It is a very old and interesting open problem to characterize those collections of embedded topological types of local plane curve singularities which may appear as singularities of a projective plane curve C of degree d. The goal of the…

In this paper, a $\mathbb{Q}$HD singularity is a weighted homogeneous normal surface singularity admitting a rational homology disk ($\mathbb{Q}$HD) smoothing. These singularities are rational but often not log canonical. We classify all…

We prove several results on the number of rational points on open subsets of Kummer varieties of arbitrary dimension. Some of our results are unconditional, and others depend on the Parity Conjecture (a corollary of the Conjecture of Birch…

Let $k$ be a field, $X$ a variety with tame quotient singularities and $\tilde{X}\to X$ a resolution of singularities. Any smooth rational point $x\in X(k)$ lifts to $\tilde{X}$ by the Lang-Nishimura theorem, but if $x$ is singular this…

The general analysis of the rare Bc->D^*_s l^+ l^- decay is presented by using the most general, model independent effective Hamiltonian. The dependencies of the branching ratios, longitudinal, normal and transversal polarization…

The philosophy of the article is that the desingularization invariant together with natural geometric information can be used to compute local normal forms of singularities. The idea is used in two related problems: (1) We give a proof of…

Let H be a homology theory for algebraic varieties over a field k. To a complete k-variety X, one naturally attaches an ideal of the coefficient ring H(k). We show that, when X is regular, this ideal depends only on the upper Chow motive of…

We provide a uniform approach to obtain sufficient criteria for a (higher order) fixed point of a given bracket structure on a manifold to be stable under deformations. Examples of bracket structures include Lie algebroids, Lie…

One way to understand more about spacetime singularities is to construct solutions of the Einstein equations containing singularities with prescribed properties. The heuristic ideas of the BKL picture suggest that oscillatory singularities…

Let $k$ be a nonperfect separably closed field. Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over $k$. We study rationality problems for Serre's notion of complete reducibility of subgroups of $G$. In particular, we present a…

In this paper we extend the notion of Futaki invariant to big and nef classes in such a way that it defines a continuous function on the \K\ cone up to the boundary. We apply this concept to prove that reduced normal crossing singularities…

Let M be a meromorphic connection with poles along a smooth divisor D in a smooth algebraic variety. Let Sol M be the solution complex of M. We prove that the good formal decomposition locus of M coincides with the locus where the…

We construct differential equivariant K-theory of representable smooth orbifolds as a ring valued functor with the usual properties of a differential extension of a cohomology theory. For proper submersions (with smooth fibres) we construct…

We introduce a lifting property for local cohomology, which leads to a unified treatment of the dualizing complex for flat morphisms with semi-log-canonical, Du Bois or F-pure fibers. As a consequence we obtain that, in all 3 cases, the…

Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristics $(0,p)$, with finite residue field $k$ and fraction field $K$, let $k'$ be a finite extension of $k$, and let $X$ be a regular, proper and flat $R$-scheme, with generic fibre…

Let $(Z,o)$ be a three-dimensional terminal singularity of type $cA/r$. We prove that all exceptional divisors over $o$ with discrepancies $\le 1$ are rational.

We introduce the notion of the $k$-closure of a group of automorphisms of a locally finite tree, and give several examples of the construction. We show that the $k$-closure satisfies a new property of automorphism groups of trees that…

We adapt algorithms for resolving the singularities of complex algebraic varieties to prove that the natural map of homology theories from complex bordism to the bordism theory of complex derived orbifolds splits. In equivariant stable…

The Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for smooth complex varieties states that algebraic and topological K-theory with finite coefficients become isomorphic in high degrees. We define the "Lichtenbaum-Quillen dimension" of a variety in terms…

We study singular solutions to the fractional Laplace equation and, more generally, to nonlocal linear equations with measurable kernels. We establish B\^ocher type results that characterize the behavior of singular solutions near the…
