In this paper we consider maps on the plane which are similar to quadratic maps in that they are degree 2 branched covers of the plane. In fact, consider for $\alpha$ fixed, maps $f_c$ which have the following form (in polar coordinates):…
In this paper we \emph{explicitly} compute the transformation that maps the generic second order differential equation $y''= f(x, y, y')$ to the Painlev\'e first equation $y''=6y^2+x$ (resp. the Painlev\'e second equation ${y''=2 y^{3}+yx+…
Let F be a nonarchimedean local field and let G = GL(n) = GL(n,F). Let E/F be a finite Galois extension. We investigate base change E/F at two levels: at the level of algebraic varieties, and at the level of K-theory. We put special…
We define a canonical basis of the $q$-deformed Fock space representation of the affine Lie algebra $\glchap_n$. We conjecture that the entries of the transition matrix between this basis and the natural basis of the Fock space are…
A $\mathfrak{g}$-oper for a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is a specific type of flat principal bundle on an algebraic curve. When the base field is of prime characteristic $p$, those with vanishing $p$-curvature are called dormant…
The level l Fock space admits canonical bases G_e and G_\infty. They correspond to U_{v}(hat{sl}_{e}) and U_{v}(sl_{\infty})-module structures. We establish that the transition matrices relating these two bases are unitriangular with…
Let g be a complex reductive Lie algebra with Cartan algebra h. Hotta and Kashiwara defined a holonomic D-module M, on g x h, called Harish-Chandra module. We relate gr(M), an associated graded module with respect to a canonical Hodge…
We explain how Cohen--Macaulay classifying spaces are ubiquitous among discrete groups that satisfy Bieri--Eckmann duality, and compare Bieri--Eckmann duality to duality results for Cohen--Macaulay complexes. We use this comparison to give…
Let R be a commutative ring, M an R-module, and N a finitely presented R-module such that the intersection of Max(R) and Supp(N) is finite-dimensional and Noetherian. Suppose also that N is homothetic; in other words, suppose that the…
We prove a canonical bundle formula for generically finite morphisms in the setting of generalized pairs (with $\mathbb{R}$-coefficients). This complements Filipazzi's canonical bundle formula for morphisms with connected fibres. It is then…
Let $S$ be an unramified regular local ring of mixed characteristic two and $R$ the integral closure of $S$ in a biquadratic extension of its quotient field obtained by adjoining roots of sufficiently general square free elements $f,g\in…
We discuss a question which appears in [S\'eminaire de G\'eom\'etrie Alg\'ebrique du Bous Marie- Th\'eorie des topos et cohomologie \'etale des sch\'emas, Expos\'e XII, Remarks 6.13] concerning proper base change. In particular, we propose…
For a non-isotrivial family of surfaces of general type over a complex projective curve, we give upper bounds for the degree of the direct images of powers of the relative dualizing sheaf. They imply that, fixing the curve and the possible…
We show that nonabelian duality is not a symmetry of a conformal field theory, but rather a symmetry between different theories. We expose a nonlocal symmetry of nonabelian dual theories. We show how, in the case with vanishing isotropy, it…
Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an excellent Gorenstein local ring of dimension $d \geq 2$ which is an isolated singularity. Let $\widehat{A}$ denote the completion of $A$. If $G(A)$ is the Grothendieck group of $A$ then by $G(A)_\mathbb{Q}$ we…
Let $X$ be a Gorenstein minimal projective 3-fold with at worst locally factorial terminal singularities. Suppose the canonical map is of fiber type. Denote by $F$ a smooth model of a generic irreducible component in fibers of the canonical…
We show that if f: X --> Y is a finite, separable morphism of smooth curves defined over a finite field F_q, where q is larger than an explicit constant depending only on the degree of f and the genus of X, then f maps X(F_q) surjectively…
We introduce the notion of dual perfect bases and dual perfect graphs. We show that every integrable highest weight module $V_q(\lambda)$ over a quantum generalized Kac-Moody algebra $U_{q}(\mathcal{g})$ has a dual perfect basis and its…
Let $f \colon X \to A$ be a morphism from a smooth projective variety to an abelian variety (over the field of complex numbers). We show that the sheaves $f_* \omega_X^{\otimes m}$ become globally generated after pullback by an isogeny. We…
The article primarily surveys work that followed from the formulas discovered by Avramov and Iyengar in 2008, which permit one to compute certain Hochschild homology and cohomology modules as expressions involving dualizing complexes. One…
