We study the Brauer groups of regular conic bundles over elliptic curves defined over a number field $k$. We explicitly compute the Brauer group of the conic bundle when the singular fibres lie above $k$-points that are divisible by $2$ in…
In casual discussion, a stack is often described as a variety (the coarse space) together with stabilizer groups attached to some of its subvarieties. However, this description does not uniquely specify the stack. Our main result shows that…
We introduce a theory of cohomological invariants with mod $p^r$ coefficients for algebraic stacks in characteristic $p$. Using these new tools we complete the computation of the Brauer group and cohomological invariants of the stack of…
Assuming Hartshorne's conjecture on complete intersections, we classify projective bundles over projective spaces which has a smooth blow up structure over another projective space. Under some assumptions, we also classify projective…
In this paper we define a class of braces, that we call module braces or $R$-braces, which are braces for which the additive group has also a module structure over a ring $R$, and for which the values of the gamma functions are…
In this paper we give a way of equipping the derivation algebra of a group algebra with the structure of a graded algebra. The derived group is used as the grading group. For the proof, the identification of the derivation with the…
We define a general notion of centrally $\Gamma$-graded sets and groups and of their graded products, and prove some basic results about the corresponding categories: most importantly, they form braided monoidal categories. Here, $\Gamma$…
We construct new solvable vertex models based on the spin representation of the Lie algebra $B_k$. We use these models to study the algebraic structure underlying such vertex theories. We show that all the $B_k$ spin vertex models obey a…
In this paper we study the local geometry of the stack of pointed $A_r$-stable curves. In particular, we analyze the deformation theory of $A_r$-stable curves and their automorphism groups in order to study the combinatorics of families of…
The Hilbert scheme of point modules was introduced by Artin-Tate-Van den Bergh to study non-commutative graded algebras. The key tool is the construction of a map from the algebra to a twisted ring on this Hilbert scheme. In this paper, we…
We review the basic definition of a stack and apply it to the topological and smooth settings. We then address two subtleties of the theory: the correct definition of a ``stack over a stack'' and the distinction between small stacks (which…
We put forward a conjecture for the leading constant in Malle's conjecture on number fields of bounded discriminant, guided by stacky versions of conjectures of Batyrev-Manin, Batyrev-Tschinkel, and Peyre on rational points of bounded…
In this note we revisit the notions of transverse density bundle and of modular classes of Lie algebroids and Lie groupoids; in particular, we point out that one should use the transverse density bundle $\mathcal{D}_{A}^{\textrm{tr}}$…
In this paper we describe explicitly how the twisted ``bundles'' on a D-brane worldvolume in the presence of a nontrivial B field, can be understood in terms of sheaves on stacks. We also take this opportunity to provide the physics…
We first study the descent theory of line bundles under a morphism which is tors or under a group stack and then use this technical result to determine the exact structure of $\Pic(\M_G)$ where $G=\SL_r/\mu_s$ (we include a minor…
It is easy to imagine that a subvariety of a vector bundle, whose intersection with every fibre is a vector subspace of constant dimension, must necessarily be a sub-bundle. We give two examples to show that this is not true, and several…
We show that a class of algebras is closed under the taking of homomorphic images and direct products if and only if the class consists of all algebras that satisfy a set of (generally simultaneous) equations. For classes of regular…
We prove that there is a structure, indeed a linear ordering, whose degree spectrum is the set of all non-hyperarithmetic degrees. We also show that degree spectra can distinguish measure from category.
We construct examples of non-isomorphic algebraic vector bundles on the punctured affine space with isomorphic pullbacks to the smooth quadric.
We study vertex-ordering problems in loop-free digraphs subject to constraints on the left-going arcs, focusing on existence conditions and computational complexity. As an intriguing special case, we explore vertex-specific lower and upper…
