We prove that if (X, A) is a threefold pair with mild singularities such that -(KX + A) is nef, then the numerical class of -(KX + A) is effective. ...
We show that mixed-characteristic and equicharacteristic small deformations of 3-dimensional canonical (resp., terminal) singularities with perfect residue field of characteristic p>5 are canonical (resp., terminal). We discuss applications to arithmetic a ...
We use birational geometry to show that the existence of rational points on proper rationally connected varieties over fields of characteristic 0 is a consequence of the existence of rational points on terminal Fano varieties. We discuss several consequenc ...
We use the theory of foliations to study the relative canonical divisor of a normalized inseparable base-change. Our main technical theorem states that it is linearly equivalent to a divisor with positive integer coefficients divisible by p - 1. We deduce ...
We investigate the vanishing of H1(X,OX(−D)) for a big and nef Q-Cartier Z-divisor D on a log del Pezzo pair (X,Δ) over a perfect field of positive characteristic p. ...
We prove that smooth, projective, K-trivial, weakly ordinary varieties over a perfect field of characteristic p>0 are not geometrically uniruled. We also show a singular version of our theorem, which is sharp in multiple aspects. Our work, together with La ...
The Chow-Mumford (CM) line bundle is a functorial line bundle on the base of any family of klt Fano varieties. It is conjectured that it yields a polarization on the moduli space of K-poly-stable klt Fano varieties. Proving ampleness of the CM line bundle ...
Combining diffusion strategies with complementary properties enables enhanced performance when they can be run simultaneously. In this article, we first propose two schemes for the convex combination of two diffusion strategies, namely, the power-normalize ...
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We give a birational characterization of ordinary abelian varieties over k: a smooth projective variety X is birational to an ordinary abelian variety if and only if kappa(S)(X) = 0 and b(1)(X ...
We show that for a surjective, separable morphism f of smooth projective varieties over a field of positive characteristic such that f(*) OX congruent to O-Y subadditivity of Kodaira dimension holds, provided the base is of general type and the Hasse-Witt ...
We prove that one can run the log minimal model program for log canonical 3-fold pairs in characteristic p > 5. In particular, we prove the cone theorem, contraction theorem, the existence of flips and the existence of log minimal models for pairs with log ...
We explore a few algebraic and geometric structures, through certain questions posed by modern cryptography. We focus on the cases of discrete logarithms in finite fields of small characteristic, the structure of isogeny graphs of ordinary abelian varietie ...
Nowadays, one area of research in cryptanalysis is solving the Discrete Logarithm Problem (DLP) in finite groups whose group representation is not yet exploited. For such groups, the best one can do is using a generic method to attack the DLP, the fastest ...
We state conditions under which the set S(k) of k-rational points on a del Pezzo surface S of degree 1 over an infinite field k of characteristic not equal to 2 or 3 is Zariski dense. For example, it suffices to require that the elliptic fibration S -> P-1 ...
We consider a notion of balanced metrics for triples (X, L, E) which depend on a parameter alpha, where X is a smooth complex manifold with an ample line bundle L and E is a holomorphic vector bundle over X. For generic choice of alpha, we prove that the l ...
