Let $R$ be a hypersurface in an equicharacteristic or unramified regular local ring. For a pair of modules $(M,N)$ over $R$ we study applications of rigidity of $\Tor^R(M,N)$, based on ideas by Huneke, Wiegand and Jorgensen. We then focus…

From Smyth's classification, modular compactifications of pointed smooth rational curves are indexed by combinatorial data, so-called extremal assignments. We explore their combinatorial structures and show that any extremal assignment is a…

The Birkhoff conjecture says that the boundary of a strictly convex integrable billiard table is necessarily an ellipse. In this article, we consider a stronger notion of integrability, namely, integrability close to the boundary, and prove…

In this paper we present a new proof of the homological stability of the moduli space of closed surfaces in a simply connected background space $K$, which we denote by $S_g (K)$. The homology stability of surfaces in $K$ with an arbitrary…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $G$ be a non-trivial connected unipotent group, which acts effectively on an affine variety $X.$ Then every non-empty component $R$ of the set of fixed points of $G$ is a $K$-uniruled variety,…

Miyanishi proved that the ring of invariants of any $\mathbb{G}_a$ action on $\mathbb{A}^3$ is $\mathbb{A}^2$, when the field $k$ has zero characteristic. However, it is not known if this result holds when $k$ has positive characteristic.…

The main focus of this paper is on determining the highest non-vanishing local cohomology modules of \Omega_(B/R), \Omega_(B/V)(\Omega_(B/k)) where R is either a complete regular local ring or a complete local normal domain with coefficient…

We use wall-crossing in the Bridgeland stability manifold to systematically study the birational geometry of the moduli space $M_\sigma(\mathbf{v})$ of $\sigma$-semistable objects of class $\mathbf{v}$ for a generic stability condition…

We survey the basic theory of non-commutative K3 surfaces, with a particular emphasis to the ones arising from cubic fourfolds. We focus on the problem of constructing Bridgeland stability conditions on these categories and we then…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group with property $(T)$ of Kazhdan. We prove that any Riemannian isometric action of $\Gamma$ on a compact manifold $X$ is locally rigid. We also prove a more general foliated version of this result. The…

We prove birational rigidity and calculate the group of birational automorphisms of a nodal Q-factorial double cover $X$ of a smooth three-dimensional quadric branched over a quartic section. We also prove that $X$ is Q-factorial provided…

It is well-known that for a large class of local rings of positive characteristic, including complete intersection rings, the Frobenius endomorphism can be used as a test for finite projective dimension. In this paper, we exploit this…

We develop further basic tools in the theory of continuous bounded cohomology of locally compact groups. We apply this tools to establish a Milnor-Wood type inequality in a very general context and to prove a global rigidity result which…

Motivated by Arveson's conjecture, we introduce a notion of hyperrigidity for a partial order on the state space of a $C^*$-algebra $B$. We show how this property is equivalent to the existence of a boundary: a subset of the pure states…

Let $A$ be an integral $k$-algebra of finite type over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Given a collection ${\cal{D}}$ of $k$-derivations on $A$, that we interpret as algebraic vector fields on $X=Spec(A)$, we…

We prove that for N greater than or equal to 4, all smooth hypersurfaces of degree N in P^N are birationally superrigid. First discovered in the case N = 4 by Iskovskikh and Manin in a work that started this whole direction of research,…

We prove a generalization of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for Verdier-localizing functors by extending the proof for algebraic K-theory of spaces to the realm of stable $\infty$-categories. The formula behaves much better…

For any $(m,n)$-periodic higher spin six-vertex configuration $\mathscr{L}$, we construct a one-parameter family $\Delta_\xi$ of pseudo-unitarizable representations of the corresponding noncommutative fiber product…

We introduce a notion of K-stability for adjoint foliated structures via test configurations and the foliated Donaldson-Futaki invariant. We prove reduction to special test configurations for adjoint Fano foliated structures by showing that…

We show the birational boundedness of anti-canonical irreducible hypersurfaces which form 3-fold plt pairs. We also treat a collection of Du Val K3 surfaces which is birationally bounded but unbounded.
