One version of the classical Lefschetz hyperplane theorem states that for $U \subset \mathbb P^n$ a smooth quasi-projective variety of dimension at least $2$, and $H \cap U$ a general hyperplane section, the resulting map on \'etale…

We prove the Relative Hard Lefschetz theorem and the Relative Hodge-Riemann bilinear relations for combinatorial intersection cohomology sheaves on fans.

In this paper, we investigate Murre's conjectures on the structure of rational Chow groups and exhibit explicit Chow--Kuenneth projectors for some examples. More precisely, the examples we study are the varieties which have a nef tangent…

In [Baumeister, H., Nill, Paffenholz, On permutation polytopes, Adv. Math. 222 (2009), 431-452 / arXiv:0709.1615] we conjectured a characterization of subgroups H of a permutation group G so that, on the level of permutation polytopes, P(H)…

Let $S$ be a complex projective surface. Lefschetz originally proved Lefschetz $(1, 1)$--Theorem by studying a Lefschetz pencil of hyperplane sections of $S$ and the Abel--Jacobi mapping. In this paper, we attack Lefschetz $(1, 1)$--Theorem…

We propose a strengthening of the Grothendieck--Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for the local Picard group, prove some special cases and derive several consequences to the deformation theory of log canonical singularities. Version 2: Main…

This paper deals with the generalization of usual round spheres in the flat Minkowski spacetime to the case of a generic four-dimensional spacetime manifold $M$. We consider geometric properties of sphere-like submanifolds in $M$ and…

We study the properties of the multiplicative structure on valuations on convex sets. We prove a new version of the hard Lefschetz theorem for even translation invariant continuous valuations, and discuss related problems of integral…

We formulate a conjectural Lefschetz formula for locally symmetric spaces of finite volume. The formula can be verified in the compact case and for Riemann surfaces.

We construct families of circles in the plane such that their tangency graphs have arbitrarily large girth and chromatic number. This provides a strong negative answer to Ringel's circle problem (1959). The proof relies on a…

We establish a version of the complex Frobenius theorem in the context of a complex subbundle S of the complexified tangent bundle of a manifold, having minimal regularity. If the subbundle S defines the structure of a Levi-flat…

We develop an extension of the original Reiss-Frisch-Lebowitz scaled particle theory that can serve as a predictive method for the hard sphere pair correlation function g(r). The reversible cavity creation work is analyzed both for a single…

This article will explore the K- and L-theory of group rings and their applications to algebra, geometry and topology. The Farrell-Jones Conjecture characterizes K- and L-theory groups. It has many implications, including the Borel and…

We show a closed Bach-flat Riemannian manifold with a fixed positive constant scalar curvature has to be locally spherical if its Weyl and traceless Ricci tensors are small in the sense of either $L^\infty$ or $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$-norm.…

The study of the Lefschetz properties of Artinian graded algebras was motivated by the hard Lefschetz theorem for a smooth complex projective variety, a breakthrough in algebraic topology and geometry. Over the last few years, this topic…

We prove a Noether--Lefschetz-type result for certain linear systems on a projective threefold with isolated singularities.

We introduce the notion of lef line bundles on a complex projective manifold. We prove that lef line bundles satisfy the Hard Lefschetz Theorem, the Lefschetz Decomposition and the Hodge-Riemann Bilinear Relations. We study proper…

Friedlander and Mazur proposed a conjecture of hard Lefschetz type on Lawson homology. We shall relate this conjecture to Suslin conjecture on Lawson homology. For abelian varieties, this conjecture is shown to be equivalent to a vanishing…

The Hard Lefschetz theorem for intersection cohomology of nonrational polytopes was recently proved by K. Karu [Ka]. This theorem implies the conjecture of R. Stanley on the unimodularity of the generalized $h$-vector. In this paper we…

We introduce Artinian Gorenstein algebras defined by the face posets of regular polyhedra. We consider the strong Lefschetz property and Hodge--Riemann relation for the algebras. We show the strong Lefschetz property of the algebras for all…
