We give algorithms for computing with divisors on projective curves over finite fields, and with their Jacobians, using the algorithmic representation of projective curves developed by Khuri-Makdisi. We show that various desirable operations can be performed efficiently in this setting: decomposing divisors into prime divisors; computing pull-backs and push-forwards of divisors under finite mor...

We show how to make the additive Chow groups of Bloch-Esnault, Rülling and Park into a graded module for Bloch's higher Chow groups, in the case of a smooth projective variety over a field. This yields a a projective bundle formula as well as a blow-up formula for the additive Chow groups of a smooth projective variety. In case the base-field admits resolution of singularieties, these propertie...

If R is a ring of coefficients and G a finite group, then a flat RG-module which is projective as an R-module is necessarily projective as an RG-module. More generally, if H is a subgroup of finite index in an arbitrary group Γ, then a flat RΓmodule which is projective as an RH-module is necessarily projective as an RΓ-module. This follows from a generalization of the first theorem to modules o...

A theorem of B. Green states that if A is a Dedekind ring whose fraction field is a local or global field, every normal projective curve over Spec(A) has a finite morphism to P1A. We give a different proof of a variant of this result using intersection theory and work of Moret-Bailly.

In this paper we show that if q is a power of a prime p , then the projective special linear group PSL(2, q) and the stabilizer of a point of the projective line have maximum sum element orders among all proper subgroups of projective general linear group PGL(2, q) for q odd and even respectively

A result of Belyi can be stated as follows. Every curve defined over a number field can be expressed as a cover of the projective line with branch locus contained in a rigid divisor. We define the notion of geometrically rigid divisors in surfaces and then show that every surface defined over a number field can be expressed as a cover of the projective plane with branch locus contained in a geo...

We show that the Hall algebra of the category of coherent sheaves on a weighted projective line over a finite field provides a realization of the (quantized) enveloping algebra of a certain nilpotent subalgebra of the affinization of the corresponding Kac-Moody algebra. In particular, this yields a geometric realization of the quantized enveloping algebra of elliptic (or 2-toroidal) algebras of...

We show that the category of projective modules over a graded commutative ring admits a triangulation with respect to module suspension if and only if the ring is a finite product of graded fields and exterior algebras on one generator over a graded field (with a unit in the appropriate degree). We also classify the ungraded commutative rings for which the category of projective modules admits ...

This paper is a continuation of the papers J. Pure Appl. Algebra, 210 (2007), 437–445 and J. Algebra Appl., 8 (2009), 219–227. Namely, we introduce and study a doubly filtered set of classes of modules of finite Gorenstein projective dimension, which are called (n, m)-strongly Gorenstein projective ((n, m)-SG-projective for short) for integers n ≥ 1 and m ≥ 0. We are mainly interested in studyi...
