In this paper, we extend Waldhausen's results on algebraic K-theory of generalized free produts in a more general setting and we give some properties of the Nil functors. As a consequence, we get new groups with trivial Whitehead groups.

Over a global field (number field or function field of a curve over a finite field), theorems for the Galois cohomology of algebraic groups have long been known. For $F$ the function field of a curve over the formal series field…

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring, $\textsf{X}$ a subshift, and $\widetilde{\mathcal{A}}_R(\textsf{X})$ the corresponding unital subshift algebra. We establish the reduction theorem for $\widetilde{\mathcal{A}}_R(\textsf{X})$. As a…

Let k be a field. Let G be an absolutely almost simple simply connected k-group of type A_l, l>=2, or D_l, l>=4, containing a 2-dimensional split torus. If G is of type D_l, assume moreover that char k is different from 2. We show that the…

Pseudo-automorphisms are birational transformations acting as regular automorphisms in codimension 1. We import ideas from geometric group theory to prove that a group of birational transformations that satisfies a fixed point property on…

We provide for all prime numbers $p$ examples of smooth projective curves over a field of characteristic $p$ for which base change of the fundamental group scheme fails. This is intimately related to how $F$-trivial vector bundles, i.e.…

A proof of freeness of the commutator subgroup of the fundamental group of a smooth irreducible affine curve over a countable algebraically closed field of nonzero characteristic. A description of the abelianizations of the fundamental…

We study the subgroup of $k$-automorphisms of $k[x,y]$ which commute with a simple derivation $D$ of $k[x,y].$ We prove, for example, that this subgroup is trivial when $D$ is a Shamsuddin simple derivation. In the general case of simple…

The goal of this paper is to give an explicit formula for the l-adic cohomology of period domains over finite fields for arbitrary reductive groups. The result is a generalisation of the computation in math.AG/9907098 which treats the case…

Motivated by the strong nearby Lagrangian conjecture, we constrain the parametrised Whitehead torsion of a family of closed exact Lagrangian submanifolds in a cotangent bundle. We prove the parametrised Whitehead torsion admits a…

This paper develops a theory of analytic geometry over the field with one element. The approach used is the analytic counter-part of the Toen-Vaquie theory of schemes over F_1, i.e. the base category relative to which we work out our theory…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a real quadratic field $F$. Let $p > 5$ be a rational prime that is inert in $F$ and assume that $E$ has split multiplicative reduction at the prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $F$ dividing $p$. Let…

In this article I define and study the overconvergent rigid fundamental group of a variety over an equicharacteristic local field. This is a non-abelian $(\varphi,\nabla)$-module over the bounded Robba ring $\mathcal{E}_K^\dagger$, whose…

We address the question of existence of absolutely simple abelian varieties of dimension 2 with everywhere good reduction over quadratic fields. The emphasis will be given to the construction of pairs $(K,C)$, where $K$ is a quadratic…

We give a purely algebraic treatment of reduction theory for connections over the formal punctured disc. Our proofs apply to arbitrary connected linear algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We also state…

Let $F$ be a $p$-adic field, and $K$ a quadratic extension of $F$. Using Tadic's classification of the unitary dual of $GL(n,K)$, we give the list of irreducible unitary representations of this group distinguished by $GL(n,F)$, in terms of…

The Bass-Heller-Swan-Farrell-Hsiang-Siebenmann decomposition of the Whitehead group $K_1(A_{\rho}[z,z^{-1}])$ of a twisted Laurent polynomial extension $A_{\rho}[z,z^{-1}]$ of a ring $A$ is generalized to a decomposition of the Whitehead…

In this paper, we show that the maximal divisible subgroup of groups $K_1$ and $K_2$ of an elliptic curve $E$ over a function field is uniquely divisible. Further those $K$-groups modulo this uniquely divisible subgroup are explicitly…

We consider the reduction of Brauer classes on surfaces over number fields, with a view toward applications to rationality and derived equivalence. We show that a Brauer class on a very general polarized K3 surface over a number field…
