The authors identify iterated function systems \(\Phi\) on a metric space \(X\) and regular Borel measures \(\mu\) such that the matrix subdivision process relative to a finite family \(\mathcal A\) converges. They give a characterization of the convergence of the subdivision process to a function in \(L_p(\Omega,\mu)\) in terms of the spectral properties of \(\mathcal A\). First, they give a description of subdivision schemes and the definition of convergence with observations on convergent subdivision schemes. Then, they define and discuss the concept of \(\mu\)-uniformity of a family of contractions for any \(\mu\)-measurable set. Finally, they prove that the subdivision scheme converges exponentially fast and its limit function enjoys Hölder regularity. spectral radius; iterated function systems; subdivision scheme --------, Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems , Proc.

Based on this fact, we compute the normalization, the rank two trace-free sheaf, the branch locus and the singular locus of a triple cover. We give also a canonical resolution of the singularities of a triple cover surface, which provides us the formulas to compute the global invariants. The classical criterion for cubic extensions to be Galois is presented for triple covers. Finally, we establish a relationship between Miranda's triple cover data and the minimal cubic equations. triple cover; minimal cubic equation; normalization; trace-free sheaf; branch locus; singular locus; canonical resolution Tan S L.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems In a famous paper of 1987 [in: Number theory, Semin. New York 1984/85, Lect. Notes Math. 1240, 165--195 (1987; Zbl 0627.12015)], \textit{D. Harbater} proved that any finite group \(G\) can be realized as the Galois group of a finite normal covering of the projective line over a given complete non-Archimedean field \(K\). The present authors show that if \(\text{char}(K)= 0\), the covering curve can be chosen to be a Mumford curve. If, however, \(\text{char}(K)= p>0\), the authors find a necessary and sufficient condition for \(G\) to be realizable in the above sense. -- The first part of the proof is close to \textit{Q. Liu}'s proof of Harbater's theorem [in: Recent developments in the inverse Galois problem, Joint Summer Res. Conf., Univ. Washington 1993, Contemp. Math. 186, 261--265 (1995; Zbl 0834.12004)]. For the second part, the authors describe the uniformization of the Mumford curves involved. Note that the characteristic 0 result was independently obtained by \textit{P. E. Bradley} in his Ph.D. thesis [``\(p\)-adische Hurwitzräume'', Diss. (Karlsruhe 2002)] using the reviewer's characterization of discontinuous subgroups of \(\text{PGL}_2(K)\) [\textit{F.

