We provide a new proof of the following result: Let $X$ be a variety of finite type over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0, let $Z\subset X$ be a proper closed subset. There exists a modification $f:X_1 \rar X$, such…

Let $k$ be a base field and $G$ be an algebraic group over $k$. J.-P. Serre defined $G$ to be special if every $G$-torsor $T \to X$ is locally trivial in the Zariski topology for every reduced algebraic variety $X$ defined over $k$. In…

For any rigid analytic group variety $G$ over a non-archimedean field $K$ over $\mathbb Q_p$, we study $G$-torsors on adic spaces over $K$ in the $v$-topology. Our main result is that on perfectoid spaces, $G$-torsors in the \'etale and…

Let $K$ be the function field of a $p$-adic curve, $G$ a semisimple simply connected group over $K$ and $X$ a $G$-torsor over $K$. A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Parimala and Suresh predicts that if for every discrete valuation $v$ of…

Let S be a smooth del Pezzo surface that is defined over a field K and splits over a Galois extension L. Let G be either the split reductive group given by the root system of $S_L$ in Pic $S_L$, or a form of it containing the N\'eron-Severi…

We present an elementary proof of the fact that every torsor for an affine group scheme over an algebraically closed field is trivial. This is related to the uniqueness of fibre functors on neutral tannakian categories.

Let R be a Henselian discrete valuation ring with field of fractions K. If X is a smooth variety over K and G a torus over K, then we consider X-torsors under G. If XX/R is a model of X then, using a result of Brahm, we show that X-torsors…

We consider parahoric Bruhat-Tits group schemes over a smooth projective curve and torsors under them. If the characteristic of the ground field is either zero or positive but not too small and the generic fiber is absolutely simple and…

Let X be a smooth, connected, projective variety over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. In "Flat vector bundles and the fundamental group in non-zero characteristics" (Ann. Scuola Norm. Sup. Pisa Cl. Sci. (4) 2…

A natural higher K-theoretic analogue of the triviality of vector bundles on affine toric varieties is the conjecture on nilpotence of the multiplicative action of the natural numbers on the K-theory of these varieties. This includes both…

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over an infinite field $k$. Loosely speaking, a $G$-torsor over $k$-variety is said to be versal if it specializes to every $G$-torsor over any $k$-field. The existence of versal torsors is well-known. We…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$, defined over an algebraically closed field $k$, and let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $k$. We say that a $G$-torsor is essentially finite if it admits a reduction to a finite…

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ be a smooth Fano hypersurface of dimension $n$ and degree $d$. The derived category of coherent sheaves on $X$ contains an interesting subcategory called the Kuznetsov component $\mathcal{A}_X$. We show that…

In this paper we answer two long-standing questions in the classification of $G$-torsors on curves for an almost simple, simply connected algebraic group $G$ over the field of complex numbers. The first question is to give an intrinsic…

Parahoric group schemes are certain possibly non-reductive, smooth, affine integral models of reductive group schemes defined over a henselian discretely valued field $K$ whose residue field is perfect. We show that any such group scheme…

We prove that if $X \to Y$ is a (geometrically) regular morphism of Noetherian schemes, then from a Nisnevich-local perspective, the Gersten complex for Quillen $K$-theory on $X$ becomes acyclic in degrees beyond the Krull dimension of $Y$.…
