We propose a new formulation of a vanishing theorem for surfaces. Although this vanishing theorem follows easily from the well-known Kawamata--Viehweg vanishing theorem, it turns out to be remarkably useful. In particular, it is sufficient…

Given a real analytic function $f$ from $\mathbb{R}^4$ to $\mathbb{R}^2$ with isolated critical point at the origin, the link $L_f$ of the singularity is a real fibred knot in $\mathbb{S}^{3}$. From this singularities, we construct a family…

We define and characterise small support for complexes over non-Noetherian rings and in this context prove a vanishing theorem for modules. Our definition of support makes sense for any rigidly compactly generated tensor triangulated…

In this paper we show, using Deligne-Lusztig theory and Kawanaka's theory of generalised Gelfand-Graev representations, that the decomposition matrix of the special linear and unitary group in non defining characteristic can be made…

We study zero-cycles in families of rationally connected varieties. We show that for a smooth projective scheme over a henselian discrete valuation ring the restriction of relative zero cycles to the special fiber induces an isomorphism on…

We prove a relative Kawamata Viehweg vanishing type theorem for birational morphisms. We use this to prove a Grauert Riemenschneider theorem over log canonical threefolds without zero dimensional log canonical centers, in residue…

We determine the structure modulo p of the de Rham-Witt complex of a smooth scheme X over a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic with log-poles along the special fiber Y and show that the sub-sheaf fixed by the Frobenius is…

We give sharp bounds on the vanishing of the cohomology of a tensor product of vector bundles on the n-dimensional projective space in terms of the vanishing of the cohomology of the factors. For this purpose we introduce regularity indices…

We analyze a real one-parameter family of quasiconformal deformations of a hyperbolic rational map known as {\em spinning}. We show that under fairly general hypotheses, the limit of spinning either exists and is unique, or else converges…

The set of finite binary matrices of a given size is known to carry a finite type A bicrystal structure. We first review this classical construction, explain how it yields a short proof of the equality between Kostka polynomials and…

The classification of one parameter local Coulomb branch solution of theories with eight supercharges is given by assuming that it is given by a genus $g$ fiberation of Riemann surfaces. The crucial point is the fact that certain conjugacy…

Given a fibration over the circle, we relate the eigenspace decomposition of the algebraic monodromy, the homological finiteness properties of the fiber, and the formality properties of the total space. In the process, we prove a more…

Let $X$ be a closed Riemann surface. When $X$ is embedded into a projective space, the first rational cohomology group can be concretely obtained from the monodromy in the family of its smooth hyperplane sections by C. Schnell's tube…

We uncover previously unknown properties of the family of periodic superstable cycles in unimodal maps characterized each by a Lyapunov exponent that diverges to minus infinity. Amongst the main novel properties are the following: i) The…

We propose a new sheaf-theoretical method for the calculation of the monodromy zeta functions of Milnor fibrations. As an application, classical formulas of Kushnirenko and Varchenko etc. concerning polynomials on $\CC^n$ will be…

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…

Let f be a Bianchi modular form, that is, an automorphic form for GL(2) over an imaginary quadratic field F, and let P be a prime of F at which f is new. Let K be a quadratic extension of F, and L(f/K,s) the L-function of the base-change of…

A complete definition of the cycles, on the auxiliary Riemann surface defined by Martinec and Warner for describing pure N=2 gauge theories with arbitrary group, is provided. The strong coupling monodromies around the vanishing cycles are…

Let $f: X \to \mathbb{A}^1$ be a regular function on a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$. We formulate and prove an equivalence between the algebraic formal twisted de Rham complex of $f$ and the vanishing cycles with respect to $f$ as…

We present a new proof of a theorem of Schur's determining the least common multiple of the orders of all finite groups of complex $n \times n$-matrices whose elements have traces in the field of rational numbers. The basic method of proof…
