We prove some semipositivity theorems for singular varieties coming from graded polarizable admissible variations of mixed Hodge structure. As an application, we obtain that the moduli functor of stable varieties is semipositive in the…

We study torsors under finite group schemes over the punctured spectrum of a singularity $x\in X$ in positive characteristic. We show that the Dieudonn\'e module of the (loc,loc)-part $\mathrm{Picloc}^{\mathrm{loc},\mathrm{loc}}_{X/k}$ of…

We show that the inverse Serre functor for the constructible derived category $\mathbf{D}^\mathrm{b}_\mathrm{c}(\mathbb{P}^n)$ is given by the $\mathbb{P}$-twist at the simple perverse sheaf corresponding to the open stratum. Moreover, we…

Let $\pi: X \to Y$ be a morphism of projective varieties and suppose that $\alpha$ is a pseudo-effective numerical cycle class satisfying $\pi_*\alpha = 0$. A conjecture of Debarre, Jiang, and Voisin predicts that $\alpha$ is a limit of…

In a recent preprint, Ilse Fischer and Martina Kubitzke, proved the bilinearity of the Segre transform under some restricted hypothesis, motivated by their results we show in this paper the bilinearity of the Segre transform in general. We…

In previous work, we have introduced delta-forms on the Berkovich analytification of an algebraic variety in order to study smooth or formal metrics via their associated Chern delta-forms. In this paper, we investigate positivity properties…

Let A be a commutative noetherian ring. Call a functor <<commutative A-algebras>> --> <<sets>> coherent if it can be built up (via iterated finite limits) from functors of the form B \mapsto M tensor_A B, where M is a f.g. A-module. When…

Let M be a smooth and compact moduli space of stable coherent sheaves on a projective surface S with an effective (or trivial) anti-canonical line bundle. We find generators for the cohomology ring of M, with integral coefficients. When S…

We consider two classical extensions for singular varieties of the usual Chern classes of complex manifolds, namely the total Schwartz-MacPherson and Fulton-Johnson classes, $c^{SM}(X)$ and $c^{FJ}(X)$. Their difference (up to sign) is the…

We show that Kov\'acs' result on the cone of curves of a K3 surface generalizes to any projective irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold $X$. In particular, we show that if $\rho(X)\geq 3$, the pseudo-effective cone…

Moduli spaces of stable sheaves on smooth projective surfaces are in general singular. Nonetheless, they carry a virtual class, which -- in analogy with the classical case of Hilbert schemes of points -- can be used to define intersection…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$ whose tangent bundle is nef. We prove that $X$ admits a smooth morphism $X \to M$ such that the fibers are Fano varieties with…

The open projected Richardson varieties form a stratification for the partial flag variety $G/P$. We compare the Segre--MacPherson classes of open projected Richardson varieties with those of the corresponding affine Schubert cells by…

We prove the existence of many non-trivial characteristic classes of smooth oriented bundles with fibre a product $ S^{n}\times S^{n} $ of odd-dimensional spheres. We do so by proving injectivity of the map from the ring of rational…

We show that the Skolem Problem is decidable in finitely generated commutative rings of positive characteristic. More precisely, we show that there exists an algorithm which, given a finite presentation of a (unitary) commutative ring…

We introduce, on a topological space X, a class of stacks of abelian categories we call "stacks of type P." This class of stacks includes the stack of perverse sheaves (of any perversity, constructible with respect to a fixed…

The signature of closed oriented manifolds is well-known to be multiplicative under finite covers. This fails for Poincar\'e complexes as examples of C. T. C. Wall show. We establish the multiplicativity of the signature, and more…

We give a new formula for the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a hypersurface in a nonsigular compact complex analytic variety. In particular this formula generalizes our previous result on the Euler characteristic of such a hypersurface.…

The convolution powers of a perverse sheaf on an abelian variety define an interesting family of branched local systems whose geometry is still poorly understood. We show that the generating series for their generic rank is a rational…

The main aim of the paper is to provide analogues of Simpson's correspondence on singular projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. There are two main cases. In the first case, we consider…
