In this note we prove injectivity and relative asphericity for "layered" systems of equations over torsion-free groups, when the exponent matrix is invertible over Z. We also give elementary geometric proofs of results due to Bogley-Pride…

We investigate fundamental properties of adjoint functors to the precomposition functor in the category of strict polynomial functors.

Let $f\colon X\rightarrow X$ be a surjective endomorphism of a normal projective variety defined over a number field. The dynamics of $f$ may be studied through the dynamics of the linear action $f^*\colon Pic(X)_\mathbb{R}\rightarrow…

We discuss several enumerative results for irreducible polynomials of a given degree and pairs of relatively prime polynomials of given degrees in several variables over finite fields. Two notions of degree, the {\em total degree} and the…

We show that techniques inspired by Koll\'ar and Viehweg's study of weak positivity, combined with vanishing theorems for log-canonical pairs, lead to new consequences regarding generation and vanishing properties for direct images of…

Let $\theta$ be an algebraic integer and $f(x)=x^{n}+ax^{n-1}+bx+c$ be the minimal polynomial of $\theta$ over the rationals. Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\theta)$ be a number field and $\mathcal{O}_{K}$ be the ring of integers of $K.$ In this…

Given an effective Q-divisor D on a smooth complex variety, one can associate to D its multiplier ideal sheaf J(D), which measures in a somewhat subtle way the singularities of D. Because of their strong vanishing properties, these ideals…

We study the relative Picard group $Pic(f)$ of a map $f:X\to S$ of schemes. If $f$ is faithful affine, it is the relative Cartier divisor group $I(f)$. The relative group $K_0(f)$ has a $\gamma$-filtration, and $Pic(f)$ is the top quotient…

Let $f$ be a normalized, ordinary newform of weight $\ge 2$. For each prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $F=\mathbb{Q}(a_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$, there is an associated $\mathfrak{p}$-adic $L$-function $\mathcal{L}_\mathfrak{p}(f)\in \Lambda \otimes…

One of the basics of calculus is the following proposition: If $F$ and $G$ are antiderivatives of two real functions $f$ and $g$ resp., then an antiderivative of $\lambda f+g$ is $\lambda F + G$. It may be surprising that such systematic an…

In a previous paper, we stated a general almost purity theorem in the style of Faltings: if R is a ring for which the Frobenius maps on finite p-typical Witt vectors over R are surjective, then the integral closure of R in a finite \'etale…

We prove a canonical bundle formula for generically finite morphisms in the setting of generalized pairs (with $\mathbb{R}$-coefficients). This complements Filipazzi's canonical bundle formula for morphisms with connected fibres. It is then…

We study the bicategory of Landau-Ginzburg models, which has potentials as objects and matrix factorisations as 1-morphisms. Our main result is the existence of adjoints in this bicategory and a description of evaluation and coevaluation…

In this paper we characterize, in terms of the prime divisors of $n$, the pairs $(k,n)$ for which $n$ divides $\sum_{j=1}^n j^{k}$. As an application, we study the sets $\mathcal{M}_f :=\{n: n \textrm{divides} \sum_{j=1}^n j^{f(n)} \}$ for…

In this article, we first generalize Kaplansky's zero-divisor conjecture of group-rings $K[G]$ (with $K$ a field) to the more general setting of $G$-graded rings $R=\bigoplus\limits_{n\in G}R_{n}$ with $G$ a torsion-free group. Then we…

This paper addresses two of Kaplansky's conjectures concerning group rings $K[G]$, where $K$ is a field and $G$ is a torsion-free group: the zero-divisor conjecture, which asserts that $K[G]$ has no non-trivial zero-divisors, and the unit…

For each pair of lax-idempotent pseudomonads $R$ and $I$, for which $I$ is locally fully faithful and $R$ distributes over $I$, we establish an adjoint functor theorem, relating $R$-cocontinuity to adjointness relative to $I$. This provides…

If the log canonical divisor on a projective variety with only Kawamata log terminal singularities is numerically equivalent to some semi-ample $\mathbf{Q}$-divisor, then it is semi-ample.

We give a generalization of the duality of a zero-dimensional complete intersection to the case of one-dimensional almost complete intersections, which results in a {\em Gorenstein module} $M=I/J$. In the real case the resulting pairing has…

We prove an analogue of the classical Bateman-Horn conjecture on prime values of polynomials for the ring of polynomials over a large finite field. Namely, given non-associate, irreducible, separable and monic (in the variable $x$)…
