We study the Beilinson-Bloch-Kato conjecture for polarized motives. In the conjugate self-dual case, we show that if the central $L$-value does not vanish, then the associated Bloch-Kato Selmer group with coefficients in a suitable local…

We show that a conjecture of Kotschick about one-forms without zeros on compact K\"ahler manifolds follows in the case of simple Albanese torus from a conjecture of Bobadilla and Koll\'ar about homologically trivial fibrations. As an…

Let $X$ be a complex submanifold of dimension $d$ of $\mathbb P^m\times\mathbb P^n$ ($m\geq n\geq 2$) and denote by $\alpha\colon\Pic(\mathbb P^m\times\mathbb P^n)\to \Pic(X)$ the restriction map of Picard groups, by $N_{X|\mathbb…

For a product $E_1\times E_2$ of two elliptic curves over a $p$-adic field with good supersingular reduction, we produce infinitely many rational equivalences in the Chow group $\mathrm{CH}_0(X)$ of zero cycles via genus 2 covers of $E_1$…

We study the Chow group of zero-cycles $\text{CH}_0(S)$ of a bielliptic surface $S=(E_1\times E_2)/G$, where $E_1, E_2$ are elliptic curves and $G$ is a finite group acting on $E_1$ by translations and on $E_2$ by automorphisms such that…

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group, and let $\omega:G \to [1,\infty)$ be a measurable weight, i.e., $\omega$ is measurable, and $\omega(s+t)\leq \omega(s)\omega(t)$ for all $s, t \in G$. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a semisimple commutative…

Let $X$ and $X'$ be affine algebraic varieties over a field $\mathbb{k}$. The celebrated Zariski Cancellation Problem asks as to when the existence of an isomorphism $X\times\mathbb{A}^n\cong X'\times\mathbb{A}^n$ implies $X\cong X'$. In…

Enriques varieties have been defined as higher-dimensional generalizations of Enriques surfaces. Bloch's conjecture implies that Enriques varieties should have trivial Chow group of zero-cycles. We prove this is the case for all known…

In this note we are going to consider a smooth projective surface equipped with an involution and study the action of the involution at the level of Chow group of zero cycles.

In a previous paper [9], we proved the following singularity theorem applicable to cosmological models with a positive cosmological constant: if a four-dimensional spacetime satisfying the null energy condition contains a compact Cauchy…

If $X$ is a closed $2n$-dimensional aspherical manifold, i.e., the universal cover of $X$ is contractible, then the Chern-Hopf-Thurston conjecture predicts that $(-1)^n\chi(X)\geq 0$. We prove this conjecture when $X$ is a complex…

The aim of this paper is to prove inequalities towards instances of the Bloch-Kato conjecture for Hilbert modular forms of parallel weight two, when the order of vanishing of the $L$-function at the central point is zero or one. We achieve…

In this article, we explore Higgs bundles on a projective manifold $X$, focusing on their spectral bases, a concept introduced by T.Chen and B.Ng\^{o}. The spectral base is a specific closed subscheme within the space of symmetric…

In this paper, the generalized Bloch Conjecture on zero cycles for the quotient of certain complete intersections with trivial canonical bundle is proved to hold. As an application of Bloch-Srinivas method on the decomposition of the…

A polar hypersurface P of a complex analytic hypersurface germ, f=0, can be investigated by analyzing the invariance of certain Newton polyhedra associated to the image of P, with respect to suitable coordinates, by certain morphisms…

Let $A$ be a special biserial algebra over an algebraically closed field. We show that the first Hohchshild cohomology group of $A$ with coefficients in the bimodule $A$ vanishes if and only if $A$ is representation finite and simply…

Using the recent results on square-free Gr\"obner degenerations by Conca and Varbaro, we proved that if a homogeneous ideal $I$ of a polynomial ring is such that its initial ideal $\mathrm{in}_<(I)$ is square-free and $\beta_0(I) =…

We prove that Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture holds for p-blocks of finite groups with metacyclic defect groups. If the defect group is nonabelian and contains a cyclic maximal subgroup, we obtain the distribution into p-conjugate and…

Inspired by the methods of Voisin, the first two authors recently proved that one could read off the gonality of a curve C from the syzygies of its ideal in any one embedding of sufficiently large degree. This was deduced from from a…

Humphreys' conjecture on blocks parametrises the blocks of reduced enveloping algebras $U_\chi({\mathfrak g})$, where ${\mathfrak g}$ is the Lie algebra of a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic…
