We prove that stable rationality specializes in regular families whose fibers are integral and have at most ordinary double points as singularities. Our proof is based on motivic specialization techniques and the criterion of Larsen and…

It is believed that any p-adic Galois representation which is potentially semistable arises from a modular form. The main theorem of Wiles establishes this modularity when the representation in question satisfies various technical…

We introduce a simplified version of the Grothendieck group of algebraic varieties and use it to show that birational types specialize in families with mild singularities of the central fiber.

Inspired by the work of Ellenberg, Elsholtz, Hall, and Kowalski, we investigate how the property of the generic fiber of a one-parameter family of abelian varieties being geometrically simple extends to other fibers. In \cite{EEHK09}, the…

The paper has three main applications. The first one is this Hilbert-Grunwald statement. If $f:X\rightarrow \Pp^1$ is a degree $n$ $\Qq$-cover with monodromy group $S_n$ over $\bar\Qq$, and finitely many suitably big primes $p$ are given…

A general theorem on fibers of singular sets is presented.

Given a fibration over the circle, we relate the eigenspace decomposition of the algebraic monodromy, the homological finiteness properties of the fiber, and the formality properties of the total space. In the process, we prove a more…

We study basic geometric properties of some group analogue of affine Springer fibers and compare with the classical Lie algebra affine Springer fibers. The main purpose is to formulate a conjecture that relates the number of irreducible…

This book contains notes of a seminar on Ofer Gabber's work on the etale cohomology and uniformization of quasi-excellent schemes. His main results include (cf. introduction) constructibility theorems (for abelian or non-abelian…

This paper investigates Galois branched covers of the open $p$-adic disc and their reductions to characteristic $p$. Using the field of norms functor of Fontaine and Wintenberger, we show that the special fiber of a Galois cover is…

We first elaborate on the theory of relative internality in stable theories, focusing on the notion of uniform relative internality (called collapse of the groupoid in an earlier work of the second author), and relating it to orthogonality,…

Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over a field. We show that, under mild assumptions, in a family of primitive generically free $G$-varieties over a base variety $B$ the essential dimension of the geometric fibers may drop on a countable…

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a complete local ring, and $G={\rm gr}_{\mathfrak{m}}(R)$ be its associated graded ring. We introduce a homogenization technique which allows to relate $G$ to the special fiber and $R$ to the generic fiber of a…

A rigidity theory is developed for bar-joint frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ whose vertices are constrained to lie on concentric $d$-spheres with independently variable radii. In particular, combinatorial characterisations are established…

We show that Hilbert schemes of planar curve singularities and their parabolic variants can be interpreted as certain generalized affine Springer fibers for $GL_n$, as defined by Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson. Using a generalization of affine…

Andr\'e used Hodge-theoretic methods to show that in a smooth proper family X to B of varieties over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0, there exists a closed fiber having the same Picard number as the geometric generic…

Rationality specializes in families of surfaces, even with mild singularities. In this paper, we study the analogous question for the degree of irrationality. We prove a specialization result when the degree of irrationality on the generic…

We study the theory specialisations in algebraic geometry from a model theoretic viewpoint. In particular we investigate universality and maximality of specialisations in algebraic geometry.

We give an explicit construction of global Galois gerbes constructed more abstractly by Kaletha to define global rigid inner forms. This notion is crucial to formulate Arthur's multiplicity formula for inner forms of quasi-split reductive…
