We continue our investigation of the geometry of the Albanese morphism on 0-cycles. We provide an example of a smooth projective variety with representable CH_0-group but with no universal 0-cycle, which answers a question asked by…

Grothendieck conjectured in the sixties that the even Kunneth projector (with respect to a Weil cohomology theory) is algebraic and that the homological equivalence relation on algebraic cycles coincides with the numerical equivalence…

We define the Bloch spectrum of a quantum graph to be the collection of the spectra of a family of Schrodinger operators parametrized by the cohomology of the quantum graph. We show that the Bloch spectrum determines the Albanese torus, the…

We compute the algebraic $K$-theory of some classes of surfaces defined over finite fields. We achieve this by first calculating the motivic cohomology groups and then studying the motivic Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence. In an…

Let S be a minimal complex surface of general type and of maximal Albanese dimension; by the Severi inequality one has $K^2_S\geq 4\chi(\mathcal O_S)$. We prove that the equality $K^2_S=4\chi(\mathcal O_S)$ holds if and only if $q(S):=…

The Bloch-Beilinson-Murre conjectures predict the existence of a descending filtration on Chow groups of smooth projective varieties which is functorial with respect to the action of correspondences and whose graded parts depend solely on…

In this paper, we show some applications to algebraic cycles by using higher Abel-Jacobi maps which were defined in [the author: Motives and algebraic de Rham cohomology]. In particular, we prove that the Beilinson conjecture on algebraic…

We prove the Berenstein-Zelevinsky conjecture that the quantized coordinate rings of the double Bruhat cells of all finite dimensional simple algebraic groups admit quantum cluster algebra structures with initial seeds as specified by [4].…

This note is about an old conjecture of Voisin, which concerns zero--cycles on the self-product of surfaces of geometric genus one. We prove this conjecture for surfaces with $p_g=1$ and $q=2$.

Let $(X ,x_0)$ be a pointed smooth proper variety defined over an algebraically closed field. The Albanese morphism for $(X ,x_0)$ produces a homomorphism from the abelianization of the $F$-divided fundamental group scheme of $X$ to the…

Quotients $Y=X/conj$ of complex surfaces by anti-holomorphic involutions $conj\: X\to X$ tend to be completely decomposable when they are simply connected, i.e., split into connected sums, $n CP^2\#m\barCP2$, if $w_2(Y)\ne0$, or into…

Two cycles on a projective variety over an algebraically closed field are shown to be rationally equivalent if and only if their difference equals a difference of complete intersections of a certain kind. Some of Bloch's conjectures for…

Let $A$ be an abelian topological $G$-module. We give an interpretion for the second cohomology, $H^{2}(G,A)$, of $G$ with coefficients in $A$. As a result we show that if $P$ is a projective topological group, then $H^{2}(P,A)=0$ for every…

Let $X$ be a minimal surface of general type over an algebraically closed field $\mathbf{k}$ of $\mathrm{char}.(\mathbf{k})=p\ge 0$. If the Albanese morphism $a_X:X\to \mathrm{Alb}_X$ is generically finite onto its image, we formulate a…

The paper contains a general construction which produces new examples of non simply-connected smooth projective surfaces. We analyze the resulting surfaces and their fundamental groups. Many of these fundamental groups are expected to be…

The Surface Group Conjectures are statements about recognising surface groups among one-relator groups, using either the structure of their finite-index subgroups, or all subgroups. We resolve these conjectures in the two generator case.…

I prove the Bloch conjecture:all secondary characteristic classes of flat bundles over complex projective varietes are torsion, except the first.

Consider the cycle class map cl_{r,m} : CH^r(U,m;\Q) \to \Gamma H^{2r-m}(U,\Q(r)), where CH^r(U,m;\Q) is Bloch's higher Chow group (tensored with \Q) of a smooth complex quasi-projective variety U, and H^{2r-m}(U,\Q(r)) is singular…

The complex conjecture of Stefan Banach states that if V is a Banach space over the complex numbers where for some n, 1<n<dim(V), all of its n-dimensional subspaces are isometric, then V is a Hilbert space. Mikhail Gromov proved it for n…

We prove the Burghelea Conjecture for groups satisfying some additional cohomological property.
