In this note we first study regular $\mathbb{Z}$-graded local rings. We characterize commutative noetherian regular $\mathbb{Z}$-graded local rings in similar ways as in the usual local case. Then, we characterize graded isolated…

The toroidalization conjecture of D. Abramovich, K. Karu, K. Matsuki, and J. Wlodarczyk asks whether any given morphism of nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero can be modified into a toroidal…

We describe various structures of algebraic nature on the space of continuous valuations on convex sets, their properties (like versions of Poincar\'e duality and hard Lefschetz theorem), and their relations and applications to integral…

It is known since the works of Zariski in early 40ies that desingularization of varieties along valuations (called local uniformization of valuations) can be considered as the local part of the desingularization problem. It is still an open…

Let $\mathrm{SO}^+(p,q)$ denote the identity connected component of the real orthogonal group with signature $(p,q)$. We give a complete description of the spaces of continuous and generalized translation- and $\mathrm{SO}^+(p,q)$-invariant…

We prove well-posedness and regularity results for elliptic boundary value problems on certain domains with a smooth set of singular points. Our class of domains contains the class of domains with isolated oscillating conical singularities,…

We study local equivalence of bounded complexes over a polynomial ring $R[w]$, where $R$ is a noetherian ring. We provide a homological algebra approach to the results, the variants of which have been proved in many places in the…

The main purpose of this paper is to show that ideas of deformation theory can be applied to "infinite dimensional geometry". We develop the deformation theory of Brody curves. Brody curve is a kind of holomorphic map from the complex plane…

In this paper we provide a deep and systematic study of what it means to be an immersion, a submersion, a local diffeomorphism, and unramified in a tangent category. We also give a systematic study of the ways in which these classes of…

For a morphism $f : X \to Y$ of schemes, we give a tropical criterion for which points of $Y$ (valued in a field, discrete valuation ring, number ring, or Dedekind domain) lift to $X$. Our criterion extends the firmaments of Abramovich to a…

We study algebras k[x_1,...,x_n]/I which admit a grading by a subsemigroup of N^d such that every graded component is a one-dimensional k-vector space. V.I.~Arnold and coworkers proved that for d = 1 and n <= 3 there are only finitely many…

Let $R$ be a positively graded finitely generated $\textbf{k}$-domain with Krull dimension $d+1$. We show that there is a homogeneous valuation $\mathfrak{v}: R \setminus \{0\} \to \mathbb{Z}^d$ of rank $d$ such that the associated graded…

A toric vector bundle $\mathcal{E}$ is a torus equivariant vector bundle on a toric variety. We give a valuation theoretic and tropical point of view on toric vector bundles. We present three (equivalent) classifications of toric vector…

We develop notions of valuations on a semiring, with a view toward extending the classical theory of abstract nonsingular curves and discrete valuation rings to this general algebraic setting; the novelty of our approach lies in the…

As in Zariski's Uniformization Theorem we show that a valuation ring $V$ of characteristic $p>0$ of dimension one is a filtered direct limit of smooth ${\bf F}_p$-algebras under some conditions of transcendence degree. Under mild…

Towards building tropical analogues of adic spaces, we study certain spaces of prime congruences as a topological semiring replacement for the space of continuous valuations on a topological ring. This requires building the theory of…

The aim of this article is to prove some results on the existence of an integral extension domain of a complete local Noetherian domain in mixed characteristic $p>0$ having certain distinguished properties with respect to the Frobenius map.…

Let $V$ be a valuation domain with quotient field $K$. Given a pseudo-convergent sequence $E$ in $K$, we study two constructions associating to $E$ a valuation domain of $K(X)$ lying over $V$, especially when $V$ has rank one. The first one…

The module category of any artin algebra is filtered by the powers of its radical, thus defining an associated graded category. As an extension of the degree of irreducible morphisms, this text introduces the degree of morphisms in the…

We establish a formula for the classes of certain tori in the Grothendieck ring of varieties, in terms of its lambda-structure. More explicitly, we will see that if L* is the torus of invertible elements in the n-dimensional separable…
