We study the Zariski closure of points in local deformation rings corresponding to potential semi-stable representations with certain prescribed $p$-adic Hodge theoretic properties. We show in favourable cases that the closure is equal to a…

We show that all non-trivial continuous endomorphisms of the circle group are topologically mixing. We also show that there exists a large infinite class of continuous endomorphisms of any n-dimensional torus group which are topologically…

We study the representations of a class of non-commutative polynomial algebras truncated at degree 3, with one additional relation. We determine the irreducible components of their varieties of representations. We do this by showing that…

We introduce and study a new class of representations of surface groups into Lie groups of Hermitian type, called {\em weakly maximal} representations. We prove that weakly maximal representations are discrete and injective and we describe…

In the paper we study the semigroup $\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{Z}}$ which is a generalization of the bicyclic semigroup. We describe main algebraic properties of the semigroup $\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{Z}}$ and prove that every non-trivial…

We consider the problem of testing whether the points in a complex or real variety with non-zero coordinates form a multiplicative group or, more generally, a coset of a multiplicative group. For the coset case, we study the notion of…

For all $d$ belonging to a density-$1/8$ subset of the natural numbers, we give an example of a square-tiled surface conjecturally realizing the group $\mathrm{SO}^*(2d)$ in its standard representation as the Zariski-closure of a factor of…

Kitaev's toric code is constructed using a finite gauge group from gauge theory. Such gauge theories can be generalized with the gauge group generalized to any finite-dimensional semisimple Hopf algebra. This also leads to generalizations…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a Zariski-like topology on the spectrum of all proper ideals of a ring. We show that the space is T_0, quasi-compact, and every irreducible closed subset has a unique generic point. Furthermore,…

In this paper we introduce toric rings of multicomplexes. We show how to compute the divisor class group and the class of the canonical module when the toric ring is normal. In the special case that the multicomplex is a discrete…

In this note, we make a step towards the classification of toric surfaces admitting reducible Severi varieties. We generalize the results of [Lan19, Tyo13, Tyo14], and provide two families of toric surfaces admitting reducible Severi…

We prove, using invariant Zariski-Riemann spaces, that every normal toric variety over a valuation ring of rank one can be embedded as an open dense subset into a proper toric variety equivariantly. This extends a well known theorem of…

We classify irreducible representations of connected compact Lie groups whose orbit space is isometric to the orbit space of a representation of a finite extension of (positive dimensional) toric group. They turn out to be exactly the…

We show that using the cyclic group the transpose of an R-cyclic matrix can be decomposed along diagonal parts into a sum of parts which are freely independent over diagonal scalar matrices. Moreover, if the R-cyclic matrix is self-adjoint…

In this appendix, we summarize known results on the geometry of Severi varieties on toric surfaces - the varieties parameterizing integral curves of a given geometric genus in a given linear system. Till the last decade, Severi varieties…

In this work, we describe a prenormal form for the generators of the semigroup of a toric variety $X \subset \mathbb{C}^p$ with isolated singularity at the origin and smooth normalization. A complete description of the semigroup is given…

In this paper we construct a spectral sequence computing a modified version of morphic cohomology of a toric variety (even when it is singular) in terms of combinatorial data coming from the fan of the toric variety.

The first steps in defining tropicalization for spherical varieties have been taken in the last few years. There are two parts to this theory: tropicalizing subvarieties of homogeneous spaces and tropicalizing their closures in spherical…

This article is motivated by the following local-to-global question: is every variety with tame quotient singularities globally the quotient of a smooth variety by a finite group? We show that this question has a positive answer for all…
