For a ring $R$, Hilbert's Tenth Problem $HTP(R)$ is the set of polynomial equations over $R$, in several variables, with solutions in $R$. We view $HTP$ as an enumeration operator, mapping each set $W$ of prime numbers to $HTP(\mathbb…
Let $R$ be a Cohen--Macaulay local $K$-algebra or a standard graded $K$-algebra over a field $K$ with a canonical module $\omega_R$. The trace of $\omega_R$ is the ideal $tr(\omega_R)$ of $R$ which is the sum of those ideals…
We study the algebraic $K$-theory of rings of the form $R[x]/x^e$. We do this via trace methods and filtrations on topological Hochschild homology and related theories by quasisyntomic sheaves. We produce computations for $R$ a perfectoid…
In this thesis we consider the geometry of the Hilbert scheme of points in P^n, concentrating on the locus of points corresponding to the Gorenstein subschemes of P^n. New results are given, most importantly we provide tools for…
The Hilbert series of a polarised algebraic variety $(X,D)$ is a powerful invariant that, while it captures some features of the geometry of $(X,D)$ precisely, often cannot recover much information about its singular locus. This work…
Let K be a number field and let A be its ring of integers. Let G be a connected, noncommutative, absolutely almost simple algebraic K-group. If the K-rank of G equals 2, then G(A[t]) is not finitely presented.
A simple convex polytope $P$ is \emph{cohomologically rigid} if its combinatorial structure is determined by the cohomology ring of a quasitoric manifold over $P$. Not every $P$ has this property, but some important polytopes such as…
The Jack symmetric polynomials $P_\lambda^{(\alpha)}$ form a class of symmetric polynomials which are indexed by a partition $\lambda$ and depend rationally on a parameter $\alpha$. They reduced to the Schur polynomials when $\alpha=1$, and…
Let R\_n be the ring of Laurent polynomials in n variables over a field k of characteristic zero and let K\_n be its fraction field.Given a linear algebraic k-group $G$, we show that a K\_n-torsor under G which is unramified with respect to…
Polyhedral K\"ahler surfaces are a class of complex surfaces, which are flat everywhere except on a two-dimensional skeleton. They are defined as a generalisation of the "gluing a polygon side by side" construction of flat Riemann surfaces.…
We study the Hilbert scheme $\mathcal{H}^\mathcal{L}_{d,g,r}$ parametrizing smooth, irreducible, non-degenerate and linearly normal curves of degree $d$ and genus $g$ in $\mathbb{P}^r$ whose complete and very ample hyperplane linear series…
We prove an analogue of the celebrated Hall-Higman theorem, which gives a lower bound for the degree of the minimal polynomial of any semisimple element of prime power order $p^{a}$ of a finite classical group in any nontrivial irreducible…
A positroid is a matroid realized by a matrix such that all maximal minors are non-negative. Positroid polytopes are matroid polytopes of positroids. In particular, they are lattice polytopes. The Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polytope…
We address some questions concerning indecomposable polynomials and their behaviour under specialization. For instance we give a bound on a prime $p$ for the reduction modulo $p$ of an indecomposable polynomial $P(x)\in \Zz[x]$ to remain…
In a previous paper, a realization of the moduli space of framed torsion-free sheaves on Hirzebruch surfaces in terms of monads was given. We build upon that result to construct ADHM data for the Hilbert scheme of points of the total space…
A short proof of the "Rigidity theorem" using the sheaf theoretic model for Hilbert modules over polynomial rings is given. The joint kernel for a large class of submodules is described. The completion $[\mathcal I]$ of a homogeneous…
We interpret a counterexample to Hilbert's 14th problem by S. Kuroda geometrically in two ways: As ring of regular functions on a smooth rational quasiprojective variety over any field K of characteristic 0, and, in the special case where K…
The multigraded Hilbert scheme parametrizes all homogeneous ideals in a polynomial ring graded by an abelian group with a fixed Hilbert function. We prove that any multigraded Hilbert scheme is smooth and irreducible when the polynomial…
For a number field $K$, an algebraic variety $X/K$ is said to have the Hilbert Property if $X(K)$ is not thin. We are going to describe some examples of algebraic varieties, for which the Hilbert Property is a new result. The first class of…
Let $p$ be a prime number. As a standard application of the irreducibility criterion of Eisenstein, it is well known that the $p$-th cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_p(t)=1+t+\dots+t^{p-1}$ is the minimal polynomial of $e^{2\pi i/p}$ over…
