(future) Abstract: The paper is about power towers. A power tower is an object analogous to a foliation, but in positive characteristic. They generalise fibrations. They include purely inseparable morphisms. We develop a Galois-type correspondence for power towers. This gives a useful framework for working with purely inseparable morphisms. In particular, we prove a formula for a pullback of a canonical divisor with respect to any such morphism.
Comment: The paper will contain the results from my PhD thesis.
Abstract: We explicitly compute canonical liftings modulo p^2 in a sense of Achinger--Zdanowicz of Dwork hypersurfaces. The computation involves studying a compatibility between Hodge filtrations and a crystalline Frobenius. In particular, remarkably, we explicitly compute a partial data of the crystalline Frobenius modulo p^2.
Comment: This paper covers the results from my Master thesis. I defended it in September 2020.
Abstract: For a prime number q not equal 2 and r > 0
we study, whether there exists an isometry of order q^r
acting on a free Z^p^k-module equipped with a scalar product. We investigate, whether there exists such an isometry with no non-zero fixed points. Both questions are completely answered in this paper if p is not 2 and not q. As an application we refine Naik's criterion for periodicity of links in S^3. The periodicity criterion we obtain is effectively computable and gives concrete restrictions for periodicity of low-crossing knots.
Comment: My work that I did in Borodzik's grant (2017-2018) is a part of this paper.
