We show that the fundamental groups of normal complex algebraic varieties share many properties of the fundamental groups of smooth varieties. The jump loci of rank one local systems on a normal variety are related to the jump loci of a resolution and of a smoothing of this variety.

A. Weil proposed in his book “Foundations of algebraic geometry” several problems concerning differential forms on algebraic varieties, S. Koizumi has proved that if ω is a differential form on a complete variety U without multiple point, which is finite at every point of IT, then ω is the differential form of the first kind. The following example shows that on everywhere normal varieties with multiple points this statement holds no more; that is: A differential form on a everywhere normal variety which is finite on every simple point of its variety is not always the differential form of the first kind.

Abstract We use the non-proper Morse theory of Palais–Smale to investigate the topology of smooth closed subvarieties of complex semi-abelian varieties and that of their infinite cyclic covers. As main applications, we obtain the finite generation (except in the middle degree) of the corresponding integral Alexander modules as well as the signed Euler characteristic property and generic vanishing for rank-one local systems on such subvarieties. Furthermore, we give a more conceptual (topological) interpretation of the signed Euler characteristic property in terms of vanishing of Novikov homology. As a byproduct, we prove a generic vanishing result for the $L^2$-Betti numbers of very affine manifolds. Our methods also recast June Huh’s extension of Varchenko’s conjecture to very affine manifolds and provide a generalization of this result in the context of smooth closed sub-varieties of semi-abelian varieties.

AbstractWe extend most of the results of generic vanishing theory to bundles of holomorphic forms and rank-one local systems, and more generally to certain coherent sheaves of Hodge-theoretic origin associated with irregular varieties. Our main tools are Saito’s mixed Hodge modules, the Fourier–Mukai transform for $\mathscr{D}$-modules on abelian varieties introduced by Laumon and Rothstein, and Simpson’s harmonic theory for flat bundles. In the process, we also discover two natural categories of perverse coherent sheaves.

Let X and Y be the complements of divisors on non-singular irreducible closed subvarieties [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in ℙn, respectively. Suppose that dim X+ dim Y≥n+2. Then, for a general g∈PGL (n+1), the natural homomorphism π1(g(X)∩Y)→π1(Y) induces a surjection from Ker (π1(g(X)∩Y)→π1(g(X))) onto π1(Y), and there is a surjection to its kernel from the cokernel of π2(X)→π2(ℙn). In particular, if E⊂ℙn is a hypersurface and 2·dim [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to π1(ℙn\E) for a general g∈PGL (n+1).

AbstractWe show that in positive characteristic special loci of deformation spaces of rank one $$\ell $$ ℓ -adic local systems are quasi-linear. From this we deduce the Hard Lefschetz theorem for rank one $$\ell $$ ℓ -adic local systems and a generic vanishing theorem.

Let K be a function field of one variable over a perfect field k and let v be a valuation of K over k. Then is the different-divisor (Verzweigungsdivisor) of K/k(x), and (x)∞ is the denominator-divisor (Nennerdivisor) of x. In §1 we consider a generalization of this theorem in the function fields of many variables under some conditions. In §2 and §3 we consider the differential forms of the first kind on algebraic varieties, or the differential forms which are finite at every simple point of normal varieties and subadjoint hypersurfaces which are developed by Clebsch and Picard in the classical case. In §4 we give a proof of the following theorem. Let Vr be a normal projective variety defined over a field k of characteristic 0, and let ω1, …, ωs be linearly independent simple closed differential forms which are finite at every simple point of Vr. Then the induced forms on a generic hyperplane section are also linearly independent.
