Following Lusztig and Vogan, we study the Bruhat $G$-order on the set $\mathcal{D}$ of rank $1$ local systems on $B$-orbits over an Hermitian symmetric variety $G/L$. The main aim is to give a combinatorial characterization similar to the…

We study the $a$-sequence $(a_0(G), a_1(G), \cdots)$ of a finite simple graph $G$, defined recursively through a combinatorial rule and known to coincide with the sequence of rational Betti numbers of the real toric variety associated with…

We determine the codimension of the Betti strata of the family G(H) parametrizing graded Artinian quotients A of the polynomial ring R in two variables, having Hilbert function H. The Betti stratum G(B,H) parametrizes all such quotients…

A vector space A of matrices is called rank-critical if any vector space that properly contains A has a strictly higher generic rank. I present a sufficient condition for A to be rank-critical, and apply this condition to prove that certain…

For an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $F$, we prove that the average rank of the quadratic twists of $A$ is bounded, under the assumption that the multiplication-by-3 isogeny on $A$ factors as a composition of 3-isogenies over $F$.…

In this paper, we consider the problem of computing the rank of a block-structured symbolic matrix (a generic partitioned matrix) $A = (A_{\alpha \beta} x_{\alpha \beta})$, where $A_{\alpha \beta}$ is a $2 \times 2$ matrix over a field…

Let A be a complex abelian variety and G its Mumford--Tate group. Supposing that the simple abelian subvarieties of A are pairwise non-isogenous, we find a lower bound for the rank of G, which is a little less than log_2 dim A. If we…

We give a complete description of the cone of Betti diagrams over a standard graded hypersurface ring of the form k[x,y]/<q>, where q is a homogeneous quadric. We also provide a finite algorithm for decomposing Betti diagrams, including…

Let $C$ be a nonsingular irreducible projective curve of genus $g\ge2$ defined over the complex numbers. Suppose that $1\le n'\le n-1$ and $n'd-nd'=n'(n-n')(g-1)$. It is known that, for the general vector bundle $E$ of rank $n$ and degree…

Let $G$ be a connected and simple graph on the vertex set $[n]$. To the graph $G$ one can associate the generalized binomial edge ideal $J_{m}(G)$ in the polynomial ring $R=K[x_{ij}: i \in [m], j \in [n]]$. We provide a lower bound for the…

Let $\bar{G} = (G, \omega)$ be a vertex-weighted graph, and $\delta$ a divisor class on $G$. Let $r_{\bar{G}}(\delta)$ denote the combinatorial rank of $\delta$. Caporaso has introduced the algebraic rank…

Consider a fibered power of an elliptic surface. We characterize its subvarieties that contain a Zariski dense set of points that are torsion points in fibers with complex multiplication. This result can be viewed as a mix of the…

Here we prove some special cases of the following conjecture: that the sum of the Betti numbers of a 1-connected elliptic space is greater than the total rank of its homotopy groups. Our main tool is Sullivan's minimal model.

Let G be a linear algebraic group defined over a field k. We prove that, under mild assumptions on k and G, there exists a finite k-subgroup S of G such that the natural map H^1(K, S) -> H^1(K, G) is surjective for every field extension…

We prove certain optimal systolic inequalities for a closed Riemannian manifold (X,g), depending on a pair of parameters, n and b. Here n is the dimension of X, while b is its first Betti number. The proof of the inequalities involves…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a number field $F$, and suppose that $\mathbb Z[\zeta_n]$ embeds in $\mathrm{End}_{\bar F} A$, for some root of unity $\zeta_n$ of order $n = 3^m$. Assuming that the Galois action on the finite group…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety of dimension $n$ and $G$ an abelian group of automorphisms such that all elements of $G\setminus \{\mathrm{id}\}$ are of positive entropy. Dinh and Sibony showed that $G$ is actually free abelian of…

We investigate Selmer groups of Jacobians of curves that admit an action of a non-trivial group of automorphisms, and give applications to the study of the parity of Selmer ranks. Under the Shafarevich--Tate conjecture, we give an…
