Recently, motivated by supersymmetric gauge theory, Cachazo, Douglas, Seiberg, and Witten proposed a conjecture about finite dimensional simple Lie algebras, and checked it in the classical cases. We prove the conjecture for type G_2, and…

We reprove and generalize the result that the intersection cohomology groups of a toric variety with coefficient in a nontrivial rank one local system vanish. We prove a similar vanishing result for a certain class of varieties on which a…

We prove the Gersten conjecture for $p$-adic \'etale Tate twists for a smooth scheme $X$ in mixed characteristic in the Nisnevich topology. Our main observation is that, while $p$-adic \'etale Tate twists are not $\mathbb A^1$-invariant,…

A conjecture expressing genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants in mirror-theoretic terms of semi-simple Frobenius structures and complex oscillating integrals is formulated. The proof of the conjecture is given for torus-equivariant Gromov -…

We prove a rigid analytic analogue of the Artin vanishing theorem. Precisely, we prove (under mild hypotheses) that the geometric etale cohomology of any Zariski-constructible sheaf on any affinoid rigid space $X$ vanishes in all degrees…

We identify equivariant quasicoherent sheaves on the Grothendieck alteration of a reductive group $\mathsf{G}$ with universal monodromic Iwahori--Whittaker sheaves on the enhanced affine flag variety of the Langlands dual group $G$. This…

We use homological methods to establish a formal criterion for Generic Vanishing, in the sense originated by Green and Lazarsfeld and pursued further by Hacon and the first author, but in the context of an arbitrary Fourier-Mukai…

We prove finiteness results for sets of varieties over number fields with good reduction outside a given finite set of places using cyclic covers. We obtain a version of the Shafarevich conjecture for weighted projective surfaces, double…

As a sequel to our recent work on Casselman--Shahidi's holomorphicity conjecture on half-normalized intertwining operators for quasi-split classical groups, we modify our method, based on a lemma of Heiermann--Opdam, to prove certain cases…

We resolve the Grothendieck-Serre question over an arbitrary base field $k$: for a smooth $k$-group scheme $G$ and a smooth $k$-variety $X$, we show that every generically trivial $G$-torsor over $X$ trivializes Zariski semilocally on $X$.…

The $n$-dimensional affine Weyl-Heisenberg group is a Lie group typically parameterized as $G_{aWH} = \mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{R}^n \times \widehat{\mathbb{R}^n} \times \mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{R})$, generated by all translation, dilation,…

We give a Tannakian description for categories of l-adic perverse sheaves on semiabelian varieties which combines a construction of Gabber and Loeser for algebraic tori with a generic vanishing theorem for the cohomology of constructible…

Let $C$ be a curve and $L$ a very ample line bundle. The Green-Lazarsfeld Secant conjecture predicts that if the degree of $L$ is at least $2g+p+1-2h^1(C,L)-Cliff(C)$ and if, in addition, $L$ is $p+1$ very ample, then the Koszul group…

We study the arithmetic Fourier transforms of trace functions on general connected commutative algebraic groups. To do so, we first prove a generic vanishing theorem for twists of perverse sheaves by characters, and using this tool, we…

We prove appropriate generic vanishing theorems for singular varieties, generalizing the well-known generic vanishing theorem by Green and Lazarsfeld in [GL87] and the generic vanishing theorem of Nakano type in [PS13]. Our theorem explains…

Let $G$ be a smooth algebraic group over the field of rational functions of an excellent Dedekind scheme $S$ of equal characteristic $p>0.$ A N\'eron lft-model of $G$ is a smooth separated model $\mathscr{G} \to S$ of $G$ satisfying a…

We prove some new cases of the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture for classical groups. This is based on a new construction of the Gersten-Witt complex for Witt groups of Azumaya algebras with involution on regular semilocal rings, with explicit…

A Nakano-type generic vanishing result is extended from compact K\"ahler manifolds to manifolds in Fujiki class $\mathcal{C}$, so that smooth proper complex algebraic varieties are covered.

The Liebeck-Nikolov-Shalev conjecture [LNS12] asserts that, for any finite simple non-abelian group $G$ and any set $A\subseteq G$ with $|A|\geq 2$, $G$ is the product of at most $N\frac{\log|G|}{\log|A|}$ conjugates of $A$, for some…

We establish an optimal (topological) irreducibility criterion for $p$-adic Banach principal series of $\mathrm{GL}_{n}(F)$, where $F/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is finite and $n \le 3$. This is new for $n = 3$ as well as for $n = 2$, $F \ne…
