We prove a conjecture of Lehmann-Tanimoto about the behaviour of the Fujita invariant (or $a$-constant appearing in Manin's conjecture) under pull-back to generically finite covers. As a consequence we obtain results about geometric…

We extend Poonen's Bertini theorem over finite fields to Taylor conditions arising from locally free quotients of the sheaf of differentials on projective space. This is motivated by a result of Bilu and Howe in the motivic setting that…

I show, on the most elementary grounds, its classical ultraviolet catastrophe, that even source-free General Relativity must be quantized, despite some eminent opinions to the contrary, an original result involving some rather tricky…

We prove a version of the fundamental theorems of Morse Theory in the setting of finite spaces or partially ordered sets. By using these results we extend Forman's discrete Morse theory to more general cell complexes and derive the…

We study Torelli-type theorems in the Zariski topology for varieties of dimension at least 2, over arbitrary fields. In place of the Hodge structure, we use the linear equivalence relation on Weil divisors. Using this setup, we prove a…

We provide a new condition for an absolutely almost simple algebraic group to have good reduction with respect to a discrete valuation of the base field which is formulated in terms of the existence of maximal tori with special properties.…

We compute the divisor class group of the general hypersurface Y of a complex projective normal variety X of dimension at least four containing a fixed base locus Z. We deduce that completions of normal local complete intersection domains…

Very simple sufficient conditions for the irreducibility of $f(X^n)$ over an arbitrary unique factorization domain $Z$ are established via a generalization of a well known theorem of A. Capelli.

We recall first the relations between the syzygies of the Jacobian ideal of the defining equation for a projective hypersurface $V$ with isolated singularities and the versality properties of $V$, as studied by du Plessis and Wall. Then we…

We use knowledge of local fields to adapt Jonathan Lubin and Michael Rosen's proof of Mazur's Proposition 4.39. This changes the result about abelian varieties from only working over local fields with a finite residue field to working with…

The purpose of this note is to give a simple proof of the following theorem: Let $X$ be a normal projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$, $\op{char} k = 0$ and let $D \subset X$ be a proper closed subvariety of $X$. Then…

We prove some basic properties of the relative Nakayama-Zariski decomposition. We apply them to the study of lc generalized pairs. We prove the existence of log minimal models or Mori fiber spaces for (relative) lc generalized pairs…

Let P^n denote the n-dimensional projective space defined over the algebraic closure of a finite field F_q, let V contained P^n be a complete intersection defined over F_q of dimension r and singular locus of dimension at most s, and let…

Given an invertible sheaf on a fibre space between projective varieties of positive characteristic, we show that fibrewise semi-ampleness implies relative semi-ampleness. The same statement fails in characteristic zero.

Multilinear varieties, defined as the sets of rational points of varieties cut out by multilinear functions, were first introduced and studied by Gowers and Mili\'{c}evi\'{c}[Proc. Edinb. Math. Soc., 2021] for finite $\mathbb{K}$. In this…

We show that under some conditions, two constructions of nearby cycles over general bases coincide. More specifically, we show that under the assumption of $\Psi$-factorizability, the constructions of unipotent nearby cycles over an affine…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, and let $X\subseteq\mathbb{P}^n_k$ be a quasi-projective variety that is $F$-rational and $F$-pure. We prove that if $H \subseteq \mathbb{P}^n_k$ is a general hyperplane,…

Zariski decomposition plays an important role in the theory of algebraic surfaces due to many applications. For irreducible symplectic manifolds Boucksom provided a characterization of his divisorial Zariski decomposition in terms of the…

The original proof of the Sharkovsky theorem is presented in full detail. The proof should be accessible to readers with basic Real Analysis background. Although nowadays there are several alternative proofs of this classical result, we…

We investigate the structure of polynomials of degree four in many variables over a fixed prime field $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_{p}$. In 2007, Green and Tao proved that if a polynomial $f:\mathbb{F}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{F}$ is poorly…
