In 1987 Serre conjectured that any mod l ("ell", not "1") two-dimensional irreducible odd representation of the absolute Galois group of the rationals came from a modular form in a precise way. We present a generalisation of this conjecture…
In this note we build on the arguments of van Geemen and Voisin to prove a conjecture of Matsushita that a Lagrangian fibration of an irreducible hyperk\"ahler manifold is either isotrivial or of maximal variation. We also complete a…
We prove that any hyper-K\"{a}hler sixfold $K$ of generalized Kummer type has a naturally associated manifold $Y_K$ of $\mathrm{K}3^{[3]}$-type. It is obtained as crepant resolution of the quotient of $K$ by a group of symplectic…
We prove that cubic fourfolds in a certain 10-dimensional family have finite-dimensional motive. The proof is based on the van Geemen-Izadi construction of an algebraic Kuga-Satake correspondence for these cubic fourfolds, combined with…
We formulate a generalization of Vojta's conjecture in terms of log pairs and variants of multiplier ideals. In this generalization, a variety is allowed to have singularities. It turns out that the generalized conjecture for a log pair is…
We consider closed manifolds that admit a metric locally isometric to a product of symmetric planes. For such manifolds, we prove that the Euler characteristic is an obstruction to the existence of flat structures, confirming an old…
In this paper we construct new Beauville surfaces with group either $\PSL(2,p^e)$, or belonging to some other families of finite simple groups of Lie type of low Lie rank, or an alternating group, or a symmetric group, proving a conjecture…
I prove several conjectures of \cite{GHKK} on the cluster structure of $SL_n$, which in particular imply the full Fock-Goncharov conjecture for the open double Bruhat cell $\mathcal{A} \subset SL_n/U$, for $U \subset SL_n$ a maximal…
The van der Waerden's Conjecture states that the set $\mathscr{P}_{n,N}^0(\mathbb{Q})$ of monic integer polynomials $f(X)$ of degree $n$, with height $\le N$ such that the Galois group $G_{K_f/\mathbb{Q}}$ of the splitting field…
We build a modified universal Kolyvagin system for the Galois representation attached to a Hida family of modular forms, starting from the big Heegner point Euler system of Longo--Vigni built in towers of Shimura curves. We generalize the…
In our previous work we conjectured - inspired by an algebro-geometric result of Fujita - that the height of an arithmetic Fano variety X of relative dimension $n$ is maximal when X is the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n_{\mathbb{Z}}$ over…
We associate to any convenient nondegenerate Laurent polynomial on the complex torus (C^*)^n a canonical Frobenius-Saito structure on the base space of its universal unfolding. According to the method of K. Saito (primitive forms) and of M.…
This is the part II of our series of two papers, "Clemens' conjecture: part I", "Clemens' conjecture: part II". Continuing from part I, in this paper we turn our attention to general quintic threefolds. In a universal quintic threefold X,…
We investigate how the motive of hyper-K\"ahler varieties is controlled by weight-2 (or surface-like) motives via tensor operations. In the first part, we study the Voevodsky motive of singular moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on K3 and…
Let $X$ be a hyperk\"ahler variety, and let $G$ be a group of finite order non-symplectic automorphisms of $X$. Beauville's conjectural splitting property predicts that each Chow group of $X$ should split in a finite number of pieces. The…
We obtain an irreducibility criterion for generalized principal series, extending known and frequently employed results for principal series. Our approach rests on a newly observed semi-direct product decomposition of the relative Weyl…
This is an announcement of conjectures and results concerning the generating series of Euler characteristics of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces with simple (Kleinian) singularities. For a quotient surface C^2/G with G a finite…
The Bauer-Furuta invariant of a family of smooth 4-manifolds is a stable cohomotopy refinement of the families Seiberg-Witten invariant and is constructed from a finite dimensional approximation of the Seiberg-Witten monopole map. We prove…
Projective varieties with ample cotangent bundle satisfy many notions of hyperbolicity, and one goal of this paper is to discuss generalizations to quasi-projective varieties. A major hurdle is that the naive generalization fails, i.e. the…
We prove convergence of eigenvector processes of the form $(\sqrt{N}\langle \mathbf{u}_k,A_t\mathbf{u}_k\rangle)_{t\in[0,1]}$ where $\mathbf{u}_k$ is a bulk eigenvector of generalized Wigner matrices and $(A_t)$ a family of symmetric…
