We use a variation of a classical construction of A. Hatcher to construct virtually all stable exotic smooth structures on compact smooth manifold bundles whose fibers have sufficiently large odd dimension (at least twice the base dimension…

Let $X$ be a smooth variety over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. An $F$-sandwich of $X$ is a normal variety $Y$ through which the relative Frobenius morphism of $X$ factors as $F:X\rightarrow Y \rightarrow X$. In…

We show that there exist flat surface bundles with closed leaves having non-trivial normal bundles. This leads us to compute the Abelianisation of surface diffeomorphism groups with marked points. We also extend a formula of Tsuboi that…

We prove that affine invariant manifolds in strata of flat surfaces are algebraic varieties. The result is deduced from a generalization of a theorem of M\"oller. Namely, we prove that the image of a certain twisted Abel-Jacobi map lands in…

We describe the equations and Gr\"obner bases of some degenerate K3 surfaces associated to rational normal scrolls. These K3 surfaces are members of a class of interesting singular projective varieties we call correspondence scrolls. The…

We study second order and third order linear differential equations with analytic coefficients under the viewpoint of finding formal solutions and studying their convergence. We address some untouched aspects of Frobenius methods for second…

We show that odd order transcendental elements of the Brauer group of a K3 surface can obstruct the Hasse principle. We exhibit a general K3 surface $Y$ of degree 2 over $\mathbb{Q}$ together with a three torsion Brauer class $\alpha$ that…

In this paper we study the skein modules of the surfaces, $\Sigma_{i,j}$ $(i,j)\in \{(0,2),(0,3),(1,0),(1,1)\}$ at $2N$-th roots of unity where $N\geq 3$ is an odd counting number and construct Frobenius algebras from them.

We compute the subgroup of the monodromy group of a generalized Kummer variety associated to equivalences of derived categories of abelian surfaces. The result was previously announced in arXiv:1201.0031. Mongardi showed that the subgroup…

Let $X\subset \P^n$ be a possibly singular hypersurface of degree $d\le n$, defined over a finite field $k$. We show that the diagonal, suitably interpreted, is decomposable. This gives a proof that the eigenvalues of the Frobenius action…

An important breakthrough in understanding the geometry of Schubert varieties was the introduction of the notion of Frobenius split varieties and the result that the flag varieties G/P are Frobenius split. The aim of this article is to give…

Abelian Lagrangians containing Phi^4-type vertices are regularized by means of a suitable point-splitting scheme combined with generalized gauge transformations.. The calculation is developed in details for a general Lagrangean, whose…

According to Laumon, an affine Springer fiber is homeomorphic to the universal abelian covering of the compactified Jacobian of a spectral curve. We construct equivariant deformations $f_{n}:\overline{\mathcal{P}}_{n}\to \mathcal{B}_{n}$ of…

For a normal projective variety $X$, the $\bf Q$-factoriality defect $\sigma(X)$ is defined to be the rank of the quotient of the group of Weil divisors by the subgroup of Cartier ones. We prove a slight improvement of a topological formula…

We give two explicit versions of the decomposition theorem of Beilinson, Bernstein and Deligne applied to the universal family of quartic surfaces of $\mathbb{P}^3$. The starting point of our investigation is the remark that the nodes of a…

Continuing the research initiated in \cite{Fr-Ki2}, we study the existence of solutions and their regularity for the cohomological equations $X u=f$ for locally Hamiltonian flows (determined by the vector field $X$) on a compact surface $M$…

Suppose that $f:X\to C$ is a general Jacobian elliptic surface over the complex numbers. Then the primitive cohomology $H^{1,1}_{prim}(X)$ has, up to a sign, a natural orthonormal basis $(\eta_i)_{i\in [1, N]}$ given by certain meromorphic…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be schemes of finite type over $\mathrm{Spec}\ \mathbb{Z}$ and let $\alpha: Y \to X$ be a finite map. We show the following holds for all sufficiently large primes $p$: If $\phi$ and $\psi$ are any splittings on $X \times…

This is a modest attempt to study, in a systematic manner, the structure of low dimensional varieties in positive characteristics using $p$-adic invariants. The main objects of interest in this paper are surfaces and threefolds. It is known…

In this paper we show that any smoothable complex projective variety, smooth in codimension two, with klt singularities and numerically trivial canonical class admits a finite cover, \'etale in codimension one, that decomposes as a product…
