We give a complete answer to the local-global divisibility problem for algebraic tori. In particular, we prove that given an odd prime $p$, if $T$ is an algebraic torus of dimension $r< p-1$ defined over a number field $k$, then the…

If A/K is an abelian variety over a number field and P and Q are rational points, the original support conjecture asserted that if the order of Q (mod p) divides the order of P (mod p) for almost all primes p of K, then Q is obtained from P…

We prove that the higher Nash blowup of a normal toric variety defined over a field of positive characteristic is an isomorphism if and only if it is non-singular. We also extend a result by R. Toh-Yama which shows that higher Nash blowups…

We prove several statements about arithmetic hyperbolicity of certain blow-up varieties. As a corollary we obtain multiple examples of simply connected quasi-projective varieties that are pseudo-arithmetically hyperbolic. This generalizes…

This is a compilation of three separated studies. The main part (Part 3) deals with a unified Picard-Vessiot theory including Picard-Vessiot theories of differential and difference equations. Changes: [v1 -> v2] Corrected descriptions on…

The transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization theorem accommodates various types of power corrections. Among them, the least studied are qT/Q corrections, which become significant at large values of transverse momentum. These…

In the first part of the paper, we give an explicit algorithm to compute the (genus zero) Gromov-Witten invariants of blow-ups of an arbitrary convex projective variety in some points if one knows the Gromov-Witten invariants of the…

The purely log terminal blow-ups of three-dimensional terminal toric singularities are described.

We revisit the duality between type I' and heterotic strings in 9 dimensions. We resolve a puzzle about the validity of type I' perturbation theory and show that there are regions in moduli which are not within the reach of type I'…

The article `Global regularity for the 3D Navier-Stokes and the 3D Euler equations'(arXiv:0711.2453) is withdrawn due to a serious error in the proof.

The purpose of this paper is to give an explicit formula which allows one to compute the dimension of the cohomology groups of the sheaf $\Omega_{\P}^p(D)$ of p-th differential forms of Zariski twisted by an ample invertible sheaf on a…

In this paper we deduce the Lebesgue and the Knaster--Kuratowski--Mazurkiewicz theorems on the covering dimension, as well as their certain generalizations, from some simple facts of toric geometry. This provides a new point of view on this…

We withdraw this paper due to insufficient arguments in the derivation of Theorem 1. See quant-ph/0005062 for the new paper

Let C be a smooth curve on an index 1 terminal 3-fold. We investigate the existence of extremal terminal divisorial contractions Y-->X that contract an irreducible surface E to C. We consider cases in respect to the singularities of the…
