Universal covering spaces and fundamental groups in algebraic geometry as schemes

Ravi Vakil, Kirsten Wickelgren (2011)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In topology, the notions of the fundamental group and the universal cover are closely intertwined. By importing usual notions from topology into the algebraic and arithmetic setting, we construct a fundamental group family from a universal cover, both of which are schemes. A geometric fiber of the fundamental group family (as a topological group) is canonically the étale fundamental group. The constructions apply to all connected quasicompact quasiseparated schemes. With different methods and hypotheses,...

Universal transitivity of simple and 2-simple prehomogeneous vector spaces

T. Kimura, S. Kasai, H. Hosokawa (1988)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We denote by k a field of characteristic zero satisfying H 1 ( k , Aut ( S L 2 ) ) 0 . Let G be a connected k -split linear algebraic group acting on X = Aff n rationally by ρ with a Zariski-dense G -orbit Y . A prehomogeneous vector space ( G , ρ ,X) is called “universally transitive” if the set of k -rational points Y ( k ) is a single ρ ( G ) ...

Unobstructedness and dimension of families of Gorenstein algebras.

Jan O. Kleppe (2007)

Collectanea Mathematica

The goal of this paper is to develop tools to study maximal families of Gorenstein quotients A of a polynomial ring R. We prove a very general theorem on deformations of the homogeneous coordinate ring of a scheme Proj(A) which is defined as the degeneracy locus of a regular section of the dual of some sheaf M of rank r supported on say an arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay subscheme Proj(B) of Proj(R). Under certain conditions (notably; M maximally Cohen-Macaulay and ∧r M ≈ KB(t) a twist of the canonical...

Unramified Brauer group of the moduli spaces of PGLr(ℂ)-bundles over curves

Indranil Biswas, Amit Hogadi, Yogish Holla (2014)

Open Mathematics

Let X be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus g, with g ≥ 2. Let N be a connected component of the moduli space of semistable principal PGLr (ℂ)-bundles over X; it is a normal unirational complex projective variety. We prove that the Brauer group of a desingularization of N is trivial.
