We discuss the Singer conjecture and Gromov-L\"uck inequality $\chi \geq |\sigma|$ for aspherical complex surfaces. We give a proof of the Singer conjecture for aspherical complex surface with residually finite fundamental group that does…

For any affine hypersurface defined by a complete symmetric polynomial in $k\geq 3$ variables of degree $m$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of $q$ elements, a special case of our theorem says that this hypersurface has at least…

Any set of $\sigma$-Hermitian matrices of size $n \times n$ over a field with involution $\sigma$ gives rise to a projective line in the sense of ring geometry and a projective space in the sense of matrix geometry. It is shown that the two…

In this paper we consider a generalization of a well known result by Veronese about rational normal curves. More precisely, given a collection of linear spaces in $\PP^n$ we study the existence of rational normal curves intersecting each…

In this paper, we propose a geometrical proof of the generalized mirror transformation of genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants of degree k hypersurface in CP^{N-1}.

For oriented surfaces $\Sigma$ with boundary, we consider the infinite-dimensional deformation space of projective structures on $\Sigma$ with nondegenerate boundary, up to isotopies fixing the boundary. We show that this space carries a…

We consider (projectively) linearly sofic groups, i.e. groups which can be approximated using (projective) matrices over arbitrary fields, as a generalization of sofic groups. We generalize known results for sofic groups and groups which…

We perform a detailed analysis of first order Sobolev-regular infinitesimal isometries on developable surfaces without affine regions. We prove that given enough regularity of the surface, any first order infinitesimal isometry can be…

This paper introduces the trivial fiber topology on schemes. For one-dimensional base schemes, we use it to describe fibrant replacements in the stable motivic homotopy category and motivic infinite loop spaces. We also extend the…

We examine complements (inside products of a smooth projective complex curve of arbitrary genus) of unions of diagonals indexed by the edges of an arbitrary simple graph. We use Gysin models associated to these quasi-projective manifolds to…

Non-Hermitian random matrices with symplectic symmetry provide examples for Pfaffian point processes in the complex plane. These point processes are characterised by a matrix valued kernel of skew-orthogonal polynomials. We develop their…

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…

We give explicit formulae for the logarithmic class group pairing on an elliptic curve defined over a number field. Then we relate it to the descent relative to a suitable cyclic isogeny. This allows us to connect the resulting Selmer group…

We provide formulas for the degrees of the projections of the locus of square matrices with given rank from linear spaces spanned by a choice of matrix entries. The motivation for these computations stem from applications to `matrix…

We construct examples of non-projective normal proper algebraic surfaces and discuss the pathological behaviour of their Neron-Severi group. Our surfaces are birational to the product of a projective line and a curve of higher genus.

We discuss some applications of an intrinsic multipication in the space of simple loops in a surface.

In this article we use techniques developed by Hrushovski-Loeser to study certain metric properties of the Berkovich analytification of a finite morphism of smooth connected projective curves. In recent work, M. Temkin proved a radiality…

We introduce a generalization of symmetric functions and apply the resulting theory to compute the class in the Grothendieck ring of varieties of the space of geometrically irreducible hypersurfaces of a fixed degree in projective space.

In this paper we describe an algorithm for implicitizing rational hypersurfaces in case there exists at most a finite number of base points. It is based on a technique exposed in math.AG/0210096, where implicit equations are obtained as…

This is a revised version of a part of the author's preprint "On p-adic uniformization of fake projective planes" (preprint, Max-Planck-Institut fuer Mathematik, 1998 (121)). In this paper we construct explicitly a Shimura surface of…
