We establish a connection between continuous K-theory and integral cohomology of rigid spaces. Given a rigid analytic space over a complete discretely valued field, its continuous K-groups vanish in degrees below the negative of the…

We prove that a hyper-K\"ahler fourfold satisfying a mild topological assumption is of K3$^{[2]}$ deformation type. This proves in particular a conjecture of O'Grady stating that hyper-K\"ahler fourfolds of K3$^{[2]}$ numerical type are of…

We characterize the tight closure of graded primary ideals in a homogeneous coordinate ring over an elliptic curve by numerical conditions and we show that it is in positive characteristic the same as the plus closure.

Let $\cQ$ be a quiver and $K$ a field. We study the interrelationship of homological properties of algebras associated to convex subquivers of $\cQ$ and quotients of the path algebra $K\cQ$. We introduce the homological heart of $\cQ$ which…

In this paper we prove that over algebraically closed field $K$ of positive characteristic $\neq 2$ every automorphism of the group of origin-preserving automorphisms of the polynomial algebra $K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ ($n>3$) which fixes every…

We prove that the theory of differentially closed fields of characteristic zero in $m\geq 1$ commuting derivations DCF$_{0,m}$ satisfies the expected form of the dichotomy. Namely, any minimal type is either locally modular or nonorthogonal…

Let $R$ be a (commutative Noetherian) local ring of prime characteristic that is $F$-pure. This paper studies a certain finite set ${\mathcal I}$ of radical ideals of $R$ that is naturally defined by the injective envelope of the simple…

We study how solid closure in mixed characteristic behaves after taking ultraproducts. The ultraproduct will be chosen so that we land in equal characteristic, and therefore can make a comparison with tight closure. As a corollary we get an…

The purpose of this paper is to verify a conjecture of Gross under mild hypothesis: all reduced, separated, and excellent schemes have the resolution property away from a closed subset of codimension at least three. Our technique uses…

For a closed PL manifold M, we consider the configuration space F(M,k) of ordered k-tuples of distinct points in M. We show that a suitable iterated suspension of F(M,k) is a homotopy invariant of M. The number of suspensions we require…

We develop techniques for computing the AK invariant of domains with arbitrary characteristic. As an example, we show that for any field $K$ the ring $K[X,Y,Z,T] / (X + X^2 Y + Z^2 + T^3)$ is not isomorphic to a polynomial ring over $K$.

We consider closure properties in the class of positively decreasing distributions. Our results stem from different types of dependence, but each type belongs in the family of asymptotically independent dependence structure. Namely we…

Given a subset S of R^n, let c(S,k) be the smallest number t such that whenever finitely many convex sets have exactly k common points in S, there exist at most t of these sets that already have exactly k common points in S. For S = Z^n,…

For Y a closed normal subvariety of codimension c of a smooth complex variety X, Brylinski and Kashiwara showed that the local cohomology module H^c_Y(X,O_X) contains a unique simple D_X-submodule, denoted by L(Y,X). In this paper the…

We examine functorial and homotopy properties of the exotic characteristic homomorphism in the category of Lie algebroids which was lastly obtained by the authors in [4]. This homomorphism depends on a triple (A,B,$\nabla$) where B…

We formulate problems of tight closure theory in terms of projective bundles and subbundles. This provides a geometric interpretation of such problems and allows us to apply intersection theory to them. This yields new results concerning…

We prove that for any field k of characteristic p>0, any separated scheme X of finite type over k, and any overconvergent F-isocrystal E over X, the rigid cohomology H^i(X, E) and rigid cohomology with compact supports H^i_c(X,E) are finite…

It is an important question in string compactification whether complex structure moduli stabilization inevitably ends up with a vacuum expectation value of the superpotential < W > of the order of the Planck scale cubed. Any thoughts on…

We show that every proper, dense ideal in a C*-algebra is contained in a prime ideal. It follows that a subset generates a C*-algebra as a not necessarily closed ideal if and only if it is not contained in any prime ideal. This allows us to…

It has recently been pointed out that simple scaling properties of Polyakov correlation functions of gauge systems in the confining phase suggest that the ratios of k-string tensions in the low temperature region is constant up to terms of…
