A long-standing open question is which graph class is the most general one permitting constant-time constant-factor approximations for dominating sets. The approximation ratio has been bounded by increasingly general parameters such as…

We prove that Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture holds for p-blocks of finite groups with metacyclic defect groups. If the defect group is nonabelian and contains a cyclic maximal subgroup, we obtain the distribution into p-conjugate and…

We give a constructive proof of the Hodge conjecture for complex $K3$ surfaces that does not rely on Torelli-type results. Starting with an arbitrary rational $(1,1)$-class $\alpha\in H^{1,1}(X,\mathbb{Q})$, we algorithmically build a…

The Hodge Conjecture, posits a profound connection between the topology and algebraic geometry of complex algebraic varieties. It asserts that Hodge cycles, specific elements in the cohomology of a K\"ahler variety with rational properties,…

We give an analog of the Myhill-Nerode methods from formal language theory for hypergraphs and use it to derive the following results for two NP-hard hypergraph problems: * We provide an algorithm for testing whether a hypergraph has…

We introduce $\ell$-Galois special subvarieties as an $\ell$-adic analog of the Hodge-theoretic notion of a special subvariety. The Mumford-Tate conjecture predicts that both notions are equivalent. We study some properties of these…

Recently, it has been shown by Balasubramanian et al. and Myers et al. that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula evaluated on certain closed surfaces in the bulk of a holographic spacetime has an interpretation as the differential entropy…

We study the period map from infinitesimal deformations of a scheme $X$ over a perfect field $k$ to those of the associated $k$-linear $\infty$-category $\mathrm{QC}(X)$. For quasicompact, smooth, and separated $X$, we identify the…

Classical variational Hodge structure theory characterizes the algebraicity of Hodge classes by studying the transversality of period mappings under geometric deformations. However, when algebraic varieties lack appropriate deformation…

We give a simple argument to prove Nagai's conjecture for type II degenerations of compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds and cohomology classes of middle degree. Under an additional assumption, the techniques yield the conjecture in arbitrary…

We address the problem of classification of hyper-K\"ahler fourfolds with $b_2=23$. In particular we prove some special cases of the Conjecture of O'Grady about hyper-K\"ahler $4$-folds numerically equivalent to the Hilbert scheme of two…

We treat the boundary problem for complex varieties with isolated singularities, of complex dimension greater than or equal to 3, non necessarily compact, which are contained in strongly convex, open subsets of a complex Hilbert space H. We…

We prove a common slot lemma for symbols in top cohomology classes over semiglobal fields. Furthermore, we prove that period and index agree for general top cohomology classes over such fields. We discuss applications to quadratic forms and…

Let $k,r \geq 2$ be two integers. We consider the problem of partitioning the hyperedge set of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ into the minimum number $\chi_k'(H)$ of edge-disjoint subhypergraphs in which every vertex has either degree $0$ or…

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…

We study a generalization of a conjecture made by Beauville on the Chow ring of hyper-K\"ahler algebraic varieties. Namely we prove in a number of cases that polynomial cohomological relations involving only CH^1(X) and the Chern classes of…

Let $X$ be an elliptic curve over an algebraically closed field. We prove that some exact sub-categories of the category of vector bundles over $X$, defined using Harder-Narasimhan filtrations, have the same K-groups as the whole category.

We prove that a hyper-K\"ahler fourfold satisfying a mild topological assumption is of K3$^{[2]}$ deformation type. This proves in particular a conjecture of O'Grady stating that hyper-K\"ahler fourfolds of K3$^{[2]}$ numerical type are of…

This thesis studies some examples of families of K3 surfaces with Picard lattices of maximal rank. These families occur as invariants of finite automorphism groups. The Picard-Fuchs differential equations describing the variation of Hodge…

Answering an open question from 2007, we construct infinite $k$-crossing-critical families of graphs that contain vertices of any prescribed odd degree, for any sufficiently large~$k$. To answer this question, we introduce several…
