We show that any fibration of a 'special' compact K{\"a}hler manifold X onto an Abelian variety has no multiple fibre in codimension one. This statement strengthens and extends previous results of Kawamata and Viehweg when $\kappa$(X) = 0.…

Since the end of the XIXth century, we know that each birational map of the complex projective plane is the product of a finite number of quadratic birational maps of the projective plane; this motivates our work which essentially deals…

This paper is a summary of author's results on finite flat commutative group schemes. The properties of the generic fibre functor are discussed. A complete classification of finite local flat commutative group schemes over mixed…

In this paper we construct abelian varieties of large Mordell-Weil rank over function fields. We achieve this by using a generalization of the notion of Prym variety to higher dimensions and a structure theorem for the Mordell-Weil group of…

Let $S$ be a connected Dedekind scheme and $X$ an $S$-scheme provided with a section $x$. We prove that the morphism of fundamental group schemes $\pi_1(X,x)^{ab}\to \pi_1(\mathbf{Alb}_{X/S},0_{\mathbf{Alb}_{X/S}})$ induced by the canonical…

We discuss $p$-adic unipotent Albanese maps for curves of positive genus, extending the theory of $p$-adic multiple polylogarithms. This construction is then used to relate linear Diophantine conjectures of `Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer type'…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over the function field $K$ of a curve over a finite field. We describe several mild geometric conditions ensuring that the group $A(K^{\rm perf})$ is finitely generated and that the $p$-primary torsion…

We consider the class of quasiprojective varieties admitting a dominant morphism onto a curve with negative Euler characteristic. The existence of such a morphism is a property of the fundamental group. We show that for a variety in this…

We give a characterization of hypercyclic abelian semigroup G of affine maps on C^n. If G is finitely generated, this characterization is explicit. We prove in particular that no abelian group generated by n affine maps on C^n has a dense…

We consider an integrable system in five unknowns having three quartics invariants. We show that the complex affine variety defined by putting these invariants equal to generic constants, completes into an abelian surface; the jacobian of a…

We consider linear groups which do not contain unipotent elements of infinite order, which includes all linear groups in positive characteristic, and show that this class of groups has good properties which resemble those held by groups of…

We study the interaction between the group law on an abelian variety and the additive structure induced on its image under a morphism to projective space. Let $A/F$ be a simple abelian variety, $f:A \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ be a morphism…

We give a brief exposition on the uses of non-commutative fundamental groups for the study of Diophantine problems via a non-abelian Albanese map.

We describe algebraically defined cohomological and homological Albanese and Picard 1-motives (or mixed motives) of any algebraic variety in characteristic zero, generalizing the classical Albanese and Picard varieties. We compute Hodge,…

Let $\pi\colon\mathcal{X}\to B$ be a family over a smooth connected analytic variety $B$, not necessarily compact, whose general fiber $X$ is smooth of dimension $n$, with irregularity $\geq n+1$ and such that the image of the canonical map…

We show that abelian surfaces (and consequently curves of genus 2) over totally real fields are potentially modular. As a consequence, we obtain the expected meromorphic continuation and functional equations of their Hasse--Weil zeta…

We show that in positive characteristic, the Albanese morphism of normal proper varieties $X$ with $\kappa_S(X, \omega_X) = 0$ is separable, surjective, has connected fibers, and the generic fiber $F$ also satisfies $\kappa(F, \omega_F) =…

We study the \Q_p-unipotent Albanese map for curves over local fields with residue characteristic different from p and show that it has finite image. As a corollary, we deduce a simple `pi_1'-proof of Siegel's theorem for rank 1 elliptic…

In this paper we study the description of the functional graphs associated with the power maps over finite groups. We present a structural result which describes the isomorphism class of these graphs for abelian groups and also for flower…

We describe up to finite coverings causal flat affine complete Lorentzian manifolds such that the past and the future of any point are closed near this point. We say that these manifolds are strictly causal. In particular, we prove that…
