The main purpose of this paper is to give a topological and symplectic classification of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems in terms of characteristic classes and other local and global invariants.

We give some effectivity results in birational geometry. We provide an upper bound on the rational constant in Rationality Theorem in terms of certain intersection numbers, under an additional condition on the variety that it admits a divisorial contraction. One consequence is an explicit bound on the number of certain extremal rays. Our main result tries to construct from a given set of ample divisors Hj on X with their intersection numbers bi, a certain set of ample divisors Lj on X' or X+ where X' or X+ arises from a contraction or a flip, such that the corresponding intersection numbers of Lj are uniformly bounded in terms of bi and the index of X. This gives a bound on the projective degree of a minimal model in special case.

In this paper, the new techniques and results concerning the structure theory of modules over noncommutative Iwasawa algebras are applied to arithmetic: we study Iwasawa modules over p-adic Lie extensions k∞ of number fields k ‘up to pseudo-isomorphism’. In particular, a close relationship is revealed between the Selmer group of Abelian varieties, the Galois group of the maximal Abelian unramified p-extension of k∞ as well as the Galois group of the maximal Abelian p-extension unramified outside S where S is a certain finite setof places of k. Moreover, we determine the Galois module structure of local units and other modules arising from Galois cohomology.

We study the Stickelberger element of a cyclic extension of global fields of prime power degree. Assuming that S contains an almost splitting place, we show that the Stickelberger element is contained in a power of the relative augmentation ideal whose exponent is at least as large as Gross's prediction. This generalizes the work of Tate (see Section 4) on a refinement of Gross's conjecture in the cyclic case. We also present an example for which Tate's prediction does not hold.

We show that for a polynomial map, the size of the Jordan blocks for the eigenvalue 1 of the monodromy at infinity is bounded by the multiplicity of the reduced divisor at infinity of a good compactification of a general fiber. The existence of such Jordan blocks is related to global invariant cycles of the graded pieces of the weight filtration. These imply some applications to period integrals. We also show that such a Jordan block of size greater than 1 for the graded pieces of the weight filtration is the restriction of a strictly larger Jordan block for the total cohomology group. If there are no singularities at infinity, we have a more precise statement on the monodromy.

In this paper, we consider the preservation of stability by using the notion of twisted stability. As applications, (1) we show that moduli spaces of stable sheaves on K3 and abelian surfaces are irreducible and (2) we compute Hodge polynomials of some moduli spaces of stable sheaves on Enriques surfaces.

This paper is devoted to the calculation of the B-model chiral ring, used in physics, for semiample Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces. We also study the cohomology of semiample hypersurfaces.

Let p be a prime number and F a complete local field with residue field of characteristic p. In 1993, Barthel and Livné proved the existence of a new kind of $\overline{\bf F}_{p}$-representations of GL2(F) that they called ‘supersingular’ and on which one knows almost nothing. In this article, we determine all the supersingular representations of GL2(Qp) with their intertwinings. This classification shows a natural bijection between the set of isomorphism classes of supersingular representations of GL2(Qp) and the set of isomorphism classes of two-dimensional irreducible $\overline{\bf F}_{p}$-representations of ${\rm Gal}(\overline{\bf Q}_{p}/{\bf Q}_{p})$.

It is proved that a product of four or more terms of positive integers in arithmetic progression with common difference a prime power is never a square. More general results are given which completely solve (1.1) with gcd(n, d)=1, k≥3 and 1<d≤104.

We formulate and prove a Sato–Tate equidistribution law for Drinfeld modules.

Alexander Premet has stated the following problem: what is a relation between subregular nilpotent representations of a classical semisimple restricted Lie algebra and non-commutative deformations of the corresponding singularities? We solve this problem for type A.

We show that there is no square other than 122 and 7202 such that it can be written as a product of k−1 integers out of k(≥3) consecutive positive integers. We give an extension of a theorem of Sylvester that a product of k consecutive integers each greater than k is divisible by a prime exceeding k.

We study dynamics of rational maps of degree at least 2 with coefficients in the field ${\open C}_{p}$, where p>1 is a fixed prime number. The main ingredient is to consider the action of rational maps in p-adic hyperbolic space, denoted ${\open H}_{p}$. Hyperbolic space ${\open H}_{p}$ is provided with a natural distance, for which it is connected and one dimensional (an ${\open R}$-tree). These advantages with respect to ${\open C}_{p}$ give new insight into dynamics. In this paper we prove the following results about periodic points; we give applications to the Fatou/Julia theory over ${\open C}_{p}$ and to ultrametric analysis in forthcoming papers. We prove that the existence of at least two nonrepelling periodic points implies the existence of infinitely many of them. This is in contrast with the complex setting where a rational map can have at most finitely many nonrepelling periodic points. On the other hand we prove that every rational map has a repelling fixed point, either in the projective line or in hyperbolic space. So the topological expansion of a rational map is detected by some fixed point.

We relate the equisingular deformation theory of plane curve singularities and sandwiched surface singularities. We show the existence of a smooth map between the two corresponding deformation functors and study the kernel of this map. In particular we show that the map is an isomorphism when a certain invariant is large enough.
