We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…
The resolvent degree $\textrm{rd}_{\mathbb{C}}(n)$ is the smallest integer $d$ such that a root of the general polynomial $$f(x) = x^n + a_1 x^{n-1} + \ldots + a_n$$ can be expressed as a composition of algebraic functions in at most $d$…
This article concerns commutative algebras over a field $k$ of characteristic zero which are finite dimensional as vectorspaces, and particularly those of such algebras which are graded. Here the term graded is applied to non-negatively…
The Grothendieck-Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group $G$ over a regular semilocal ring $R$ is trivial. We establish this for unramified $R$ granted that $G^{\mathrm{ad}}$ is totally…
We construct a normal projective $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein surface over an algebraically closed field whose canonical ring is not finitely generated. Moreover, we provide a counterexample to the minimal model program for…
We prove a case of the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture: let $R$ be a Noetherian semilocal flat algebra over a Dedekind domain such that all fibers of $R$ are geometrically regular; let $G$ be a simply-connected reductive $R$-group scheme…
Let $A/\mathbb{Q}$ be a Jacobian variety and let $F$ be a totally real, tamely ramified, abelian number field. Given a character $\psi$ of $F/\mathbb{Q}$, Deligne's Period Conjecture asserts the algebraicity of the suitably normalised value…
The local $h^*$-polynomial is a natural invariant of a lattice polytope appearing in Ehrhart theory and Hodge theory. In this work, we study the question posed in [GKZ94] concerning the classification of lattice simplices with vanishing…
The Topological Tverberg Theorem claims that any continuous map of a (q-1)(d+1)-simplex to \R^d identifies points from q disjoint faces. (This has been proved for affine maps, for d=1, and if q is a prime power, but not yet in general.) The…
Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$, and let $X/k$ be a smooth variety. It is known that given a Frobenius lifting of $X$, we can identify prismatic crystals and nilpotent Higgs bundles, known as a positive characteristic…
We introduce a central extension of the preprojective algebra of a finite Dynkin quiver (depending on a regular weight for the corresponding root system), whose natural deformed version is flat (unlike that for the preprojective algebra).…
The Jacobson-Bourbaki Theorem for division rings was formulated in terms of corings by Sweedler in 1975. Finiteness conditions hypotheses are not required in this new approach. In this paper we extend Sweedler's result to simple artinian…
In this note we characterize the (resp., weak) Gorenstein global dimension for an arbitrary ring. Also, we extend the well-known Hilbert's syzygy Theorem to the weak Gorenstein global dimension and we study the weak Gorenstein homological…
The descent method is one of the approaches to study the Brauer--Manin obstruction to the local--global principle and to weak approximation on varieties over number fields, by reducing the problem to ``descent varieties''. In recent lecture…
The Grothendieck--Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group scheme $G$ over a regular local ring $R$ is trivial. The mixed characteristic case of the conjecture is widely open. We consider the…
I prove "Lefschetz principle"-type theorems for semistable and curve semistable Higgs sheaves on smooth projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. These theorems are applied to reduce a…
Let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a simple real linear Lie group with maximal compact subgroup $K_{\mathbb{R}}$ and assume that ${\rm rank}(G_\mathbb{R})={\rm rank}(K_\mathbb{R})$. For any representation $X$ of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension $\frac{1}{2}…
The number of Lame equations with finite (ordinary or projective) monodromy has been conjectured by S. R. Dahmen, and a few proofs have been proposed. It is known that Lame equations with unitary monodromy are corresponding to spherical…
We construct complexes $P_{1^n}$ of Soergel bimodules which categorify the Young idempotents corresponding to one-column partitions. A beautiful recent conjecture of Gorsky-Rasmussen relates the Hochschild homology of categorified Young…
We introduce a direct generalization of the Weinstein conjecture to closed, Lichnerowicz exact, locally conformally symplectic manifolds, (for short $\lcs$ manifolds). This conjectures existence of certain 2-curves in the manifold, which we…
