We compute the l^2-Betti numbers of the complement of a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in complex space. At most one of the l^2-Betti numbers is non-zero.

Let $\Delta$ be a stable simplicial complex on $n$ vertexes. Over an arbitrary base field $K$, the symmetric algebraic shifted complex $\Delta^s$ of $\Delta$ is defined. It is proved that the Betti numbers of the Stanley-Reisner ideals in…

Let X be a del Pezzo surface of degree one over an algebraically closed field (of any characteristic), and let Cox(X) be its total coordinate ring. We prove the missing case of a conjecture of Batyrev and Popov, which states that Cox(X) is…

In this paper, we define the spaces with a regular base at non-isolated points and discuss some metrization theorems. We firstly show that a space $X$ is a metrizable space, if and only if $X$ is a regular space with a $\sigma$-locally…

We study inequalities between graded Betti numbers of ideals in a standard graded algebra over a field and their images under embedding maps, defined earlier by us in [Math. Z. 274, (2013), no. 3-4, pp. 809-819; arXiv:1009.4488]. We show…

We study ideals generated by $n+1$ powers of general linear forms in $R= k[x_1,\dots,x_n]$. By generalizing the ideas in a recent paper of Diethorn et al., we determine the Betti numbers of such ideals when at least one generator is a…

We show that for any degree $d$ hypersurface $Y \subset X$ in a possibly singular projective variety $X \subset \mathbf{P}^N$, the total Betti number of $Y$ is bounded by $3\text{deg}(X)\cdot d^n + C\cdot d^{n-1}$ for some explicit constant…

We investigate a representation of the automorphism group of a connected graph $X$ in the group of unimodular matrices $U_\beta$ of dimension $\beta$, where $\beta$ is the Betti number of graph $X$. We classify the graphs for which the…

The classical Bertini theorem on generic intersection of an algebraic set with hyperplanes states the following: \emph{Let X be a nonsingular closed subvariety of $\mathbb{P}^n_k$, where $k$ is an algebraically closed field. Then there…

Over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of zero characteristic polynomial map $\xi: \mathbb{F}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{F}^n$ of the form $\xi(x)=x-((xA_1)^{3}, (xA_2)^{3},..., (xA_n)^{3})$, where $x=(x_1,x_2,...,x_n)$ a row vector of…

Given a point $\xi$ on a complex abelian variety $A$, its abelian logarithm can be expressed as a linear combination of the periods of $A$ with real coefficients, the Betti coordinates of $\xi$. When $(A, \xi)$ varies in an algebraic…

We analyze the vanishing and non-vanishing behavior of the graded Betti numbers for Segre embeddings of products of projective spaces. We give lower bounds for when each of the rows of the Betti table becomes non-zero, and prove that our…

Let $S = K[x_1, ..., x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ with each $\deg x_i = 1$. Let $\Delta$ be a simplicial complex on $[n] = \{1, ..., n \}$ and $I_\Delta \subset S$ its Stanley--Reisner ideal. We write…

Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth geometrically integral projective surface over a field. In this paper we give an effective bound in terms of the Neron--Severi rank $\rho(X)$ of $X$ for the number of irreducible curves $C$ on $X$ with…

The comparison theorem for a smooth projective variety $X$ over $\mathbb{C}$ tells us that the Betti numbers are independent of $l$. We aim to understand the $l$ independence of Betti numbers for smooth projective varieties $X$ over $k$,…

We are interested in the maximal values of the Betti numbers b_i({\mathbb R}X_m^n) for fixed i,m,n; where {\mathbb R}X_m^n is the real part of a real nonsingular hypersurface of degree m in the complex projective space {\mathbb C}P^n, and…

Let $X$ be an algebraic scheme over an algebraically closed field and $\ell$ a prime number invertible on $X$. According to classical results (due essentially to A. Grothendieck, M. Artin and P. Deligne), the \'etale cohomology groups…

We use stratified Morse theory for a manifold with corners to give a new bound for the sum of the Betti numbers of a hypersurface in R^n_> defined by a polynomial with n+l+1 terms.

We show that if a collection of lines in a vector space over a finite field has "dimension" at least 2(d-1) + beta, then its union has "dimension" at least d + beta. This is the sharp estimate of its type when no structural assumptions are…
