We determine the odd order torsion subgroup of the Brauer group of diagonal quartic surfaces over the field of rational numbers. We show that a non-constant Brauer element of odd order always obstructs weak approximation but never the Hasse…

In the present paper we describe topological obstructions to embedding of a (complex) matrix algebra bundle into a trivial one under some additional arithmetic condition on their dimensions. We explain a relation between this problem and…

Let $G$ be a smooth connected linear algebraic group and $X$ be a $G$-torsor. Totaro asked: if $X$ admits a zero-cycle of degree $d \geq 1$, then does $X$ have a closed \'etale point of degree dividing $d$? While the literature contains…

We study obstructions to the existence of Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature on closed smooth manifolds arising from torsion classes in the integral homology of their fundamental groups. As an application, we construct new…

We continue our study on smooth complex projective varieties $X$ of maximal Albanese dimension and of general type satisfying $\chi(X, \omega_X)=0$. We formulate a conjectural characterization of such varieties and prove this conjecture…

We develop two approaches to obstruction theory for deformations of derived isomorphism classes of complexes $Z^\bullet$ of modules for a profinite group $G$ over a complete local Noetherian ring $A$ of positive residue characteristic…

We use a randomised embedding method to prove that for all \alpha>0 any sufficiently large oriented graph G with minimum in-degree and out-degree \delta^+(G),\delta^-(G)\geq (3/8+\alpha)|G| contains every possible orientation of a Hamilton…

We give a presentation theorem for continuous first-order logic and Metric Abstract Elementary classes in terms of $L_{\omega_1, \omega}$ and Abstract Elementary Classes, respectively. This presentation is accomplished by analyzing dense…

In this paper we present families of wild 1-motives, i.e., families of pairwise non-isomorphic Deligne 1-motives, over rings of $S$-integers $\mathcal{O}_{F,S}$, which have the same reductions to torsion 1-motives for all $v\notin S$. Our…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex algebraic variety and let $\operatorname{Coh} (X)$ denote its Abelian category of coherent sheaves. By the work of W. Lowen and M. Van den Bergh, it is known that the deformation theory of $\operatorname{Coh}…

In this short note we extend some results obtained in \cite{Gazaki2015}. First, we prove that for an abelian variety $A$ with good ordinary reduction over a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with $p$ an odd prime, the Albanese kernel of…

Let X be a smooth variety over a field k, and l be a prime number invertible in k. We study the (\'etale) unramified H^3 of X with coefficients Q_l/Z_l(2) in the style of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Voisin. If k is separably closed, finite or…

We prove that torsion codimension 2 algebraic cycles modulo rational equivalence on supersingular abelian varieties are algebraically equivalent to zero. As a consequence, we prove that homological equivalence coincides with algebraic…

We consider embeddings in a torsion-free hyperbolic group which are elementary in the sense of first-order logic. We give a description of these embeddings in terms of Sela's hyperbolic towers. We deduce as a corollary that subgroups…

The main result established in this paper is the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to the obstacle problem for a class of subelliptic operators in non-divergence form. The operators considered are structured on a set of smooth…

We show how the notion of the transcendence degree of a zero-cycle on a smooth projective variety X is related to the structure of the motive M(X). This can be of particular interest in the context of Bloch's conjecture, especially for…

Many examples of obstruction theory can be formulated as the study of when a lift exists in a commutative square. Typically, one of the maps is a cofibration of some sort and the opposite map is a fibration, and there is a functorial…

We study the section conjecture of anabelian geometry and the sufficiency of the finite descent obstruction to the Hasse principle for the moduli spaces of principally polarized abelian varieties and of curves over number fields. For the…

Let A and B be normal matrices with coefficients that are continuous complex-valued functions on a topological space X that has the homotopy type of a CW complex, and suppose these matrices have the same distinct eigenvalues at each point…

For a smooth and geometrically irreducible variety X over a field k, the quotient of the absolute Galois group G_{k(X)} by the commutator subgroup of G_{\bar k(X)} projects onto G_k. We investigate the sections of this projection. We show…
