We give a simple axiomatic description of the degree 0 part of the polylogarithm on abelian schemes and show that its realisation in analytic Deligne cohomology can be described in terms of the Bismut-K\"ohler higher analytic torsion form…

Let X be a smooth double cover of a geometrically ruled surface defined over a separably closed field of characteristic different from 2. The main result of this paper is a finite presentation of the 2-torsion in the Brauer group of X with…

We study the representation theory of the cyclotomic Brauer algebra via truncation to idempotent subalgebras which are isomorphic to a product of walled and classical Brauer algebras. In particular, we determine the block structure and…

We determine the odd order torsion subgroup of the Brauer group of diagonal quartic surfaces over the field of rational numbers. We show that a non-constant Brauer element of odd order always obstructs weak approximation but never the Hasse…

We investigate the "ramified descent problem": which adelic points of a smooth geometrically connected variety $X$ defined over a number field $K$ can be approximated by points that lift to a (twist of a) given ramified cover? We show that…

In this paper, we study the properties of weak approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction and the Hasse principle with Brauer-Manin obstruction for surfaces with respect to field extensions of number fields. We assume a conjecture of M.…

In this paper we discuss an obstruction to the integral Hodge conjecture, which arises from certain behavior of vanishing cycles. This allows us to construct new counter-examples to the integral Hodge conjecture. One typical such…

This paper investigates the distribution of rational and algebraic points of bounded weighted height in weighted projective spaces over number fields. For a weighted projective space with weights q over a number field k of degree m, we…

We establish a bialgebra structure on Rota-Baxter Lie algebras following the Manin triple approach to Lie bialgebras. Explicitly, Rota-Baxter Lie bialgebras are characterized by generalizing matched pairs of Lie algebras and Manin triples…

The Bresse system is a valid model for arched beams which reduces to the classical Timoshenko system when the arch curvature $\ell=0$. Our first result shows the Timoshenko system as a singular limit of the Bresse system as $\ell \to 0$.…

In this article, we study the obstructions to the local-global principle for homogeneous spaces with connected or abelian stabilizers over finite extensions of the field $\mathbb{C}((x,y))$ of Laurent series in two variables over the…

We study the arithmetic of certain del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2. We produce examples of Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle, coming from 2- and 4-torsion elements in the Brauer group.

We develop a theory of \emph{reduced} Gromov-Witten and stable pair invariants of surfaces and their canonical bundles. We show that classical Severi degrees are special cases of these invariants. This proves a special case of the MNOP…

The inversion problem for rational B\'ezier curves is addressed by using resultant matrices for polynomials expressed in the Bernstein basis. The aim of the work is not to construct an inversion formula but finding the corresponding value…

In this note we prove a result comparing rationality of algebraic cycles over the function field of a $SL_1(A)$-torsor for a central simple algebra $A$ and over the base field.

This paper develops techniques to study the number of descents in random permutations via martingales. We relax an assumption in the Berry-Esseen theorem of Bolthausen (1982) to extend the theorem's scope to martingale differences of…

Let $K$ be a complete non-Archimedean field $K$ with separated power series, treated in the analytic Denef--Pas language. We prove the existence of definable retractions onto an arbitrary closed definable subset of $K^{n}$, whereby…

We study a conjecture, due to Voisin, on 0-cycles on varieties with $p_g=1$. Using Kimura's finite dimensional motives and recent results of Vial's on the refined (Chow-)K\"unneth decomposition, we provide a general criterion for Calabi-Yau…

We show that a very general quartic hypersurface in $\mathbb P^6 $ over a field of characteristic different from 2 does not admit a decomposition of the diagonal, hence is not retract rational. This generalizes a result of Nicaise--Ottem,…

Let $X$ be a closed subvariety of an abelian variety $A$ over a global function field $k$ such that the base change of $A$ to an algebraic closure does not have any positive dimensional isotrivial quotient. We prove that every adelic point…
