…

A smooth scheme X over a field k of positive characteristic is said to be strongly liftable, if X and all prime divisors on X can be lifted simultaneously over W_2(k). In this paper, we give some concrete examples and properties of strongly…

For a smooth projective complex variety whose Albanese morphism is finite, we show that every Bridgeland stability condition on its bounded derived category of coherent sheaves is geometric, in the sense that all skyscraper sheaves are…

We prove that a bounded complex of coherent sheaves on an abelian variety A, whose Fourier-Mukai transform has support of dimension at most 1, extends to a perfect complex on the standard NC-smooth thickening of A and on the deformation…

We give the first examples of nef line bundles on smooth projective varieties over finite fields which are not semi-ample. More concretely, we find smooth curves on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields such that the normal bundle…

We prove that smooth 1-dimensional topological field theories over a manifold are equivalent to vector bundles with connection. The main novelty is our definition of the smooth 1-dimensional bordism category, which encodes cutting laws…

We study some properties of the characteristic cycle of a constructible complex on a smooth variety over a perfect field, push-forward and product.

Let f be a class P -homeomorphism of the circle. We prove that there exists a piecewise analytic homeomorphism that conjugate f to a one-class P with prescribed break points lying on pairwise distinct orbits. As a consequence, we give a…

Under mild hypotheses, given a scheme $U$ and an open subset $V$ whose complement has codimension at least two, the pushforward of a torsion-free coherent sheaf on $V$ is coherent on $U$. We prove an analog of this result in the context of…

We give the first examples of $\mathcal{O}$-acyclic smooth projective geometrically connected varieties over the function field of a complex curve, whose index is not equal to one. More precisely, we construct a family of Enriques surfaces…

We prove that existence of a k-rational point can be detected by the stable A^1-homotopy category of S^1-spectra, or even a "rationalized" variant of this category.

We address weak approximation for certain del Pezzo surfaces defined over the function field of a curve. We study the rational connectivity of the smooth locus of degree two del Pezzo surfaces with two A1 singularities in order to prove…

Let X be a complex projective variety of dimension n with only isolated normal singularities. In this paper we prove, using mixed Hodge theory, that if the link of each singular point of X is (n-2)-connected, then X is a formal topological…

We study the compatibility with proper push-forward of the characteristic cycles of a constructible complex on a smooth variety over a perfect field.

We prove that Axiom A is open and dense in the space of $C^1$ area contracting orientation-preserving embeddings on compact orientable surfaces with boundary. This settles the area contracting version of the {\em Smale's conjecture}…

Let $H$ be a group acting on a simply-connected diagrammatically reducible combinatorial 2-complex $X$ with fine 1-skeleton. If the fixed point set $X^ H$ is non-empty, then it is contractible. Having fine 1-skeleton is a weaker version of…

We study the problem of classifying projectivizations of rank-two vector bundles over ${\mathbb P}^2$ up to various notions of equivalence that arise naturally in ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory, namely ${\mathbb A}^1$-weak equivalence and…

We give an explicit formula for the zeroth $\mathbb{A}^1$-homology sheaf of a smooth proper variety. We also provide a simple proof of a theorem of Kahn-Sujatha which describes hom sets in the birational localization of the category of…

We prove that for any field k of characteristic p>0, any separated scheme X of finite type over k, and any overconvergent F-isocrystal E over X, the rigid cohomology H^i(X, E) and rigid cohomology with compact supports H^i_c(X,E) are finite…

We establish that smooth, geometrically integral projective varieties of small degree are not pointless in suitable solvable extensions of their field of definition, provided that this field is algebraic over $\Bbb Q$.
