The present status of the problems in my book "Cardinal Invariants on Boolean algebras" (Birkhauser 1996) is described, with a description of solutions or partial solutions, and references.
This paper is an extended version of four lectures at PIMS in Vancouver given June 27 - 30, 2016. The primary goal of these lectures was to publicize the author's recent efforts to extend to representations of linear algebraic groups the…
In this paper, we study group equations with occurrences of automorphisms. We describe equational domains in this class of equations. Moreover, we solve a number of open problem posed in universal algebraic geometry.
This is an expository paper on rationally connected varieties. The aim is to provide an introduction to the subject, as well as to discuss a recent result by T. Graber, J. Harris and J. Starr. The paper is based on the talk I gave at the…
Choose a polynomial in three variables with not more than three or four monomials of moderate degree. Take simple coefficients as 1 and -1. Then draw a picture of the solution variety in real three space using a ray-tracing program like…
An algebraic technique adapted to the problems of the fundamental theoretical physics is presented. The exposition is an elaboration and an extension of the methods proposed in previous works by the aut
Lecture notes of an algebraic geometry graduate course. The topics covered are as follows. Cohomology: ext sheaves and groups, cohomology with support, local cohomology, local duality. Duality: relative duality, Cohen-Macaulay schemes.…
Invited lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians, Zuerich, August 3-11, 1994 (extended version), reviews free field realizations of affine Kac-Moody and W-algebras and their applications.
Submanifolds of finite type were introduced by the author during the late 1970s. The first results on this subject had been collected in author's book [Total mean curvature and sub manifolds of finite type, World Scientific, NJ, 1984]. A…
This set of Montreal lectures is an elementary and sketchy introduction to the general field of random matrices. The first half is devoted to combinatorial models, whereas the second half deals with random matrix questions(GUE, etc...).
This note completes a talk given at the conference Curves over Finite Fields: past, present and future celebrating the publication the book {\em Rational Points on Curves over Finite Fields by J.-P. Serre and organised at Centro de ciencias…
Here we present the results of the NSF-funded Workshop on Computational Topology, which met on June 11 and 12 in Miami Beach, Florida. This report identifies important problems involving both computation and topology.
We consider the problem of extending maps from algebras to their profinite completions in finitely generated quasivarieties. Our developments are based on the construction of the profinite completion of an algebra as its natural extension.…
This is a survey of results on the Hilbert property of algebraic varieties, and variants of it.
This paper presents an alternative approach to simplify the proofs of some important results related to polynomial mappings in Computational Algebraic Geometry such as Polynomial Implicitization, Image Closure and some properties of the…
In this article, we study and review some aspects of twisted cohomologies on algebraic and analytic varieties. We compared such cohomologies in both the algebraic and analytic categories and defined two types of twisting parameters in the…
This is a textbook on arithmetic geometry with special regard to unramified Brauer groups of algebraic varieties. The topics include Galois cohomology, Brauer groups, obstructions to stable rationality, arithmetic and geometry of quadrics,…
Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and $G$ be a finite abelian group. If $A=\oplus_{g\in G} A_g$ is a $G$-graded algebra, we study degree-inverting involutions on $A$, i.e., involutions $*$ on $A$ satisfying…
We study a family of birational maps of smooth affine quadric 3-folds, {over the complex numbers}, of the form $x_1x_4-x_2x_3=$ constant, which seems to have some (among many others) interesting/unexpected characters: a) they are…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce an algebraic cohomology and formal deformation theory of left alternative algebras. Connections to some other algebraic structures are given also.
