Let $f:X \to Y$ be a proper morphism of normal varieties with $f_*\mathcal{O}_X = \mathcal{O}_Y$. If $X$ is toric, then $Y$ is toric and $f$ is a toric morphism for some toric structures on $X$ and $Y$.

Each simplicial complex and integer vector yields a vector configuration whose combinatorial properties are important for the analysis of contingency tables. We study the normality of these vector configurations including a description of…

Monadically stable and monadically NIP classes of structures were initially studied in the context of model theory and defined in logical terms. They have recently attracted attention in the area of structural graph theory, as they…

The investigation of the relation among the distances of an arbitrary point in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ to the vertices of a regular $n$-simplex in that space has led us to the study of simplices having a regular facet. Calling an…

The discrete tensorial charges carried by orientifold planes define n-gerbes in space-time. The simplest way to ensure a consistent string compactification is to require these gerbes to be flat. This results in expressions for the local…

Astronomical data have shown that the galaxy rotation curves are mostly flat in the far distance of the galactic cores, which reveals the insufficiency of our knowledges about how gravity works in these regimes. In this paper we introduce a…

From a certain strongly equivariant bundle gerbe with connection and curving over a smooth manifold on which a Lie group acts, we construct under some conditions a bundle gerbe with connection and curving over the quotient space. In…

We provide a generalization of the algorithm of Eklund-Jost-Peterson for computing Segre classes of closed subschemes of projective k-space. The algorithm is here generalized to computing the Segre classes of closed subschemes of smooth…

Let $G$ be a connected semi-simple group defined over and algebraically closed field, $T$ a fixed Cartan, $B$ a fixed Borel containing $T$, $S$ a set of simple reflections associated to the simple positive roots corresponding to $(T,B)$,…

Let G be a complex reductive group. A normal G-variety X is called spherical if a Borel subgroup of G has a dense orbit in X. Of particular interest are spherical varieties which are smooth and affine since they form local models for…

The first purpose of this note is to comment on a recent article of Bursztyn, Lima and Meinrenken, in which it is proved that if M is a smooth submanifold of a manifold V, then there is a bijection between germs of tubular neighborhoods of…

For flat proper families of algebraic varieties with a smooth fiber, we describe the abelian category of coherent sheaves on the generic fiber as a Serre quotient. As an application, we prove specialization of derived equivalence. As…

This work concerns representations of a finite flat group scheme $G$, defined over a noetherian commutative ring $R$. The focus is on lattices, namely, finitely generated $G$-modules that are projective as $R$-modules, and on the full…

We investigate asymptotically flat manifolds with cone structure at infinity. We show that any such manifold M has a finite number of ends. For simply connected ends we classify all possible cones at infinity, except for the 4-dimensional…

In this paper we prove first a general theorem on semiorthogonal decompositions in derived categories of coherent sheaves for flat families over a smooth base. Based on the results of math.AG/0510670, we then show that the derived…

We show that log flat torsors over a family $X/S$ of nodal curves under a finite flat commutative group scheme $G/S$ are classified by maps from the Cartier dual of $G$ to the log Jacobian of $X$. We deduce that fppf torsors on the smooth…

Let Ng be the connected closed nonorientable surface of genus g >= 5 and Mod(Ng) denote the mapping class group of Ng. We prove that the outer automorphism group of Mod(Ng) is either trivial or Z if g is odd, and injects into the mapping…

Constant mean curvature surfaces in $S^3$ can be studied via their associated family of flat connections. In the case of tori this approach has led to a deep understanding of the moduli space of all CMC tori. For compact CMC surfaces of…

By considering the three dimensional Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}_1$ as a flat model of pseudo-hermitian manifolds, the authors in [8] derived the Frenet-Serret formulas for curves in $\mathbb{H}_1$. In this notes we show three applications…

Let $R$ by a right coherent ring and $R$-Mod denote the category of left $R$-modules. We show that there is an abelian model structure on $R$-Mod whose cofibrant objects are precisely the Gorenstein flat modules. Employing a new method for…
