Let H be a Hopf algebra which is a finite module over a central sub-Hopf algebra R. The ramification behaviour of the maximal ideals of Z(H) with respect to the subalgebra R is studied. In the case when H is U(g), the enveloping algebra of…

In this paper we prove global class field theory using a purely geometric result. We first write in detail Deligne's proof to the unramified case of class field theory, including defining the required objects for the proof. Then we…

Let L/K be a finite Galois extension of complete local fields with finite residue fields and let G=Gal(L/K). Let G_1 and G_2 be the first and second ramification groups. Thus L/K is tamely ramified when G_1 is trivial and we say that L/K is…

We prove a characterization of profinite algebras, i.e., topological algebras that are isomorphic to a projective limit of finite discrete algebras. In general profiniteness concerns both the topological and algebraic characteristics of a…

In this paper we will give a computation of the \'{e}tale fundamental group of an integral arithmetic scheme. For such a scheme, we will prove that the \'{e}tale fundamental group is naturally isomorphic to the Galois group of the maximal…

Recently H.-L. Chang and J. Li generalized the theory of virtual fundamental class to the setting of semi-perfect obstruction theory. A semi-perfect obstruction theory requires only the local existence of a perfect obstruction theory with…

We investigate homological properties of perfect algebras of prime characteristic. The principle is as follows: perfect algebras resolve the singularities. For example, we show any module over the ring of absolute integral closure has…

This article is the second installment in a series on the Berkovich ramification locus for nonconstant rational functions f: P^1 -> P^1. Here we show the ramification locus of f is contained in a strong tubular neighborhood of finite radius…

We construct and study a graded version of absolute perfectoidization for $G$-graded adic rings. As a main geometric application, we show that the absolute perfectoidization of the structure sheaf of a projective-type formal scheme admits…

The second vanishing theorem has a long history in the theory of local cohomology modules, which connects the vanishing of a complete regular local ring with a topological property of the punctured spectrum of the ring under some…

Let E/F be a CM field split above a finite place v of F, let l be a rational prime number which is prime to v, and let S be the set of places of E dividing lv. If E_S denotes a maximal algebraic extension of E unramified outside S, and if u…

Let $(R,{\frak{m}}_R)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring. Assuming that ${\frak{m}}_R=$$I\oplus J$ is a direct sum decomposition, where $I$ and $J$ are non-zero ideals of $R$, we describe the structure of the Tor algebra of $R$ in…

We establish the flat cohomology version of the Gabber-Thomason purity for \'{e}tale cohomology: for a complete intersection Noetherian local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ and a commutative, finite, flat $R$-group $G$, the flat cohomology…

In this article we use techniques developed by Hrushovski-Loeser to study certain metric properties of the Berkovich analytification of a finite morphism of smooth connected projective curves. In recent work, M. Temkin proved a radiality…

This paper gives an elementary proof of an improved version of the algebraic Local B\'ezout Theorem (given by the authors in JSC 45 (2010) 975--985). Here we remove some ad hoc hypotheses and obtain an optimal algebraic version of the…

In this article we investigate a pair of surjective local ring maps $S_1\leftarrow R\to S_2$ and their relation to the canonical projection $R\to S_1\otimes_R S_2$, where $S_1,S_2$ are Tor-independent over $R$. Our main result asserts a…

We prove that every mapping torus of any free group endomorphism is residually finite. We show how to use a not yet published result of E. Hrushovski to extend our result to arbitrary linear groups. The proof uses algebraic self-maps of…

We study homologically maximizing timelike geodesics in conformally flat tori. A causal geodesic $\gamma$ in such a torus is said to be homologically maximizing if one (hence every) lift of $\gamma$ to the universal cover is arclength…

We realize the fundamental representations of quantum algebras via the supersymmetric Higgs mechanism in gauge theories with 8 supercharges on an $\Omega$-background. We test our proposal for quantum affine algebras, by probing the Higgs…

Given a maximal order $D$ of a central division algebra over a global function field $F$, we prove an explicit sufficient condition for moduli stacks of $D^\times$-shtukas to be proper over a finite field in terms of the local invariants of…
