We discuss two properties of an abelian variety, namely, being a direct summand in a product of Jacobians and the weaker property of being "split". We relate the first property to the integral Hodge conjecture for curve classes on abelian…

We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo $p^2$ - we expect that such varieties, after a finite \'etale cover, admit a toric fibration over…

This is an addendum to our earlier paper on the defect of an ample divisor of an abelian variety. It modifies an argument of the original paper to handle one difficulty there. At the same time the modification improves the result in the…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, and $V$ be a vector bundle over $X$. It is well known that if $X$ is a curve and $V$ is not strongly semistable, then some Frobenius pullback…

In this paper, we prove that given a flat generically smooth morphism between smooth projective varieties with $F$-pure closed fibers, if the source space is Fano, weak Fano or a variety with the nef anti-canonical divisor, then so is the…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over the complex numbers. One knows by the Cone Theorem that the closed cone of curves of $X$ is rational polyhedral whenever $c_1(X)$ is ample. For varieties $X$ such that $c_1(X)$ is not ample,…

Cubic surfaces in characteristic two are investigated from the point of view of prime characteristic commutative algebra. In particular, we prove that, the non-Frobenius split cubic surfaces form a linear subspace of codimension four in the…

Let G be a semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. In this note, we show that an irreducible closed subvariety of the flag variety of G is compatibly split by the unique canonical Frobenius…

In this note we relate the property of a semisimple l-adic Galois representation being "F-split" for a number field F to its having abelian image. By F-split we mean that the characteristic polynomials of Frobenii all split in F.

We show that the quantum Frobenius morphism constructed by Lusztig in the setting of the quantum enveloping algebra specialized at a root of unity admits a multiplicative splitting (non unital). We also find a basis of the toral part of the…

We examine the relationship between the notion of Frobenius splitting and ordinarity for varieties. We show the following: a) The de Rham-Witt cohomology groups $H^i(X, W({\mathcal O}_X))$ of a smooth projective Frobenius split variety are…

Let $D$ be a reduced divisor in $\mathbb P^n_k$ for an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic $p > 0$. We prove that if $(\mathbb P^n_k, D)$ is Frobenius liftable modulo $p^2$, then $D$ is a toric divisor. As a corollary,…

A uniform bound of intersection multiplicities of curves and divisors on abelian varieties is proved by algebraic geometric methods. It extends and improves a result obtained by A. Buium with a different method based on Kolchin's…

For every $g\geq 2$ and $n\geq g+1$ we exhibit infinitely many extremal effective divisors in $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ coming from the strata of abelian differentials.

In this paper we consider ideal sheaves associated to the singular loci of a divisor in a linear system $|L|$ of an ample line bundle on a complex abelian variety. We prove an effective result on their (continuous) global generation, after…

We compare flat cohomology with crystalline syntomic complexes in two cases: 1) $p$-divisible groups over a separated $\mathbb F_p$-scheme with local finite $p$-bases, 2) semi-abelian schemes over a separated irreducible smooth curve.

We prove that the Newton polygons of Frobenius on the crystalline cohomology of proper smooth varieties satisfy a symmetry that results, in the case of projective smooth varieties, from Poincar\'e duality and the hard Lefschetz theorem. As…

Consider the jacobian of a hyperelliptic genus two curve defined over a finite field. Under certain restrictions on the endomorphism ring of the jacobian we give an explicit description all non-degenerate, bilinear, anti-symmetric and…

We assign functorially a $\mathbb{Z}$-lattice with semisimple Frobenius action to each abelian variety over $\mathbb{F}_p$. This establishes an equivalence of categories that describes abelian varieties over $\mathbb{F}_p$ avoiding…

In this paper, we prove the abundance theorem for numerically trivial canonical divisors on strongly $F$-regular varieties, assuming that the geometric generic fibers of the Albanese morphisms are strongly $F$-regular.