A quasi-étale surface is the minimal resolution of the singularities of a quasi-étale quotient. They have been successfully used in the last years by several authors to produce several interesting new examples of surfaces.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems [For the entire collection see Zbl 0672.00003.] We consider a ramified Galois cover \(\phi: \hat X\to {\mathbb{P}}^ 1_ X\) of the Riemann sphere \({\mathbb{P}}^ 1_ X\), with monodromy group G. The monodromy group over \({\mathbb{P}}^ 1_ X\) of the maximal unramified abelian exponent n cover of \(\hat X\) is an extension \(_ n\tilde G\) of G by the group \(({\mathbb{Z}}/n{\mathbb{Z}})^{2g}\), where g is the genus of \(\hat X\). Denote the set of linear equivalence classes of divisors of degree \(k\) on \(\hat X\) by \(Pic^ k(\hat X)=Pic^ k\). This is equipped with a natural G-action. We show that the equivalence class of the extension \(_ n\tilde G\to G\) is determined by the cocycle of \(H^ 1(G,Pic^ 0)\) representing \(Pic^ 1\) ({\S} 2.2). From this we give an effective criterion (involving the Schur multiplier of G) to decide when this group extension splits for all n ({\S} 4.2). In particular we easily produce examples from this of cases where \(\hat X\) has \(G\) invariant divisor classes of degree 1, but no \(G\) invariant divisor of degree 1 ({\S} 5.1). The extension \(_ n\tilde G\to G\) naturally factors into a sequence \(_ n\tilde G\to H\to G\) where H is the smallest quotient of \(_ n\tilde G\) giving a Frattini cover ({\S} 1.1) that fits between \(_ n\tilde G\) and G. Extension of the main result of {\S} 4.2 would consider all maximal quotients M of \(_ n\tilde G\) such that \(M\to G\) splits. We note that the sequence including such an M factors through H, and by example we demonstrate that such maximal quotients M may not be unique ({\S} 5.2). abelian extensions of Galois covers; ramified Galois cover; divisor; Frattini cover; maximal quotients Fried, M.; Völklein, H.: Unramified abelian extensions of Galois covers.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems This paper is a report on work in progress on the irregularity of cyclic coverings of surfaces. It has been motivated by the attempt to understand and clarify some classical results by \textit{M. de Franchis} [Atti R. Accad. Lincei, Rend., Cl. Sci. Fis. Math. Natural. 13, 688-695 (1904; JFM 35.0423.01) and Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo 20, 331-334 (1905; JFM 36.0491.01)], \textit{G. Bagnera} and \textit{M. de Franchis} [Mem. Mat. Fis., Soc. Ital. Sci. (3) 15, 253-343 (1908; JFM 39.0698.03)] and \textit{A. Comessatti} [Rend. Circ. Mat. Palermo 31, 369-386 (1911; JFM 42.0448.01)] on the subject. De Franchis' theorem says that every double covering of a regular surface with geometric genus zero has Albanese dimension 1. Comessatti extended this result to triple coverings, proving that any such a cyclic covering of a regular surface with geometric genus zero has Albanese dimension 1, unless it belongs to one family of exceptions. De Franchis' approach, essentially followed by Comessatti, consists in the application of the classical trick of producing independent holomorphic 1-forms whose wedge product is zero. We exploit this idea in \(\S 4\). In \(\S 5\) we review and slightly simplify Bagnera-De Franchis' classification. Using these results and those from \(\S 4\), one is able to considerably extend De Franchis' and Comessatti's theorems mentioned above to the case of cyclic coverings of order \(n\leq 12\), \(n\neq 7,9,11\). However for sake of brevity we stated the result only in the case \(n=4\).

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems Let \(X\) be an integral scheme over a connected Dedekind scheme \(S\) with \(f: X \to S\) a faithfully flat morphism of finite type. Let \(x \in X(S)\). \textit{C. Gasbarri} defined in his paper [Duke Math. J. 117, No. 2, 287--311 (2003; Zbl 1026.11057)] the abelianalized fundamental scheme \(\pi_1(X,x)\). This is a generalization of Nori's definition of the fundamental group scheme of a reduced connected and proper scheme \(X\) over a prefect field \(k\), which is a generalization of the classical étale fundamental group. Assume that the existence of the Picard scheme \(\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}_{X/S}\), \(\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}^0_{X/S}\) as an open \(S\)-group subscheme of \(\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}_{X/S}\) is defined such that for any point \(s \in S\), \(\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}^0_{X/S} \times_S k(s) \simeq \mathrm{\mathbf Pic}^0_{X_s/k(s)}\). It exists with assumptions that \(\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}_{X/S}\) is separated over \(S\) and \(\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}^0_{X_s/k(s)}\) are smooth and have the same dimensions for all \(s \in S\). When \(\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}^0_{X/S}\) is a projective abelian scheme, set \(\mathrm{\mathbf Alb}_{X/S} := (\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}^0_{X/S} )^*\) and call it the Albanese scheme of \(X \to S\). Let \(\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}^{\tau}_{X/S}\) be an open scheme of \(\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}_{X/S}\) defined by \(\cup_n n^{-1} (\mathrm{Pic}^0_{X/S})\) where \(n:\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}_{X/S} \to \mathrm{\mathbf Pic}_{X/S}\) is the multiplication by \(n\) homomorphism. Let \(\mathrm{NS}^{\tau}_{X/S}\) be the \(S\)-scheme representing the quotient sheaf associated with respect to the fpqc topology to the functor \(T \mapsto \mathrm{\mathbf Pic}_{X/S}^{\tau}(T)/\mathrm{\mathbf Pic}^0_{X/S}(T)\). The main result of this paper is that there is an exact sequence of commutative group schemes: \[ 0 \to (\mathrm{\mathbf NS}^{\tau}_{X/S})^{\wedge} \to \pi_1(X,x)^{\mathrm{ab}} \to \pi_1(\mathrm{\mathbf Alb}_{X/S}, 0_{\mathrm{\mathbf Alb}_{X/S}}) \to 0. \] As a corollary, when \(f: C \to S\) is a smooth and projective curve with integral geometric fibres, the natural morphism \(\pi_1(C, x)^{\mathrm{ab}} \to \pi_1(J,0_J)\) is an isomorphism where \(J\) is the Jacobian of \(C\). fundamental group scheme; Albanese scheme Antei, M., \textit{on the abelian fundamental group scheme of a family of varieties}, Israel J.

