In this paper, we define the $K$-theoretic Hall algebra for $0$-dimensional coherent sheaves on a smooth projective surface, prove that the algebra is associative and construct a homomorphism to a redefined shuffle algebra analogous to…

In the present paper, we focus on a weighted version of the Bounded Negativity Conjecture which predicts that for every smooth projective surface in characteristic zero the self-intersection numbers of reduced and irreducible curves are…

In this paper, a $\mathbb{Q}$HD singularity is a weighted homogeneous normal surface singularity admitting a rational homology disk ($\mathbb{Q}$HD) smoothing. These singularities are rational but often not log canonical. We classify all…

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Define a real-valued weight function on the $1$-dimensional vector spaces of $V$ such that the sum of all weights is zero. Let the weight of a subspace $S$ be…

This partly expository paper investigates versions of the Tate conjecture on the cycle map for varieties defined over finite fields with values in 'etale cohomology with Z_\ell-coefficients. The bulk of the paper is an exposition of a 1998…

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 consider smooth representations of the unit group $G = \mathcal{A}^{\times}$ of a finite-dimensional split basic algebra $\mathcal{A}$ over a non-Archimedean local field. In particular, we prove a version of Gutkin's conjecture, namely,…

A concrete lower-bound for the Hochschild cohomological dimension of a commutative $k$-algebra, in terms of three other homological invariants is obtained. This result is then used to show that most $k$-algebras fail to be quasi-free, even…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>2$. We prove that any rank $3$ nilpotent semistable Higgs bundle $(E,\theta)$ on $X$ is a strongly semistable Higgs bundle. This…

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 confirm a conjecture by Lekili and Polishchuk that the geometric invariants which they construct for homologically smooth graded (not necessarily proper) gentle algebras form a complete derived invariant. Hence, we obtain a complete…

We prove that if the classical Baum-Connes conjecture in complex K-theory is true (for a given discrete group G), then the conjecture is also true in the real case (for the same group G). The essential ingredients of the proof are the…

In 1971, McMullen and Walkup posed the following conjecture, which is called the generalized lower bound conjecture: If $P$ is a simplicial $d$-polytope then its $h$-vector $(h_0,h_1,...,h_d)$ satisfies $h_0 \leq h_1 \leq ... \leq…

We prove the Demailly--Peternell--Schneider conjecture in positive characteristic: if $X$ is a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ with $-K_X$ is nef, then the Albanese morphism $a: X \to A$…

We show that, if a simple $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ is topologically finite-dimensional in a suitable sense, then not only $K_{0}(A)$ has certain good properties, but $A$ is even accessible to Elliott's classification program. More precisely, we…

Let X be a smooth quasiprojective subscheme of P^n of dimension m >= 0 over F_q. Then there exist homogeneous polynomials f over F_q for which the intersection of X and the hypersurface f=0 is smooth. In fact, the set of such f has a…

In a recent paper it was suggested that some multi-black hole solutions in five or more dimensions have horizons that are not smooth. These black hole configurations are solutions to $d$-dimensional Einstein gravity (with no dilaton) and…

Let $r(k,A,n)$ denote the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of $k$ elements of a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$. In 2002, Dombi conjectured that if $A$ is co-infinite, then the sequence $(r(k,A,n))_{n \geq 0}$ cannot be strictly…

We prove that for every natural number n there exists a natural number N(n) such that every multilinear skew-symmetric polynomial on N(n) or more variables which vanishes in the free associative algebra vanishes as well in any n-generated…

For a compact set $A$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ the Hausdorff distance from $A$ to $\text{conv}(A)$ is defined by \begin{equation*} d(A):=\sup_{a\in\text{conv}(A)}\inf_{x\in A}|x-a|, \end{equation*} where for $x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)\in\mathbb{R}^n$ we…
