This paper studies irregularity-type invariants of special C-pairs, or "geometric orbifolds" in the sense of Campana. Under mild assumptions on the singularities, we show that the augmented irregularity of a C-pair (X,D) is bounded by its…
Long ago, Fontaine formulated conjectures (now theorems) relating \'etale and de Rham cohomologies of algebraic varieties over $p$-adic fields. In an earlier work we have shown that pro-\'etale and de Rham cohomologies of analytic varieties…
In our previous work we conjectured - inspired by an algebro-geometric result of Fujita - that the height of an arithmetic Fano variety X of relative dimension $n$ is maximal when X is the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n_{\mathbb{Z}}$ over…
Rao and Zhao classified the irreducible integrable modules with finite dimensional weight spaces for the untwisted affine superalgebras which are not $\hat{A}(m,n)$ ($m\ne n$) or $\hat{C}(m)$. Here we treat the latter affine superalgebras…
Let $X$ be a compact metric space which is locally absolutely retract and let $\phi: C(X)\to C(Y, M_n)$ be a unital homomorphism, where $Y$ is a compact metric space with ${\rm dim}Y\le 2.$ It is proved that there exists a sequence of $n$…
The purpose of this note is twofold. First, we give a quick proof of Ballico-Chiantini's theorem stating that a Fano or Calabi-Yau variety of dimension at least 4 in codimension two is a complete intersection. Second, we improve Barth-Van…
We prove a collection of results involving Colmez's periods and the Colmez Conjecture. Using Colmez's theory of periods of CM abelian varieties, we propose a definition for the height of a partial CM-type and prove that the Colmez…
Kawamata has shown that the quasi-Albanese map of a quasi-projective variety with log-irregularity equal to the dimension and log-Kodaira dimension 0 is birational. In this note we show that under these hypotheses the quasi-Albanese map is…
In this paper, we develop canonical bundle formulas for fibrations of relative dimension one in characteristic $p>0$. For such a fibration from a log pair $f\colon (X, \Delta) \to S$, if $f$ is separable, we can obtain a formula similar to…
We study the cluster algebras arising from cluster tubes with rank bigger than $1$. Cluster tubes are $2-$Calabi-Yau triangulated categories which contain no cluster tilting objects, but maximal rigid objects. Fix a certain maximal rigid…
For any two integers $k,n$, $2\leq k\leq n$, let $f:(\mathbb{C}^*)^n\rightarrow\mathbb{C}^k$ be a generic polynomial map with given Newton polytopes. It is known that points, whose fiber under $f$ has codimension one, form a finite set…
Let $Y$ be a smooth projective variety of dimension $n \geq 2$ endowed with a finite morphism $\phi:Y \to \mathbb P^n$ of degree $3$, and suppose that $Y$, polarized by some ample line bundle, is a scroll over a smooth variety $X$ of…
We give a proof of Iitaka's Conjecture C_{2,1} using only elementary methods from algebraic geometry. The main point is that, given a non-isotrivial and relatively minimal family f : X \to B, where X is a surface and B is a curve, both…
We give a lower bound for the essential dimension of isogenies of complex abelian varieties. The bound is sharp in many cases. In particular, the multiplication-by-$m$ map is incompressible for every $m\geq 2$, confirming a conjecture of…
For every $n \geq 1$, we present examples of algebras $A$ having dominant dimension $n$, such that the algebra $B=End_A(I_0 \oplus \Omega^{-n}(A))$ has dominant dimension different from $n$, where $I_0$ is the injective hull of $A$. This…
The main result of this paper is the following: if F is any field and R is any F-subalgebra of the algebra of nxn matrices over F with Lie nilpotence index m, then the F-dimension of R is less or equal than M(m+1,n), where M(m+1,n) is the…
The Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for smooth complex varieties states that algebraic and topological K-theory with finite coefficients become isomorphic in high degrees. We define the "Lichtenbaum-Quillen dimension" of a variety in terms…
Let X be a compact Hausdorf space, let A be a commutative unital Banach algebra, and let C(X,A) denote the algebra of continuous A-valued functions on $X$ equipped with the uniform norm ||f||=sup{||f(x)||:x\in X} for all f in C(X,A).…
Let $(X,B)$ be a log Calabi-Yau pair of dimension $n$, index one, and birational complexity $c$. We show that $(X,B)$ has a crepant birational model that admits a tower of Mori fiber spaces of which at least $n-c$ are conic fibrations.…
In 2001 Sir M. F. Atiyah formulated a conjecture C1 and later with P. Sutcliffe two stronger conjectures C2 and C3. These conjectures, inspired by physics (spin-statistics theorem of quantum mechanics), are geometrically defined for any…
