This paper has two objectives: we first generalize the theory of Abhyankar-Moh to quasi-ordinary polynomials, then we use the notion of approximate roots and that of generalized Newton polygons in order to prove the embedding conjecture for…
Let $U$ be an affine smooth curve defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. The Abhyankar Conjecture (proved by Raynaud and Harbater in 1994) describes the set of finite quotients of Grothendieck's \'etale…
The Abhyankar-Sathaye Problem asks whether any biregular embedding of affine spaces $A^m_k\to A^n_k$ can be rectified, that is, is equivalent to a linear embedding up to an automorphism of the target space. Here we study this problem for…
We give a simplified approach to the Abhyankar--Moh theory of approximate roots. Our considerations are based on properties of the intersection multiplicity of local curves.
For self-similar sets $X,Y\subseteq \mathbb{R}$, we obtain new results towards the affine embeddings conjecture of Feng-Huang-Rao (2014), and the equivalent weak intersections conjecture. We show that the conjecture holds when the defining…
We consider parahoric Bruhat-Tits group schemes over a smooth projective curve and torsors under them. If the characteristic of the ground field is either zero or positive but not too small and the generic fiber is absolutely simple and…
Let $f$ be a plane curve. We give a procedure based on Abhyankar's approximate roots to detect if it has a single place at infinity, and if so construct its associated $\delta$-sequence, and consequently its value semigroup. Also for fixed…
We solve the $K$-theoretically refined Donaldson-Thomas theory of local curves. Our results avoid degeneration techniques, but rather exploit direct localisation methods to reduce the refined Donaldson-Thomas partition function to the…
In the present paper, we study a purely inseparable counterpart of Abhyankar's conjecture for the affine line in positive characteristic, and prove its validity for all the finite local non-abelian simple group schemes in characteristic…
We study the properties of the fundamental group of an affine curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$, from the point of view of embedding problems. In characteristic zero, the fundamental group is free, but in…
Linear hypersurfaces over a field $k$ have been playing a central role in the study of some of the challenging problems on affine spaces. Breakthroughs on such problems have occurred by examining two difficult questions on linear…
Following Serre's initial work, a number of authors have considered twists of quadratic forms on a scheme Y by torsors of a finite group G, together with formulas for the Hasse-Witt invariants of the twisted form. In this paper we take the…
This text is a somewhat reformatted (e.g., some statements that were not as such in the original paper, are given the names "Corollary" or "Theorem.") translation of the old and practically inaccessible paper: P. Kuchment, On the question…
We study equivariant affine embeddings of homogeneous spaces and their equivariant automorphisms. An example of a quasiaffine, but not affine, homogeneous space with finitely many equivariant automorphisms is presented. We prove the…
We establish Poincar\'e embedding results in the relative setting, generalizing previously known results in the absolute case. Our primary motivation comes from applications to non-simply connected Poincar\'e surgery, which will be…
While the general question of whether every closed embedding of an affine line in affine $3$-space can be rectified remains open, there have been several partial results proved by several different means. We provide a new approach, namely…
We consider the space of embeddings of finitely many circles that bound disks in non-positively curved surfaces. We index the connected components of this space with finite rooted trees and show that the connected components are classifying…
We characterize embeddability of algebraic varieties into smooth toric varieties and prevarieties. Our embedding results hold also in an equivariant context and thus generalize a well known embedding theorem of Sumihiro on quasiprojective…
We prove an analogue for Stokes torsors of Deligne's skeleton conjecture and deduce from it the representability of the functor of relative Stokes torsors by an affine scheme of finite type over C. This provides, in characteristic 0, a…
Let $X:=\mathbb{A}^{n}_{R}$ be the $n$-dimensional affine space over a discrete valuation ring $R$ with fraction field $K$. We prove that any pointed torsor $Y$ over $\mathbb{A}^{n}_{K}$ under the action of an affine finite type group…
