This paper shows that for certain local topological properties, given a locally quasi-finite, flat and locally finitely presented map of schemes $f\colon X\to Y$, if $Y$ has the property, then so does $X$. We also show that being locally…

We prove that any surjective self-morphism with $\delta_f > 1$ on a potentially dense smooth projective surface defined over a number field $K$ has densely many $L$-rational points for a finite extension $L/K$.

The spaces D, S and E' over \mathbb{R}^(n) are known to be flat modules over A=\mathbb{C}[\partial_{1},...,\partial_{n}], whereas their duals D', S' and E are known to be injective modules over the same ring. Let A be a Noetherian k-algebra…

We consider a rational map f:S->S of a complex projective surface together with an invariant meromorphic two form. Under a mild topological assumption on the map, we show that the zeroes of the invariant form can be eliminated by birational…

An action of a complex reductive group $\mathrm G$ on a smooth projective variety $X$ is regular when all regular unipotent elements in $\mathrm G$ act with finitely many fixed points. Then the complex $\mathrm G$-equivariant cohomology…

We investigate flat morphisms of schemes of positive characteristic whose relative Frobenius is an isomorphism, which we call pristine. We show that these give rise to a natural Grothendieck topology that is fine tuned for the localization…

In this paper we present a systematic study of the reflexivity properties of homologically finite complexes with respect to semidualizing complexes in the setting of nonlocal rings. One primary focus is the descent of these properties over…

We prove that if $f: (R,\m) \to (S,\n)$ is a flat local homomorphism, $S/\m S$ is Cohen-Macaulay and $F$-injective, and $R$ and $S$ share a weak test element, then a tight closure analogue of the (standard) formula for depth and regular…

Let $f\colon X \to \mathbb{A}^1_t$ be an affine flat morphism of finite type, and let $V = f^{-1}(0)$. Then, we obtain a morphism of log schemes $f\colon (X|V) \to (\mathbb{A}^1_t|0)$. In this article, we develop algorithmic tools to study…

A map of fine log schemes $X \to Y$ induces a map from the scheme underlying $X$ to Olsson's algebraic stack of strict morphisms of fine log schemes over $Y$. A sheaf on $X$ is called \emph{log flat over} $Y$ iff it is flat over this…

Let $K=k(C)$ be the function field of a smooth projective curve $C$ over an infinite field $k$, let $X$ be a projective variety over $k$. We prove two results. First, we show with some conditions that a $K$-morphism $\phi: X_K \to X_K$ of…

Fix a noetherian scheme S. For any flat map f: X->Y of separated essentially-finite-type perfect S-schemes we define a canonical derived-category map c(f):\H(X)->f^!\H(Y), the fundamental class of f, where \H(Z) is the (pre-)Hochschild…

Let $X$ be a connected Oka manifold, and let $S$ be a Stein manifold with $\mathrm{dim} S \geq \mathrm{dim} X$. We show that every continuous map $S\to X$ is homotopic to a surjective strongly dominating holomorphic map $S\to X$. We also…

We show that if $f\colon X \to T$ is a surjective morphism between smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with geometrically integral and non-uniruled generic fiber, then $K_{X/T}$ is…

In this paper we consider strata of flat metrics coming from quadratic differentials (semi-translation structures) on surfaces of finite type. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of simple closed curves to be…

The Grothendieck--Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group scheme $G$ over a regular local ring $R$ is trivial. The mixed characteristic case of the conjecture is widely open. We consider the…

Let X,Y be projective schemes over a discrete valuation ring R, where Y is generically smooth and g:X \to Y a surjective R-morphism such that g_*\mathcal{O}_X = \mathcal{O}_Y. We show that if the family X \to Spec(R) is isotrivial, then the…

Very flat and contradjusted modules naturally arise in algebraic geometry in the study of contraherent cosheaves over schemes. Here, we investigate the structure and approximation properties of these modules over commutative noetherian…

We interpret the regularity of a finite and flat extension of a discrete valuation ring in terms of the trace map of the extension.

We establish a couple of dynamical properties of surjective rational maps $f: X \dashrightarrow X$ for smooth projective surfaces $X$. We also give a numerical characterization of regular $f$ in the case when $X$ is a del Pezzo surface.…
