Ahmadi-Shparlinski conjectured that every ordinary, geometrically simple Jacobian over a finite field has maximal angle rank. Using the L-Functions and Modular Forms Database, we provide two counterexamples to this conjecture in dimension…

We prove a strong vanishing result for finite length Koszul modules, and use it to derive Green's conjecture for every g-cuspidal rational curve over an algebraically closed field k with char(k) = 0 or char(k) >= (g+2)/2. As a consequence,…

We prove the classification of joinings for maximal horospherical subgroups acting on homogeneous spaces without any restriction on the characteristic. Using the linearization technique we deduce a special case of Raghunathan's orbit…

The equaliser of a set of homomorphisms $S: F(a, b)\rightarrow F(\Delta)$ has rank at most two if $S$ contains an injective map, and is not finitely generated otherwise. This proves a strong form of Stallings' Equaliser Conjecture for the…

The main theorem (2.2) consists in two characterizations of isomorphisms of factorial domains in terms of prime or primary rings elements, and unramified, flat or weakly injective affine schemes morphisms. In order to apply this theorem to…

Let $\L$ be an artin algebra. Iyama conjectures that the endomorphism ring of any two maximal $l$-orthogonal modules, $M_1$ and $M_2$, are derived equivalent. He proves the conjecture for $l=1$, and for $l>1$ he gives some orthogonality…

Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of number fields with Galois group G. Let p be a rational prime and let r be a non-positive integer. By examining the structure of the p-adic group ring Z_p[G], we prove many new cases of the p-part of…

We prove a rank-finiteness conjecture for modular categories: up to equivalence, there are only finitely many modular categories of any fixed rank. Our technical advance is a generalization of the Cauchy theorem in group theory to the…

We prove Behrend's conjecture on the rationality of the canonical reduction of principal bundles and reductive group schemes for classical groups and give new bounds for the conjecture for exceptional groups. However we find a…

This article documents my journey down the rabbit hole, chasing what I have come to know as a particularly unyielding problem in Ramsey theory on the integers: the $2$-Large Conjecture. This conjecture states that if $D \subseteq…

We say an excellent local domain $(S,n)$ satisfies the vanishing conditions for maps of Tor, if for every $A\to R\to S$ with $A$ regular and $A\to R$ module-finite torsion-free extension, and every $A$-module $M$, the map $Tor^A_i(M, R)\to…

In this paper, we investigate equivalent characterizations of the condition that every acyclic complex of projective, injective, or flat modules is totally acyclic over a general ring R. We provide examples to illustrate relationships among…

We establish the Hodge conjecture for the top dimensional cohomology group with integer coefficients of any $q$-complete complex manifold $X$ with $q<\dim X$. This holds in particular for the complement $X=\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^n\setminus A$…

We show how for a three-dimensional complete local ring in positive characteristic, the existence of an F-invariant, differentiable derivation implies Hochster's small MCM conjecture. As an application we show that any three-dimensional…

We develop a new method to deal with the Cancellation Conjecture of Zariski in different environments. We prove the conjecture for free associative algebras of rank two. We also produce a new proof of the conjecture for polynomial algebras…

The purpose of this paper is to apply previous work on dormant opers to the study of the moduli space of stable bundles in positive characteristic. We affirmatively resolve the rank $2$ case of a conjecture proposed by the second author,…

The paper introduces a new method to determine all rank two Nichols algebras of diagonal type over fields of positive characteristic.

The Brauer-Thrall Conjectures, now theorems, were originally stated for finitely generated modules over a finite-dimensional $\sk$-algebra. They say, roughly speaking, that infinite representation type implies the existence of lots of…

We prove that the approximation conjecture of Luck holds for all amenable groups in the complex group algebra case. This result was previously proved by Dodziuk, Linnell, Mathai, Schick and Yates under the assumption that the group is…

We briefly review an open conjecture about Higgs bundles that are semistable with after pulling back to any curve, and prove it in the rank 2 case. We also prove a set of inequalities holding for H-nef Higgs bundles that generalize some of…
