Abstract

We use functoriality of tropicalization and the geometry of projections of subvarieties of tori to show that the fibers of the tropicalization map are dense in the Zariski topology. For subvarieties of tori over fields of generalized power series, points in each tropical fiber are obtained "constructively" using Kedlaya's transfinite version of Newton's method.

Blocking sets from a union of plane curves

Motivated by a question of Erdős on blocking sets in a projective plane that intersect every line only a few times, several authors have used unions of algebraic curves to construct such sets in $\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{F}_q)$. In this paper, we provide new constructions of blocking sets in $\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ from a union of geometrically irreducible curves of a fixed degree $d$. We also establish lower bounds on the number of such curves required to form a blocking set. Our proofs combine tools from arithmetic geometry and combinatorics.

On a relation of a conjecture of Goncharov to the co-Lie algebra of Bloch-Kriz mixed Tate motives

Goncharov defined for each field $F$ and an integer $n$ greater than 1 a certain group $B_n(F)$. We consider the possibility of defining a linear map from $B_n(F)$ to the co-Lie algebra of the category of mixed Tate motives defined by Bloch and Kriz, in terms of motivic polylogarithms. We give results which support this possibility assuming part of the conjecture by Beilinson and Soulé on vanishing of $K$-groups of fields.

Supersingular Tate conjecture for irreducible symplectic varieties of known types: I

We prove that for a supersingular irreducible symplectic variety admitting suitable lifting to characteristic zero has Tate Chow motive if it is of deformation type $K3^{[n]}$, OG6 (with Artin invariant $\neq$ 4), or OG10 (with Artin invariant $\neq$ 12), and has supersingular abelian Chow motive if it is of $\mathrm{Kum}^n$-type (with Artin invariant $\neq$ 3). In particular, any product of those irreducible symplectic varieties satisfies the supersingular Tate conjecture for the whole $\ell$-adic or crystalline cohomology ring.
