In ``New Proofs of the structure theorems for Witt Rings'', Lewis shows how the standard ring-theoretic results on the Witt ring can be deduced in a quick and elementary way from the fact that the Witt ring of a field is integral and from…
We prove a relative Kawamata Viehweg vanishing type theorem for birational morphisms. We use this to prove a Grauert Riemenschneider theorem over log canonical threefolds without zero dimensional log canonical centers, in residue…
We present a new structure theorem for finite fields of odd order that relates multiplicative and additive structure in an interesting way. This theorem has several applications, including an improved understanding of Dickson and Chebyshev…
We prove that the higher direct images of the structure sheaf under a birational and projective morphism between excellent and regular schemes vanish.
Fix a variety X with a transitive (left) action by an algebraic group G. Let E and F be coherent sheaves on X. We prove that, for elements g in a dense open subset of G, the sheaf Tor_i^X(E, g F) vanishes for all i > 0. When E and F are…
The goal of this small note is to give a more concise proof of a result due to Berthelot, Esnault, and R\"ulling. For a regular, proper, and flat scheme $X$ over a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic $(0,p)$, it relates the…
We prove the relative Grauert-Riemenschneider vanishing, Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing, and Koll\'ar injectivity theorems for proper morphisms of schemes of equal characteristic zero, solving conjectures of Boutot and Kawakita. Our proof uses…

We study intersection theoretic problems in the setting of Chow-Witt groups with coefficients in a fixed Milnor-Witt cycle algebra over a perfect field. We prove that the product maps on such groups satisfy the following property: given two…
Using algebraic cycles as a medium, we prove that the groups of the big (Hesselholt-Madsen) de Rham-Witt forms over arbitrary fields are isomorphic to the relative improved (Gabber-Kerz) Milnor $K$-groups of Artin local algebras of…
We prove that the homotopy algebraic K-theory of tame quasi-DM stacks satisfies cdh-descent. We apply this descent result to prove that if X is a Noetherian tame quasi-DM stack and i < -dim(X), then K_i(X)[1/n] = 0 (resp. K_i(X, Z/n) = 0)…
Given an embedded smooth projective variety Y in CP^n, we show how the existence of a hypersurface with high multiplicity along Y, but of relatively low degree and log canonical near Y implies vanishing of higher cohomology for certain…
We prove a general vanishing theorem for the cohomology of products of symmetric and skew-symmetric powers of an ample vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety. Special cases include an extension of classical theorems of…
Given an n-dimensional variety Z with rational singularities, we conjecture that for a resolution of singularities whose reduced exceptional divisor E has simple normal crossings, the (n-1)-th higher direct image of the sheaf of…
Let $f:X\rightarrow Y$ be a smooth fibration between two complex manifolds $X$ and $Y$, and let $L$ be a pseudo-effective line bundle on $X$. We obtain a sufficient condition for $R^{q}f_{\ast}(K_{X/Y}\otimes L)$ to be reflexive and hence…
We study fundamental forms of algebraic varieties using the sheaves of principal parts of line bundles and establish a vanishing theorem for any order fundamental forms. We also give connection of fundamental forms with the higher order…
In this paper, we will show that the sheaf of p-adic vanishing cycles of a log smooth family over a DVR of mixed characteristic is generated by Milnor symboles. A key ingredient is a computation (due to K. Kato) on the graded quotients of a…
In this paper, we clarify the mistakes made in the former article entitled "Vanishing Theorems on Toric Varieties in Positive Characteristic". On the other hand, we use the positive characteristic method to reprove the Bott vanishing…

This paper is about sheaf cohomology for varieties (schemes) in characteristic $p>0$. We assume the presence of a Frobenius splitting. (See V.B. Mehta and A. Ramanathan, Frobenius splitting and cohomology vanishing for Schubert varieties,…
