A classical approach to investigate a closed projective scheme $W$ consists of considering a general hyperplane section of $W$, which inherits many properties of $W$. The inverse problem that consists in finding a scheme $W$ starting from a…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic mapping between compact complex manifolds. We give a criterion for $f$ to have {\it unobstructed deformations}, i.e. for the local moduli space of $f$ to be smooth: this says, roughly speaking, that the group of…

We study divided power structures on finitely generated $k$-algebras, where $k$ is a field of positive characteristic $p$. As an application we show examples of $0$-dimensional Gorenstein $k$-schemes that do not lift to a fixed noetherian…

Let $X$ be a very general hypersurface of degree $d$ in the projective $(n+1)$-space with $n \ge 3$, and $f: X \to Y$ a non-birational surjective morphism to a normal projective variety $Y$. We first prove that $Y$ is a klt Fano variety if…

We give a new characterisation of elliptic curves of Shimura type in terms commuting families of Frobenius lifts and also strengthen an old principal ideal theorem for ray class fields. These two results combined yield the existence of…

Let $\V$ be a mixed characteristic complete discrete valuation ring, let $\X$ and $\Y$ be two smooth formal $\V$-schemes, let $f_0$ : $X \to Y$ be a projective morphism between their special fibers, let $T$ be a divisor of $Y$ such that…

Starting with a unit-preserving normal completely positive map L: M --> M acting on a von Neumann algebra - or more generally a dual operator system - we show that there is a unique reversible system \alpha: N --> N (i.e., a complete order…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$, $\mathcal{V}$ a complete discrete valuation ring with residue field $k$ and field of fractions $K$ of characteristic 0, and $S$ a separated $k$-scheme of finite type. When $S$ is smooth…

I define a morphism on $\mathbb{C}_p$ called a lift of $p$-th power if its natural restriction to the residue field of $\mathbb{C}_p$ is a $p$-th power of some morphism. This definition generalizes from the lift of Frobenius. In this paper…

In this paper we define a rigid rational homotopy type, associated to any variety $X$ over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic. We prove comparison theorems with previous definitions in the smooth and proper, and log-smooth and…

We show that a plt surface singularity $(P\in X,B)$ is $F$-liftable if and only if it is $F$-pure and is not a rational double point of type $E_8^1$ in characteristic $p=5$. As a consequence, we prove the logarithmic extension theorem for…

We derive transformation rules for test ideals and $F$-singularities under an arbitrary finite surjective morphism $\pi : Y \to X$ of normal varieties in prime characteristic $p > 0$. The main technique is to relate homomorphisms $F_{*}…

In this paper we prove strong toroidalization of birational morphisms of 3-folds. Suppose that f:X\to Y is a birational morphism of nonsingular complete 3-folds, and D_Y, D_X are simple normal crossings divisors on Y and X such that…

Let X be a smooth projective hyperelliptic curve over an algeraically closed field k of prime characteristic p. The aim of this note is to find necessary and sufficient conditions on the automorphism group of the curve X to be lifted to…

The lifting problem for curves with automorphisms asks whether we can lift a smooth projective characteristic p curve with a group G of automorphisms to characteristic zero. This was solved by Grothendieck when G acts with prime-to-p…

We apply Frobenius integrability theorem in the search of invariants for one-dimensional Hamiltonian systems with a time-dependent potential. We obtain several classes of potential functions for which Frobenius theorem assures the existence…

We show how to construct tilting bundles for a class of smooth projective varieties using characteristic $p$ methods. Given such a variety $X$, reduce it modulo a prime number and consider the direct image of the structure sheaf under the…

We push further the classical proof of Weil upper bound for the number of rational points of an absolutely irreducible smooth projective curve $X$ over a finite field in term of euclidean relationships between the Neron Severi classes in…

Classical Serre-Tate theory describes deformations of ordinary abelian varieties. It implies that every such variety has a canonical lift to characteristic zero and equips its local moduli space with a Frobenius lifting and canonical…

Suppose that $\Phi:X\to Y$ is a morphism from a 3 fold to a surface (over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero). We prove that there exist sequences of blowups of nonsingular subvarieties $X_1\to X$ and $Y_1\to Y$ such that…
