For a locally path connected topological space, the topological fundamental group is discrete if and only if the space is semilocally simply-connected. While functoriality of the topological fundamental group for arbitrary topological…

Contrary to previous approaches bringing together algebraic geometry and signatures of paths, we introduce a Zariski topology on the space of paths itself, and study path varieties consisting of all paths whose iterated-integrals signature…

Let $A$ and $B$ be abelian varieties defined over the function field $k(S)$ of a smooth algebraic variety $S/k.$ We establish criteria, in terms of restriction maps to subvarieties of $S,$ for existence of various important classes of…

Motivic equivalence for algebraic groups was recently introduced in [9], where a characterization of motivic equivalent groups in terms of higher Tits indexes is given. As a consequence, if the quadrics associated to two quadratic forms…

Let E/F be a quadratic number (resp. p-adic) field extension, and F' an odd degree cyclic field extension of F. We establish a base-change functorial lifting of automorphic (resp. admissible) representations from the unitary group U(3,E/F)…

In this note we discuss some arithmetic and geometric questions concerning self maps of projective algebraic varieties.

We prove that the complex surfaces parametrizing cuboids and face cuboids, as well as their minimal resolution of singularities, have trivial fundamental group. We then compute the fundamental group of certain open smooth subvarieties of…

In this paper, we are interested in study subgroups of topologized fundamental groups and their influences on generalized covering maps. More precisely, we find some relationships between generalized covering subgroups and the other famous…

In this talk, I report on three theorems concerning algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic $p>0$. a) over a finite field of cardinal $q$, two proper smooth varieties which are geometrically birational have the same number of…

Phylogenetic algebraic geometry is concerned with certain complex projective algebraic varieties derived from finite trees. Real positive points on these varieties represent probabilistic models of evolution. For small trees, we recover…

We introduce a new fundamental group scheme for varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and we use it to study generalization of some of C. Simpson's results to positive characteristic. We also study…

The goal of this paper is to consider some relations between varieties of representations of groups and varieties of associative algebras. The main emphasis is put on the varieties of representations of groups induced by the varieties of…

We prove that every non-degenerate toric variety, every homogeneous space of a connected linear algebraic group without non-constant invertible regular functions, and every variety covered by affine spaces admits a surjective morphism from…

In this text, we are concerned with ring epimorphisms, and more specifically universal localisations, from path algebras to matrix algebras. We are mainly focused on constructing ring epimorphisms and universal localisations by extending…

We prove that the universal cover of a normal complex algebraic variety admitting a faithful complex representation of its fundamental group is an analytic Zariski open subset of a holomorphically convex complex space. This is a non-proper…

We prove that for any affine variety S defined over Q there exist Shephard and Artin groups G such that a Zariski open subset U of S is biregular isomorphic to a Zariski open subset of the character variety Hom(G, PO(3))//PO(3). The subset…

The main question we target is the following: If one fixes a topological type of a complex normal surface singularity then what are the possible analytic types supported by it, and/or, what are the possible values of the geometric genus? We…

We introduce the notion of central extension of gerbes on a topological space. We then show that there are obstruction classes to lifting objects and isomorphisms in a central extension. We also discuss pronilpotent gerbes. These results…

We exhibit invariants of smooth projective algebraic varieties with integer values, whose nonvanishing modulo p prevents the existence of an action without fixed points of certain finite p-groups. The case of base fields of characteristic p…

Given a Galois cover of curves $f$ over a field of characteristic $p$, the lifting problem asks whether there exists a Galois cover over a complete mixed characteristic discrete valuation ring whose reduction is $f$. In this paper, we…
