We initiate the study of holomorphically convex groups: groups that can be realized as fundamental groups of smooth complex projective varieties with holomorphically convex universal covers. If $G$ is a holomorphically convex group of…
Grothendieck's cohomological purity predicts that the cohomology of a scheme is insensitive to removing a closed subscheme of sufficiently high codimension. In this article, we establish a form of flat cohomological purity over arbitrary…
Two simple observations are made: (1) If the normal function associated to a Hodge class has a zero locus of positive dimension, then it has a singularity. (2) The intersection cohomology of the dual variety contains the cohomology of the…
We consider smooth codimension two subcanonical subvarieties in $\mathbb{P}^n$ with $n \geq 5$, lying on a hypersurface of degree $s$ having a linear subspace of multiplicity $(s-2)$. We prove that such varieties are complete intersections.…
Let X be a Stein manifold, and let Y be a closed complex submanifold of X. Denote by O(X) the algebra of holomorphic functions on X. We show that the weak (i.e., flat) homological dimension of O(Y) as a Fr'echet O(X)-module equals the…
Classical Castelnuovo's Lemma shows that the number of linearly independent quadratic equations of a nondegenerate irreducible projective variety of codimension $c$ is at most ${{c+1} \choose {2}}$ and the equality is attained if and only…
A general problem in complex cobordism theory is to find useful representatives for cobordism classes. One particularly convenient class of complex manifolds consists of smooth projective toric varieties. The bijective correspondence…
A theorem of Esnault, Srinivas and Viehweg asserts that if the Chow group of 0-cycles of a smooth complete complex variety decomposes, then the top-degree coherent cohomology group decomposes similarly. In this note, we prove a similar…
We show that hyperplane sections of strongly formal manifolds inherit strong formality. In particular, this property holds for generalized complete intersections defined by positive line bundles with trivial first de Rham cohomology group.…
This note offers an unusual approach of studying a class of modules inasmuch as it is investigating a subclass of the category of modules over a valuation domain. This class is far from being a full subcategory, it is not even a category.…
We show that for any k>1, stratified sets of finite complexity are insufficient to realize all homology classes of codimension k in all smooth manifolds. We also prove a similar result concerning smooth generic maps whose double-point sets…
In this note, we give a motivic characterization of the integral cohomology of dual boundary complexes of smooth quasi-projective complex algebraic varieties. As a corollary, the dual boundary complex of any stably affine space (of positive…
We extend results of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Raskind on the $\mathcal{K}_2$-cohomology of smooth projective varieties over a separably closed field $k$ to the \'etale motivic cohomology of smooth, not necessarily projective, varieties over…
In \cite{BKN} the authors initiated a study of the representation theory of classical Lie superalgebras via a cohomological approach. Detecting subalgebras were constructed and a theory of support varieties was developed. The dimension of a…
We provide new, improved lower bounds for the Hodge and Frobenius colevels of algebraic varieties (over $\mathbf{C}$ or over a finite field) in all cohomological degrees. These bounds are expressed in terms of the dimension of the variety…
We investigate the notion of the C-projective dimension of a module, where C is a semidualizing module. When C=R, this recovers the standard projective dimension. We show that three natural definitions of finite C-projective dimension…
We review some cohomological aspects of complex and hypercomplex manifolds and underline the differences between both realms. Furthermore, we try to highlight the similarities between compact complex surfaces on one hand and compact…
We give a systematic approach to constructing non-reduced, locally Cohen-Macaulay schemes with reduced support a smooth projective variety. The hierarchy of such structures includes a lot of information about the underlying variety, its…
This note discusses some examples showing that the crystalline cohomology of even very mildly singular projective varieties tends to be quite large. In particular, any singular projective variety with at worst ordinary double points has…
The present paper describes a relation between the quotient of the fundamental group of a smooth quasi-projective variety by its second commutator and the existence of maps to orbifold curves. It extends previously studied cases when the…
