We interpret a result of S. Oehms as a statement about the symplectic ideal. We use this result to prove a double centraliser theorem for the symplectic group acting on \bigoplus_{r=0}^s\otimes^rV, where V is the natural module for the…

Let X be a smooth complex projective surface. We prove that for any sufficiently big m there exists a rational dominant map f from X into a complex rational ruled surface Y, such that f is generically finite of degree m and has monodromy…

Let p be a prime number and M a quadratic number field, M not equal to Q(\sqrt{p}) if p is congruent to 1 modulo 4. We will prove that for any positive integer d there exists a Galois extension F/Q with Galois group D_{2p} and an elliptic…

Let $\mathrm{G}$ be a symplectic or a split orthogonal group over a local non-archimedean field $\mathrm{F}$. A prime $\ell$ is called banal with respect to $\mathrm{G}$ if it does not divide the cardinality of the $k$-points of…

An l-group G is an abelian group equipped with a translation invariant lattice order. Baker and Beynon proved that G is finitely generated projective iff it is finitely presented. A unital l-group is an l-group G with a distinguished order…

Given a poset $P$ with at least two elements and a group $G$, there exists a selfdual lattice of length 16 such that the collection of its principal congruences is order isomorphic to $P$ while its automorphism group to $G$.

Let $G$ be a reductive group, and let $X$ be a smooth quasi-projective complex variety. We prove that any $G$-irreducible, $G$-cohomologically rigid local system on $X$ with finite order abelianization and quasi-unipotent local monodromies…

We study the algebraic monodromy of families of cyclic Galois coverings of curves. Under a condition on the $G$-decomposition of the associated variation of Hodge structures, we prove a criterion for the maximality of the monodromy. The…

We study fillings of contact structures supported by planar open books by analyzing positive factorizations of their monodromy. Our method is based on Wendl's theorem on symplectic fillings of planar open books. We prove that every…

We give an example of a Teichm\"uller curve which contains, in a factor of its monodromy, a group which was not observed before. Namely, it has Zariski closure equal to the group $SO^*(6)$ in its standard representation; up to finite index,…

In this article, we show that if $X$ is an excellent surface with rational singularities, the constant sheaf $\mathbb{Q}_{\ell}$ is a dualizing complex. In coefficient $\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}$, we also prove that the obstruction for…

We construct the compatible system of $l$-adic representations associated to a regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representation of $GL_n$ over a CM (or totally real) field and check local-global compatibility for the $l$-adic…

Let $\Omega$ be a convex open set in $\mathbb R^n$ and let $\Lambda_k$ be a finite subset of $\Omega$. We find necessary geometric conditions for $\Lambda_k$ to be interpolating for the space of multivariate polynomials of degree at most…

Let $\mathcal{M}_{n,2n+2}$ be the coarse moduli space of CY manifolds arising from a crepant resolution of double covers of $\mathbb{P}^n$ branched along $2n+2$ hyperplanes in general position. We show that the monodromy group of a good…

We show that the kernel of the monodromy representation for hypersurfaces of degree d and dimension n is large for d at least three with the exception of the cases (d,n) = (3,0) and (3,1). For these the kernel is finite. By "large" we mean…

Let $K[HK_{\Theta}]$ denote the Hecke-Kiselman algebra of a finite oriented graph $\Theta$ over an algebraically closed field $K$. All irreducible representations, and the corresponding maximal ideals of $K[HK_{\Theta}]$, are characterized…

Taylor-Wiles type lifting theorems allow one to deduce that for $\rho$ a "sufficiently nice" $l$-adic representation of the absolute Galois group of a number field whose semi-simplified reduction modulo $l$, denoted $\overline{\rho}$, comes…

We prove that if a subset of the d-dimensional vector space over a finite field is large enough, then it contains many k-tuples of mutually orthogonal vectors.

Let $X$ be a smooth, separated, geometrically connected scheme defined over a number field $K$ and $\{\rho_\lambda\}_\lambda$ a system of n-dimensional semisimple $\lambda$-adic representations of the \'etale fundamental group of $X$ such…

The strong symmetric genus of a group is the smallest genus of a surface on which the group acts faithfully as a group of orientation preserving automorphisms. In this paper we announce and prove the strong symmetric genus for the…
