Let K be a subfield of the real field, D ⊆ K be a discrete set and f: Dⁿ → K be such that f(Dⁿ) is somewhere dense. Then (K,f) defines ℤ. We present several applications of this result. We show that K expanded by predicates for different cyclic multiplicative subgroups defines ℤ. Moreover, we prove that every definably complete expansion of a subfield of the real field satisfies an analogue of the Baire category theorem.

Let $V$ be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We prove $P_{12}\left(V\right):=dim{H}^0(V,12K_V)\>0$ and $P_{m_0}\left(V\right)\>1$ for some positive integer $m_0\le 24$. A direct consequence is the birationality of the pluricanonical map ${\varphi }_m$ for all $m\ge 126$. Besides, the canonical volume $\text{Vol}\left(V\right)$ has a universal lower bound $\nu \left(3\right)\ge \frac{1}{63·{126}^2}$.

Let $X/K$ be an absolutely simple abelian variety over a number field; we study whether the reductions $X_{𝔭}$ tend to be simple, too. We show that if $End\left(X\right)$ is a definite quaternion algebra, then the reduction $X_{𝔭}$ is geometrically isogenous to the self-product of an absolutely simple abelian variety for $𝔭$ in a set of positive density, while if $X$ is of Mumford type, then $X_{𝔭}$ is simple for almost all $𝔭$. For a large class of abelian varieties with commutative absolute endomorphism ring, we give an explicit upper bound...

Let f: ℝⁿ → ℝ be a polynomial function of degree d with f(0) = 0 and ∇f(0) = 0. Łojasiewicz’s gradient inequality states that there exist C > 0 and ϱ ∈ (0,1) such that ${\left|\nabla f\right|\ge C\left|f\right|}^{\varrho }$ in a neighbourhood of the origin. We prove that the smallest such exponent ϱ is not greater than $1-R{(n,d)}^{-1}$ with $R(n,d)=d{(3d-3)}^{n-1}$.

Let $R$ be a ring. In two previous articles [12, 14] we studied the homotopy category $𝐊\left(R\text{-}\mathrm{Proj}\right)$ of projective $R$-modules. We produced a set of generators for this category, proved that the category is ${\aleph }_1$-compactly generated for any ring $R$, and showed that it need not always be compactly generated, but is for sufficiently nice $R$. We furthermore analyzed the inclusion $j_{!}^{}:𝐊\left(R\text{-}\mathrm{Proj}\right)\to 𝐊\left(R\text{-}\mathrm{Flat}\right)$ and the orthogonal subcategory $𝒮={𝐊\left(R\text{-}\mathrm{Proj}\right)}^{\perp }$. And we even showed that the inclusion $𝒮\to 𝐊\left(R\text{-}\mathrm{Flat}\right)$ has a right adjoint; this forces some natural map to be an equivalence...

We consider categories of generalized perverse sheaves, with relaxed constructibility conditions, by means of the process of gluing t-structures and we exhibit explicit abelian categories defined in terms of standard sheaves categories which are equivalent to the former ones. In particular , we are able to realize perverse sheaves categories as non full abelian subcategories of the usual bounded complexes of sheaves categories. Our methods use induction on perversities. In this paper, we restrict...

1. Motivation. Let J₀(N) denote the Jacobian of the modular curve X₀(N) parametrizing pairs of N-isogenous elliptic curves. The simple factors of J₀(N) have real multiplication, that is to say that the endomorphism ring of a simple factor A contains an order in a totally real number field of degree dim A. We shall sometimes abbreviate "real multiplication" to "RM" and say that A has maximal RM by the totally real field F if A has an action of the full ring of integers of F. We say that a...
