We propose a 'geometric Chevalley-Warning' conjecture, that is a motivic extension of the Chevalley-Warning theorem in number theory. It is equivalent to a particular case of a recent conjecture of F. Brown and O.Schnetz. In this paper, we…
Most applications of the hard Lefschetz theorem related to combinatorial properties of simplicial complexes involve their $h$-vectors. In the context of positivity properties involving $h$-vectors of flag spheres, $f$-vectors with a…
L- and M-weakly compact operators were introduced by Meyer-Nieberg in the beginning of seventies in attempts of a diversification of the concept of weakly compact operators via imposing Banach lattice structure on the range or on the domain…
We consider the conjecture that all artinian height 4 complete intersections of forms of the same degree $d$ have the Weak Lefschetz Property (WLP). We translate this problem to one of studying the general hyperplane section of a certain…
Hurwitz spaces which parametrize branched covers of the line play a prominent role in inverse Galois theory. This paper surveys fifty years of works in this direction with emphasis on recent advances. Based on the Riemann-Hurwitz theory of…
Let X be a locally compact space with a continuous proper action of a locally compact group G. Assuming that X satisfies a certain kind of duality in equivariant bivariant Kasparov theory, we can enrich the classical construction of…
We discuss analogies between the etale site of arithmetic schemes and the algebraic topology of dynamical systems. The emphasis is on Lefschetz numbers. We also discuss similarities between infinite primes in arithmetic and fixed points of…
In this paper we prove a concentration theorem for arithmetic $K_0$-theory, this theorem can be viewed as an analog of R. Thomason's result in the arithmetic case. We will use this arithmetic concentration theorem to prove a relative fixed…
It is known that an arbitrary smooth, oriented 4-manifold admits the structure of what is called a broken Lefschetz fibration. Given a broken fibration, there are certain modifications, realized as homotopies of the fibration map, that…
In this paper, we will give some geometric results using generic initial ideals for the degree reverse lex order. The first application is to the regularity of a Cohen-Macaulay algebra, and we improve a well-known bound. The main goal of…
The concept of weak Lie motion (weak Lie symmetry) is introduced through ${\cal{L}}_{\xi}{\cal{L}}_{\xi}g_{ab}=0,$ (${\cal{L}}_{\xi}{\cal{L}}_{\xi}f=0$). Applications are given which exhibit a reduction of the usual symmetry, e.g., in the…
This text has three parts. The first one is largely autobiographical, hence my use of the first person. There I recall how Gerard Cohen influenced important parts of my research. The second is of a more classic mathematical nature. I…
For a given pair of maps f,g:X->M from an arbitrary topological space to an n-manifold, the Lefschetz homomorphism is a certain graded homomorphism L:H(X)->H(M) of degree (-n). We prove a Lefschetz-type coincidence theorem: if the Lefschetz…
The goal of this work is to pursue the study of pseudo-effective line bundles and vector bundles. Our first result is a generalization of the Hard Lefschetz theorem for cohomology with values in a pseudo-effective line bundle. The Lefschetz…
We study the geometry and cohomology of Lefschetz pencils for semistable schemes over a discrete valuation ring. We relate the global cohomological properties of the Lefschetz pencil and the monodromy-weight conjecture, in particular we…
In this paper we discuss about properties of lattices and its application in theoretical and algorithmic number theory. This result of Minkowski regarding the lattices initiated the subject of Geometry of Numbers, which uses geometry to…
The Lefschetz fixed point theorem and its converse have many generalizations. One of these generalizations is to endomorphisms of a space relative to a fixed subspace. In this paper we define relative Lefschetz numbers and Reidemeister…
A general Lefschetz formula for the geodesic action on locally symmetric spaces is proven.
We introduce the concept of partial Poisson structure on a manifold $M$ modelled on a convenient space. This is done by specifying a (weak) subbundle $T^{\prime}M$ of $T^{\ast}M$ and an antisymmetric morphism $P:T^{\prime}M\rightarrow TM$…
We introduce Veronese-Avoiding hypersurfaces, inspired by the theory of associated forms of Alper--Isaev. In the smooth case, we reinterpret their criterion via Macaulay inverse systems: the Veronese-Avoiding condition is equivalent to the…
