We introduce how to pushforward shifted symplectic fibrations along base changes. This is achieved by considering symplectic forms that are closed in a stronger sense. Examples include: symplectic zero loci and symplectic quotients.…

Let $f \colon X \to Y$ be a morphism of concentrated schemes. We characterize $f$-perfect complexes $\mathcal{E}$ as those such that the functor $\mathcal{E} \otimes^{\mathbf{L}}_X \mathbf{L} f^*-$ preserves bounded complexes. We prove, as…

Let $\Bbbk$ be a perfect field with algebraic closure $\overline{\Bbbk}$. If $H$ is a subgroup of plane automorphisms over $\Bbbk$ and $p\in\overline{\Bbbk}^2$ is a point, we describe the subgroup consisting of plane automorphisms which…

For a general class of contractions of a variety X to a base Y, I discuss recent joint work with M. Wemyss defining a noncommutative enhancement of the locus in Y over which the contraction is not an isomorphism, along with applications to…

Reductions of higher tangent bundles of Lie groupoids provide natural examples of geometric structures which we would like to call higher algebroids. Such objects can be also constructed abstractly starting from an arbitrary almost Lie…

We discuss the flatness property of some fiber type contractions of complex smooth projective varieties of arbitrary dimensions. We relate the flatness of some morphisms having one-dimensional fibers with their conic bundles structures,…

Let $f$ be a postcritically finite branched self-cover of a 2-dimensional topological sphere. Such a map induces an analytic self-map $\sigma_f$ of a finite-dimensional Teichm\"uller space. We prove that this map extends continuously to the…

We provide base change theorems, projection formulae and Verdier duality for both cohomology and homology in the context of finite topological spaces

This is a survey on the finite basis problem for varieties of algebraic systems. Our exposition is in two directions: (i) We give numerous examples of varieties which are not finitely based. (ii) We give examples of important varieties with…

We prove that in characteristic zero the multiplication of sections of dominant line bundles on a complete symmetric variety $X=\bar{G/H}$ is a surjective map. As a consequence the cone defined by a complete linear system over $X$, or over…

This text answers a question raised by Joux and the second author about the computation of discrete logarithms in the multiplicative group of finite fields. Given a finite residue field $\bK$, one looks for a smoothness basis for $\bK^*$…

We study analogues of Tate's conjecture on homomorphisms for abelian varieties when the ground field is finitely generated over an algebraic closure of a finite field. Our results cover the case of abelian varieties without nontrivial…

We classify the polarized symplectic automorphisms of Fano varieties of smooth cubic fourfolds (equipped with the Pl\"ucker polarization) and study the fixed loci.

For a smooth projective complex variety whose Albanese morphism is finite, we show that every Bridgeland stability condition on its bounded derived category of coherent sheaves is geometric, in the sense that all skyscraper sheaves are…

We present scheme theoretic methods that apply to the study of secant varieties. This mainly concerns finite schemes and their smoothability. The theory generalises to the base fields of any characteristic, and even to non-algebraically…

We study extension properties for morphisms of stacks of bundles for group algebraic spaces. Applications are a short proof of the classification of bundles on the projective line for smooth geometrically reductive groups and the existence…

We give a characterization of completely regular topological spaces. Applying some recent results for supinf problems in completely regular topological spaces we establish a variational principle for saddle points. Well-posedness of saddle…

We study the homotopy fixed points under the Frobenius endomorphism on the stable $\mathbb A^1$-homotopy category of schemes in characteristic $p>0$ and prove a rigidity result for cellular objects in these categories after inverting $p$.…

We study symmetries of bases and spanning sets in finite element exterior calculus, using representation theory. We want to know which vector-valued finite element spaces have bases invariant under permutation of vertex indices. The…

Stable surfaces and their log analogues are the type of varieties naturally occuring as boundary points in moduli spaces. We extend classical results of Kodaira and Bombieri to this more general setting: if $(X,\Delta)$ is a stable log…
