Inspired by a theorem of Gruson-Lazarsfeld-Peskine bounding the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of curves in projective spaces, we bound the Theta-regularity of curves in polarized abelian varieties.

For an affine toric variety $\spec(A)$, we give a convex geometric interpretation of the Gerstenhaber product $\HH^2(A)\times \HH^2(A)\to \HH^3(A)$ between the Hochschild cohomology groups. In the case of Gorenstein toric surfaces we prove…

Let $\eta$ be a polarization with connected kernel on a superspecial abelian variety $E^g$. We give a sufficient criterion which allows the computation of the theta nullvalues of any quotient of $E^g$ by a maximal isotropic subgroup scheme…

For all convex co-compact hyperbolic surfaces, we prove the existence of an essential spectral gap, that is a strip beyond the unitarity axis in which the Selberg zeta function has only finitely many zeroes. We make no assumption on the…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\geq 4$ over the complex numbers and ${\cal SU}^s_C(r,d)$ be the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank $r$ with a fixed determinant of degree $d$. In the projectivized cotangent space…

We exhibit a non-hyperelliptic curve C of genus 3 such that the class of the Ceresa cycle [C]-[-C] in the intermediate Jacobian of JC is torsion.

We study the family of algebraic curves of genus $\geq 1$ defined by the affine equations $y^s=ax^r+b$ over a number field $k$, where $r \geq 2$ and $s\geq 2$ are fixed integers. Assuming the strong version of Lang's conjecture on varieties…

We consider the algebraic degeneracy of holomorphic curves from a point of view of meromorphic vector fields. Employing the notion of Jocabian sections introduced by W. Stoll, we establish a Second Main Theorem type inequality. As…

We prove the following converse of Riemann's Theorem: let (A,\Theta) be an indecomposable principally polarized abelian variety whose theta divisor can be written as a sum of a curve and a codimension two subvariety \Theta=C+Y. Then C is…

For a Gorenstein curve X and a nonsingular point P of X, we construct Abel maps A from X to J_X^1 and A_P from X to J_X^0, where J_X^i is the moduli scheme for simple, torsion-free, rank-1 sheaves on X of degree i. The image curves of A and…

Consider degenerations of Abelian differentials with prescribed number and multiplicity of zeros and poles. Motivated by the theory of limit linear series, we define twisted canonical divisors on pointed nodal curves to study degenerate…

We prove the existence of abelian varieties not isogenous to Jacobians over characterstic $p$ function fields. Our methods involve studying the action of degree $p$ Hecke operators on hypersymmetric points, as well as their effect on the…

The Ceresa cycle is a canonical algebraic $1$-cycle on the Jacobian of an algebraic curve. We construct an algorithm which, given a curve over a number field, often provides a certificate that the Ceresa cycle is non-torsion, without…

We construct a Leray-Serre spectral sequence for fibre bundles for de Rham sheaf cohomology on noncommutative algebras. The morphisms are bimodules with zero-curvature extendable bimodule connections. This generalises definitions involving…

Let $X$ (resp. $Y$) be a curve of genus 1 (resp. 2) over a base field $k$ whose characteristic does not equal 2. We give criteria for the existence of a curve $Z$ over $k$ whose Jacobian is up to twist (2,2,2)-isogenous to the products of…

Through the theory of Lie bi-algebroids and generalized complex structures, one could define a cohomology theory naturally associated to a holomorphic Poisson structure. It is known that it is the hypercohomology of a bi-complex such that…

We give an elementary proof of the fact that a pure-dimensional closed subvariety of a complex abelian variety has a signed intersection homology Euler characteristic. We also show that such subvarieties which, moreover, are local complete…

We prove that if q is a power of an odd prime then there is no genus-2 curve over F_q whose Jacobian has characteristic polynomial of Frobenius equal to x^4 + (2-2q)x^2 + q^2. Our proof uses the Brauer relations in a biquadratic extension…

In 2012, Zilber used model-theoretic techniques to show that a curve of high genus over an algebraically closed field is determined by its Jacobian (viewed only as an abstract group with a distinguished subset for an image of the curve). In…

We use the non-proper Morse theory of Palais-Smale to investigate the topology of smooth closed subvarieties of complex semi-abelian varieties, and that of their infinite cyclic covers. As main applications, we obtain the finite generation…