This is the first book to offer a detailed study of the representation theory of elementary abelian groups, bringing together information from many papers and journals, as well as unpublished research. Special attention is given to recent work on modules of constant Jordan type, and the methods involve producing and examining vector bundles on projective space and their Chern classes. Extensive background material is provided, which will help the reader to understand vector bundles and their Chern classes from an algebraic point of view, and to apply this to modular representation theory of elementary abelian groups. The final section, addressing problems and directions for future research, will also help to stimulate further developments in the subject. With no similar books on the market, this will be an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers working in representation theory.

The relative Prym variety is a \((2g-2)\)-dimensional possibly singular variety, whose smooth locus is endowed with a hyperkähler structure. This variety is constructed as the closure of the fixed locus of a symplectic birational involution defined on the moduli space \(M_{v,H}(S)\). There is a natural Lagrangian fibration \(\eta \colon P_H \to |C|\) that makes the regular locus of \(P_H\) into an integrable system whose general fiber is a \((g-1)\)-dimensional (principally polarized) Prym variety, which in most cases is not the Jacobian of a curve. We prove that if \(|C|\) is a hyperelliptic linear system, then \(P_H\) admits a symplectic resolution which is birational to a hyperkähler manifold of \({K3}^{[g-1]}\)-type, while if \(|C|\) is not hyperelliptic, then \(P_H\) admits no symplectic resolution. We also prove that any resolution of \(P_H\) is simply connected and, when \(g\) is odd, any resolution of \(P_H\) has \(h^{2,0}\)-Hodge number equal to one.

The examples stem from the fact that the Alexander polynomial of \(\pi_1 (\mathbb{C}^2 - C)\) is cyclotomic. Using this property one can show that some groups (e.g. the fundamental group of a figure eight knot) are not isomorphic to \(\pi_1 (\mathbb{C}^2 - C)\) and are note ruled out by previously considered restrictions [see \textit{J. W. Morgan}, Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 48, 137-204 (1978; Zbl 0401.14003) and 64, 185 (1986; Zbl 0617.14013)]. It is shown that the cyclotomic property is particularly elementary in the case when \(C\) is transversal to the line at infinity. In this case it is a consequence of the fact that the fundamental group of a projective curve is the quotient of the fundamental group of the affine portion by the cyclic subgroup of the center. complements to hypersurfaces; Alexander polynomial; fundamental group A.

