We study conditions on polynomials such that the ideal generated by their orbits under the symmetric group action becomes a monomial ideal or has a monomial radical. If the polynomials are homogeneous, we expect that such an ideal has a…
Let G be a connected reductive group and G/H a spherical homogeneous space. We show that the ideal of relations between a natural set of generators of the Cox ring of a G-embedding of G/H can be obtained by homogenizing certain equations…
The simplicial endofunctor induced by a comonad in some category may underly a cyclic object in its category of endofunctors. The cyclic symmetry is then given by a sequence of natural transformations. We write down the commutation…
Let $F$ be Cayley's ruled cubic surface in a projective three-space over any commutative field $K$. We determine all collineations fixing $F$, as a set, and all cubic forms defining $F$. For both problems the cases $|K|=2,3$ turn out to be…
We give a construction of the genus field for Kummer $\ell^n$-cyclic extensions of rational congruence function fields, where $\ell$ is a prime number. First, we compute the genus field of a field contained in a cyclotomic function field,…
In this paper we calculate the Witt ring W(C) of a smooth geometrically connected projective curve C over a finite field of characteristic different from 2. We view W(C) as a subring of W(k(C)) where k(C) is the function field of C. We show…
In this paper we consider cubic 4-folds containing a plane whose discriminant curve is a reduced nodal plane sextic. In particular, we describe the singular points of such cubic 4-folds and we give an estimate of the rank of the free…
We study the L-series of cubic fourfolds. Our main result is that, if X/C is a special cubic fourfold associated to some polarized K3 surface $S$, defined over a number field K such that S^[2](K) is not empty, then X has a model over K such…
It is known that every matrix of order n over the maximal order in an algebraic number eld is a sum of k-th powers in various cases if a discriminant condition is satis ed. It has been proved by Wadikar and Katre that for every matrix of…
A graph is said to be cyclic $k$-edge-connected, if at least $k$ edges must be removed to disconnect it into two components, each containing a cycle. Such a set of $k$ edges is called a cyclic-$k$-edge cutset and it is called a trivial…
Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. Let $\mathcal{N}_K$ be the set of positive integers $n$ such that there exist units $\varepsilon, \delta \in \mathcal{O}_K^\times$ satisfying $\varepsilon + \delta = n$. We…
We prove a formula for the cycle class of the supersingular locus in the Chow ring with rational coefficients of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties in characteristic $p$. This formula determines this class as a…
Let $Y$ be a smooth complete intersection of three quadrics, and assume the dimension of $Y$ is even. We show that $Y$ has a multiplicative Chow-K\"unneth decomposition, in the sense of Shen-Vial. As a consequence, the Chow ring of (powers…
We prove a formula expressing the motivic integral (\cite{ls}) of a K3 surface over $\bC((t))$ with semi-stable reduction in terms of the associated limit Hodge structure. Secondly, for every smooth variety over a non-archimedean field we…
We study forms $I=(f_1,\ldots,f_r)$, $\deg f_i=d_i$, in $F$ which is the free associative algebra $k\langle x_1,\ldots,x_n\rangle$ or the polynomial ring $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, where $k$ is a field and $\deg x_i=1$ for all $i$. We say that…
For a cyclic Kummer extension $K$ of a rational function field $k$ is considered, via class field theory, the extended Hilbert class field $K_H^+$ of $K$ and the corresponding extended genus field $K_g^+$ of $K$ over $k$, along the lines of…
We use geometric ideas coming from certain classic algebraic constructions to associate, to every classical field theory, a symmetric monoidal double functor from the double category of cobordisms with corners to a certain symmetric…
We give a simple proof of the well-known fact: any group of n elements is cyclic if and only if n and \phi(n) are coprime. This note is accessible for students familiar with permutations and basic number theory. No knowledge of abstract…
Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field and $A$ a standard graded $S$-algebra. In terms of the Gr\"obner basis of the defining ideal $J$ of $A$ we give a condition, called the x-condition, which implies that all graded…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We prove that any division algebra over k(x,y) whose ramification locus lies on a quartic curve is cyclic.
