A real semisimple Lie group G_0 embedded in its complexification G has only finitely many orbits in any G-fag manifold Z = G/Q. The complex geometry of its open orbits D (flag domains) is studied from the point of view of compact complex…
This paper investigates the distribution of non-rigid families in a moduli space $\mathcal{M}$ of polarized projective manifolds for which the infinitesimal Torelli theorem holds. Guided by the analogy with unlikely intersection in Shimura…
We prove that the intersection cohomology of the Baily-Borel compactification of a complex Shimura variety is identified with the top weight quotient of the mixed Hodge structure on the reductive Borel-Serre compactification. This yields…
Let $G$ be a reductive linear algebraic group. The simplest example of a projective homogeneous $G$-variety in characteristic $p$, not isomorphic to a flag variety, is the divisor $x_0 y_0^p+x_1 y_1^p+x_2 y_2^p=0$ in $P^2\times P^2$, which…
We prove a rigidity result for cocycles from higher rank lattices to $\mathrm{Out}(F_N)$ and more generally to the outer automorphism group of a torsion-free hyperbolic group. More precisely, let $G$ be either a product of connected higher…
Hierarchically hyperbolic spaces provide a common framework for studying mapping class groups of finite type surfaces, Teichm\"uller space, right-angled Artin groups, and many other cubical groups. Given such a space $\mathcal X$, we build…
We introduce a new topological invariant of complex line arrangements in the complex projective plane, derived from the interaction between their complement and the boundary of a regular neighbourhood. The motivation is to identify Zariski…
Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and let $\xi,\nu$ be complex vector bundles over the classifying space $BG$. The problem we consider is whether $\xi$ contains a subbundle which is isomorphic to $\nu$. The necessary condition is…
Making use of topological periodic cyclic homology, we extend Grothendieck's standard conjectures of type C and D (with respect to crystalline cohomology theory) from smooth projective schemes to smooth proper dg categories in the sense of…
We show that the axis bundle of a nongeometric fully irreducible outer automorphism admits a canonical "cubist" decomposition into branched cubes that fit together with special combinatorics. From this structure, we locate a canonical…
Let $G$ be a Polish group and let $H \leq G$ be a compact subgroup. We prove that there exists a Borel set $T \subset G$ which is simultaneously a complete set of coset representatives of left and right cosets, provided that a certain index…
In this article we use a theorem of Carlson and Griffiths and compute periods of linear algebraic cycles inside the Fermat variety of even dimension $n$ and degree $d$. As an application, for examples of $n$ and $d$ we prove that the locus…
We reprove and generalize the result that the intersection cohomology groups of a toric variety with coefficient in a nontrivial rank one local system vanish. We prove a similar vanishing result for a certain class of varieties on which a…
We show that every thick subcategory of the singularity category of a complete intersection ring is self dual. We also prove the analogous statement for thick subcategories of the bounded derived category and give applications to the…
This paper presents a gentle introduction to cohomology vanishing theorems, largely based on the paper work of Hongshan Li. It offers an insightful exploration of unitary local systems on complex manifolds, particularly focusing on their…
We prove that any arithmetically Gorenstein curve on a smooth, general hypersurface $X\subset \bbP^{4}$ of degree at least 6, is a complete intersection. This gives a characterisation of complete intersection curves on general type…
Inspired by the methods of Voisin, the first two authors recently proved that one could read off the gonality of a curve C from the syzygies of its ideal in any one embedding of sufficiently large degree. This was deduced from from a…
We complete the proof of the Nisnevich conjecture in equal characteristic: for a smooth algebraic variety $X$ over a field $k$, a $k$-smooth divisor $D \subset X$, and a reductive $X$-group $G$ whose base change $G_D$ is totally isotropic,…
For a finite group G and a finite G-CW-complex X, we construct groups H_\bullet(G,X) as the homology groups of the G-invariants of the cellular chain complex C_\bullet(X). These groups are related to the homology of the quotient space X/G…
We study the relationship between positivity of line bundles restricted to complete intersection subvarieties and the vanishing of higher cohomology groups. Based on this connection we prove generalizations of the vanishing theorems of…
