For a natural class of cohomology theories with support (including \'etale or pro-\'etale cohomology with suitable coefficients), we prove a moving lemma for cohomology classes with support on smooth quasi-projective k-varieties that admit…
We study the counts of smooth permutations and smooth polynomials over finite fields. For both counts we prove an estimate with an error term that matches the error term found in the integer setting by de Bruijn more than 70 years ago. The…
In this paper we discuss the notion of smoothness in complex algebraic supergeometry and we prove that all affine complex algebraic supergroups are smooth. We then prove the stabilizer theorem in the algebraic context, providing some useful…
We prove that for every prime $p$ algebraically clean graphs of groups are virtually residually $p$-finite and cohomologically $p$-complete. We also prove that they are cohomologically good. We apply this to certain $2$-dimensional Artin…
We introduce the notion of a $p$-Cartier smooth algebra. It generalises that of a smooth algebra and includes valuation rings over a perfectoid base. We give several characterisations of $p$-Cartier smoothness in terms of prismatic…
Let $F$ be a number field, abelian over the rational field, and fix a odd prime number $p$. Consider the cyclotomic $Z_p$-extension $F_\infty/F$ and denote $F_n$ the ${n}^{\rm th}$ finite subfield and $C_n$ its group of circular units. Then…
Given a construction of smooth homotopy class invariants of smooth immersions $M^n\to R^{n+k}$. The particular case of $k=1, n\ge 1$ is a sequence of non-zero integrals, where the $n=2$ term is the Gauss-Bonnet integral
Given a smooth and separated K(pi,1) variety X over a field k, we associate a "cycle class" in etale cohomology with compact supports to any continuous section of the natural map from the arithmetic fundamental group of X to the absolute…
Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring. Given a finitely presented affine $R$-group scheme $G$ acting on a separated scheme $X$ of finite type over $R$, we show that there is a prime $p_0$ such that for any $R$-algebra $k$ which is an…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over a finite field. We show that any algebraic $1$-cycle on $X$ is rationally equivalent to a smooth $1$-cycle, which is a $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination of smooth curves on $X$. We also…
The absolute Galois group of the cyclotomic field $K={\mathbb Q}(\zeta_p)$ acts on the \'etale homology of the Fermat curve $X$ of exponent $p$. We study a Galois cohomology group which is valuable for measuring an obstruction for…
We construct pairs of residually finite groups with isomorphic profinite completions such that one has non-vanishing and the other has vanishing real second bounded cohomology. The examples are lattices in different higher rank simple Lie…
To a "stable homotopy theory" (a presentable, symmetric monoidal stable $\infty$-category), we naturally associate a category of finite \'etale algebra objects and, using Grothendieck's categorical machine, a profinite group that we call…
Let p be an odd prime. Let K = \Q(zeta) be the p-cyclotomic number field. Let v be a primitive root mod p and sigma : zeta --> zeta^v be a \Q-isomorphism of the extension K/\Q generating the Galois group G of K/\Q. For n in Z, the notation…
We say that the set of $y$-smooth numbers $\mathcal{S}(N,y)$ up to $N$ is super smooth if $y=\log^KN$ for a large fixed constant $K$. We show that the Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions is true in super smooth numbers case. This…
In this paper, we introduce a symmetric continuous cohomology of topological groups. This is obtained by topologizing a recent construction due to Staic (J. Algebra 322 (2009), 1360-1378), where a symmetric cohomology of abstract groups is…
Let $K$ be the function field of a smooth, irreducible curve defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$. Let $f\in K[x]$ be of the form $f(x)=x^q+c$ where $q = p^{r}, r \ge 1,$ is a power of the prime number $p$, and let $\beta\in \overline{K}$.…
We first study hyperplane sections of some singular schemes over a field. We prove a Bertini theorem for the log smoothness of generic hyperplane sections of a large class of log smooth schemes over a log point. We also give an abstract…
We prove the "divisible case" of the Milnor-Bloch-Kato conjecture (which is the first step of Voevodsky's proof of this conjecture for arbitrary prime l) in a rather clear and elementary way. Assuming this conjecture, we construct a 6-term…
Inspired by the work of Schur on the Taylor series of the exponential and Laguerre polynomials, we study the Galois theory of trimmed exponentials $f_{n,n+k}=\sum_{i=0}^{k} \frac{x^{i}}{(n+i)!}$ and of the generalized Laguerre polynomials…
