It was shown in [S. Kaliman, M. Zaidenberg, Gromov ellipticity of cones over projective manifolds, Math. Res. Lett. (to appear), arXiv:2303.02036 (2023)] that the affine cones over flag manifolds and rational smooth projective surfaces are…
An abelian surface $A_{/{\mathbb Q}}$ of prime conductor $N$ is favorable if its 2-division field $F$ is an ${\mathcal S}_5$-extension with ramification index 5 over ${\mathbb Q}_2$. Let $A$ be favorable and let $B$ be any semistable…
We investigate the notion of the $p$-divisor for foliations on a smooth algebraic surface defined over a field of positive characteristic $p$ and we study some of their properties. We present a structure theorem for the $p$-divisor of…
Extending the notion of Frobenius-splitting, we prove that every finite height Calabi-Yau variety defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic can be lifted to the ring of Witt vectors of length two.
Throughout this paper $A$ is a commutative non-associative algebra over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic not $2.$ In addition $A$ posses a Frobenius form. We obtain detailed information about the multiplication in $A$ given two axes…
We show that any polarized abelian variety over a finite field is covered by a Jacobian whose dimension is bounded by an explicit constant. We do this by first proving an effective version of Poonen's Bertini theorem over finite fields,…
We give a geometric description of the positivity of the Frobenius-trace kernel on a $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial projective toric variety. To do so, we define its Frobenius support as well as the notions of $F$-effectiveness for divisors and…
We consider smooth algebraic varieties with ample either canonical or anticanonical sheaf. We prove that such a variety is uniquely determined by its derived category of coherent sheaves. We also calculate the group of exact…
If $X$ is an abelian variety over a field and $L$ is an invertible sheaf, we know that the degree of the 0-cycle $L^g$ is divisible by $g!$. As a 0-cycle, it is not, even over a field of cohomological dimension 1. But we show that over a…
We characterize Frobenius and separable monoidal algebra extensions $i: R\ra S$ in terms given by $R$ and $S$. For instance, under some conditions, we show that the extension is Frobenius, respectively separable, if and only if $S$ is a…
Using properties of the Frobenius eigenvalues, we show that, in a precise sense, ``most'' isomorphism classes of (principally polarized) simple abelian varieties over a finite field are characterized up to isogeny by the sequence of their…
Over complex numbers, the Fourier-Mukai partners of abelian varieties are well-understood. A celebrated result is Orlov's derived Torelli theorem. In this note, we study the FM-partners of abelian varieties in positive characteristic. We…
Using deformation theory of rational curves, we prove a conjecture of Sommese on the extendability of morphisms from ample subvarieties when the morphism is a smooth (or mildly singular) fibration with rationally connected fibers. We apply…
We study module like objects over categorical quotients of algebras by the action of coalgebras with several objects. These take the form of ``entwined comodules'' and ``entwined contramodules'' over a triple $(\mathscr C,A,\psi)$, where…
Let X be a quasiprojective smooth surface defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We show that if X is Frobenius split then so is the Hilbert scheme Hilb^n(X) of n points in X. In particular, we get the higher…
Consider the algebraic dynamics on a torus T=G_m^n given by a matrix M in GL_n(Z). Assume that the characteristic polynomial of M is prime to all polynomials X^m-1. We show that any finite equivariant map from another algebraic dynamics…
Given a $g$-dimensional abelian variety $A$ over a finite field $\mathbf{F}_q$, the Weil conjectures imply that the normalized Frobenius eigenvalues generate a multiplicative group of rank at most $g$. The Pontryagin dual of this group is a…
Let $A$ be a 2-dimensional abelian variety defined over a number field $K$. Fix a prime number $\ell$ and suppose $\#A(\mathbb{F}_p) \equiv 0 \pmod{\ell^2}$ for a set of primes $\mathfrak{p} \subset \mathcal{O}_K$ of density 1. When…
Chevalley's theorem states that every smooth connected algebraic group over a perfect field is an extension of an abelian variety by a smooth connected affine group. That fails when the base field is not perfect. We define a pseudo-abelian…
We classify Frobenius forms, a special class of homogeneous polynomials in characteristic $p>0$, in up to five variables over an algebraically closed field. We also point out some of the similarities with quadratic forms.
