Let T be a complex torus, and X the surface CP^1 x T. If T is embedded in CP^{n-1} then X may be embedded in CP^{2n-1}. Let X_Gal be its Galois cover with respect to a generic projection to CP^2. In this paper we compute the fundamental…

We study toric varieties over a field k that split in a Galois extension K/k using Galois cohomology with coefficients in the toric automorphism group. Part of this Galois cohomology fits into an exact sequence induced by the presentation…

We construct a mixed Hodge structure on the topological K-theory of smooth Poisson varieties, depending weakly on a choice of compactification. We establish a package of tools for calculations with these structures, such as functoriality…

This article focuses on smooth, projective, and geometrically integral varieties $X$ defined over a number field $k$ with torsion-free geometric Picard groups. We establish an isomorphism between the Brauer groups of $X$ and its symmetric…

We introduce a new algorithm for computing the periods of a smooth complex projective hypersurface. The algorithm intertwine with a new method for computing an explicit basis of the singular homology of the hypersurface. It is based on…

Algebra and representation theory in modular tensor categories can be combined with tools from topological field theory to obtain a deeper understanding of rational conformal field theories in two dimensions: It allows us to establish the…

We compute the integral homology and cohomology groups of configuration spaces of two distinct points on a given real projective space. The explicit answer is related to the (known multiplicative structure in the) integral cohomology---with…

We study the Picard groups of moduli spaces of smooth complex projective curves that have a group of automorphisms with a prescribed topological action. One of our main tools is the theory of symmetric mapping class groups. In the first…

We present a method to compute the geometric Picard rank of a $K3$ surface over $\bbQ$. Contrary to a widely held belief, we show it is possible to verify Picard rank $1$ using reduction only at a single prime. Our method is based on…

In the present notes we generalize the classical work of Demazure [Invariants sym\'etriques entiers des groupes de Weyl et torsion] to arbitrary oriented cohomology theories and formal group laws. Let G be a split semisemiple linear…

We find an algorithm to compute the cohomology groups of spherical vector bundles on complex projective K3 surfaces, in terms of their Mukai vectors. In many good cases, we give significant simplifications of the algorithm. As an…

We study linear actions of algebraic groups on smooth projective varieties X. A guiding goal for us is to understand the cohomology of "quotients" under such actions, by generalizing (from reductive to non-reductive group actions) existing…

We compute Hochschild cohomology of projective hypersurfaces starting from the Gerstenhaber-Schack complex of the (restricted) structure sheaf. We are particularly interested in the second cohomology group and its relation with…

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve embedded in its Jacobian $J$ via an Abel-Jacobi map. We compute the scheme structure of the Hilbert scheme component of $\textrm{Hilb}_J$ containing the Abel-Jacobi curve as a point. We relate the result to…

We obtain certain algebraic invariants relevant to study codes on subgroups of weighted projective tori inside an $n$-dimensional weighted projective space. As application, we compute all the main parameters of generalized toric codes on…

For a formal scheme $\mathfrak{X}$ of finite type over a complete rank one valuation ring, we construct a specialization morphism \[ \pi^{\rm dJ}_1(\mathfrak{X}_\eta) \to \pi^{\rm proet}_1(\mathfrak{X}_k) \] from the de Jong fundamental…

Geometric structures modeled on rational homogeneous manifolds are studied to characterize rational homogeneous manifolds and to prove their deformation rigidity. To generalize these characterizations and deformation rigidity results to…

We give a simple axiomatic description of the degree 0 part of the polylogarithm on abelian schemes and show that its realisation in analytic Deligne cohomology can be described in terms of the Bismut-K\"ohler higher analytic torsion form…

For a 0-dimensional scheme $\mathbb{X}$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a perfect field $K$, we first embed the homogeneous coordinate ring $R$ into its truncated integral closure $\widetilde{R}$. Then we use the corresponding map from the module of…
