We show how a type of multi-Frobenius nonclassicality of a curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of characteristic $p$ reflects on the geometry of its strict dual curve. In particular, in such cases we may describe all the…

We determine the second fundamental form of a variation of Hodge Structure of a smooth projective hypersurface using the classical identification of the Hodge structure and the action of the infinitesimal variation of Hodge structure with…

Let F be a perfect field. Then the diagonal quadratic form $a_iX_i^2$ over $F$ is universal over $M_2(F)$ if and only if atleast two of the $a_i$ are non-zero.

In this work, we establish several results on distinguishing Siegel cusp forms of degree two. In particular, a Hecke eigenform of level one can be determined by its second Hecke eigenvalue under a certain assumption. Moreover, we can…

In this note, first we show that there is no stable quadratic polynomial over finite fields of characteristic two and then show that there exist stable quadratic polynomials over function fields of characteristic two.

Canonical matrices of (a) bilinear and sesquilinear forms, (b) pairs of forms, in which every form is symmetric or skew-symmetric, and (c) pairs of Hermitian forms are given over finite fields of characteristic not 2 and over finite…

We say that a field extension $L/F$ has the descent property for isometry (resp. similarity) of quadratic or symmetric bilinear forms if any two forms defined over $F$ that become isometric (resp. similar) over $L$ are already isometric…

We classify isomorphism types of unital commutative algebras of rank 7 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic not 2 or 3 completely.

This paper is a continuation of our study of non-abelian Baues-Wirsching cohomologies. In our previous paper, we defined second non-abelian cohomology H2(C;D) of a small category C with coefficients in a so-called centralised natural system…

We classify smooth surfaces whose higher cohomologies of i-forms for all i vanish. We show that if such a surface is not affine, then it has essentially two possibilities.

We construct canonical $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial Gorenstein affine fourfolds in every positive characteristic that are not quasi-$F$-split.

In this paper, we study Heisenberg vertex algebras over fields of prime characteristic. The new feature is that the Heisenberg vertex algebras are no longer simple unlike in the case of characteristic zero. We then study a family of simple…

We construct two abelian varieties over $\mathbb{Q}$ which are not isomorphic, but have isomorphic Mordell--Weil groups over every number field, isomorphic Tate modules and equal values for several other invariants.

We show that properties $F_n$ and $FP_n$ hold for a relatively hyperbolic group if and only if they hold for all the peripheral subgroups. As an application we show that there are at least countably many distinct quasi-isometry classes of…

For every absolutely irreducible orthogonal representation of a twisted form of SL2 over a field of characteristic zero, we compute the "unique" symmetric bilinear form that is invariant under the group action. We also prove the analogous…

The rational invariants of the SL_2(q)-invariant quadratic forms on the real irreducible representations are determined. There is still one open question (see Remark 6.5) if q is an even square.

We describe the ring of modular forms of degree 2 in characteristic 2 using its relation with curves of genus 2.

This text is the English translation of a 1986 manuscript which gives the classification of the differential forms parametrizing the finite-dimensional Lie algebras of hamiltonian and contact Cartan types over fields of positive…

A number field $k$ admits a binary integral quadratic form which represents all integers locally but not globally if and only if the class number of $k$ is bigger than one. In this case, there are only finitely many classes of such binary…

The isotropy of multiples of Pfister forms is studied. In particular, an improved lower bound on the value of their first Witt index is obtained. This result and certain of its corollaries are applied to the study of the weak isotropy index…
