We prove that the separating curve graph of a connected, compact, orientable surface with genus at least 3 and a single boundary component is not relatively hyperbolic. This completes the classification of when the separating curve graph is…

Given a Brauer class on a K3 surface defined over a number field, we prove that there exists infinitely many reductions where the Brauer class vanishes, under certain technical hypotheses, answering a question of…

A curve over a field k is pointless if it has no k-rational points. We show that there exist pointless genus-3 hyperelliptic curves over a finite field F_q if and only if q < 26, that there exist pointless smooth plane quartics over F_q if…

It is known that for a curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ of genus $g \leq 4$, there exists a point on the curve defined over a solvable extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We relate points on curves of genus $g \geq 5$ over solvable extensions to the…

We describe symmetries of the braid monodromy decomposition for a class of plane curves defined over reals including the real curves with no real points and proving new divisibility relations for Alexander invariants of such curves.

In this paper we introduce a new class of non-amenable groups denoted by ${\bf NC}_1 \cap {\bf Quot}(\mathcal C_{rss})$ which give rise to $\textit{prime}$ von Neumann algebras. This means that for every $\Gamma \in {\bf NC}_1 \cap {\bf…

We prove for a large class of fields $F$ that every proper finite extension of $F_{pyth}$, the pythagorean closure of $F$, is not a pythagorean field. This class of fields contains number fields and fields $F$ that are finitely generated of…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and $X$ a smooth proper $K$-variety with good reduction. Under a mild assumption on the behaviour of Hodge numbers under reduction modulo $p$, we prove that the existence of a non-zero global…

Over a normal base scheme, we prove the generalized Theorem of the Cube for 1-motives and that a torsion class of the group H^2_\'et(M,G_m)$ of a 1-motive M, whose pull-back via the unit section is zero, comes from an Azumaya algebra. In…

Let T be a torus (not assumed to be split) over a field F, and denote by $_n{H^{2}_{et}(X,Gm)}$ the subgroup of elements of exponent dividing n in the cohomological Brauer group of a scheme X over the field F. We provide conditions on X and…

We give an upper bound for the degree of rational curves in a family that covers a given birational ruled surface in projective space. The upper bound is stated in terms of the degree, sectional genus and arithmetic genus of the surface. We…

It is proved that any supersimple field has trivial Brauer group, and more generally that any supersimple division ring is commutative. As prerequisites we prove several results about generic types in groups and fields whose theory is…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus at least $3$. We compute the Brauer groups of the moduli spaces of stable parabolic $\text{SL}(r,\mathbb{C})$-connections and stable strongly parabolic $\text{SL}(r,\mathbb{C})$-Higgs bundles…

We classify, up to conjugacy, the finite (constant) subgroups G of adjoint absolutely simple algebraic groups of type $A_1$ over an arbitrary field $k$ of characteristic not 2.

We define a Brauer group for differential graded algebras over differential graded graded-commutative or commutative base rings. Based on previous work we give an explicit classification of dg-fields, and compute the so-defined Brauer group…

We consider the issue of when the L-polynomial of one curve over $\F_q$ divides the L-polynomial of another curve. We prove a theorem which shows that divisibility follows from a hypothesis that two curves have the same number of points…

It has been conjectured that every algebraic curve may be defined either over its field of moduli or over an extension of degree two of it. In this paper we provide a negative answer to it by giving examples of hyperelliptic curves which…

We give a new example of a curve C algebraically, but not rationally, uniformized by radicals. This means that C has no map onto the projective line P^1 with solvable Galois group, while there exists a curve C' that maps onto C and has a…

We prove that certain fields have the property that their absolute Galois groups are free as profinite groups: the function field of a real curve with no real points; the maximal abelian extension of a 2-variable Laurent series field over a…

We determine conditions that guarantee that a hyperelliptic or plane curve over a field of characteristic not equal to 2 can be defined over its field of moduli. We also give new examples of curves not definable over their fields of moduli.
