One version of the classical Lefschetz hyperplane theorem states that for $U \subset \mathbb P^n$ a smooth quasi-projective variety of dimension at least $2$, and $H \cap U$ a general hyperplane section, the resulting map on \'etale…

We formulate a concrete geometric approximation hypothesis (Hypothesis~BB) asserting that codimension-$2$ Hodge classes on a smooth projective threefold can be realized as specializations of families whose general members are…

We introduce a framework to prove integral rigidity results for the Seiberg-Witten invariants of a closed $4$-manifold $X$ containing a non-separating hypersurface $Y$ satisfying suitable (chain-level) Floer theoretic conditions. As a…

We give the first examples of nef line bundles on smooth projective varieties over finite fields which are not semi-ample. More concretely, we find smooth curves on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields such that the normal bundle…

We show that interval partition functions (transition amplitudes) of three-dimensional $N = 2$ theories admit factorizations into sums of products of hemisphere partition functions with additional normalization factors. We prove the…

We enumerate factorizations of a Coxeter element in a well generated complex reflection group into arbitrary factors, keeping track of the fixed space dimension of each factor. In the infinite families of generalized permutations, our…

Kontsevich constructed a map between `good' graph cocycles $\gamma$ and infinitesimal deformations of Poisson bivectors on affine manifolds, that is, Poisson cocycles in the second Lichnerowicz--Poisson cohomology. For the tetrahedral graph…

For the universal family of cyclic covers of projective spaces branched along hyperplane arrangements in general position, we consider its monodromy group acting on an eigen linear subspace of the middle cohomology of the fiber. We prove…

We prove that a Noetherian ring $R$ is a splinter if and only if for every equidimensional surjective morphism $\operatorname{Spec}(S) \to \operatorname{Spec}(R)$, the map $R \to S$ is pure. This yields a large, nontrivial class of ring…

We investigate the high energy behavior of the SU(N) chiral Gross-Neveu model in 1 + 1 dimensions. The model is integrable and matrix elements of several local operators (form factors) are known exactly. The form factors show rapidity space…

We construct a pairing, which we call factorization homology, between framed manifolds and higher categories. The essential geometric notion is that of a vari-framing of a stratified manifold, which is a framing on each stratum together…

In this note we are going to prove that if we have a fibration of smooth projective varieties $X\to S$ over a surface $S$ such that $X$ is of dimension four and that the geometric generic fiber has finite dimensional motive and the first…

We provide a framework for the study of structured manifolds with singularities and their locally determined invariants. This generalizes factorization homology, or topological chiral homology, to the setting of singular manifolds equipped…

A complex manifold $X$ of dimension $n$ together with an ample vector bundle $E$ on it will be called a {\sf generalized polarized variety}. The adjoint bundle of the pair $(X,E)$ is the line bundle $K_X + det(E)$. We study the positivity…

We consider the problem of when one quandle homomorphism will factor through another, restricting our attention to the case where all quandles involved are connected. We provide a complete solution to the problem for surjective quandle…

Let $G = \mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{C})$, let $B$ be a fixed Borel subgroup, and let $P \supset B$ be a parabolic subgroup determined by a composition $(c_1,\dots,c_k)$ of $n$. Write $P'$ for the derived group of $P$ and $\mathfrak{m}$ for the…

Let X be the toric scheme over a ring R associated with a fan Sigma. It is shown that there are a group B, a B-graded R-algebra S and a graded ideal I of S such that there is an essentially surjective, exact functor ~ from the category of…

We prove the optimal Noether-Severi inequality that $\mathrm{vol}(X) \ge \frac{4}{3} \chi(\omega_{X})$ for all smooth and irregular $3$-folds $X$ of general type over $\mathbb{C}$. For those $3$-folds $X$ attaining the equality, we…

Let $X\subset \mathbb P^r$ be a projective factorial variety of dimension $3$, degree $n$, with at worst isolated singularities. Assume that the Picard group of $X$ is generated by the hyperplane section class. Let $C\subset X$ be a…

Let $X$ be a connected scheme, smooth and separated over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p\geq 0$, let $f:Y\rightarrow X$ be a smooth proper morphism and $x$ a geometric point on $X$. We prove that the tensor invariants…
