An enumerative problem on a variety $V$ is usually solved by reduction to intersection theory in the cohomology of a compactification of $V$. However, if the problem is invariant under a "nice" group action on $V$ (so that $V$ is…

For every proper convex cone $K \subset \mathbb R^3$ there exists a unique complete hyperbolic affine 2-sphere with mean curvature $-1$ which is asymptotic to the boundary of the cone. Two cones are associated if the corresponding affine…

For a topologically complete space $X$ and a family of closed covers $\mathcal A$ of $X$ satisfying a "local refinement condition" and a "completeness condition," we give a construction of an inverse system $\mathbf{ N}_{\mathcal A}$ of…

Let F be a local field with finite residue field of characteristic p and k an algebraic closure of the residue field. Let G be the group of F-points of a F-split connected reductive group. In the apartment corresponding to a chosen maximal…

We give a topological description of the behaviour of Stokes matrices under the Fourier transform from infinity to infinity in a large number of cases of one level. This explicit, algorithmic statement is obtained by building on a recent…

Let X be a smooth algebraic variety over a field of characteristic 0. We introduce the notion of twisted associative (resp. Poisson) deformation of the structure sheaf O_X. These are stack-like versions of usual deformations. We prove that…

Nonsingular projective varieties which are both convex and rationally connected are considered. We ask whether such varieties must be algebraic homogeneous spaces G/P. In case X is a complete intersection, an affirmative answer is obtained…

Let $f: X \to Y$ be a regular covering of a surface $Y$ of finite type with nonempty boundary, with finitely-generated (possibly infinite) deck group $G$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integral homology class on $X$ to…

Let $X$ be a smooth proper scheme over an algebraically closed field $k$ in characteristic $p$. In this short note, by interpreting $\mathcal{D}_{X}$-modules as $F$-divided sheaves and establishing a cohomological boundedness property for…

Let $C$ be a complete, algebraically closed non-archimedean extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and $X$ be a proper rigid-analytic variety over $C$. We show that the category of pro-\'etale vector bundles on $X$ is equivalent to the category of…

Let $f:Y\to X$ be a finite morphism between Fano manifolds $Y$ and $X$ such that the Fano index of $X$ is greater than 1. On the one hand, when both $X$ and $Y$ are fourfolds of Picard number 1, we show that the degree of $f$ is bounded in…

We introduce the notion of cracked polytope, and - making use of joint work with Coates and Kasprzyk - construct the associated toric variety $X$ as a subvariety of a non-singular toric variety $Y$ under certain conditions. Restricting to…

We show that the limit, by rescaling, of the `new supersymmetric index' attached to the Fourier-Laplace transform of a polarized variation of Hodge structure on a punctured affine line is equal to the spectral polynomial attached to the…

In extension theory, in particular in dimension theory, it is frequently useful to represent a given compact metrizable space X as the limit of an inverse sequence of compact polyhedra. We are going to show that, for the purposes of…

Given a (singular, codimension 1) holomorphic foliation F on a complex projective manifold X, we study the group PsAut(X, F) of pseudo-automorphisms of X which preserve F ; more precisely, we seek sufficient conditions for a finite index…

By studying $\mathbb{A}^1$-curves on varieties, we propose a geometric approach to strong approximation problem over function fields of complex curves. We prove that strong approximation holds for smooth, low degree affine complete…

Let $Y$ be a normal and projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ and $V$ a vector bundle over $Y$. We prove that if there exist a $k$-scheme $X$ and a finite surjective morphism $g:X\to Y$ that trivializes $V$ then $V$ is…

Let $X$ be a differentiable manifold endowed with a transitive action $\alpha:A\times X\longrightarrow X$ of a Lie group $A$. Let $K$ be a Lie group. Under suitable technical assumptions, we give explicit classification theorems, in terms…

We study the equivalence of Poisson structures around a given symplectic leaf of nonzero dimension. Some criteria of Poisson equivalence are derived from a homotopy argument for coupling Poisson structures. In the case when the transverse…

Let $X$ be a proper CAT($0$) space and $G$ a cocompact group of isometries of $X$ without fixed point at infinity. We prove that if $\partial X$ contains an invariant subset of circumradius $\pi/2$, then $X$ contains a quasi-dense, closed…
