We prove an extended Lefschetz principle for a large class of pencils of hypersurfaces having isolated singularities, possibly in the axis, and show that the module of vanishing cycles is generated by the images of certain variation maps.

The aim of this paper is to study the modified diagonal cycle in the triple product of a curve over a global field defined by Gross and Schoen. Our main result is an identity between the height of this cycle and the self-intersection of the…

A variety X over a field K is of Hilbert type if the set of rational points X(K) is not thin. We prove that if f: X\to S is a dominant morphism of K-varieties and both S and all fibers f^{-1}(s), s in S(K), are of Hilbert type, then so is…

For each pair of complex symmetric matrices $(A,B)$ we provide a normal form with a minimal number of independent parameters, to which all pairs of complex symmetric matrices $(\widetilde{A},\widetilde{B})$, close to $(A,B)$ can be reduced…

In this article we find an upper and lower bound for the slope of genus g hyperelliptic Lefschetz fibrations, which is sharp when g = 2, and demonstrate the strong connection, in general, between the slope of hyperelliptic genus g Lefschetz…

Let $f: X\to X$ be a surjective endomorphism of a projective variety of dimension $d$. The aim of this paper is to study the action of $f$ on the numerical group of divisors. For exmaple, I proved that $f$ is cohomologically hyperbolic if…

Suppose that f is a projective birational morphism with at most one-dimensional fibres between d-dimensional varieties X and Y, satisfying ${\bf R}f_* \mathcal{O}_X = \mathcal{O}_Y$. Consider the locus L in Y over which f is not an…

We introduce an invariant, associated to a coherent sheaf over a projective morphism of schemes, which controls when sheaf cohomology can be passed through the given morphism. We then use this invariant to estimate the stability indexes of…

We study relatively affine actions of a diagonalizable group $G$ on locally noetherian schemes. In particular, we generalize Luna's fundamental lemma when applied to a diagonalizable group: we obtain criteria for a $G$-equivariant morphism…

We give a proof avoiding spectral sequences of Deligne's decomposition theorem for objects in a triangulated category admitting a Lefschetz homomorphism.

If $S$ is a scheme of characteristic $p$, we define an $F$-zip over $S$ to be a vector bundle with two filtrations plus a collection of semi-linear isomorphisms between the graded pieces of the filtrations. For every smooth proper morphism…

V.I. Arnold [Russian Math. Surveys 26(2) (1971) 29-43] constructed miniversal deformations of square complex matrices under similarity. Reduction transformations to them and also to miniversal deformations of matrix pencils and matrices…

Let $k$ be a field, $X$ a connected scheme proper over $k$, $D\subsetneq X$ an ample effective connected divisor, $x\in D(k)$. For Tannakian categories $\mathcal{C}_X$ and $\mathcal{C}_D$ whose objects consist of vector bundles on $X$ and…

Complete eigenstructure, e.g., eigenvalues with multiplicities and minimal indices, of a skew-symmetric matrix pencil may change drastically if the matrix coefficients of the pencil are subjected to (even small) perturbations. These changes…

We show that the weakly \'etale morphisms, used to define the pro-\'etale site of a scheme, are characterized by a lifting property similar to the one which characterizes formally \'etale morphisms. In order to prove this, we prove a…

Following Serre's initial work, a number of authors have considered twists of quadratic forms on a scheme Y by torsors of a finite group G, together with formulas for the Hasse-Witt invariants of the twisted form. In this paper we take the…

It is well-known that DG-enhancements of D(QCoh(X)) are all equivalent to each other, see [23]. Here we present an explicit model which leads to applications in deformation theory. In particular, we shall describe three models for derived…

We study when a smooth variety $X$, embedded diagonally in its Cartesian square, is the zero scheme of a section of a vector bundle of rank $\dim(X)$ on $X\times X$. We call this the diagonal property (D). It was known that it holds for all…

The perennial formalism is applied to the real, massive Klein-Gordon field on a globally-hyperbolic background space-time with compact Cauchy hypersurfaces. The parametrized form of this system is taken over from the accompanying paper. Two…
