We prove that both classical Chevalley-Warning-Ax and Tsen theorems hold for the blowing up of a quintic 3-fold along a line of multiplicity 3. Both proofs, which are of the same spirit than the original ones, involve the description of…

In this paper, we establish the rationality conjecture raised in \cite{FKS} for any $(r-1)$-connected ($r\geq 2$) $kr$-dimensional CW-complex $X$ ($k\geq 2$) having a unique spherical cohomology class $u\in \tilde{H}^r(X, \mathbb{Z})$ such…

We prove that for every compactum X and every integer $n \geq 2$ there are a compactum Z of $\dim \leq n$ and a surjective $UV^{n-1}$-map $r: Z \lo X$ having the property that: for every finitely generated abelian group G and every integer…

We prove a characteristic two version of the famous criterion of Artin and Mumford for irrationality of conic bundles. On the one hand, combined with the pathological behaviour of conic bundles in characteristic two, this allows us to…

For odd $N\geq 5$, we establish a short exact sequence about motivic double zeta values $\zeta^{\mathfrak{m}}(r,N-r)$ with $r\geq3$ odd, $N-r\geq2$. From this we classify all the relations among depth-graded motivic double zeta values…

A compact complex manifold X is said to be rationally cohomologically rigidified if its automorphism group Aut(X) acts faithfully on the cohomology ring H*(X,Q). In this note, we prove that, surfaces of general type with irregularity q>2…

We investigate the geometry in a real Euclidean building X of type A2 of some simple configurations in the associated projective plane at infinity P, seen as ideal configurations in X, and relate it with the projective invariants (from the…

Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve of genus at least two defined over a number field $K$. We prove that there is an algorithm that determines whether $X$ has a $K$-rational point if Grothendieck's section…

We describe several general methods for calculating weights of mixed tilting sheaves. We introduce a notion called "non-cancellation property" which implies a strong uniqueness of mixed tilting sheaves and enables one to calculate their…

Let N be a square-free positive integer and let f be a newform of weight 2 on \Gamma_0(N). Let A denote the abelian subvariety of J_0(N) associated to f and let m be a maximal ideal of the Hecke algebra T that contains Ann_T(f) and has…

The reconfiguration graph $R_k(G)$ of the $k$-colourings of a graph $G$ has as vertex set the set of all possible $k$-colourings of $G$ and two colourings are adjacent if they differ on the colour of exactly one vertex. Cereceda conjectured…

Let $T$ be an $\R$-tree in the boundary of Outer space with dense orbits. When the free group $\FN$ acts freely on $T$, we prove that the number of projective classes of ergodic currents dual to $T$ is bounded above by $3N-5$. We combine…

We show that, for a $\mathbb Q$-Fano threefold $X$ of Fano index 7, the inequality $\dim |-K_X| \ge 15$ implies that $X$ is isomorphic to one of the following varieties $\mathbb P (1^2,2,3)$, $X_6 \subset \mathbb P (1,2^2,3,5)$ or $X_6…

Let $F$ be the function field of a smooth, geometrically integral curve over a $p$-adic field with $p\neq 2.$ Let $G$ be a classical adjoint group of type $^1D_n$ defined over $F$. We show that $G(F) / R$ is trivial, where $R$ denotes {\it…

For a normal projective variety $X$, the $\bf Q$-factoriality defect $\sigma(X)$ is defined to be the rank of the quotient of the group of Weil divisors by the subgroup of Cartier ones. We prove a slight improvement of a topological formula…

In this paper, we prove a version of the typed B\"ohm theorem on the linear lambda calculus, which says, for any given types A and B, when two different closed terms s1 and s2 of A and any closed terms u1 and u2 of B are given, there is a…

Assume that $G$ is a graph with edge ideal $I(G)$ and star packing number $\alpha_2(G)$. We denote the $s$-th symbolic power of $I(G)$ by $I(G)^{(s)}$. It is shown that the inequality ${\rm depth} S/(I(G)^{(s)})\geq \alpha_2(G)-s+1$ is true…

Let $f:\mathbb{CP}^2\dashrightarrow\mathbb{CP^2}$ be a rational map with algebraic and topological degrees both equal to $d\geq 2$. Little is known in general about the ergodic properties of such maps. We show here, however, that for an…

We describe a two-party wire-tap channel of type II in the framework of almost affine codes. Its cryptological performance is related to some relative profiles of a pair of almost affine codes. These profiles are analogues of relative…

The Beilinson-Hodge conjecture asserts the surjectivity of the cycle map $$H^n_M(X,\Q(n)) \to {\rm Hom}_{MHS}(\Q(-n),H^n(X,\Q))$$ for all positive integers $n$ and every smooth complex algebraic variety $X$. For $n=2$, we prove the…
