For any orbifold M, we explicitly construct a simplicial complex S(M) from a given triangulation of the `coarse' underlying space together with the local isotropy groups of M. We prove that, for any local system on M, this complex S(M) has…

Let X be a smooth separated geometrically connected variety over F_q and f:Y-> X a smooth projective morphism. We compare the invariant dimensions of the l-adic representation V_l and the F_l-representation \bar V_l of the geometric \'etale…

For any topological groupoid G and any homomorphism from a locally compact Hausdorff topological group K to G, we construct an associated monodromy group. We prove that Morita equivalent topological groupoids have the same monodromy groups.…

In this paper we prove that for any connected reductive algebraic group G and a large enough prime $l$, there are continuous homomorphisms $$\mathrm{Gal}(\bar\mathbb Q/\mathbb Q) \to G(\bar\mathbb Q_l)$$ with Zariski-dense image, in…

A group is known as `large' if some finite index subgroup admits a surjective homomorphism onto a non-abelian free group. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a finitely presented group to be large, in terms of…

Let $\mathcal{A}_g$ be the moduli space over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of $g$-dimensional principally polarised abelian varieties, where $p$ is a prime. We show that if $g$ is even and $p\geq 5$, then every geometric generic member in the…

For a composition $f=f_1\circ\cdots \circ f_r$ of polynomials $f_i\in \mathbb Q[x]$ of degrees $d_i\geq 5$ with alternating or symmetric monodromy group, we show that the monodromy group of $f$ contains the iterated wreath product…

Given two semistable, non potentially isotrivial elliptic surfaces over a curve $C$ defined over a field of characteristic zero or finitely generated over its prime field, we show that any compatible family of effective isometries of the…

We study compatible families of four-dimensional Galois representations constructed in the \'{e}tale cohomology of a smooth projective variety. We prove a theorem asserting that the images will be generically large if certain conditions are…

We study symplectic properties of monodromy map for second order linear equation with meromorphic potential having only simple poles on a Riemann surface. We show that the canonical symplectic structure on the cotangent bundle $T^*M_{g,n}$…

Let H be a homology theory for algebraic varieties over a field k. To a complete k-variety X, one naturally attaches an ideal of the coefficient ring H(k). We show that, when X is regular, this ideal depends only on the upper Chow motive of…

Suppose that the adjusted Brill-Noether number is zero, we prove that there exists a family of twice-marked smooth projective curves such that the family of linear series with two imposed ramification conditions is irreducible. Moreover,…

Let $E$ be an abelian scheme over a geometrically connected variety $X$ defined over $k$, a finitely generated field over $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $\eta$ be the generic point of $X$ and $x\in X$ a closed point. If $\mathfrak{g}_l$ and…

Given an arrangement of hyperplanes in $\P^n$, possibly with non-normal crossings, we give a vanishing lemma for the cohomology of the sheaf of $q$-forms with logarithmic poles along our arrangement. We give a basis for the ideal $\cal J$…

We prove an automatic convergence theorem for holomorphic modular forms on tube domains. The argument works in some generality, and covers in particular the case of orthogonal groups, symplectic groups, unitary and quaternion unitary…

Suppose $\ell$ is a prime number, $\ell >3$, $K$ is a field that is an unramified finite extension of the field $\Q_\ell$ of $\ell$-adic numbers, and $G$ is a finite group that is a semi-direct product of a normal $\ell'$-subgroup $H$ and a…

We study manifolds endowed with an (almost) even Clifford (hermitian) structure and admitting a large automorphism group. We classify them when they are simply connected and the dimension of the automorphism group is maximal, and also prove…

The symplectomorphism group of a 2-dimensional surface is homotopy equivalent to the orbit of a filling system of curves. We give a generalization of this statement to dimension 4. The filling system of curves is replaced by a decomposition…

Let $K\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be a self-similar set generated by an iterated function system $\{\varphi_i\}_{i=1}^m$ satisfying the strong separation condition and let $f$ be a contracting similitude with $f(K)\subset K$. We show that $f(K)$…
