We prove that the derived category of a smooth complete intersection variety is equivalent to a full subcategory of the derived category of a smooth projective Fano variety. This enables us to define some new invariants of smooth projective…

Let B be a finite collection of geometric (not necessarily convex) bodies in the plane. Clearly, this class of geometric objects naturally generalizes the class of disks, lines, ellipsoids, and even convex polygons. We consider geometric…

We show that any finite set S in a characteristic zero integral domain can be mapped to the finite field of order p, for infinitely many primes p, preserving all algebraic incidences in S. This can be seen as a generalization of the…

Given a set of objects $O$ in the plane, the corresponding intersection graph is defined as follows. Each object defines a vertex and an edge joins two vertices whenever the corresponding objects intersect. We study here the case of unit…

Marco Buratti's conjecture states that if $p$ is a prime and $L$ a multiset containing $p-1$ non-zero elements from the integers modulo $p$, then there exists a Hamiltonian path in the complete graph of order $p$ with edge lengths in $L$.…

Let $K$ be the fraction field of a Henselian discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field $k$. In this article we give a sufficient criterion for a projective variety over such a field to have index $1$.

We prove a general likely intersections theorem, a counterpart to the Zilber-Pink conjectures, under the assumption that the Ax-Schanuel property and some mild additional conditions are known to hold for a given category of complex quotient…

In this paper, we provide a combinatorial characterization of those collections of cells whose inner $2$-minor ideals are complete intersections. More precisely, given a collection of cells $\mathcal C$ and its associated inner $2$-minor…

In this paper, plane polynomial systems having a singular point attracting all orbits in positive time are classified up to topological equivalence. This is done by assigning a combinatorial invariant to the system (a so-called "feasible…

We show that $\mathbb A^1$-connectedness of a large class of varieties over a field $k$ can be characterized as the condition that their generic point can be connected to a $k$-rational point using (not necessarily naive) $\mathbb…

We coin the term \emph{$T$-trivial varieties} to denote smooth proper schemes over ground fields $k$ whose tangent sheaf is free. Over the complex numbers, this are precisely the abelian varieties. However, Igusa observed that in…

It is well known that one can find a rational normal curve in $\mathbb P^n$ through $n+3$ general points. We prove a generalization of this to higher dimensional varieties, showing that smooth varieties of minimal degree can be interpolated…

Let X be a smooth proper variety over the quotient field of a Henselian discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field of characteristic p. We show that for any coherent sheaf E on X, the index of X divides the…

We show that if a universal theory is not monadically NIP, then this is witnessed by a canonical configuration defined by an existential formula. As a consequence, we show that a hereditary class of relational structures is NIP (resp.…

The tilting correspondence is a fundamental property of perfectoid fields. In this note, we show that the tilting construction can also be used to detect perfectoid fields among nonarchimedean fields. In particular, for $K$ a complete…

We establish improved finite field Szemeredi-Trotter and Beck type theorems. First we show that if P and L are a set of points and lines respectively in the plane F_p^2, with |P|,|L| \leq N and N<p, then there are at most C_1…

We show that an algebraic immediate valuation ring extension of characteristic $p>0$ is a filtered union of complete intersection algebras of finite type.

This article introduces the theory of Veronese polytopes, a broad generalisation of cyclic polytopes. These arise as convex hulls of points on curves with one or more connected components, obtained as the image of the rational normal curve…

Let $K$ be a global field and let $Z$ be a geometrically irreducible algebraic variety defined over $K$. We show that if a big set $S\subseteq Z$ of rational points of bounded height occupies few residue classes modulo $\mathfrak{p}$ for…

Given a sequence of positive integers $p = (p_1, . . ., p_n)$, let $S_p$ denote the family of all sequences of positive integers $x = (x_1,...,x_n)$ such that $x_i \le p_i$ for all $i$. Two families of sequences (or vectors), $A,B \subseteq…
