We study the interplay among Wall's $D(2)$ problem, normal generation conjecture (the Wiegold Conjecture) of perfect groups and Swan's problem on partial Euler characteristic and deficiency of groups. In particular, for a 3-dimensional…

Let k be a non archimedean field. If X is a k-algebraic variety and U a locally closed semi-algebraic subset of X^{an} -- the Berkovich space associated to X -- we show that for l \neq char(\tilde{k}), the cohomology groups H^i_c (\bar{U},…

Let X be a very general complete intersection in complex projective space and we denote by $F_r(X)$ the variety of r-planes in X, for $r\geq 1$. We show that the Picard number of $F_r(X)$ is 1, as soon as $\dim F_r(X)\geq 2$, except when X…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring, $I$ and $J$ two ideals of $R$ and $t$ an integer. Let $S$ be the class of Artinian $R$-modules, or the class of all $R$-modules $N$ with $\dim_RN\leq k$, where $k$ is an integer. It is proved that $\inf\{i:…

We present a conjecture in Diophantine geometry concerning the construction of line bundles over smooth projective varieties over $\bar{\mathbb Q}}$. This conjecture, closely related to the Grothendieck Period Conjecture for cycles of…

Grothendieck's formal functions theorem states that the coherent cohomology of a Noetherian scheme can be recovered from that of a blowup and the infinitesimal thickenings of the center and of the exceptional divisor of the blowup. In this…

A matrix formalism is proposed for computations based on Picard--Lefschetz theory in a 2D case. The formalism is essentially equivalent to the computation of the intersection indices necessary for the Picard--Lefschetz formula and enables…

In 1959, P. Hall introduced the locally finite group $\mathcal{U}$, today known as Hall's universal group. This group is countable, universal, simple, and any two finite isomorphic subgroups are conjugate in $\mathcal{U}$. It can be…

We generalise a formula of Shou-Wu Zhang, which describes local arithmetic intersection numbers of three Cartier divisors with support in the special fibre on a a self-product of a semi-stable arithmetic surface using elementary analysis.…

In this note, some properties of finitely generated two-periodic modules over commutative Noetherian local rings have been studied. We show that under certain assumptions on a pair of modules $\left(M,N \right)$ with $M$ two-periodic, the…

We prove that any finite-degree polynomial functor is topologically Noetherian. This theorem is motivated by the recent resolution of Stillman's conjecture and a recent Noetherianity proof for the space of cubics. Via work by…

Paper written in French -- English abstract: This paper proves a particular case of a conjecture of N. Kuhn. This conjecture is as follows. Consider the Gabriel-Krull filtration of the category U of unstable modules. Let U_n, n>=0, be the…

Using the Grothendieck-Lefschetz theory (see \cite{[SGA2]}) we prove a criterion to deduce that certain subvarieties of $\mathbb P^n$ of dimension $\geq 2$ are not set-theoretic complete intersections (see Theorem 1 of the Introduction). As…

We introduce new families of quandles that serve as invariants for classifying closed orientable surfaces. These families generalize the classical Dehn quandle and are defined, respectively, on isotopy classes of unoriented closed curves…

The \begin{it} Invariance Theorem \end{it} of M. Gerstenhaber and S. D. Schack states that if $\mathbb{A}$ is a diagram of algebras then the subdivision functor induces a natural isomorphism between the Yoneda cohomologies of the category…

We prove that a Noetherian ring $R$ is a splinter if and only if for every equidimensional surjective morphism $\operatorname{Spec}(S) \to \operatorname{Spec}(R)$, the map $R \to S$ is pure. This yields a large, nontrivial class of ring…

Let $A$ be the coordinate ring of a projective smooth curve over a finite field minus a closed point. For a nontrivial ideal $I \subset A$, Drinfeld defined the notion of structure of level $I$ on a Drinfeld module. We extend this to that…

We prove a relative Lefschetz-Verdier theorem for locally acyclic objects over a Noetherian base scheme. This is done by studying duals and traces in the symmetric monoidal $2$-category of cohomological correspondences. We show that local…

We calculate the Grothendieck group $K_0(\cal A)$, where $\cal A$ is an additive category, locally finite over a Dedekind ring and satisfying some additional conditions. The main examples are categories of modules over finite algebras and…

The concept of Faltings' local-global principle for the minimaxness of local cohomology modules over a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ is introduced, and it is shown that this principle holds at level 2. We also establish the same principle…
