Let $K$ be an inversive difference-differential field and $L$ a (not necessarily inversive) finitely generated difference-differential field extension of $K$. We consider the natural filtration of the extension $L/K$ associated with a…

We investigate deformations of the shuffl e Hopf algebra structure Sh(A) which can be de fined on the tensor algebra over a commutative algebra A. Such deformations, leading for example to the quasi-shuffl e algebra QSh(A), can be…

This note concerns hyperk\"ahler fourfolds $X$ having a non-symplectic involution $\iota$. The Bloch-Beilinson conjectures predict the way $\iota$ should act on certain pieces of the Chow groups of $X$. The main result is a verification of…

We prove a restriction isomorphism for Chow groups of zero-cycles with coefficients in Milnor K-theory for smooth projective schemes over excellent henselian discrete valuation rings. Furthermore, we study torsion subgroups of these groups…

A description of the endomorphisms of semidirect products of two groups as a group of $2\times 2$ matrices of maps is already known. Using this description, we have studied the concept of determinant for the endomorphisms of semidirect…

We compute the Euler characteristic of the structure sheaf of the Brill-Noether locus of linear series with special vanishing at up to two marked points. When the Brill-Noether number $\rho$ is zero, we recover the Castelnuovo formula for…

By using higher K-theory, we study deformation theory of K-theoretic cycles. As an application, we answer two questions posed by Mark Green and Philip Griffiths: (1). How to define tangent spaces to cycle class groups in general? (2).…

In the present article we define an integral analogue of Chow-K\"unneth decomposition for \'etale motives. By using families of conservative functors we are able to establish a decomposition of the \'etale motive of commutative group…

It is shown that the rich algebraic structure of the standard $d$-dimensional Coulomb problem can be extended to its Dunkl counterpart. Replacing standard derivatives by Dunkl ones in the so($d+1$,2) dynamical algebra generators of the…

Let $G$ be a commutative affine algebraic group over a field $F$, and let $H \colon \mathrm{Fields}_{F} \to \mathrm{AbGrps}$ be a functor. A (homomorphic) $H$-invariant of $G$ is a natural transformation $\mathrm{Tors}(-, G) \to H$, where…

The construction of a C*-algebra of a differential groupoid is presented. It is shown that it defines a covariant functor from the category of differential groupoids in a sense of S. Zakrzewski to the category of C*-algebras.

We study a formal deformation problem for rational algebraic cycle classes motivated by Grothendieck's variational Hodge conjecture. We argue that there is a close connection between the existence of a Chow-K\"unneth decomposition and the…

Consider the functor describing deformations of a representation of the fundamental group of a variety X. This paper is chiefly concerned with establishing an analogue in finite characteristic of a result proved by Goldman and Millson for…

We study the semi-decomposable invariants of a split semisimple group and their extension to a split reductive group by using the torsion in the codimension $2$ Chow groups of a product of Severi-Brauer varieties. In particular, for any…

We describe deformations of non-linear (birational) representations of discrete groups generated by involutions, having their origin in the theory of the symmetric five-state Potts model. One of the deformation parameters can be seen as the…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a field of characteristic $0$ and $L$ an ample divisor. In this paper we study the Weak Lefschetz conjecture for Chow groups using the technique employed by Grothendieck in his study of the…

Rost defined the Chow group of algebraic cycles with coefficients in a locally constant torsion etale sheaf. We generalize the definition to allow non-torsion coefficients. Chow groups with twisted coefficients are related to Serre's notion…

For all integers $p>q>0$ and $k >0$, and all non-elementary torsion-free hyperbolic groups $H$, we construct a hyperbolic group $G$ in which $H$ is a subgroup, such that the distortion function of $H$ in $G$ grows like $\exp^k(n^{p/q})$.…

We develop an invariant deformation theory, in a form accessible to practice, for affine schemes $W$ equipped with an action of a reductive algebraic group $G$. Given the defining equations of a $G$-invariant subscheme $X \subset W$, we…

We study the notion of a birational Chow-K\"unneth decomposition, which is essentially a decomposition of the integral birational motive of a variety. The existence of a birational Chow-K\"unneth decomposition is stably birationally…
