An abelian cover is a finite morphism $X\to Y$ of varieties which is the quotient map for a generically faithful action of a finite abelian group $G$. Abelian covers with $Y$ smooth and $X$ normal were studied in…
In this note I extend two theorems of Sommese regarding abelian varieties to arbitrary characteristic; that an abelian variety cannot be an ample divisor in a smooth projective variety and that a cone over an abelian variety of dimension at…
Let $H$ be a connected spherical subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group $G$. In this paper, we give a criterion for $H$-orbit closures in the flag variety of $G$ to have nice geometric and cohomological properties. Our main tool is the…
We show, under some natural conditions, that the set of abelian points on the non-anomalous subset of a closed irreducible subvariety $X$ intersected with the union of connected algebraic subgroups of codimension at least $\dim X$ in a…
We compute the Azumaya loci of Kauffman-bracket skein algebras of closed surfaces at odd roots of unity and provide partial results for open surfaces as well. As applications, we give an alternative definition of the projective…
We solve a case of the Abelian Exponential-Algebraic Closedness Conjecture, a conjecture due to Bays and Kirby, building on work of Zilber, which predicts sufficient conditions for systems of equations involving algebraic operations and the…
For any manifold $M$, we introduce a $\ZZ $-graded differential algebra $\Xi$, which, in particular, is a bi-module over the associative algebra $C(M\cup M)$. We then introduce the corresponding covariant differentials and show how this…
We show that the class of twisted fractionally Calabi-Yau algebras of finite global dimension coincides with the stable endomorphism algebras of $d$-cluster tilting modules over $d$-representation-finite algebras. This is an application of…
Let $X$ be a smooth proper variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $\mathcal{A} \subset D^{b}_{\mathrm{coh}}(X)$ be an admissible subcategory. Let $Z \subset X$ be the union of set-theoretical supports of…
We provide criteria for self-adjointness and {\tau}-Fredhomness of first and second order differential operators acting on sections of infinite dimensional bundles, whose fibers are modules of finite type over a von Neumann algebra A…
We prove a Slice Theorem around closed leaves in a singular Riemannian foliation, and we use it to study the $C^\infty$-algebra of smooth basic functions, generalizing to the inhomogeneous setting a number of results by G.~Schwarz. In…
We examine the relationship between the notion of Frobenius splitting and ordinarity for varieties. We show the following: a) The de Rham-Witt cohomology groups $H^i(X, W({\mathcal O}_X))$ of a smooth projective Frobenius split variety are…
We obtain a new important basic result on splice-quotient singularities in an elegant combinatorial-geometric way: every level of the divisorial filtration of the ring of functions is generated by monomials of the defining coordinate…
The dimension of any module over an algebra of affiliated operators ${\mathcal U}$ of a finite von Neumann algebra ${\mathcal A}$ is defined using a trace on ${\mathcal A}.$ All zero-dimensional ${\mathcal U}$-modules constitute the torsion…
Let $L\subset X$ be a not necessarily orientable relatively $Pin$ Lagrangian submanifold in a symplectic manifold $X$. We construct a family of cyclic unital curved $A_\infty$ structures on differential forms on $L$ with values in the local…
It is proved that for any finite dimensional representation of a prime order group over the field of rational numbers, polynomial invariants of degree at most $3$ separate the orbits. A result providing an upper degree bound for separating…
We argue that once octonions are formulated as soft Lie algebras, they may be safely used and the non-associativity can be overcame. The necessary points are: (a) Fixing the direction of action by introducing the \delta operator. (b)…
Using formal-local methods, we prove that a separated and normal tame Artin surface has the resolution property. By proving that normal tame Artin stacks can be rigidified, we ultimately reduce our analysis to establishing the existence of…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a topological Azumaya algebra of degree $mn$ with an orthogonal involution over a CW complex $X$ of dimension less than or equal to $\min\{m,n\}$. We give conditions for the positive integers $m$ and $n$ so that…
Consider the differential forms $A^*(L)$ on a Lagrangian submanifold $L \subset X$. Following ideas of Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono, we construct a family of cyclic unital curved $A_\infty$ structures on $A^*(L),$ parameterized by the cohomology of…
