We prove a certain 'fat hyperplane section' Weak Lefschetz-type theorem for etale cohomology of non-projective varieties, similar to a result of Goresky and MacPherson (over complex numbers). This statement easily yields certain (vast)…
Topologically, compact toric varieties can be constructed as identification spaces: they are quotients of the product of a compact torus and the order complex of the fan. We give a detailed proof of this fact, extend it to the non-compact…
We present a number of combinatorial characterizations of K-matrices. This extends a theorem of Fiedler and Ptak on linear-algebraic characterizations of K-matrices to the setting of oriented matroids. Our proof is elementary and simplifies…
A simple definition of torsion theory is presented, as a factorization system with both classes satisfying the 3--for--2 property. Comparisons with the traditional notion are given, as well as connections with the notions of fibration and…
The Topological Representation Theorem for (oriented) matroids states that every (oriented) matroid can be realized as the intersection lattice of an arrangement of codimension one homotopy spheres on a homotopy sphere. In this paper, we…
We characterize embeddability of algebraic varieties into smooth toric varieties and prevarieties. Our embedding results hold also in an equivariant context and thus generalize a well known embedding theorem of Sumihiro on quasiprojective…
Given a semi-algebraic set S, we study compactifications of S that arise from embeddings into complete toric varieties. This makes it possible to describe the asymptotic growth of polynomial functions on S in terms of combinatorial data. We…
We treat equivariant completions of toric contraction morphisms as an application of the toric Mori theory. For this purpose, we generalize the toric Mori theory for non-$\mathbb Q$-factorial toric varieties. So, our theory seems to be…
We prove Weibel's conjecture for twisted $K$-theory when twisting by a smooth proper connective dg-algebra. Our main contribution is showing we can kill a negative twisted $K$-theory class using a projective birational morphism (in the same…
We describe an equivalent formulation of algebraic weak factorisation systems, not involving monads and comonads, but involving double categories of morphisms equipped with a lifting operation satisfying lifting and factorisation axioms.
We discuss connections of toroidal compactifications and Borel--Serre compactifications in view of the fundamental diagram of extended period domains. We give a complement to a work of Goresky--Tai.
We show that, in characteristic zero, the obvious integral version of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch formula obtained by clearing the denominators of the Todd and Chern characters is true (without having to divide the Chow groups by their…
We prove that a birational morphism of projective 3-folds, over a field of characteristic zero, can be made toroidal by performing a sequence of blow ups of points and nonsingular curves above the domain and target.
A $d$-dimensional invertible topological field theory is a functor from the symmetric monoidal $(\infty,n)$-category of $d$-bordisms (embedded into $\mathbb{R}^\infty$ and equipped with a tangential $(X,\xi)$-structure) which lands in the…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero carrying the trivial valuation. In this article we discuss two candidates for what could be the tropicalization of $G$. Our first…
Building upon previous works of Proudfoot and Ramos, and using the categorical framework of Sam and Snowden, we extend the weak categorical minor theorem from undirected graphs to quivers. As case of study, we investigate the consequences…
We construct an algebraic weak factorization system $(L, R)$ on the cartesian cubical sets, in which the canonical path object factorization $A \to A^I \to A\times A$ induced by the 1-cube $I$ is an $L$-$R$ factorization for any $R$-object…
We extend the model structure on the category $\mathbf{Cat}(\mathcal{E})$ of internal categories studied by Everaert, Kieboom and Van der Linden to an algebraic model structure. Moreover, we show that it restricts to the category of…
Schubert varieties of hyperplane arrangements, also known as matroid Schubert varieties, play an essential role in the proof of the Dowling-Wilson conjecture and in Kazhdan-Lusztig theory for matroids. We study these varieties as…
Waldhausen categories were introduced to extend algebraic $K$-theory beyond Quillen's exact categories. In this article, we modify Waldhausen's axioms so that it matches better with the theory of extriangulated categories, introducing a…
