On calcule par des méthodes arithmétiques le groupe de Brauer non ramifié des espaces homogènes de groupes algébriques linéaires sur différents corps. Les formules obtenues font intervenir l’hypercohomologie de complexes de groupes de type multiplicatif.
In this paper, we give a new proof of the continuity of division by differential operators with analytic coefficients, originally proved by Mebkhout and the second author. Our methods come from the proof of the Constant Rank Theorem for analytic maps between power series spaces, given by Müller and the first author.
In his work on log-concavity of multiplicities, Okounkov showed in passing that one could associate a convex body to a linear series on a projective variety, and then use convex geometry to study such linear systems. Although Okounkov was essentially working in the classical setting of ample line bundles, it turns out that the construction goes through for an arbitrary big divisor. Moreover, this viewpoint renders transparent many basic facts about asymptotic invariants of linear series, and opens...
For a finitely generated group, we study the relations between its rank, the maximal rank of its free quotient, called co-rank (inner rank, cut number), and the maximal rank of its free abelian quotient, called the Betti number. We show that any combination of the group's rank, co-rank, and Betti number within obvious constraints is realized for some finitely presented group (for Betti number equal to rank, the group can be chosen torsion-free). In addition, we show that the Betti number is additive...
