We present in this paper a geometric theorem which clarifies and extends in several directions work of Brownawell, Kollar and others on the effective Nullstellensatz. To begin with, we work on an arbitrary smooth complex projective variety…

We prove the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem for surfaces of del Pezzo type over imperfect fields of characteristic $p > 5$. As a consequence, we deduce the Grauert-Riemenschneider vanishing theorem for excellent divisorial log terminal…

This paper contains a Kawamata-Viehweg-Koll\'ar type vanishing theorem for vector bundles. In order to formulate and prove this cleanly, we introduce a class of sheaves that automatically satisfies a vanishing theorem. This is obtained by…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve, and let $J$ be its Jacobian. We prove vanishing criteria for the Ceresa cycle $\kappa(C) \in \mathrm{CH}_1(J)\otimes \mathbb{Q}$ in the Chow group of 1-cycles on $J$. Namely, $(A)$ If…

The paper is on the vanishing topology of singular Milnor fibres of holomorphic families of arbitrary square, symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices with sufficiently many parameters. We define vanishing cycles on such fibres, prove an…

We show that a cone theorem for ${\mathbbA}^1-homotopy invariant contravariant functors implies the vanishing of the positive degree part of the operational Chow cohomology rings of a large class of affine varieties. We also discuss how…

Given an embedded smooth projective variety Y in CP^n, we show how the existence of a hypersurface with high multiplicity along Y, but of relatively low degree and log canonical near Y implies vanishing of higher cohomology for certain…

Let $Y$ be a smooth complete intersection of a quadric and a cubic in $\mathbb{P}^n$, with $n$ even. We show that $Y$ has a multiplicative Chow-K\"unneth decomposition, in the sense of Shen-Vial. As a consequence, the Chow ring of (powers…

In this paper we prove a new generic vanishing theorem for $X$ a complete homogeneous variety with respect to an action of a connected algebraic group. Let $A, B_0\subset X$ be locally closed affine subvarieties, and assume that $B_0$ is…

Let $R$ be a smooth affine algebra over an infinite perfect field $k$. Let $I\subset R$ be an ideal, $\omega_I:(R/I)^n\to I/I^2$ a surjective homomorphism and $Q_{2n}\subset \mathbb{A}^{2n+1}$ be the smooth quadric defined by the equation…

We develop a theory of nearby and vanishing cycles in the context of finite-coefficient Zariski-constructible sheaves over a non-archimedean field which is non-trivially valued, complete, algebraically closed, and of mixed characteristic or…

We give a direct combinatorial proof that the product of two descent classes in a symmetric group is a sum of descent classes. The proof is based on the fact that the group product gives a covering map when descent classes are endowed with…

Let $X$ be a quasi projective scheme over a noetherian affine scheme $Spec(A)$, $U\subseteq X$ be an open subset, and $Z=X-U$.Assume that $Z$ is complete intersection, with $k=codim Z$. Consider the map $$ q:{\mathbb K}\left({\mathscr…

We develop a theory of quasimaps to a moduli space of sheaves $M$ on a surface $S$. Under some assumptions, we prove that moduli spaces of quasimaps are proper and carry a perfect obstruction theory. Moreover, they are naturally isomorphic…

We state several questions, and prove some partial results, about the Chow ring $A^\ast(X)$ of complete intersections in projective space. For one thing, we prove that if $X$ is a general Calabi-Yau hypersurface, the intersection product…

In previous work, Mixed-Spin-P field has been introduced and their moduli space $\cal{W}_{g,\gamma,\bf{d}}$ together with a $\mathbb{C}^*$ action is constructed. Applying virtual localization to their virtual classes…

The problem of when the vanishing of a (generalized) Schur complement of a block matrix (corresponding to the leading principal subblock) implies that the other (generalized) Schur complement (corresponding to the trailing principal…

We study the relationship between positivity of line bundles restricted to complete intersection subvarieties and the vanishing of higher cohomology groups. Based on this connection we prove generalizations of the vanishing theorems of…

We give examples of real enumerative problems without real solutions. Most of the examples concern rational curves in ${\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^3$ passing through a real set of points and lines.

We prove that if A is an infinite von Neumann algebra (i. e., the identity can be decomposed as a sum of a sequence of pairwise disjoint projections, all equivalent to the identity) then the cyclic cohomology of A vanishes. We show that the…
