Teissier has proven remarkable inequalities [Formula: see text] for intersection numbers si = (ℒi ⋅ ℳd-i) of a pair of nef line bundles ℒ, ℳ on a d-dimensional complete algebraic variety over a field. He asks if two nef and big line bundles are numerically proportional if the inequalities are all equalities. In this paper, we show that this is true in the most general possible situation, for nef and big line bundles on a proper irreducible scheme over an arbitrary field k. Boucksom, Favre and Jonsson have recently established this result on a complete variety X over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Their proof involves an ingenious extension of the intersection theory on a variety to its Zariski Riemann Manifold. This extension requires the existence of a direct system of nonsingular varieties dominating X. We make use of a simpler intersection theory which does not require resolution of singularities, and extend volume to an arbitrary field and prove its continuous differentiability, extending results of Boucksom, Favre and Jonsson, and of Lazarsfeld and Mustaţă. A goal in this paper is to provide a manuscript which will be accessible to many readers. As such, subtle topological arguments which are required to give a complete proof in [S. Bouksom et al., J. Algebraic Geometry18 (2009) 279–308] have been written out in this manuscript, in the context of our intersection theory, and over arbitrary varieties.

Letkbe any algebraically closed field, and denote byk((t)) the field of formal power series in one indeterminatetoverk. Letso thatKis the field of Puiseux expansions with coefficients ink(each element ofKis a formal power series intl/rfor some positive integerr). It is well-known thatKis algebraically closed if and only ifkis of characteristic zero [1, p. 61]. For examples relating to ramified extensions of fields with valuation [9, §6] it is useful to have a field analogous toKwhich is algebraically closed whenkhas non-zero characteristicp. In this paper, I prove that the setLof all formal power series of the form Σaitei(where (ei) is well-ordered,ei=mi|nprt,n∈ Ζ,mi∈ Ζ,ai∈k,ri∈ Ν) forms an algebraically closed field.

AbstractLet X be a smooth projective variety defined over an algebraically closed field k. Nori constructed a category of vector bundles on X, called essentially finite vector bundles, which is reminiscent of the category of representations of the fundamental group (in characteristic zero). In fact, this category is equivalent to the category of representations of a pro-finite group scheme which controls all finite torsors. We show that essentially finite vector bundles coincide with those which become trivial after being pulled back by some proper and surjective morphism to X.

Let f: V → C be a fibration from a smooth projective surface onto a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field k. In the case of characteristic zero, almost all fibres of f are nonsingular. In the case of positive characteristic, it is, however, known that there exist fibrations whose general fibres have singularities. Moreover, it seems that such fibrations often have pathological phenomena of algebraic geometry in positive characteristic (see M. Raynaud [7], W. Lang [4]).

We point out that a group first order definable in a differentially closed field K of characteristic 0 can be definably equipped with the structure of a differentially algebraic group over K. This is a translation into the framework of differentially closed fields of what is known for groups definable in algebraically closed fields (Weil's theorem).I restrict myself here to showing (Theorem 20) how one can find a large “differentially algebraic group chunk” inside a group defined in a differentially closed field. The rest of the translation (Theorem 21) follows routinely, as in [B].What is, perhaps, of interest is that the proof proceeds at a completely general (soft) model theoretic level, once Facts 1–4 below are known.Fact 1. The theory of differentially closed fields of characteristic 0 is complete and has quantifier elimination in the language of differential fields (+, ·,0,1, −1,d).Fact 2. Affine n-space over a differentially closed field is a Noetherian space when equipped with the differential Zariski topology.Fact 3. If K is a differentially closed field, k ⊆ K a differential field, and a and are in k, then a is in the definable closure of k ◡ iff a ∈ ‹› (where k ‹› denotes the differential field generated by k and).Fact 4. The theory of differentially closed fields of characteristic zero is totally transcendental (in particular, stable).

AbstractIt is shown that the following conditions on a finite-dimensional algebra A over a real closed field or an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero are equivalent: (i) A admits a special involution, in the sense of Easdown and Munn, (ii) A admits a proper involution, (iii) A is semisimple.

Abstract We define and study the motive of the moduli stack of vector bundles of fixed rank and degree over a smooth projective curve in Voevodsky’s category of motives. We prove that this motive can be written as a homotopy colimit of motives of smooth projective Quot schemes of torsion quotients of sums of line bundles on the curve. When working with rational coefficients, we prove that the motive of the stack of bundles lies in the localizing tensor subcategory generated by the motive of the curve, using Białynicki-Birula decompositions of these Quot schemes. We conjecture a formula for the motive of this stack, inspired by the work of Atiyah and Bott on the topology of the classifying space of the gauge group, and we prove this conjecture modulo a conjecture on the intersection theory of the Quot schemes.

AbstractLet k be an algebraically closed field completewith respect to a non-Archimedean absolute value of arbitrary characteristic. Let D1 , … , Dn be effective nef divisors intersecting transversally in an n-dimensional nonsingular projective variety X. We study the degeneracy of non-Archimedean analytic maps from k into under various geometric conditions. When X is a rational ruled surface and D1 and D2 are ample, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition such that there is no non-Archimedean analytic map from k into . Using the dictionary between non-Archimedean Nevanlinna theory and Diophantine approximation that originated in earlier work with T. T. H. An, we also study arithmetic analogues of these problems, establishing results on integral points on these varieties over ℤ or the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field.

In “Seminormal rings and weakly normal varieties” we introduced the notion of a c-regular function on an algebraic variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Our intention was to describe those k-valued functions on a variety X that become regular functions when lifted to the normalization of X, but without any reference to the normalization in the definition. That is, we aspired to identify the c-regular functions on X with the regular functions on the weak normalization of X
