In this paper, we prove that any K\"ahler Ricci shrinker surface has bounded sectional curvature. Combining this estimate with earlier work by many authors, we provide a complete classification of all K\"ahler Ricci shrinker surfaces.
We introduce in this article a new method to estimate the minimum distance of codes from algebraic surfaces. This lower bound is generic, i.e. can be applied to any surface, and turns out to be ``liftable'' under finite morphisms, paving…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$. In this paper we describe the $(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^3$-actions on $k[[z]]$ for which there is a discrete valuation ring $R$, a finite extension of the ring of Witt vectors…
Under mild hypotheses, we prove that if F is a totally real field, k is the algebraic closure of the finite field with l elements and r : G_F --> GL_2(k) is irreducible and modular, then there is a finite solvable totally real extension…
In this note a proof is given for global existence and uniqueness of minimal surfaces of Lorentzian type from a cylinder into globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds for given initial values up to the first derivatives.
We investigate categorical and amalgamation properties of the functor Idc assigning to every partially ordered abelian group G its semilattice of compact ideals Idc G. Our main result is the following. Theorem 1. Every diagram of finite…
In this paper, we prove that smooth Calabi--Yau hypersurfaces of degree $d$ over complete unramified discrete valuation rings with residue characteristic $p$ are perfectoid split if $p$ is larger than the relative dimension and $p\nmid d$.…
Over a global field any finite number of central simple algebras of exponent dividing $m$ is split by a common cyclic field extension of degree $m$. We show that the same property holds for function fields of two-dimensional excellent…
We give a simple proof of the sharp decay of the Fourier-transform of surface-carried measures of two-dimensional generic surfaces. The estimates are applied to prove Strichartz and resolvent estimates for elliptic operators whose…
We solve the lifting problem for Galois representations in every dimension and in every characteristic. That is, we determine all pairs $(n,k)$, where $n$ is a positive integer and $k$ is a field of characteristic $p>0$, such that for every…
Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring with fraction field $K$ and with algebraically closed residue field of positive characteristic $p$. Let $X$ be a smooth fibered surface over $R$ with geometrically connected fibers endowed with a section…
In ``New Proofs of the structure theorems for Witt Rings'', Lewis shows how the standard ring-theoretic results on the Witt ring can be deduced in a quick and elementary way from the fact that the Witt ring of a field is integral and from…
Let $V$ be a $G$-module where $G$ is a complex reductive group. Let $Z:=\quot VG$ denote the categorical quotient and let $\pi\colon V\to Z$ be the morphism dual to the inclusion $\O(V)^G\subset\O(V)$. Let $\phi\colon Z\to Z$ be an…
The purpose of this article is to prove some results on the Witt vectors of perfect $\mathbf{F}_p$-algebras. Let $A$ be a perfect $\mathbf{F}_p$-algebra for a prime integer $p$ and assume that $A$ has the property $\mathbf{P}$. Then does…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective algebraic variety over $Z/p$, which has a flat lift to a scheme $X'$ over $Z/p^2$. If the absolute Frobenius morphism $F$ on $X$ lifts to a morphism on $X'$, then an old trick by Mazur shows that push-down of…
We give applications of integral canonical models of orthogonal Shimura varieties and the Kuga-Satake morphism to the arithmetic of K3 surfaces over finite fields. We prove every K3 surface of finite height over a finite field admits a…
Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over the field of real numbers $\mathbb{R}$. We use the signature of a quadratic form to produce "higher" global signatures relating the derived Witt groups of $X$ to the singular cohomology of the real…
Given two semistable, non potentially isotrivial elliptic surfaces over a curve $C$ defined over a field of characteristic zero or finitely generated over its prime field, we show that any compatible family of effective isometries of the…
We show that using an idea from a paper by Van de Ven one may obtain a simple proof of Zak's classification of smooth projective surfaces with zero vanishing cycles. This method of proof allows one to extend Zak's theorem to the case of…
This paper introduces a novel approach to the axiomatic theory of quadratic forms. We work internally in a category of certain partially ordered sets, subject to additional conditions which amount to a strong form of local presentability.…
