Universal bounds on the torsion of elliptic curves
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,...
We denote by a field of characteristic zero satisfying . Let be a connected -split linear algebraic group acting on rationally by with a Zariski-dense -orbit . A prehomogeneous vector space ,X) is called “universally transitive” if the set of -rational points is a single
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...
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.
We prove vanishing results for the unramified stable cohomology of alternating groups.
Let C ⊆ Pn be an unramified nonspecial real space curve having many real branches and few ovals. We show that C is a rational normal curve if n is even, and that C is an M-curve having no ovals if n is odd.
