Answering a question of P\'alfy and Pyber, we first prove the following extension of the k(GV)-Problem: Let G be a finite group and A\le Aut(G) such that (|G|,|A|)=1. Then the number of conjugacy classes of the semidirect product GA is at…

We argue that M-theory compactified on an arbitrary genus-one fibration, that is, an elliptic fibration which need not have a section, always has an F-theory limit when the area of the genus-one fiber approaches zero. Such genus-one…

We systematically study the moduli theory of symplectic varieties (in the sense of Beauville) which admit a resolution by an irreducible symplectic manifold. In particular, we prove an analog of Verbitsky's global Torelli theorem for the…

G.W. Mackey's celebrated obstruction theory for projective representations of locally compact groups was remarkably generalized by J. M. G. Fell and R. S. Doran to the wide area of saturated Banach *-algebraic bundles. Analogous obstruction…

We prove a lifting theorem for odd Frattini covers of finite groups. Using this, we characterize solvable groups and more generally p-solvable groups in terms of containing a triple of elements of distinct prime power orders with product 1.…

Let $G$ denote an adjoint semi-simple group over an algebraically closed field and $T$ a maximal torus of $G$. Following Contou-Carr\`ere [CC], we consider the Bott-Samelson resolution of a Schubert variety as a variety of galleries in the…

Using a certain well-posed ODE problem introduced by Shilnikov in the sixties, G. Minervini proved in his PhD thesis [17], among other things, the Harvey-Lawson Diagonal Theorem but without the restrictive tameness condition for Morse…

Consider an automorphism group of a finite-dimensional algebra. S. Halperin conjectured that the unity component of this group is solvable if the algebra is a complete intersection. The solvability criterion recently obtained by M. Schulze…

We establish a Liouville-type theorem for a subcritical nonlinear problem, involving a fractional power of the sub-Laplacian in the Heisenberg group. To prove our result we will use the local realization of fractional CR covariant…

In this paper, we prove fibration theorems for manifolds with almost nonnegative Ricci curvature and certain extra regularity assumptions. We show that a closed $n$-manifold $M$ satisfying $\mathrm{diam}(M)^2\mathrm{sec}_M \geq -\kappa$ and…

The Shafarevich conjecture for a class of varieties over a number field posits the finitude of those with good reduction outside a finite set of primes. In the case of hypersurfaces in the torus $\mathbb{G}_m^n$, a natural class to consider…

Given a finite group $G$ and two unitary $G$-representations $V$ and $W$, possible restrictions on Brouwer degrees of equivariant maps between representation spheres $S(V)$ and $S(W)$ are usually expressed in a form of congruences modulo…

The Grothendieck--Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group over a regular semilocal ring is itself trivial. Extending the work of \v{C}esnavi\v{c}ius and Fedorov, we prove a non-noetherian…

Let $k$ be a number field, and let $S$ be a finite set of maximal ideals of the ring of integers of $k$. In his 1962 ICM address, Shafarevich asked if there are only finitely many $k$-isomorphism classes of algebraic curves of a fixed genus…

The Gr\"unbaum-Hadwiger-Ramos hyperplane mass partition problem was introduced by Gr\"unbaum (1960) in a special case and in general form by Ramos (1996). It asks for the "admissible" triples $(d,j,k)$ such that for any $j$ masses in…

We consider local-global principles for torsors under linear algebraic groups, over function fields of curves over complete discretely valued fields. The obstruction to such a principle is a version of the Tate-Shafarevich group; and for…

We obtain a refinement of Manin-Mumford (Raynaud's Theorem) for abelian schemes over some ring of integers. Torsion points are replaced by special 0-cycles, that is reductions modulo some, possibly varying, prime of Galois orbits of torsion…

We prove an accessibility theorem for finite-index splittings of groups. Given a finitely presented group G there is a number n(G) such that, for every reduced locally finite G-tree T with finitely generated stabilizers, T/G has at most…

The main result of this note is an effective uniform bound for the number of deformation types of certain nonisotrivial families of canonically polarized manifolds. It extends the author's earlier such bound for the classical Shafarevich…

The spaces of triangulations of a given manifold have been widely studied. The celebrated theorem of Pachner~\cite{Pachner} says that any two triangulations of a given manifold can be connected by a sequence of bistellar moves, or Pachner…
