Let $\Gamma$ be a countable abelian group. An (abstract) $\Gamma$-system $\mathrm{X}$ - that is, an (abstract) probability space equipped with an (abstract) probability-preserving action of $\Gamma$ - is said to be a Conze-Lesigne system if…

The set of linear, differential operators preserving the vector space of couples of polynomials of degrees n and n-2 in one real variable leads to an abstract associative graded algebra A(2). The irreducible, finite dimensional…

Let $p$ be a prime number and let $S=\{x^p+c_1,\dots,x^p+c_r\}$ be a finite set of unicritical polynomials for some $c_1,\dots,c_r\in\mathbb{Z}$. Moreover, assume that $S$ contains at least one irreducible polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$. Then…

Let $G$ be a connected, reductive algeraic group whose Dynkin diagram contains no components of type $G_2,$ $F_4,$ $E_6,$ $E_7$ or $E_8.$ That is, all the components are of classical type. Suppose $X$ is an affine variety, and suppose $G$…

Let $X$ be a normal complex projective variety, $T\subseteq X$ a subvariety, $a\colon X\rightarrow A$ a morphism to an abelian variety such that $\rm{Pic}^0(A)$ injects into $\rm{Pic}^0(T)$ and let $L$ be a line bundle on $X$. Denote by…

For a Hamiltonian $H \in C^2(\mathbb{R}^{N \times n})$ and a map $u:\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n /!\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^N$, we consider the supremal functional \[ \label{1} \tag{1} E_\infty (u,\Omega) \ :=\…

We say that an abelian variety $A_{/\mathbf Q}$ of dimension $g$ is {\em prosaic} if it is semistable, with good reduction at 2 and its points of order $2$ generate a $2$-extension of ${\mathbf Q}$. For $p \equiv 1 \bmod{8}$, let $M_u$ be…

In this article we give a general approach to the following analogue of Shafarevich's conjecture for some polarized algebraic varieties; suppose that we fix a type of an algebraic variety and look at families of such type of varieties over…

We show that for an irreducible subvariety Y of an abelian variety X the Gauss mapping, from the conormal bundle of $Y$ to the dual of the tangent space of $X$ at the origin, is not dominant if and only if Y is degenerate in the sense that…

In this paper we study the geometric structure of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for $GL_3$ and $b$ basic. We completely determine the irreducible components of the affine Deligne-Lusztig variety. In particular, we classify the cases…

To a smooth and proper morphism $\mathcal{X}\to U$ with quasicompact semiseparated target we associate a sheaf in the \'etale topology, which takes an affine $U$-scheme $V$ to the set of $V$-linear semiorthogonal decompositions (of fixed…

We produce examples of pairwise non-diffeomorphic closed irreducible 4-manifolds with non-trivial free abelian fundamental group of rank less than three and small Euler characteristic. These exotic smooth structures become standard after…

In this paper, we obtain an explicit formula for the Chern character of a locally abelian parabolic bundle in terms of its constituent bundles. Several features and variants of parabolic structures are discussed. Parabolic bundles arising…

Fix a scheme $S$ of characteristic $p$. Let $\mathscr{M}$ be an $S$-algebraic stack and let $\mbox{Fdiv}(\mathscr{M})$ be the stack of $\mbox{F}$-divided objects, that is sequences of objects $x_i\in\mathscr{M}$ with isomorphisms…

The absolute sets of local systems on a smooth complex algebraic variety are the subject of a conjecture of N. Budur and B. Wang based on an analogy with special subvarieties of Shimura varieties. An absolute set should be the…

Let X be a smooth curve over a finite field of characteristic p, let l be a prime number different from p, and let L be an irreducible lisse l-adic sheaf on X whose determinant is of finite order. By a theorem of Lafforgue, for each prime…

For an algebraic stack $\sX$ flat and of finite presentation over a scheme $S$, we introduce various notions of {\em relative connected components} and {\em relative irreducible components}. The main distinction between these notions is…
