If K_0 is the fraction field of the Witt vectors over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p, we calculate upper bounds on the conductor of higher ramification for (the Galois closure of) extensions K_0(zeta_{p^r},…

Let X be a smooth affine algebraic variety over a field K of characteristic 0, and let R be a complete parameter K-algebra (e.g. R = K[[h]]). We consider associative (resp. Poisson) R-deformations of the structure sheaf O_X. The set of…

We define a group $RBr(\mathcal{G})$ containing, in a sense, the graded complex and orthogonal Brauer groups of a locally compact groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ equipped with an involution. When the involution is trivial, we show that the new group…

We prove that a smooth proper universally CH_0-trivial variety X over a field k has universally trivial Brauer group. This fills a gap in the literature concerning the p-torsion of the Brauer group when k has characteristic p.

The paper deals with a new sharp criterion ensuring the Aubin property of solution maps to a class of parameterized variational systems. This class includes parameter-dependent variational inequalities with non-polyhedral constraint sets…

We consider the set of forms of a toric variety over an arbitrary field: those varieties which become isomorphic to a toric variety after base field extension. In contrast to most previous work, we also consider arbitrary isomorphisms…

We give a version of the Artin-Tate formula for surfaces over finite fields not assuming Tate's conjecture. It gives an equality between terms related to the Brauer group on the one hand and terms related to the Neron-Severi group on the…

For a smooth and proper variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, the group $Br(X)[p^\infty]$ is a direct sum of finitely many copies of $\mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p$ and an abelian group of finite exponent.…

We produce refined index obstructions, generalizing recently constructed index obstructions due to de Jong and Perry, for topologically trivial Brauer classes on smooth and projective complex varieties. We show that our refined obstructions…

If G is a non-cyclic finite group, non-isomorphic G-sets X, Y may give rise to isomorphic permutation representations C[X] and C[Y]. Equivalently, the map from the Burnside ring to the representation ring of G has a kernel. Its elements are…

Let X be a smooth double cover of a geometrically ruled surface defined over a separably closed field of characteristic different from 2. The main result of this paper is a finite presentation of the 2-torsion in the Brauer group of X with…

A purity conjecture due to Grothendieck and Auslander--Goldman predicts that the Brauer group of a regular scheme does not change after removing a closed subscheme of codimension $\ge 2$. The combination of several works of Gabber settles…

The class of refinement monoids (abelian monoids satisfying the Riesz refinement property) is subdivided into those which are tame, defined as being an inductive limit of finitely generated refinement monoids, and those which are wild,…

We construct the local Galois representations over the complex field whose Swan conductors are one by using etale cohomology of Artin-Schreier sheaves on affine lines over finite fields. Then, we study the Galois representations, and give…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex cubic fourfold and let $F$ be the variety of lines of $X$. The variety $F$ is known to be a smooth projective hyperkaehler fourfold, which is moreover endowed with a self rational map $\phi : F -\rightarrow F$…

In this paper we prove that a finite product of Brauer--Severi varieties is categorical representable in dimension zero if and only if it admits a $k$-rational point if and only if it is rational over $k$. The same is true for certain…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a field finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that the finiteness of the $\ell$-primary torsion subgroup of the higher Brauer group is a sufficient criterion for the Tate conjecture to hold.…

The wild group is the group of wild automorphisms of a local field of characteristic p. In this paper we apply Fontaine-Wintenberger's theory of fields of norms to study the structure of the wild group. In particular we provide a new short…

We find renormalization group transformations for the compactified Randall-Sundrum scenario by integrating out an infinitesimal slice of ultraviolet degrees of freedom near the Planck brane. Under these transformations the coefficients of…

Let f be a weight two newform for Gamma_1(N) without complex multiplication. In this article we study the conductor of the absolutely simple factors B of the variety A_f over certain number fields L. The strategy we follow is to compute the…
