Let $K$ be the function field of a $p$-adic curve, $G$ a semisimple simply connected group over $K$ and $X$ a $G$-torsor over $K$. A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Parimala and Suresh predicts that if for every discrete valuation $v$ of…

We define Strebel differentials for stable complex curves, prove the existence and uniqueness theorem that generalizes Strebel's theorem for smooth curves, prove that Strebel differentials form a continuous family over the moduli space of…

We generalize Iskovskih's theorem about surfaces without irregularity and bigenus from the smooth case to regular surfaces over arbitrary fields, with special focus on the case of imperfect fields. This includes surfaces that are…

Let S be a K3 surface and assume for simplicity that it does not contain any (-2)-curve. Using coherent systems, we express every non-simple Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundle on S as an extension of two sheaves of some special type, that we refer to…

We prove that if a H\"older continuous fiber-bunched cocycle $\hat{A}$ over an invertible hyperbolic transitive shift $\hat{\Sigma}$ satisfies an appropriate strong irreducibility condition on Grassmannians, then $\hat{\Sigma}$ admits an…

We describe the locus of stable bundles on a smooth genus $g$ curve that fail to be globally generated. For each rank $r$ and degree $d$ with $rg<d<r(2g-1)$, we exhibit a component of the expected dimension. We show moreover that no…

We show that the Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture (FIC) of Farrell and Jones corresponding to the stable topological pseudoisotopy functor is true for the fundamental groups of a large class of 3-manifolds. We also prove that if the FIC is…

The conchoid of a plane curve $C$ is constructed using a fixed circle $B$ in the affine plane. We generalize the classical definition so that we obtain a conchoid from any pair of curves $B$ and $C$ in the projective plane. We present two…

Let K be an algebraic number field, O_K the ring of integers of K, and f : X --> Spec(O_K) an arithmetic surface. Let (E, h) be a rank r Hermitian vector bundle on X such that $E$ is semistable on the geometric generic fiber of f. In this…

In this paper, we develop a general framework of geometric functorial field theories, meaning that all bordisms in question are endowed with geometric structures. We take particular care to establish a notion of smooth variation of such…

The Milnor conjecture has been a driving force in the theory of quadratic forms over fields, guiding the development of the theory of cohomological invariants, ushering in the theory of motivic cohomology, and touching on questions ranging…

We prove Vojta's generalized abc conjecture for algebraic tori over function fields with exceptional sets that can be determined effectively. Additionally, we establish a version of the conjecture for toric varieties. As an application, we…

In this paper, we shall prove Beauville's conjecture: if $f:S \to P^1$ is a non-trivial semistable fibration of genus g>1, then $f$ admits at least 5 singular fibers. We have also constructed an example of genus 2 with 5 singular fibers.…

Let $V$ be an infinite-dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic not equal to $2$. Given a nondegenerate quadratic form $f$ on $V$, we consider the Clifford algebra $\mathrm{Cl}(V,f)$. Any orthogonal linear transformation of…

Let $ K $ be a global function field of characteristic $ 2 $. For each non-trivial place $ v $ of $ K $, let $ K_{v} $ be the completion of $ K $ at $ v $. We show that if two non-degenerate quadratic forms are similar over every $ K_{v} $,…

Let $F$ be a field complete with respect to a discrete valuation whose residue field is perfect of characteristic $p>0$. We prove that every smooth, projective, geometrically irreducible curve of genus one defined over $F$ with a non-zero…

We prove that a $C^2$-generic Riemannian metric on a closed surface has either an elliptic closed geodesic or an Anosov geodesic flow. As a consequence, we prove the $C^2$-stability conjecture for Riemannian geodesic flows of closed…

For a fixed 2-block Springer fiber, we describe the structure of its irreducible components and their relation to the Bialynicki-Birula paving, following work of Fung. That is, we consider the space of complete flags in C^n preserved by a…

Given an open subset U of a projective curve Y and a smooth family f:V-->U of curves, with semi-stable reduction over Y, we show that for a sub variation of Hodge structures of rank >2 the Arakelov inequality must be strict. For families of…

We investigate sections of arithmetic fundamental groups of hyperbolic curves over function fields. As a consequence we prove that the anabelian section conjecture of Grothendieck holds over all finitely generated fields over $\Bbb Q$ if it…
