We give a proof that the Riemann hypothesis for hypersurfaces over finite fields implies the result for all smooth proper varieties, by a deformation argument which does not use the theory of Lefschetz pencils or the l-adic Fourier…
The statement of the Riemann hypothesis makes sense for all global fields, not just the rational numbers. For function fields, it has a natural restatement in terms of the associated curve. Weil's work on the Riemann hypothesis for curves…
We generalize the decomposition theorem for perverse sheaves to Artin stacks with affine stabilizers over finite fields.
Deligne's conjecture that $\ell$-adic sheaves on normal schemes over a finite field admit $\ell'$-companions was proved by L. Lafforgue in the case of curves and by Drinfeld in the case of smooth schemes. In this paper, we extend Drinfeld's…
As an application of P. Delgine's theorem (Esnault and Kerz in Acta Math. Vietnam. 37:531-562, 2012) on a finiteness of $l$-adic sheaves on a variety over a finite field, we show the finiteness of \'etale coverings of such a variety with…
We establish an effective version of Schmidt's subspace theorem on a smooth projective variety $\mathcal{X}$ over function fields of characteristic zero for hypersurfaces located in m-subgeneral position with respect to $\mathcal{X}$. Our…
In this article, following an insight of Kontsevich, we extend the famous Weil conjecture (as well as the strong form of the Tate conjecture) from the realm of algebraic geometry to the broad noncommutative setting of dg categories. As a…
We give a motivated introduction to the theory of perverse sheaves, culminating in the Decomposition Theorem of Beilinson, Bernstein, Deligne and Gabber. A goal of this survey is to show how the theory develops naturally from classical…
Revised: just some typos, reorganized a bit the article. It will be published in the VIASM Annual meeting, Hanoi. We give a detailed account of Deligne's letter to Drinfeld dated June 18, 2011, in which he shows that there are finitely many…
We show the existence of a hypersurface that contains a given closed subscheme of a projective space over a finite field and intersects a smooth quasi-projective scheme smoothly, under some condition on the dimension. This generalizes a…
We deduce an effective version of Schmidt's subspace theorem on a smooth projective variety X over function fields of characteristic zero for hypersurfaces located in N-subgeneral position with respect to X.
We use the "closed point sieve" to prove a variant of a Bertini theorem over finite fields. Specifically, given a smooth quasi-projective subscheme X of P^n of dimension m over F_q, and a closed subscheme Z in P^n such that Z intersect X is…
We give a new proof of the Hodge conjecture for abelian fourfolds of Weil type with discriminant 1 and all of their powers. The Hodge conjecture for these abelian fourfolds was proven by Markman using hyperholomorphic sheaves on…
Deligne conjectured that a single l-adic lisse sheaf on a normal variety over a finite field can be embedded into a compatible system of l'-adic lisse sheaves with various l'. Drinfeld used Lafforgue's result as an input and proved this…
We revisit some of the basic results of generic vanishing theory, as pioneered by Green and Lazarsfeld, in the context of constructible sheaves. Using the language of perverse sheaves, we give new proofs of some of the basic results of this…
The goal of this paper is to explain how basic properties of perverse sheaves sometimes translate via Riemann-Hilbert correspondences (in both characteristic $0$ and characteristic $p$) to highly non-trivial properties of singularities,…
We prove a general inequality for estimating the number of points of arbitrary complete intersections over a finite field. This extends a result of Deligne for nonsingular complete intersections. For normal complete intersections, this…
We show that using an idea from a paper by Van de Ven one may obtain a simple proof of Zak's classification of smooth projective surfaces with zero vanishing cycles. This method of proof allows one to extend Zak's theorem to the case of…
Consider the functor describing deformations of a representation of the fundamental group of a variety X. This paper is chiefly concerned with establishing an analogue in finite characteristic of a result proved by Goldman and Millson for…
We give a short and self-contained proof of the Decomposition Theorem for the non-small resolution of a Special Schubert variety. We also provide an explicit description of the perverse cohomology sheaves. As a by-product of our approach,…
