We formulate a detailed conjectural Eichler-Shimura type formula for the cohomology of local systems on a Picard modular surface associated to the group of unitary similitudes $\mathrm{GU}(2,1,\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3}))$. The formula is based…

We describe and analyze a numerical algorithm for computing the homology (Betti numbers and torsion coefficients) of real projective varieties. Here numerical means that the algorithm is numerically stable (in a sense to be made precise).…

Let T be the complex projective torus, and X the surface CP^1 X T. Let X_Gal be its Galois cover with respect to a generic projection to CP^2. In this paper we compute the fundamental group of X_Gal, using the degeneration and regeneration…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over the field of complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$ of genus $g(C)>0$. Let $E$ be a locally free sheaf on $C$ of rank $r$ and degree $e$. Let $\mathcal{Q}:={\rm Quot}_{C/\mathbb{C}}(E,k,d)$ denote the Quot…

We classify all smooth projective horospherical varieties of Picard group $\mathbb{Z}^2$ and we give a first description of their geometry via the Log Minimal Model Program.

We prove that any geometrically connected curve $X$ over a field $k$ is an algebraic $K(\pi,1)$, as soon as its geometric irreducible components have nonzero genus. This means that the cohomology of any locally constant constructible…

The toric Hilbert scheme parametrizes all algebras isomorphic to a given semigroup algebra as a multigraded vectorspace. All components of the scheme are toric varieties, and among them, there is a fairly well understood coherent component.…

Let $X \hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^r$ be a smooth projective variety defined by homogeneous polynomials of degree $\leq d$. We give explicit upper bounds on the order of the torsion subgroup $(\mathrm{NS} \, X)_{\mathrm{tor}}$ of the…

Based on high precision computation of periods and lattice reduction techniques, we compute the Picard group of smooth surfaces. We also study the lattice reduction technique that is employed in order to quantify the possibility of…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over the complex numbers. We compute the Brauer group of the moduli stack of Bruhat-Tits group scheme $\mathcal{G}$-torsors on $X$. When $g(X) \geq 3$ we compute the Brauer group of the regularly stable…

In this paper we show that the l^n-torsion part of the cohomological Brauer groups of certain schemes associated to symmetric powers of a projective smooth curve over a separably closed field k are isomorphic, when `l is invertible in k.…

We begin by introducing schemes of binoids, invertible $\mathcal{O}_M$-sets and cohomology of sheaves of abelian groups defined on schemes of binoids. We define the so-called punctured combinatorial \v{C}ech-Picard complex, whose first…

We compute explicitly the group of connected components $\pi_0G(\mathbb{R})$ of the real Lie group $G(\mathbb{R})$ for an arbitrary (not necessarily linear) connected algebraic group $G$ defined over the field $\mathbb{R}$ of real numbers.…

For a smooth algebraic curve X over a field, applying H_1 to the Abel map X -> Pic (X/\partial X) to the Picard scheme of X modulo its boundary realizes the Poincar\'e duality isomorphism H_1(X, Z/ n) -> H^1(X/ \partial X, Z/n(1)) =…

We address the problem of computing in the group of $\ell^k$-torsion rational points of the jacobian variety of algebraic curves over finite fields, with a view toward computing modular representations.

We introduce a space of stable meromorphic differentials with poles of prescribed orders and define its tautological cohomology ring. This space, just as the space of holomorphic differentials, is stratified according to the set of…

Motivated by the work of Esnault-Hai, one has the notion of de Rham $K(\pi,1)$ schemes, defined as follows. Given a smooth proper geometrically connected scheme $X$ over a field $k$ of characteristic 0 and a base point $x \in X (k)$, one…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $S$ be a smooth projective variety over $k$ and let $p_S:X\rightarrow S$ be a family of smooth projective curves over $S$. Let $E$ be a vector bundle over $X$. For $s\in…

We develop a general theory which enables the computation of the Picard group of a symmetric monoidal triangulated category, equipped with a weight structure, in terms of the Picard group of the associated heart. As an application, we…

We study how the number $c(X)$ of components of a graph $X$ can be expressed through the number and properties of the components of a quotient graph $X/\sim.$ We partially rely on classic qualifications of graph homomorphisms such as…
