This paper addresses the problem of calculating the Amitsur subgroup of a proper $k$-scheme. Under mild hypothesis, we calculate this subgroup for proper $k$-varieties $X$ with $\mathrm{Pic}(X)\simeq \mathbb{Z}^{\oplus m}$, using a…

We study the Picard groups of moduli spaces in positive characteristics and we give a "$p$-adic" proof that the Picard group of moduli of vector bundles of fixed determinant is isomorphic to the group of integers. Along the way we prove…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and $G$ a finite group. We prove that for all $n\geq 2$, the $n$th Amitsur group is a stable $G$-birational invariant of smooth projective $G$-varieties over $k$. This was previously known for…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a smooth, projective and geometrically integral curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$. Let $A$ be the ring of function of $\mathcal{C}$ that are regular outside a closed point $P$ and let $k=\mathrm{Quot}(A)$.…

We first study the descent theory of line bundles under a morphism which is tors or under a group stack and then use this technical result to determine the exact structure of $\Pic(\M_G)$ where $G=\SL_r/\mu_s$ (we include a minor…

We study the Picard groups of connected linear algebraic groups, and especially the subgroup of translation-invariant line bundles. We prove that this subgroup is finite over every global function field. We also utilize our study of these…

We present an averaging process for sections of a torsor under a unipotent group. This process allows one to integrate local sections of such a torsor into a global simplicial section. The results of this paper have applications to…

We obtain an explicit upper bound on the torsion of the Picard group of the forms of the affine line and their regular completions. We also obtain a sufficient condition for the Picard group of the forms of the affine line to be non trivial…

Let $B$ be a twisted Poisson manifold with a fixed tropical affine structure given by a period bundle $P$. In this paper, we study the classification of almost symplectically complete isotropic realizations (ASCIRs) over $B$ in the spirit…

In this paper we consider the problem of group invariant subspace clustering where the data is assumed to come from a union of group-invariant subspaces of a vector space, i.e. subspaces which are invariant with respect to action of a given…

We give an algorithm which computes a presentation for a subgroup, denoted $\AM_{g,1,p}$, of the automorphism group of a free group. It is known that $\AM_{g,1,p}$ is isomorphic to the mapping-class group of an orientable genus-$g$ surface…

We study analogues of the usual Picard group for smooth analytic or non-singular algebraic varieties but instead of line bundles we study line bundles with a connection. We choose an approach which works for both cases.

For $4 \nmid L$ and $g$ large, we calculate the integral Picard groups of the moduli spaces of curves and principally polarized abelian varieties with level $L$ structures. In particular, we determine the divisibility properties of the…

Using the Atiyah class we give a criterion for a vector bundle on a coisotropic subvariety, $Y$, of an algebraic Poisson variety $X$ to admit a first and second order noncommutative deformation. We also show noncommutative deformations of a…

We characterize rational actions of the additive group on algebraic varieties defined over a field of characteristic zero in terms of a suitable integrability property of their associated velocity vector fields. This extends the classical…

We use certain special prehomogeneous representations of algebraic groups in order to construct aCM vector bundles, possibly Ulrich, on certain families of hypersurfaces. Among other results, we show that a general cubic hypersurface of…

We calculate the Picard group of generic (very general) spectral varieties living in the total space of a very ample line bundle over an algebraically closed field $k$ of odd characteristics or characteristic 0. We follow the strategy of…

We consider a generalization of representations of quivers that can be derived from the ordinary representations of quivers by considering a product of arbitrary classical groups instead of a product of the general linear groups and by…

We systematically produce algebraic varieties with torus action by constructing them as suitably embedded subvarieties of toric varieties. The resulting varieties admit an explicit treatment in terms of toric geometry and graded ring…

We initiate the study of group actions on (possibly infinite) semimatroids and geometric semilattices. To every such action is naturally associated an orbit-counting function, a two-variable "Tutte" polynomial and a poset which, in the…
