We study the following general situation. Let $R\to S$ be a finite flat morphism of regular rings of zero (resp. prime) characteristic. For $P\in Spec R$, put $A=R/P, C=S/PS,$ and $B=S/\sqrt{PS}=C_{\mathrm{red}}.$ The basic question is whether a property of $B$ forces the same property of $A$. The main point is that ordinary finite-flat descent applies naturally to $A\to C$, whereas the passage $C\to C_{\mathrm{red}}$ may destroy nilpotent information.
Suppose we are given an arbitrary line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ on a complex algebraic variety $X$, not necessarily smooth. For a positive integer $N$, suppose there exists a global section $s \in \Gamma(X, \mathcal{L}^{N})$ that defines an effective Cartier divisor $D$. If we denote $\pi: Y \rightarrow X$ to be the $N$-fo...
Let $A$ be a split finite-dimensional algebra over a field whose radical $J$ satisfies $J^3=0$, and let $s$ be the number of isomorphism classes of simple $A$-modules. We prove that a non-projective module $M$ with ${\rm Ext}_A^i(M,A)=0$ for all $i>0$ has a non-zero self-extension in some degree between $1$ and $3s+1$....
Let $X$ be a connected finite-type CW-complex with fundamental group $G$. We show that the profinite completion $\widehat{G}$ determines the cohomology jump loci $\mathcal{V}^q_s(X,\mathbb{C})$ under two hypotheses: that the loci are finite unions of torsion-translated subtori, as for smooth quasi-projective varieties,...
Consider a number field $K$, a polarized endomorphism $f:X\to X$ on a normal projective variety, and a non-exceptional point $\alpha$ for $f$. We show that the extension $K(f^{-\infty}(\alpha))/K$ generated by the backward orbit of $\alpha$ is virtually abelian if and only if $f$ is an exceptional map with CM and $\alp...

In this short note, we prove that, for any pair of finite groups $G$ and $H$, there exist a finite $T_0$-space $X$ and a semiflow $\varphi\colon [0,\infty)\times X\to X$ such that $\operatorname{Aut}(X)\cong G$, whereas $\operatorname{Aut}(\varphi_t(X))\cong H$ for every $t>0$. Thus, the symmetry group of a finite $T_0...
Let $\Gamma$ be a property (T) group admitting an injective, non-surjective endomorphism and let $G$ be the associated ascending HNN-extension. Let $W=\left(\bigoplus_{G/\Gamma} \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\right) \rtimes G.$ We show that $W$ is not an MF group and that $C^*(G)$ is not a finite C*-algebra. The ideas and proo...
