We introduce a 1-cocycle on the group of diffeomorphisms Diff$(M)$ of a smooth manifold $M$ endowed with a projective connection. This cocycle represents a nontrivial cohomology class of $\Diff(M)$ related to the Diff$(M)$-modules of second…

Fix a smooth projective family of curves $C \to S$ and a split reductive group scheme $G$ over a Noetherian base scheme $S$. For any (possibly nonreduced) fixed relative Cartier divisor $D$, we provide a treatment of the moduli of…

Given an effective Cartier divisor D with simple normal crossing support on a smooth and proper scheme X over a perfect field of positive characteristic p, there is a natural notion of de Rham-Witt sheaves on X with zeros along D. We show…

We prove that the projectors arising from the decomposition theorem applied to a projective map of quasi projective varieties are absolute Hodge, Andr\'e motivated, Tate and Ogus classes. As a by-product, we introduce, in characteristic…

We prove that Schur classes of nef vector bundles are limits of classes that have a property analogous to the Hodge-Riemann bilinear relations. We give a number of applications, including (1) new log-concavity statements about…

Call a normal complex projective variety $X$ Koll\'ar-hyperbolic if any nonconstant map from a smooth projective curve to $X$ induces a nontrivial homomorphism of \'etale fundamental groups. Examples include (a) smooth varieties with finite…

We consider all complex projective manifolds X that satisfy at least one of the following three conditions: 1. There exists a pair $(C ,\varphi)$, where $C$ is a compact connected Riemann surface and $\varphi : C\to X$ a holomorphic map,…

We formulate a tropical analogue of Grothendieck's section conjecture: that for every stable graph G of genus g>2, and every field k, the generic curve with reduction type G over k satisfies the section conjecture. We prove many cases of…

In this mostly expository paper we review several known results about the cohomology of moduli spaces of smooth and stable curves, focusing in particular on low degree cohomology. We also give a new proof of Harer's theorem describing the…

Let $k$ be a field, $X$ a connected scheme proper over $k$, $D\subsetneq X$ an ample effective connected divisor, $x\in D(k)$. For Tannakian categories $\mathcal{C}_X$ and $\mathcal{C}_D$ whose objects consist of vector bundles on $X$ and…

We show that isomorphism classes $[\mathcal{A}]$ of flat $q\times q$ matrix bundles $\mathcal{A}$ (or projectively flat rank-$q$ complex vector bundles $\mathcal{E}$) on a pro-torus $\mathbb{T}$ are in bijective correspondence with the…

We introduce and develop the theory of Newton nondegenerate local Weil divisors $(X,0)$ in toric affine varieties. We characterize in terms of the toric combinatorics of the Newton diagram different properties of such singular germs:…

We give the first examples of smooth projective varieties $X$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$ admitting a non-algebraic torsion $\ell$-adic cohomology class of degree $4$ which vanishes over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}$. We use them to show…

We study the image of the Hodge-Tate logarithm map (in any cohomological degree), defined by Heuer, in the case of smooth Stein varieties. Heuer, motivated by the computations for the affine space of any dimension, raised the question…

Let $X$ be a projective manifold. Let $Y_1,...,Y_{p+1}$ be $p+1$ ample hypersurfaces in complete intersection position on $X$, each defined by the global section of an ample Cartier divisor. We show in this note that for $i\le p+1$, the…

Let $X$ be a complex smooth projective variety of dimension $d$. Under some assumption on the cohomology of $X$, we construct mutually orthogonal idempotents in $CH_d(X \times X) \otimes \Q$ whose action on algebraically trivial cycles…

In this paper, we describe the Brill--Noether theory of a general smooth plane curve and a general curve $C$ on a Hirzebruch surface of fixed class. It is natural to study the line bundles on such curves according to the splitting type of…

Let X be a smooth proper variety over the quotient field of a Henselian discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field of characteristic p. We show that for any coherent sheaf E on X, the index of X divides the…
