Building on results of Bazzoni–Št'ovíček, we give a complete classification of the frame of smashing ideals for the derived category of a finite dimensional valuation domain. In particular, we give an explicit construction of an infinite family of commutative rings such that the telescope conjecture fails and which generalise an example of Keller. As a consequence, we deduce that the Krull dimension of the Balmer spectrum and the Krull dimension of the smashing spectrum can differ arbitrarily for rigidly-compactly generated tensor-triangulated categories.

We classify fibrations by integral plane projective rational quartic curves whose generic fibre is regular but admits a non-smooth point that is a canonical divisor. These fibrations can only exist in characteristic two. The geometric generic fibre, which determines the generic behavior of the special fibres, is an integral plane projective rational quartic curve over the algebraic closure of the function field of the base. It has the remarkable property that the tangent lines at the non-singular points are either all bitangents or all non-ordinary inflection tangents; moreover it is strange, that is, all the tangent lines meet in a common point. We construct two fibrations that are universal in the sense that any other fibration with the aforementioned properties can be obtained from one of them by a base extension. Furthermore, among these fibrations we choose a pencil of plane quartic curves and study in detail its geometry. We determine the corresponding minimal regular model and we describe it as a purely inseparable double covering of a quasi-elliptic fibration.

Unprojection theory is a philosophy due to Miles Reid, which becomes a useful tool in algebraic geometry for the construction and the study of new interesting geometric objects such as algebraic surfaces and 3-folds. In this present work we introduce a new format of unprojection, which we call the 4-intersection format. It is specified by a codimension 2 complete intersection ideal I which is contained in four codimension 3 complete intersection ideals and leads to the construction of codimension 6 Gorenstein rings. As an application, we construct three families of codimension 6 Fano 3-folds embedded in weighted projective space which correspond to the entries with identifier numbers 29376, 9176 and 24198 respectively in the Graded Ring Database.

Weak proregularity of an ideal in a commutative ring is a subtle generalization of the noetherian property of the ring. Weak proregularity is of special importance for the study of derived completion, and it occurs quite often in non-noetherian rings arising in Hochschild and prismatic cohomologies.
This paper is about several related topics: adically flat modules, recognizing derived complete complexes, the structure of the category of derived complete complexes, and a derived complete Nakayama theorem – all with respect to a weakly proregular ideal; and the preservation of weak proregularity under completion of the ring.

We study the preorder (and the associated equivalence relation ) on the family of subsets of an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0, defined by letting iff there exists a polynomial P such that . We concentrate mainly on the finite subsets of k and prove that the -equivalence classes of sets of a given finite cardinality form an affine algebraic variety; inside these varieties, we compute in particular the dimension of the set of -classes that have less representatives than the generic ones and the dimension of the set of -classes that are comparable with a given -class.
We also show that, in a specified sense, very many -classes are -maximal (or -maximal under the class of singletons, for -classes of finite sets).
