Abstract: It is well-known that for any finite group $G$, there exists a closed $3$-manifold $M$ with $G$ as a quotient of the fundamental group of $M$. However, we can ask more detailed questions about the possible finite quotients of $3$-manifold...

Abstract: The aim of this talk is to present some results on isometries of even, unimodular lattices and automorphisms of K3 surfaces.

Abstract: Vanishing theorems in complex algebraic geometry, such as the Kodaira vanishing theorem, play an important role in understanding the structure of complex algebraic varieties. Ultimately, they rely on critical input from Hodge theory. After...

Abstract:

(joint work with Martin Kalck) Periods are complex numbers obtained by integrating algebraic differential forms over $\mathbf{Q}$ over a domain of algebraic nature. This includes numbers like $\pi$, $\log(2)$ or the values of the Riemann...

Abstract: Report on a paper written during the pandemic joint with Minseon Shin and Max Lieblich. Some key words: Brauer groups, nontorsion elements of $\mathrm{H}^2(X, \mathbf{G}_m)$, resolution property, Jouanolou devices, and derived categories...

Abstract: The talk is based on joint work with Michael Groechenig and Johan de Jong.
We single out integrality properties of the topological fundamental group of smooth quasi-projective complex varieties which rely on the Langlands program (both...

In the early 1920s, Emmy Noether introduced the...
