Generalizing the star graphs of M\"uller-Stach and Westrich, we describe a class of graphs whose associated graph hypersurface is equipped with a non-trivial torus action. For such graphs, we show that the Euler characteristic of the…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$ and $E/K$ an elliptic curve over $K$. For a finite extension $L/K$ and a prime~$\ell$, we provide Galois-theoretic sufficient conditions on $L/K$ under which…

In order to have cohomological operations for de Rham p-adic cohomology with coefficients as manageable as possible, the main purpose of this paper is to solve intrinsically and from a cohomological point of view the lifting problem of…

In this short note, we provide a calculation of the Euler characteristic of a finite homotopy colimit of finite cell complexes, which depends only on the Euler characteristics of each space and resembles Mobius inversion. Versions of the…

Over $\C$, Henry Laufer classified all taut surface singularities. We adapt and extent his transcendental methods to positive characteristic. With this we show that if a normal surface singularity is taut over $\C$, then the normal surface…

We compute tautological integrals over Quot schemes on curves and surfaces. After obtaining several explicit formulas over Quot schemes of dimension 0 quotients on curves (and finding a new symmetry), we apply the results to tautological…

We examine conditions under which there exists a non-constant family of Galois branched covers of curves over an algebraically closed field $k$ of fixed degree and fixed ramification locus, under a notion of equivalence derived from…

Using pagoda flop transitions between smooth projective threefolds, a relation is derived between the Euler numbers of moduli spaces of stable pairs which are scheme-theoretically supported on a fixed singular space curve and Euler numbers…

The main problem this thesis deals with is the characterization of profinite groups which are realizable as absolute Galois groups of fields: this is currently one of the major problems in Galois theory. Usually one reduces the problem to…

A complete description of the local geometry of the $p$-adic eigencurve at $p$-irregular classical weight one cusp forms is given in the cases where the usual $R=T$ methods fall short. As an application, we show that the ordinary $p$-adic…

Let $C \subset \mathbb{P}^3$ be a general Brill--Noether curve. A classical problem is to determine when $H^0(N_C(-2)) = 0$, which controls the quadric section of $C$. So far this problem has only been solved in characteristic zero, in…

If $C$ is a curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with genus at least $2$ and $C(\mathbb{Q})$ is empty, then the class of fields $K$ of characteristic 0 such that $C(K) = \varnothing$ has a model companion, which we call $C\mathrm{XF}$. The theory…

In this article we study smooth families of stratified bundles in positive characteristic and the variation of their monodromy group.Our aim is, in particular, to strengthen the weak form of the positive equicharacteristic $p$-curvature…

We show that when the genus and punctures of a surface are directly proportional by some rational number the minimal asymptotic translation length in the curve complex has behavior inverse to the square of the Euler characteristic. We also…

We study the chromatic number of the curve graph of a surface. We show that the chromatic number grows like k log k for the graph of separating curves on a surface of Euler characteristic -k. We also show that the graph of curves that…

We construct an Euler system -- a compatible family of global cohomology classes -- for the Galois representations appearing in the geometry of Hilbert modular surfaces. If a conjecture of Bloch and Kato on injectivity of regulator maps…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ and let $\ell$ be another prime number. O. Gabber and F. Loeser proved that for any algebraic torus $T$ over $k$ and any perverse $\ell$-adic sheaf $\calF$ on $T$ the Euler…

We obtain a precise relation between the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a subvariety of projective space and the Euler characteristics of its general linear sections. In the case of a hypersurface, this leads to simple proofs of…

I give a new proof, in scheme-theoretic language, of Tate's old result on genus-change over nonperfect fields in characteristic p>0. Namely, for normal geometrically integral curves, the difference between arithmetic and geometric genus…

For a non-CM elliptic curve $E$ defined over a number field $K$, the Galois action on its torsion points gives rise to a Galois representation $\rho_E: Gal(\overline{K}/K)\to GL_2(\widehat{\mathbb{Z}})$ that is unique up to isomorphism. A…
