We show that for each algebraic space that is separated and of finite type over a field, and whose affinization is connected and reduced, there is a universal morphism to a para-abelian variety. The latter are schemes that acquire the…

Let $(X ,x_0)$ be a pointed smooth proper variety defined over an algebraically closed field. The Albanese morphism for $(X ,x_0)$ produces a homomorphism from the abelianization of the $F$-divided fundamental group scheme of $X$ to the…

Let X be a proper smooth variety over the complex numbers. We consider the generalized Albanese variety Alb(X,Y) of X of modulus Y, which is a higher dimensional analogue of the generalized Jacobian variety with modulus of Rosenlicht-Serre.…

Let k be an algebraically closed field and X a smooth projective k-variety. A famous theorem of A. A. Roitman states that the canonical map from the degree zero part of the Chow group of zero cycles on X to the group of k-points of its…

We explicitly describe the Albanese morphism of a hyperelliptic variety, i.e., the quotient $X$ of an abelian variety $A$ by a finite group $G$ acting freely and not only by translations, by giving a description of the Albanese variety and…

Let X be a projective variety over an algebraically closed base field, possibly singular. The aim of this paper is to show that the generalized Albanese variety of Esnault-Srinivas-Viehweg can be computed from one general curve C in X, if…

Let $a_X:X\rightarrow \mathrm{Alb}\, X$ be the Albanese map of a smooth complex projective variety. Roughly speaking in this note we prove that for all $i \geq 0$ and $\alpha\in \mathrm{Pic}^0\, X$, the cohomology ranks $h^i(\mathrm{Alb}\,…

Let X be a normal quasi-projective variety over $\mathbb{C}$. We study its higher Albanese manifolds, introduced by Hain and Zucker, from the point of view of o-minimal geometry. We show that for each $s$ the higher Albanese manifold…

We consider categories of rational maps to algebraic groups and study existence and construction of universal objects for such categories, using the duality theory of Laumon 1-motives. In particular, we obtain functorial descriptions of the…

We classify by numerical invariants the finite subgroups $H$ of a primary abelian group $G$ for which every homomorphism or monomorphism of $H$ into $G$, or every endomorphism of $H$, extends to an endomorphism of $G$. We apply these…

We study the birational geometry of varieties of maximal Albanese dimension. In particular we discuss criteria for a generically finite morphism of varieties of maximal Albanese dimension to be birational; we give a new characterization of…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We give a birational characterization of ordinary abelian varieties over $k$: a smooth projective variety $X$ is birational to an ordinary abelian variety if and only if…

Let X be a smooth proper variety over a perfect field k of arbitrary characteristic. Let D be an effective divisor on X with multiplicity. We introduce an Albanese variety Alb(X, D) of X of modulus D as a higher dimensional analogon of the…

Hom-algebras are generalizations of algebras obtained using a twisting by a linear map. But there is a priori a freedom on where to twist. We enumerate here all the possible choices in the Lie and associative categories and study the…

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety. A surjective endomorphism $f:X\to X$ is int-amplified if $f^\ast L - L =H$ for some ample Cartier divisors $L$ and $H$. This is a generalization of the so-called polarized endomorphism which requires…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective variety such that the Albanese map of $X$ is generically finite onto its image. Here we study the so-called eventual $m$-paracanonical map of $X$ (when $m=1$ we also assume $\chi(K_X)>0$). We show that…

Let $X$ be a projective smooth surface over $\mathbb{C}$ with $H^2(\mathcal{O}_X)=0$. Let $M=M(L,\chi)$ be the moduli space of 1-dimensional semistable sheaves with determinant $\mathcal{O}_X(L)$ and Euler characteristic $\chi$. We have the…

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…

Three categories of algebras with morphisms generalising the usual set of algebra homomorphisms are described. The Sweedler product provides a hom-tensor equivalence relating these three categories, and a tool enabling the universal…

We characterize possible periodic subvarieties for surjective endomorphisms of complex abelian varieties in terms of the eigenvalues of the cohomological actions induced by the endomorphisms, extending previous work in this direction by…
