Given a proper toric variety and a line bundle on it, we describe the morphism on singular cohomology given by the cup product with the Chern class of that line bundle in terms of the data of the associated fan. Using that, we relate the…
We prove that adjoint orbits of semisimple Lie algebras have the structure of symplectic Lefschetz fibrations. We then describe the topology of the regular and singular fibres, in particular calculating their middle Betti numbers. For the…
This work builds on earlier work of the first three authors where a notion of congruence modules in higher codimension is introduced. The main new results are a criterion for detecting regularity of local rings in terms of congruence…
In this expositional paper, we discuss commutative algebra -- a study inspired by the properties of integers, rational numbers, and real numbers. In particular, we investigate rings and ideals, and their various properties. After, we…
The algebra of smooth translation-invariant valuations on convex bodies, introduced by S.Alesker in the early 2000s, was in part proved and in part conjectured to satisfy properties formally analogous to those of the cohomology ring of a…
We construct a new Weil cohomology for smooth projective varieties over a field, universal among Weil cohomologies with values in rigid additive tensor categories. A similar universal problem for Weil cohomologies with values in rigid…
This is a slightly revised version of lectures notes for a course in Summer 2022 joint between Bonn and Copenhagen, intended as a stable citable version. The goal of this course is to make our general approach to analytic geometry via…
We initiate a study of positive multisections of Lefschetz fibrations via positive factorizations in framed mapping class groups of surfaces. Using our methods, one can effectively capture various interesting symplectic surfaces in…
We show a number of properties of the commutator algebra of a nilpotent matrix over a field. In particular we determine the simple modules of the commutator algebra. Then the results are applied to prove that certain Artinian complete…
We consider the Lifshitz topological transitions and the corresponding changes in the galvanomagnetic properties of a metal from the point of view of the general classification of open electron trajectories arising on Fermi surfaces of…
The Gorenstein property in local algebra admits several characterizations via its module category. The goal of this paper is to collect and generalize such characterizations to the relative setting, i.e., to Gorenstein morphisms as defined…
We explain how some results of M. Nori (on motives) and F. Ivorra (on perverse motives) can be used to define "motivic" versions of Lyubeznik numbers, a set of numerical invariants for local rings. We also discuss on additional structures…
These are notes for a Ph.D.\ course I held at SISSA, Trieste, in the Winter 2025. We review well-known topics in Riemannian geometry where Lie groups play a fundamental role. Part of the theory of compact connected Lie groups, their…
We give an informal exposition of pushforwards and orientations in generalized cohomology theories in the language of spectra. The whole note can be seen as an attempt at convincing the reader that Todd classes in…
These notes illustrates the power of formulating ideas of commutative algebra in a homotopy invariant form. They can then be applied to derived categories of rings or ring spectra. These ideas are powerful in classical algebra, in…
These are expanded notes of a seminar held in Columbia university during the Spring and Fall of 2024 about the theory of analytic stacks of Clausen and Scholze, with a focus in the theory of solid mathematics. The seminar is inspired from…
In this paper we identify many striking elements in Leibniz (co)homology which arise from characteristic classes and K-theory. For a group G a field k of characteristic zero, it is shown that all primary characteristic classes, i.e. H^*(BG;…
We study the interplay between the notions of $n$-coherent rings and finitely $n$-presented modules, and also study the relative homological algebra associated to them. We show that the $n$-coherency of a ring is equivalent to the thickness…
In this paper, we first study the local rings of a Berkovich analytic space from the point of view of commutative algebra. We show that those rings are excellent ; we introduce the notion of a an analytically separable extension of…
As more of topology's tools become popular in analyzing high dimensional data sets, the goal of understanding the underlying probabilistic properties of these tools becomes even more important. While much attention has been given to…
