This is an update of the first version. We clarify that the main results apply to more general smooth projective varieties X than products of elliptic curves (briefly: X is of "abelian type", e.g. an abelian variety or a product of curves,…

It is well known that one can find a rational normal curve in $\mathbb P^n$ through $n+3$ general points. We prove a generalization of this to higher dimensional varieties, showing that smooth varieties of minimal degree can be interpolated…

Let $\operatorname{K}_0(\operatorname{Var}_k)$ denote the Grothendieck ring of $k$-varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$. Larsen and Lunts asked if two $k$-varieties having the same class in $\operatorname{K}_0…

We study a particular plane curve over a finite field whose normalization is of genus 0. The number of rational points of this curve achieves the Aubry-Perret bound for rational curves. The configuration of its rational points and a…

In [3], it is proved that the quotient of an abelian variety $A$ by a finite order automorphism $g$ is uniruled if and only if some power of $g$ satisfies a numerical condition $0<\age(g^k)<1$. In this paper, we show that $\age(g^k)=1$ is…

In this short note, we prove a comparision theorem between Levine-Serp\'e's equivariant higher Chow groups of an algebraic variety equipped with an action of a finite group and ordinary higher Chow groups of its fixed points. As a…

Let K be an algebraically closed field endowed with a complete non-archimedean norm. Let f:Y -> X be a map of K-affinoid varieties. We prove that for each point x in X, either f is flat at x, or there exists, at least locally around x, a…

We obtain a class of examples of non-rational adjoint classical groups of type $^2A_n$ and a group of type $^2D_3$ over the function field $F$ of a smooth geometrically integral curve over a $p$-adic field with $p \neq 2$. We also show that…

In this talk, I report on three theorems concerning algebraic varieties over a field of characteristic $p>0$. a) over a finite field of cardinal $q$, two proper smooth varieties which are geometrically birational have the same number of…

Given a perfect field $k$ with algebraic closure $\overline{k}$ and a variety $X$ over $\overline{k}$, the field of moduli of $X$ is the subfield of $\overline{k}$ of elements fixed by field automorphisms…

The Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for smooth complex varieties states that algebraic and topological K-theory with finite coefficients become isomorphic in high degrees. We define the "Lichtenbaum-Quillen dimension" of a variety in terms…

In this paper, we prove that any two birational projective varieties with finite quotient singularities can be realized as two geometric GIT quotients of a non-singular projective variety by a reductive algebraic group. Then, by applying…

We study a natural Hodge theoretic generalization of rational (or $\mathbb{Q}$-)homology manifolds through an invariant ${\rm HRH(Z)}$ where $Z$ is a complex algebraic variety. The defining property of this notion encodes the difference…

Let k be a complete, non-Archimedean field and let X be a k-analytic space ; assume that there exists a tamely ramified finite extension L/k such that X_L is isomorphic to an open polydisc over L ; we prove that X is itself isomorphic to an…

Let X be a projective cubic hypersurface of dimension 11 or more, which is defined over the rationals. In this paper it is shown that X contains rational points provided that the cubic form defining X can be written as the sum of two forms…

Let k be an algebraically closed subfield of the complex numbers, and X a variety defined over k. One version of the Beilinson-Hodge conjecture that seems to survive scrutiny is the statement that the Betti cycle class map cl_{r,m} :…

Let $X$ be a projective variety admitting a polarized (or more generally, int-amplified) endomorphism. We show: there are only finitely many contractible extremal rays; and when $X$ is $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial normal, every minimal model…

Let $k$ be an uncountable algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and let $S$ be a smooth projective connected surface over $k$. We extend the theorem on the Gysin kernel from [20, Theorem 5.1] to also be true over $k$, where…

A conjecture of Manin predicts the distribution of K-rational points on certain algebraic varieties defined over a number field K. In recent years, a method using universal torsors has been successfully applied to several hard special cases…

Let X be a normal connected complex algebraic variety equipped with a semisimple complex representation of its fundamental group. Then, under a maximality assumption, we prove that the covering space of X associated to the kernel of the…
