We study symmetric correspondences with completely decomposable minimal equation on smooth projective curves $C$. The Jacobian of $C$ then decomposes correspondingly. For all positive integers $g$ and $\ell$, we give series of examples of…

Let $X$ be a complex projective surface with arbitrary singularities. We construct a generalized Abel--Jacobi map $A_0(X)\to J^2(X)$ and show that it is an isomorphism on torsion subgroups. Here $A_0(X)$ is the appropriate Chow group of…

In the context of representation theory of finite dimensional algebras, string algebras have been extensively studied and most aspects of their representation theory are well-understood. One exception to this is the classification of…

We show that if there exists a topologically expansive homeomorphism on a uniform space, then the space is always a regular space. Through examples we show that in general composition of topologically expansive homeomorphisms need not be…

We study how to construct explicit deformations of generic smooth maps from closed $n$--dimensional manifolds $M$ with $n \geq 2$ to the $2$--sphere $S^2$ and show that every smooth map $M \to S^2$ is homotopic to a $C^\infty$ stable map…

We are concerned with the behavior of the polynomial maps $F=(P,Q)$ of $\mathbb{C}^2$ with finite fibres and satisfying the condition that all of the curves $aP+bQ=0$, $(a:b)\in \mathbb{P}^1$, are irreducible rational curves. The obtained…

We give conditions under which a germ of a holomorphic mapping in $\Bbb C^N$, mapping an irreducible real algebraic set into another of the same dimension, is actually algebraic. Let $A\subset \bC^N$ be an irreducible real algebraic set.…

In this paper, motivated by a problem posed by Barry Mazur, we show that for smooth projective varieties over the rationals, the odd cohomology groups of degree less than or equal to the dimension can be modeled by the cohomology of an…

Let $g \geq 2$ and let the Torelli map denote the map sending a genus $g$ curve to its principally polarized Jacobian. We show that the restriction of the Torelli map to the hyperelliptic locus is an immersion in characteristic not $2$. In…

Let $\partial \,\mathcal{C}$ be the boundary of a compact convex body $\mathcal{C}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n,\, n\geq 2$, and $O$ be an interior point of $\mathcal C$. Every straight line $l$ containing $O$ cuts from $\mathcal{C}$ a segment $[AB]$…

We show that if $E$ is a closed convex set in $\mathbb C^n$ $(n>1)$ contained in a closed halfspace $H$ such that $E\cap bH$ is nonempty and bounded, then the concave domain $\Omega = \mathbb C^n\setminus E$ contains images of proper…

We introduce jacobian graphs, which are explicit families of regular graphs that are spectrally indistinguishable from random graphs, but whose local structure is very different from that of random graphs. The construction relies on the…

Answering a question of Ed Schaefer, we show that if J is the Jacobian of a curve C over a number field, if s is an automorphism of J coming from an automorphism of C, and if u lies in the subring Z[s] of End J and has connected kernel,…

Suppose that $\pi \: Y \to X$ is a finite map of normal varieties over a perfect field of characteristic $p > 0$. Previous work of the authors gave a criterion for when Frobenius splittings on $X$ (or more generally any $p^{-e}$-linear map)…

This paper studies the components of the moduli space of rank 1, torsion-free sheaves, or compactified Jacobian, of a non-Gorenstein curve. We exhibit a generically reduced component of dimension equal to the arithmetic genus and prove that…

The Prym map assigns to each covering of curves a polarized abelian variety. In the case of unramified cyclic covers of curves of genus two, we show that the Prym map is ramified precisely on the locus of bielliptic covers. The key…

We observe that general reducible curves in sufficiently positive linear systems on K3 surfaces are of a form that generalises Kodaira's classification of singular elliptic fibres and thus call them extended ADE curves. On such a curve $C$,…

We consider *-linear maps into a commutative C*-algebra C (X) of continuous functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space X with certain specified properties and prove two results: (1) an extension result for a class of *-linear maps Y -->…

We study the asymptotic expansion of smooth one-dimensional maps. We give an example of an interval map for which the optimal shrinking of components exponential rate is not attained for any neighborhood of a certain fixed point in the…

This paper describes the theory of Jacobi curves, a far reaching extension of the spaces of Jacobi fields along Riemannian geodesics, developed by Agrachev and Zelenko. Jacobi curves are curves in the Lagrangian Grassmannian of a symplectic…
