Let $Z$ be an affine algebraic variety and $X$ be a smooth flexible variety. We develop some criteria under which $Z$ admits a closed embedding into $X$. In particular, we show that if $X$ is isomorphic (as an algebraic variety) to a…

Let $A_1, A_2,A_3$ be semisimple objects in a neutral tannakian category over a field of characteristic zero. Let $L$ be an extension of $A_2$ by $A_1$, and $N$ an extension of $A_3$ by $A_2$. Let $M$ be a blended extension (extension…

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a surjective morphism of integral schemes. Then $X$ is said to be quasi-galois closed over $Y$ by $f$ if $X$ has a unique conjugate over $Y$ in an algebraically closed field. Such a notion has been applied to the…

In this paper we study extension problems for torsors in positive characteristic. Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$ and $U/F$ be a unipotent algebraic group. As our first main result, we prove that every $U$-torsor defined over the…

It was recently proven by Esnault, Shusterman and the second named author, that the \'etale fundamental group of a connected smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ is finitely presented. In this note, we extend…

Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring of field of fractions $K$ and of residue field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$. In an earlier work, we studied the question of extending torsors on $K$-curves into torsors over $R$-regular models of the…

We give several versions of local and global inverse mapping theorem for tame non necessarily smooth, mappings. Here tame mapping means a mapping which is subanalytic or, more generally, definable in some o-minimal structure. Our sufficient…

We show that certain Tate--Shafarevich groups are unramified which enables us to give an obstruction to the Hasse principle for torsors under tori over p-adic function fields.

Let $X$ be a reduced closed subscheme in $\mathbb P^n$. As a slight generalization of property $\textbf{N}_p$ due to Green-Lazarsfeld, we can say that $X$ satisfies property $\textbf{N}_{2,p}$ scheme-theoretically if there is an ideal $I$…

The main result of this note is a hard Lefschetz theorem for the Chow groups of generalized Kummer varieties. The same argument also proves hard Lefschetz for Chow groups of Hilbert schemes of abelian surfaces. As a consequence, we obtain…

Let $k$ be a field and let $\Omega$ be a universal domain over $k$. Let $f:X \r S$ be a dominant morphism defined over $k$ from a smooth projective variety $X$ to a smooth projective variety $S$ of dimension $\leq 2$ such that the general…

We present an elementary proof of the fact that every torsor for an affine group scheme over an algebraically closed field is trivial. This is related to the uniqueness of fibre functors on neutral tannakian categories.

In this work we study smooth complex quasi-projective surfaces whose fundamental group is a free product of cyclic groups. In particular, we prove the existence of an admissible map from the quasi-projective surface to a smooth complex…

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring. Given a finitely presented affine $R$-group scheme $G$ acting on a separated scheme $X$ of finite type over $R$, we show that there is a prime $p_0$ such that for any $R$-algebra $k$ which is an…

We prove Gieseker conjecture for an homogeneous space $X$, saying that if $X$ has no non-trivial tame coverings then it has no non-trivial regular singular $\mathscr{O}_X$-coherent $\mathscr{D}_{X/k}$-modules. In order to do so we prove a…

It is well known that all torsors under an affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field are trivial. We note that under suitable conditions this also holds if the the group is not necessarily of finite type. This has an…

We consider parahoric Bruhat-Tits group schemes over a smooth projective curve and torsors under them. If the characteristic of the ground field is either zero or positive but not too small and the generic fiber is absolutely simple and…

The Tate conjecture for divisors on varieties over number fields is equivalent to finiteness of $\ell$-primary torsion in the Brauer group. We show that this finiteness is actually uniform in one-dimensional families for varieties that…

Let $M=V\setminus D$ be a smooth quasi-projective variety for some smooth projective variety $V$ and a divisor $D$ with normal crossings. Assume that $M$ is diffeomorphic to a non-compact nilmanifold $\Gamma\backslash N\times\mathbb{R}^m$.…

Among all affine, flat, finitely presented group schemes, we focus on those that are pure, this includes all groups which are extensions of a finite locally free group by a group with connected fibres. We prove that over an arbitrary base…
