The deformation theory of ordinary representations of the absolute Galois groups of totally real number fields (over a finite field $k$) has been studied for a long time, starting with the work of Hida, Mazur and Tilouine, and continued by…
Work of Gonz\'alez, Hering, Payne, and S\"uss shows that it is possible to find both examples and non-examples of Mori dream spaces among projectivized toric vector bundles. This result, and the combinatorial nature of the data of…
A conjecture of Colliot-Th\'{e}l\`{e}ne predicts that for a smooth projective variety $X$ over a finite extension $k$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ the kernel of the Albanese map $\text{CH}_0(X)^{\text{deg}=0}\to Alb_X(k)$ is the direct sum of a…
We consider standard graded toric rings $R_{\Delta}$ whose generators correspond to the faces of a simplicial complex $\Delta$. When $R_{\Delta}$ is normal, it is shown that its divisor class group is free. For a flag complex $\Delta$ which…
We define a quasi--projective reduction of a complex algebraic variety $X$ to be a regular map from $X$ to a quasi--projective variety that is universal with respect to regular maps from $X$ to quasi--projective varieties. A toric…
We construct a full, strongly exceptional collection of line bundles on the variety X that is the blow up of the projectivization of the vector bundle O_{P^{n-1}}\oplus O_{P^{n-1}}(b) along a linear space of dimension n-2, where b is a…
Let X be a quasi-compact scheme, equipped with an open covering by affine schemes. A quasi-coherent sheaf on X gives rise, by taking sections over the covering sets, to a diagram of modules over the various coordinate rings. The resulting…
In this short note, we investigate the existence of orbifold K\"ahler-Einstein metrics on toric varieties. In particular, we show that every $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial normal projective toric variety allows an orbifold K\"ahler-Einstein metric.…
Given a relative faithfully flat pointed scheme over the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring $X \to S$ this paper is motivated by the study of the natural morphism from the fundamental group scheme of the generic fiber $X_\eta $ to the…
Soit $X$ une vari\'et\'e projective et lisse, d\'efinie sur un corps de nombres. Sous l'hypoth\`ese $H^2(X,\mathcal O_X)=0,$ Colliot-Th\'el\`ene et Raskind ont d\'emontr\'e que le sous-groupe de torsion $CH^2(X)_{tors}$ du groupe de Chow en…
Let $\mathcal{V}$ be a complete discrete valuation ring of unequal characteristic with perfect residue field, $u\colon \mathcal{Z} \hookrightarrow \mathfrak{X}$ be a closed immersion of smooth, quasi-compact, separated formal schemes over…
Real toric manifolds are the real loci of nonsingular complete toric varieties. In this paper, we calculate the integral cohomology groups of real toric manifolds in terms of the combinatorial data contained in the underlying simplicial…
A $\mathbf{Q}$-Cartier divisor $D$ on a projective variety $M$ is {\it almost nup}, if $(D , C) > 0$ for every very general curve $C$ on $M$. An algebraic variety $X$ is of {\it almost general type}, if there exists a projective variety $M$…
Let $X$ be a four-dimensional projective variety defined over the field of complex numbers with only terminal singularities. We prove that if the intersection number of the canonical divisor $K$ with every very general curve is positive…
We associate to a projective $n$-dimensional toric variety $X_{\Delta}$ a pair of co-commutative (but generally non-commutative) Hopf algebras $H^{\alpha}_X, H^{T}_X$. These arise as Hall algebras of certain categories $\Coh^{\alpha}(X),…
Let X^{circ} be the space of all labeled tetrahedra in P^{3}. In [BGS] we constructed a smooth symmetric compactification X-tilde of X^{circ}. In this article we show that the complement X-tilde smallsetminus X^{circ} is a divisor with…
Let X be a Mori dream space together with an effective torus action of complexity one. In this note, we construct a polyhedral divisor on a suitable covering of the projective line P^1 which corresponds to the affine spectrum of the Cox…

A spectral set in R^n is a set X of finite Lebesgue measure such that L^2(X) has an orthogonal basis of exponentials. It is conjectured that every spectral set tiles R^n by translations. A set of translations T has a universal spectrum if…
