We classify the orbits of coquasi-triangular structures for the Hopf algebra E(n) under the action of lazy cocycles and the Hopf automorphism group. This is applied to detect subgroups of the Brauer group $BQ(k,E(n))$ of E(n) that are…

We study the algebraic structure of the automorphism group of the derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety twisted by a Brauer class. Our main results generalize results of Rouquier in the untwisted case.

Let $A$ be a ring equipped with a derivation $\delta $. We study differential Azumaya $A$ algebras, that is, Azumaya $A$ algebras equipped with a derivation that extends $\delta $. We calculate the differential automorphism group of the…

We prove that the Brauer group of the moduli stack of parabolic stable principal $\text{PGL}(r,\mathbb{C})$-bundles on a curve $X$, for a generic system of weights along an arbitrary parabolic divisor, coincides with the Brauer group of the…

This paper starts with an exposition of descent-theoretic techniques in the study of Picard groups of $\mathbf{E}_{\infty}$-ring spectra, which naturally lead to the study of Picard spectra. We then develop tools for the efficient and…

Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus at least two. Let $N$ be a connected component of the moduli space of semistable principal ${\rm PGL}_r({\mathbb C})$- bundles over $X$; it is a normal unirational complex…

We show that the Brauer group of any moduli space of stable pairs with fixed determinant over a curve is zero.

For algebraic stacks over number fields, we define their Brauer-Manin sets, Brauer-Manin pairings, and extend the descent theory of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc. By extending Sansuc's exact sequence, we show the torsionness of Brauer…

We formulate a detailed conjectural Eichler-Shimura type formula for the cohomology of local systems on a Picard modular surface associated to the group of unitary similitudes $\mathrm{GU}(2,1,\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3}))$. The formula is based…

Toric varieties are a special class of rational varieties defined by equations of the form {\it monomial = monomial}. For a good brief survey of the history and role of toric varieties see [10]. Any toric variety $X$ contains a cover by…

Fuchsian groups with a modular embedding have the richest arithmetic properties among non-arithmetic Fuchsian groups. But they are very rare, all known examples being related either to triangle groups or to Teichmueller curves. In Part I of…

Let X be a smooth projective rational variety carrying a regular action of a finite abelian group G. We give examples of effective computation of the Brauer group of the quotient stack [X/G] in dimensions 2 and 3 using residues in Galois…

We compute the Brauer group of some of the known Enriques manifolds. We then build special Brauer-Severi varieties on these manifolds and study the pull-back map from the Brauer group of an Enriques manifold to that of its hyper-K\"ahler…

We study the Picard groups of moduli spaces in positive characteristics and we give a "$p$-adic" proof that the Picard group of moduli of vector bundles of fixed determinant is isomorphic to the group of integers. Along the way we prove…

We compute the Picard group of the moduli stack of elliptic curves and its canonical compactification over general base schemes.

Under some assumptions, we compute the Picard group of moduli of stable sheaves on Abelian surfaces. Considering relative moduli spaces, it is sufficient to consider the moduli of stable sheaves on the product of elliptic curves. By using…

The IA-automorphism group is the group of automorphisms of the free group $F_n$ that act trivially on the abelianization $F_n^{\mathrm{ab}}$. This group is in many ways analoguous to Torelli groups of surfaces and their higher dimensional…
