Let M be a closed 3-manifold and S(M) the skein module of M at some odd root of unity. Using the Frobenius morphism, we can see S(M) as the space of global sections of a coherent sheaf over the SL2 character scheme of M. We prove that when…

For a local complete intersection subvariety $X=V({\mathcal I})$ in ${\mathbb P}^n$ over a field of characteristic zero, we show that, in cohomological degrees smaller than the codimension of the singular locus of $X$, the cohomology of…

The goal of this work is to pursue the study of pseudo-effective line bundles and vector bundles. Our first result is a generalization of the Hard Lefschetz theorem for cohomology with values in a pseudo-effective line bundle. The Lefschetz…

We investigate the injectivity of the Frobenius map on thickenings of smooth varieties in projective space over a field of positive characteristic. We obtain uniform bounds -- i.e., independent of the characteristic -- on the thickening…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Given a semistable vector bundle $E$ over $X$, we show that its direct image $F\_*E$ under the Frobenius map…

In this article we deduce criteria for the splitting and the triviality of vector bundles, by restricting them to partially ample divisors. This allows to study the problem of splitting on the total space of fibre bundles. The statements…

In this article, we propose a definition of Nakano semi-positivity of singular Hermitian metrics on holomorphic vector bundles. By using this positivity notion, we establish $L^2$-estimates for holomorphic vector bundles with Nakano…

We give elementary counterexamples to Kodaira vanishing in prime characteristic constructed as the projectivization of Frobenius pull-backs of natural bundles on the incidence variety of points and planes in projective n-space (n>2).

We compute the diagonal F-thresholds of determinantal hypersurfaces arising from a generic matrix and from a generic symmetric matrix, as well as of the Pfaffian hypersurface arising from a generic skew-symmetric matrix of even size. The…

We survey results concerning behavior of positivity of line bundles and possible vanishing theorems in positive characteristic. We also try to describe variation of positivity in mixed characteristic. These problems are very much related to…

In the present paper, we establish a general Kawamata-Viehweg-Koll\'ar-Nadel type vanishing theorem for higher direct images in terms of numerical dimension for closed positive currents on compact K\"ahler manifolds, unifying a number of…

We study the behaviour of analytic torsion under smooth fibrations. Namely, let F \to E \to^{f} B be a smooth fiber bundle of connected closed oriented smooth manifolds and let $V$ be a flat vector bundle over $E$. Assume that $E$ and $B$…

We prove a Witt vector version of the usual Grauert-Riemenschneider vanishing theorem over fields of positive characteristic, solving a question raised by Blickle, Esnault, Chatzistamatiaou and R\"ulling. We then deduce some rationality…

In this paper, we study the cohomology of vector bundles on projective space defined as kernels or cokernels of general maps $V_1 \to V_2$, where the $V_i$ are direct sums of line bundles or certain exceptional bundles. We prove an…

Here we examine the quantum-mechanical decay of a Schwarzschild-like black hole, formed by gravitational collapse, into almost-flat space-time and weak radiation at a very late time, in order to evaluate quantum amplitudes (not just…

Let $A$ be a non-CM simple abelian variety over a number field $K$. For a place $v$ of $K$ such that $A$ has good reduction at $v$, let $F(A,v)$ denote the Frobenius field generated by the corresponding Frobenius eigenvalues. Assuming $A$…

Introduced by Takagi and Watanabe, the F-pure threshold is an invariant defined in terms of the Frobenius homomorphism. While it finds applications in various settings, it is primarily used as a local invariant. The purpose of this note is…

Let E be an elementary abelian p-group of rank r and let k be a field of characteristic p. We introduce functors F_i from finitely generated kE-modules of constant Jordan type to vector bundles over projective space of dimension r-1. The…

This paper reviews recent work on a new geometric object called a bundle gerbe and discusses some new examples arising in quantum field theory. One application is to an Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theory construction of the bundle of…

We use the Leray spectral sequence for the sheaf cohomology groups with compact supports to obtain a vanishing result. The stalks of sheaves $R^{\bullet}\phi_{!}\mathcal{O}$ for the structure sheaf $\mathcal{O}$ on the total space of a…
