This text is devoted to the systematic study of relative properties in the context of Berkovich analytic spaces. We first develop a theory of flatness in this setting. After having shown through a counter-example that naive flatness cannot…

All spaces below are Tychonov. We define the projective pi-character p(X) of a space X as the supremum of the values $\pi\chi(Y)$ where Y ranges over all continuous images of X. Our main result says that every space X has a pi-base whose…

Consider the Grassmann graph formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space over the field of $q$ elements ($1<k<n-1$) and denote by $\Pi(n,k)_q$ the restriction of this graph to the set of projective $[n,k]_q$…

Just as a residue field can be considered for a point of an algebraic variety, we can also consider a residue field for a point of a Berkovich analytic space. This residue field is a valuation field in the algebraic sense. Then we can…

This small note contains some easy examples of quartic hypersurfaces that have finite-dimensional motive. As an illustration, we verify a conjecture of Voevodsky (concerning smash-equivalence) for some of these special quartics.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and let f be a morphism of smooth projective varieties from X to Y over the ring k((t)) of formal Laurent series. We prove that if a general geometric fiber of f is rationally…

Since the end of the 19th century, and after the works of F. Klein and H. Poincar\'e, it is well known that models of elliptic geometry and hyperbolic geometry can be given using projective geometry, and that Euclidean geometry can be seen…

Let $K$ be a perfect field and let $k \subset K$ be a subfield. In previous work of the second author and C. Pappacena, left finite dimensional simple two-sided $k$-central vector spaces over $K$ were classified by arithmetic data…

The coordinate projective line over a field is seen as a groupoid with a further `projection' structure. We investigate conversely to what extent such an, abstractly given, groupoid may be coordinatized by a suitable field constructed out…

In functional analysis there are several reasonable approaches to the notion of a projective module. We show that a certain general-categorical framework contains, as particular cases, all known versions. In this scheme, the notion of a…

The main object of the proposed theory is not a pseudometric, but a symmetric affine connection on the Minkowski space. The coefficients of this connection have one upper and two lower indices. These coefficients are symmetric with respect…

In this article we use techniques developed by Hrushovski-Loeser to study certain metric properties of the Berkovich analytification of a finite morphism of smooth connected projective curves. In recent work, M. Temkin proved a radiality…

We develop properties of unramified, \'etale and smooth morphisms between Berkovich spaces over $\mathbb{Z}$. We prove that they satisfy properties analogous to those of morphisms of schemes and we provide analytification criteria. Our…

The first part of these notes gives an introduction to noncommutative projective geometry after Artin--Zhang. The second part provides an overview of the work of Polishchuk that reconciles noncommutative two-tori having real multiplication…

A field with an absolute value function is a basic type of metric space, which includes the real and complex numbers with their standard metrics, and ultrametrics on fields like the p-adic numbers. Here we try to give some perspectives of…

This text is aimed at undergraduates, or anyone else who enjoys thinking about shapes and numbers. The goal is to encourage the student to think deeply about seemingly simple things. The main objects of study are lines, squares, and the…

In this article we consider surfaces in the product space $\h^2\times \r$ of the hyperbolic plane $\h^2$ with the real line. The main results are: a description of some geometric properties of minimal graphs; new examples of complete…

We review some basic concepts related to convex real projective structures from the differential geometry point of view. We start by recalling a Riemannian metric which originates in the study of affine spheres using the Blaschke connection…

Treatises about General Topology that emphasize the notion of uniformity and uniform space find, of course, no difficulty in defining the notion of a complete uniform space and in constructing the completion of a metric space, via its…

Based on the simple and well understood concept of subfields in a finite field, the technique called `field reduction' has proved to be a very useful and powerful tool in finite geometry. In this paper we elaborate on this technique. Field…
