Let $X$ be an integral affine or projective scheme of finite presentation over a perfect field. We prove that $X$ admits a resolution, that is, there exists a smooth scheme $\widetilde X$ and a projective birational morphism from…

Let $X/\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a smooth geometrically connected variety. Inspired by work of Corlette-Simpson over $\mathbb{C}$, we formulate a conjecture that absolutely irreducible rank 2 local systems with infinite monodromy on $X$ come from…

The goal of this article is to prove that every surface with a regular point in the three-dimensional projective space of degree at least four, is of wild representation type under the condition that either $X$ is integral or…

We reduce the problem of the projective normality of polarized abelian varieties to check the rank of very explicit matrices. This allow us to prove some results on normal generation of primitive line bundles on abelian threefolds and…

Let $\pi\,:\, X \,\longrightarrow\, Y$ be a finite morphism of smooth projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We study the necessary and sufficient criteria for $\pi$ such that there exists a…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic and let $X$ be an irreducible projective variety over $K$. Let $G\subseteq\text{Bir}(X)$ be a bounded-degree subgroup. We prove that there exists an irreducible projective…

To a simplicial complex, we associate a square-free monomial ideal in the polynomial ring generated by its vertex set over a field. We study algebraic properties of this ideal via combinatorial properties of the simplicial complex. By…

Let $p\neq 2$, and let $R$ be a smooth affine algebra of dimension $3$ over $\overline{F}_p$ and $P, Q$ be projective $R$-modules of rank $2$, each with trivial determinant. We prove: $P$ is isomorphic to $Q$ if and only if there is an…

We show that any adjoint absolutely simple linear algebraic group over a field of characteristic zero is the automorphism group of some projector on a central simple algebra. Projective homogeneous varieties can be described in these terms;…

Sommese has conjectured a classification of smooth projective varieties X containing, as an ample divisor, a P^d-bundle Y over a smooth variety Z. This conjecture is known if d>1, if dim(X)<5, or if Z admits a finite morphism to an Abelian…

Let $E$ be the Whitney sum of complex line bundles over a topological space $X$. Then, the projectivization $P(E)$ of $E$ is called a \emph{projective bundle} over $X$. If $X$ is a non-singular complete toric variety, so is $P(E)$. In this…

Let G/Q be an homogeneous variety embedded in a projective space P thanks to an ample line bundle L. Take a projective space containing P and form the cone X over G/Q, we call this a cone over an homogeneous variety. Let $\alpha$ a class 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 A be an Azumaya algebra over a smooth projective variety X or more generally, a torsion free coherent sheaf of algebras over X whose generic fiber is a central simple algebra. We show that generically simple torsion free A-module…

We develop the theory of ``branch algebras'', which are infinite-dimensional associative algebras that are isomorphic, up to taking subrings of finite codimension, to a matrix ring over themselves. The main examples come from groups acting…

Let $X$ denote an equivariant embedding of a connected reductive group $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $B$ denote a Borel subgroup of $G$ and let $Z$ denote a $B \times B$-orbit closure in $X$. When the characteristic of $k$…

The endomorphism ring End(A) of an abelian variety A is an order in a semi-simple algebra over Q. The co-index of End(A) is the index to a maximal order containing it. We show that for abelian varieties of fixed dimension over any…

Let $W$ be a quasiprojective variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Assume that $W$ is birational to a product of a smooth projective variety $A$ and the projective line. We prove that if $A$ contains no rational…

Let $Y$ be a normal and projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $V$ a vector bundle over $Y$. We prove that if there exist a $k$-scheme $X$ and a finite surjective morphism $g:X\to Y$ that trivializes $V$ then $V$ is…

It is conjectured by de Jong that, if $X$ is a connected smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with trivial \'etale fundamental group, any isocrystal on on $X/W$ is trivial. We prove this…
