Generalizing the continuous rank function of Barja-Pardini-Stoppino, in this paper we consider cohomological rank functions of $\mathbb Q$-twisted (complexes of) coherent sheaves on abelian varieties. They satisfy a natural transformation…
Explicit formulas determining the dimension and the degree of the singular subscheme of hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb P}^n$ are given in terms of the graded Betti numbers of the minimal free resolution of the corresponding Jacobian algebra.…
For an abelian variety $A$ over a finitely generated field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$, we prove that the algebraic rank of $A$ is at most a suitably defined analytic rank. Moreover, we prove that equality, i.e., the BSD rank conjecture,…
We study parabolic automorphisms of irreducible holomorphically symplectic manifolds with a lagrangian fibration. Such automorphisms are (possibly up to taking a power) fiberwise translations on smooth fibers, and their orbits in a general…
We study the analytic and topological invariants associated with complex normal surface singularities. Our goal is to provide topological formulae for several discrete analytic invariants whenever the analytic structure is generic (with…
Let $X(\RR)$ be a geometrically connected variety defined over $\RR$ and such that the set of all its (also complex) points $X(\CC)$ is non-degenerate. We introduce the notion of \emph{admissible rank} of a point $P$ with respect to $X$ to…
Let $A$ be an abelian scheme over a smooth affine complex variety $S$, $\varOmega_A$ the $\sO_S$-module of $1$-forms of the first kind on $A$, $\sD_S\varOmega_A$ the $\sD_S$-module spanned by $\varOmega_A$ in the first algebraic De Rham…
Motivated by the study of decompositions of tensors as Hadamard products (i.e., coefficient-wise products) of low-rank tensors, we introduce the notion of Hadamard rank of a given point with respect to a projective variety: if it exists, it…
We produce explicit elliptic curves over \Bbb F_p(t) whose Mordell-Weil groups have arbitrarily large rank. Our method is to prove the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer for these curves (or rather the Tate conjecture for related…
Let $G$ be a graph with adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and let $D(G)$ be the diagonal matrix of the degrees of $G$. For every real $\alpha\in\left[ 0,1\right],$ define the matrix $A_{\alpha}\left(G\right) $ as \[ A_{\alpha}\left(G\right) =\alpha…
In this work, we prove a quantitative version of the prime-to-$p$ Manin--Mumford conjecture for varieties with ample cotangent bundle. More precisely, let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $F$, and let $X$ be a smooth…
We prove a special case of the following conjecture of Zilber-Pink generalising the Manin-Mumford conjecture : let $X$ be a curve inside an Abelian variety $A$ over $\bar{\Q}$, provided $X$ is not contained in a torsion subvariety, the…
In analogy with the Manin-Mumford conjecture for algebraic curves, one may ask how a metric graph under the Abel-Jacobi embedding intersects torsion points of its Jacobian. We show that the number of torsion points is finite for metric…
A metric graph is a geometric realization of a finite graph by identifying each edge with a real interval. A divisor on a metric graph $\Gamma$ is an element of the free abelian group on $\Gamma$. The rank of a divisor on a metric graph is…
We introduce and survey a Betti form of the geometric Langlands conjecture, parallel to the de Rham form developed by Beilinson-Drinfeld and Arinkin-Gaitsgory, and the Dolbeault form of Donagi-Pantev, and inspired by the work of…
This note quantifies, via a sharp inequality, an interplay between (a) the characteristic rank of a vector bundle over a topological space X, (b) the Z/2Z-Betti numbers of X, and (c) sums of the numbers of certain partitions of integers. In…
We study the topology of the set X of the solutions of a system of two quadratic inequalities in the real projective space RP^n (e.g. X is the intersection of two real quadrics). We give explicit formulae for its Betti numbers and for those…
We study the Betti map of a particular (but relevant) section of the family of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves using the polynomial Pell equation $A^2-DB^2=1$, with $A,B,D\in \mathbb C[t]$ and certain ramified covers ${\mathbb P}^1\to…
Consider a very general abelian variety $A$ of dimension at least $3$ and an integer $0<d\leq \dim A$. We show that if the map $A^k\to CH_0(A)$ has a $d$-dimensional fiber then $k\geq d+(\dim A+1)/2$. This extends results of the…
We consider the open problem of determining the graded Betti numbers for fat point subschemes supported at general points of the projective plane. We relate this problem to the open geometric problem of determining the splitting type of the…
