We prove that any nef b-divisor class on a projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 is a decreasing limit of nef Cartier classes. Building on this technical result, we construct an intersection…

In this paper, motivated by a work of Luk and Yau, and Huneke and Wiegand, we study various aspects of the cohomological rigidity property of tensor product of modules over commutative Noetherian rings. We determine conditions under which…

We show that Schur classes of ample vector bundles on smooth projective varieties satisfy Hodge-Riemann relations on $H^{p,q}$ under the assumption that $H^{p-2,q-2}$ vanishes. More generally, we study Hodge-Riemann polynomials, which are…

The theorem of Barth-Lefschetz is a statement about the cohomology of a submanifold X of some projective space, in a range depending on the codimension of the embedding. Here this is generalized to the case of a submanifold X of a smooth…

We study when the Picard group of smooth surfaces of degree $d\geq 5$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$ acquires extra classes. In particular we show that the so called exceptional components of the Noether-Lefschetz locus are not Zariski dense. This…

Homotopy connectedness theorems for complex submanifolds of homogeneous spaces (sometimes referred to as theorems of Barth-Lefshetz type) have been established by a number of authors. Morse Theory on the space of paths lead to an elegant…

This work concerns maps of commutative noetherian local rings containing a field of positive characteristic. Given such a map $\varphi$ of finite flat dimension, the results relate homological properties of the relative Frobenius of…

A standard combinatorial construction, due to Kontsevich, associates to any A-infinity algebra with an invariant inner product, an inhomogeneous class in the cohomology of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with marked points. We…

We give conceptual proofs of some well known results concerning compact non-positively curved locally symmetric spaces. We discuss vanishing and non-vanishing of Pontrjagin numbers and Euler characteristics for these locally symmetric…

We determine the class of Hilbert series H so that if M is a finitely generated zero-dimensional R-graded module with the strong Lefschetz property, then the tensor product of M and k[y]/(y^m) has the strong Lefschetz property for y an…

The central topic of this thesis is the study of some properties of a class of complex compact manifolds~: Moishezon manifolds. In the first part, we generalize J.-P. Demailly's holomorphic Morse inequalities to the case of a line bundle…

Let $M,N$ be finitely generated modules over a local complete intersection $R$. Assume that for each $i>0$, $\mathrm{Tor}^R_i(M,N)=0$. We prove that the cohomological support of $M\otimes_R N$ (in the sense of Avramov-Buchweitz) is equal to…

Anari, Gharan, and Vinzant proved (complete) log-concavity of the basis generating functions for all matroids. From the viewpoint of combinatorial Hodge theory, it is natural to ask whether these functions are "strictly" log-concave for…

Surgery, as developed by Browder, Kervaire, Milnor, Novikov, Sullivan, Wall and others is a method for comparing homotopy types of topological spaces with diffeomorphism or homeomorphism types of manifolds of dimension >= 5. In this paper,…

The purpose of this note is to explain a combinatorial description of closed smooth oriented 4-manifolds in terms of positive Dehn twist factorizations of surface mapping classes, and further explore these connections. This is obtained via…

Let $f,g:X\to Y$ be maps from a compact infra-nilmanifold $X$ to a compact nilmanifold $Y$ with $\dim X\ge \dim Y$. In this note, we show that a certain Wecken type property holds, i.e., if the Nielsen number $N(f,g)$ vanishes then $f$ and…

We study how the existence of a negatively pinched K\"ahler metric on a domain in complex Euclidean space restricts the geometry of its boundary. In particular, we show that if a convex domain admits a complete K\"ahler metric, with pinched…

In this paper we compare different notions of transversality for possible singular complex algebraic or analytic subsets of an ambient complex manifold and prove a refined intersection formula for their Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes. In…

Consider a standard graded artinian $k$-algebra $B$ and an extension of $B$ by a new variable, $A=B\otimes_k k[x]/(x^d)$ for some $d\geq 1$. We will show how maximal rank properties for powers of a general linear form on $A$ can be…

In this paper we show that every rational cohomology class of type $(p,p)$ on a compact K\"ahler manifold can be representated as a differential $(p,p)$-form given by an explicit formula involving a \v{C}ech cocycle. First we represent…
