Homogeneous Cyclotomic Polynomials and Rationality of Curves

Rationality of cycles on function field of exceptional projective homogeneous varieties

In this article we prove a result comparing rationality of algebraic cycles over the function field of a projective homogeneous variety under a linear algebraic group of type $F_4$ or $E_8$ and over the base field, which can be of any characteristic.

Rationality of homogeneous varieties

Let G be a connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k, and let H be a connected closed subgroup of G. We prove that the homogeneous variety G/H is a rational variety over k whenever H is solvable, or when dim(G/H) < 11 and characteristic(k) = 0. When H is of maximal rank in G, we also prove that G/H is rational if the maximal semisimple quotient of G is isogenous to a product of almost-simple groups of type A, type C (when characteristic(k) is not 2), or type B_3 or G_2 (when characteristic(k) = 0).

The connectedness of the moduli space of maps to homogeneous spaces

We prove the connectedness of the moduli space of maps (of fixed genus and homology class) to the homogeneous space G/P by degeneration via the maximal torus action. In the genus 0 case, the irreducibility of the moduli of maps is a direct consequence of connectedness. An analysis of a related Bialynicki-Birula stratification of the map space yields a rationality result: the (coarse) moduli space of genus 0 maps to G/P is a rational variety. The rationality argument depends essentially upon rationality results for quotients of SL2 representations proven by Katsylo and Bogomolov.

The rationality of the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity in graded dimension two

We show that the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity is a rational number for an R_+-primary homogeneous ideal I=(f_1, ..., f_n) in a two-dimensional graded domain R of finite type over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. Moreover we give a formula for the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity in terms of certain rational numbers coming from the strong Harder-Narasimhan filtration of the syzygy bundle Syz(f_1, . . ., f_n) on the projective curve Y = Proj R.

Lois de réciprocité supérieures et points rationnels

Let C be the complex field and K=C((x,y)) or K=C((x))(y). Let G be a connected linear algebraic group over K. Under the assumption that the K-variety G is K-rational, i.e. that the function field is purely transcendant, it was proved that a principal homogeneous space of G has a rational point over K as soon as it has one over each completion of K with respect to a discrete valuation. In this paper we show that one cannot in general do without the K-rationality assumption. To produce our examples, we introduce a new type of obstruction. It is based on higher reciprocity laws on a 2-dimensional…
