We prove a version of the Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for fppf cohomology with coefficients in any finite commutative group scheme over the ground field. As consequences, we establish new Lefschetz results for the Picard scheme.

Using a new estimate for the Peng-Terng invariant and the multiple-parameter method, we verify a rigidity theorem on the stronger version of Chern Conjecture for minimal hypersurfaces in spheres. More precisely, we prove that if $M$ is a…

The prime geodesic theorem for regular geodesics in a higher rank locally symmetric space is proved. An application to class numbers is given. The proof relies on a Lefschetz formula that is based on work of Andreas Juhl.

After Chern's conjecture on the discreteness of the constant scalar curvatures of compact minimal submanifolds $M^n$ in unit spheres $\mathbb{S}^{n+q}$, Z. Q. Lu proposed a conjecture regarding the second gap, based on his ingenious…

We discuss the distribution of the spectrum at infinity of a convenient and nondegenerate Laurent polynomial (singularity side) and the distribution of the Newton spectrum of a polytope (Ehrhart theory side). To this end, we study a hard…

In this paper, we prove a Lefschetz-Riemann-Roch theorem for singular projective schemes which admit diagonalisable group scheme actions, this result generalizes P. Baum, W. Fulton and G. Quart's Lefschetz-Riemann-Roch theorem for singular…

The classical Lefschetz fixed point theorem states that the number of fixed points, counted with multiplicity $\pm 1$, of a smooth map $f$ from a manifold $M$ to itself can be calculated as the alternating sum $\sum (-1)^k \textrm{ tr }…

First, we shall formulate and prove Theorem of Lie-Kolchin type for a cone and derive some algebro-geometric consequences. Next, inspired by a recent result of Dinh and Sibony we pose a conjecture of Tits type for a group of automorphisms…

In 1967, Gr\"unmbaum conjectured that any $d$-dimensional polytope with $d+s\leq 2d$ vertices has at least \[\phi_k(d+s,d) = {d+1 \choose k+1 }+{d \choose k+1 }-{d+1-s \choose k+1 } \] $k$-faces. This conjecture along with the…

For a Lie group $G=\R^{n}\ltimes_{\phi}\R^{m}$ with the semi-simple action $\phi:\R^{n}\to {\rm Aut}(\R^{m})$, we show that if $\Gamma$ is a finite extension of a lattice of $G$ then $K(\Gamma, 1)$ is formal. Moreover we show that a compact…

We formulate a conjectural hard Lefschetz property for Chow groups, and prove this in some special cases: roughly speaking, for varieties with finite-dimensional motive, and for varieties whose self-product has vanishing middle-dimensional…

Most applications of the hard Lefschetz theorem related to combinatorial properties of simplicial complexes involve their $h$-vectors. In the context of positivity properties involving $h$-vectors of flag spheres, $f$-vectors with a…

We prove the $l^2$ Decoupling Conjecture for compact hypersurfaces with positive definite second fundamental form and also for the cone. This has a wide range of important consequences. One of them is the validity of the Discrete…

This paper is a survey of recent advances as well as open problems in the study of face numbers of centrally symmetric simplicial polytopes and spheres. The topics discussed range from neighborliness of centrally symmetric polytopes and the…

In this paper, we study the well-know $g$-conjecture for rational homology spheres in a topological way. To do this, we construct a class of topological spaces with torus actions, which can be viewed as topological generalizations of toric…

In this article, we consider singular equivariant arithmetic schemes whose generic fibres are smooth. For such schemes, we prove a relative fixed point formula of Lefschetz type in the context of Arakelov geometry. This formula is an…

We prove the relative hard Lefschetz theorem for Soergel bimodules. It follows that the structure constants of the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis are unimodal. We explain why the relative hard Lefschetz theorem implies that the tensor category…

We prove the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for complex surface singularities of genus one, and also for those of genus two whose link is not a rational homology sphere. As an application, we characterize complex $2$-tori as the only normal…

We prove the $P=W$ conjecture for $\mathrm{GL}_n$ for all ranks $n$ and curves of arbitrary genus $g\geq 2$. The proof combines a strong perversity result on tautological classes with the curious Hard Lefschetz theorem of Mellit. For the…

In this paper, we first prove a local family version of the Atiyah-Bott-Segal-Singer Lefschetz fixed point formula, then we extend the famous Witten's rigidity Theorems to the family case. Several family vanishing theorems for elliptic…
