We prove that wild ramification of a constructible sheaf on a surface is determined by that of the restrictions to all curves. We deduce from this result that the Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of a constructible sheaf on a variety of…

We develop a new approach to construction of numerical invariants for ramified coverings of algebraic surfaces of prime characteristic. Let A be a two-dimensional regular local ring of prime characteristic p with algebraically closed…

Field theories place one or more degrees of freedom at every point in space. Hilbert spaces describing quantum field theories, or their finite-dimensional discretizations on lattices, therefore have large amounts of structure: they are…

For a symplectic toric manifold we consider half-form quantization in mixed polarizations $\mathcal{P}_\infty$, associated to the action of a subtorus $T^p\subset T^n$. The real directions in these polarizations are generated by components…

We prove in arbitrary characteristic that an immediate valued algebraic function field $F$ of transcendence degree 1 over a tame field $K$ is contained in the henselization of $K(x)$ for a suitably chosen $x\in F$. This eliminates…

Let O be a complete discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic and with finite residue field k. We study a natural morphism between the Greenberg algebra of O and the special fiber of the scheme of ramified Witt vectors over O. It is a…

In the study of the rational cohomology of Hilbert schemes of points on a smooth surface, it is particularly interesting to understand the characteristic classes of the tautological bundles and the tangent bundle. In this note we pursue…

We formulate a "correct" version of the Quillen conjecture on linear group homology for certain arithmetic rings and provide evidence for the new conjecture. In this way we predict that the linear group homology has a direct summand looking…

Using limit linear series and a result controlling degeneration from separable maps to inseparable maps, we give a formula for the number of self-maps of the projective line with ramification to order e_i at general points P_i, in the case…

The general boundary formulation of quantum field theory is applied to a massive scalar field in two dimensional Rindler space. The field is quantized according to both the Schr\"odinger-Feynman quantization prescription and the holomorphic…

We describe here some recent progress pertaining to the Serre Intersection Multiplicity Conjecture. In particular, we show that if A is an unramified regular local ring, then just as in the equicharacteristic case, the intersection…

We generalize the theory of Contou-Carr\`ere symbols to higher dimensions. To an $(n+1)$-tuple $f_0,\dots,f_n \in A((t_1))\cdots((t_n))^{\times}$, where $A$ denotes a commutative algebra over a field $k$, we associate an element…

In this paper, we give a simple description of the deformations of a map between two smooth curves with partially prescribed branching, in the cases that both curves are fixed, and that the source is allowed to vary. Both descriptions work…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of local fields. The Hasse-Arf theorem says that if Gal$(L/K)$ is abelian then the upper ramification breaks of $L/K$ must be integers. We prove the following converse to the Hasse-Arf theorem: Let $G$…

We present elements of $H^1(C\ti C, K_2)$ for certain specific curves C.The image of the element under the boundary map arising from the localization sequence of K-theory is the graph of frobenius endomorphism of the reduction of the curve…

For a finite totally ramified extension $L$ of a complete discrete valuation field $K$ with the perfect residue field of characteristic $p>0$, it is known that $L/K$ is an abelian extension if the upper ramification breaks are integers and…

We introduce a partial positivity notion for algebraic maps via the defect of semismallness. This positivity notion is modeled on $m$-positivity in the analytic setting and $m$-ampleness in the geometric setting. Using this positivity…

We define and study the Weil pairing on the moduli of twisted curves. If $X$ is a twisted curve, then we can combinatorially describe a certain subgroup and a quotient group of $\text{Pic}(X)[2]$ that are Weil dual. Moreover, the pairing…

We compute the average size of $\mathrm{Cl}_F[2]$ in the family of cubic fields $F = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{n})$. Specifically, as $F$ varies over the subfamily of wildly (resp. tamely) ramified fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{n})$, the average…

We show that all finite dimensional, tame hereditary $k$-algebras are of amenable representation type (in the sense of G. Elek) for all fields $k$. The proof is adapted from our previous result for tame path algebras. Further, it is proven…
