We study morphisms of schemes $f : X \to S$ which are locally of finite type. We present conditions under which there exists a morphism $g : S'\to X$ of $S$--schemes such that $f \circ g $ is the canonical morphism $S'\to S$. Furthermore,…

Let X/S be a quasi-projective morphism over an affine base. We develop in this article a technique for proving the existence of closed subschemes H/S of X/S with various favorable properties. We offer several applications of this technique,…

Let f : Y -> X be a morphism of complex projective manifolds, and let F be a subsheaf of the tangent bundle which is closed under the Lie bracket, but not necessarily a foliation. This short paper contains an elementary and very geometric…

This paper is concerned with a refinement of the Stein factorization, and with applications to the study of deformations of surjective morphisms. We show that every surjective morphism f:X->Y between normal projective varieties factors…

We show the surjectivity of a specialisation map on higher $(0,1)$-cycles for a smooth projective scheme over an excellent henselian discrete valuation ring. This gives evidence for a conjecture stated in an article of Kerz, Esnault and…

Let X be a projective smooth irreducible polarized variety over the field of complex numbers. Typical examples of wide extensions are vector bundles E that have a subsheaf F whose slope is much bigger than the slope of E/F, and such that F…

We describe a differential graded Lie algebra controlling infinitesimal deformations of triples $(X,\mathcal{F},\sigma)$, where $\mathcal{F}$ is a coherent sheaf on a smooth variety $X$ over a field of characteristic 0 and $\sigma\in…

If $X$ is a smooth scheme over a perfect field of characteristic $p$, and if $\sD_X$ is the sheaf of differential operators on $X$ [EGAIV], it is well known that giving an action of $\sD_X$ on an $\sO_X$-module $\sE$ is equivalent to giving…

Let S be a reduced scheme and let f: X--> S and g: Y-->S be faithfully flat morphisms locally of finite presentation with geometrically connected and geometrically reduced maximal fibers. We discuss the canonical maps…

Let $X$ be a closed subscheme embedded in a scheme $W$ smooth over a field ${\bf k}$ of characteristic zero, and let ${\mathcal I}(X)$ be the sheaf of ideals defining $X$. Assume that the set of regular points of $X$ is dense in $X$. We…

In this part of the series, we shall investigate Deligne-Mumford semistable reductions from the point of view of numerical invariants. As an application, we obtain two numerical criterions for a base change to be stabilizing, and for a…

We show that for every morphism f between nonsingular hypersurfaces of dimension at least 3 and of general type in projective space, there is an everywhere defined endomorphism F of projective space that restricts to f. As a corollary, we…

We consider diffeomorphisms $f$ with heteroclinic cycles associated to saddles $P$ and $Q$ of different indices. We say that a cycle of this type can be stabilized if there are diffeomorphisms close to $f$ with a robust cycle associated to…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective complex algebraic surface and $f\, :\, S\, \longrightarrow\, {\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^2$ a finite map. Consider a pencil of hyperplane sections on ${\mathbb C}{\mathbb P}^2$ and pull it back to $S$. We address…

For a proper, flat, generically smooth scheme $X$ over a complete DVR with finite residue field of characteristic $p$, we define a specialization morphism from the rigid cohomology of the geometric special fibre to $D_{crys}$ of the…

By a theorem of Chevalley the image of a morphism of varieties is a constructible set. The algebraic version of this fact is usually stated as a result on "extension of specializations" or "lifting of prime ideals". We present a difference…

Enhanced ind-sheaves provide a suitable framework for the irregular Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. In this paper, we give some precisions on nearby and vanishing cycles for enhanced perverse objects in dimension one. As an application, we…

Let $f : X -> B$ be a projective surjective morphism between quasi-projective varieties. The goal of this paper is the study of the Chow groups of $X$ in terms of the Chow groups of $B$ and of the fibers of $f$. One of the applications…

Let X be a complex algebraic variety, and L(X) be the scheme of formal arcs in X. Let f be an arc whose image is not contained in the singularities of X. We show that the formal neighborhood of f in L(X) admits a decomposition into a…

The paper has two parts. First we prove that the specialization maps on R-equivalence and on the Chow group of zero cycles are isomorphisms for families over a local, Henselian, Dedekind ring when the special fiber is smooth and separably…