Zariski, building-up on a theorem by Severi asserting that the moduli space of irreducible nodal curves with given degree and number of double points is irreducible, proved 1929 that the complement of a nodal curve C in \({\mathbb{P}}^ 2\) has an abelian fundamental group. However, Severi's proof was not correct. (J. Harris announced some weeks ago a new proof.) \textit{W. Fulton} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 111, 407-409 (1980; Zbl 0406.14008)] proved an algebraic version of ''Zariski's theorem'': the algebraic fundamental group is abelian. His proof relies on his connectivity theorems and therefore is completely algebraic. \textit{P. Deligne} ''translated'' topologically Fulton's argument and proved the ''full theorem of Zariski'' [cf. Sémin. Bourbaki, 32e année, Vol. 1979/80, Exposé 543, Lect. Notes Math. 842, 1-10 (1981; Zbl 0478.14008)]. - Applied to the vertex of the cone over a nodal curve, Fulton-Deligne's theorem says that the local fundamental group of the complement of the cone in \(({\mathbb{C}}^ 3,0)\) is abelian. The authors generalize this last statement to the non homogeneous case: let X be a hypersurface with normal crossings up to codimension 2 in a point P; then the local fundamental group at P of the complement of X in the ambient space is abelian. Their method is topological and strongly inspired by Deligne's argument. The higher singularities in codimension 2 appearing in the statement are without influence on the fundamental group by some Lefschetz-type theorems due to D. Cheniot, H. Hamm and Lê D. T. and P. Deligne. - Finally the authors consider a question raised by K. Saito on the relation between poles of the residues of holomorphic forms with logarithmic behavior along X and the shape of the singularities of X. Their result gives a partial answer, relating it to the fundamental group. Zariski theorem on fundamental group; complement of a normal crossing divisor Lê D\tilde{}ung Tráng and Kyoji Saito.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems When an abelian variety has a principal polarization, it is self-dual. However, when the normalization is not principal, the problem of giving an explicit formula for the ``inversion'' (by which the author means taking the opposite with respect to the group law), on the Heisenberg group associated to the polarizing bundle, becomes subtle and important. The author generalizes results, both classical [cf. \textit{C. Birkenhake, H. Lange}, Complex abelian varieties. 2nd augmented ed. Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften 302. (Berlin: Springer) (2004; Zbl 1056.14063)] and proved by \textit{D. Mumford} [Invent. Math. 1, 287--354 (1966); ibid. 3, 75--135, 215--244 (1967; Zbl 0219.14024)] and \textit{G. R. Kempf} [Am. J. Math. 111, No.1, 65--94 (1989; Zbl 0673.14023)] in any characteristic (different from 2), and is able to give very precise results, even for (ample) line bundles that satisfy fewer technical conditions than the previously considered ones (he also compares definitions, and can show that certain conditions follow, in certain cases). These formulas should be very useful, potentially in mathematical physics where the Heisenberg group and the sections of various theta divisors, viewed as `duals' of conformal blocks [cf. e.g. \textit{T. Abe}, On \(\text{SL}(2)\)--\(\text{GL}(n)\) strange duality, preprint] are of great interest. To give an oversimplified statement of the main result, given a separable ample line bundle \(L\) over an abelian variety \(X\), with the only requirement of being symmetric with respect to the `minus' involution \(\iota\), \(\iota^\ast L\cong L\), the author considers generalized Heisenberg groups \({\mathcal G}(\delta )\) where \(\delta =(\delta_1,\ldots ,\delta_g)\) is the polarization and a theta structure \({\mathcal G}(\delta ) {\cong\atop{{\rightarrow\atop{\;\;}}}} {\mathcal G}(L)\). He gives the appropriate notion of even/odd line bundle algebraically equivalent to \(L\), counts the number of symmetric sections in \(H(L)\) that are invariant under the natural Heisenberg action, using characters of the Heisenberg group, and shows that for such an even \({\mathcal L}\cong T^\ast_a(L)\), taking the opposite results in adding \(2u_0\) to \(u\) (where \(u\) is the point in \(X\) corresponding to the projection of the Heisenberg group and \(u_0\) corresponds to \(a\) and dividing by the character corresponding to \((u+u_0)\). He compares this with the classical and with Kempf's formula. The methods are clever uses of linear-algebraic properties for the representation of the Heisenberg group (on spaces of sections), in the presence of suitably chosen symplectic forms and attendant Arf invariants. abelian varieties; polarization; theta structure Algebraic theory of abelian varieties, Theta functions and abelian varieties, Quadratic and bilinear forms, inner products, Modular representations and characters, Singularities in algebraic geometry, Vector bundles, sheaves, related construction [See also 18F20, 32Lxx, 46M20] On the inverse formula

In particular he proves that, given a smooth projective manifold M and a Galois cover \(X\to M\) with group G, there exist a projective space \({\mathbb{P}}\), a finite subgroup \(G'\) of Aut(\({\mathbb{P}})\) isomorphic to G, and a meromorphic map \(M\to {\mathbb{P}}/G\), such that \(X\to M\) is obtained from \({\mathbb{P}}\to {\mathbb{P}}/G\), by base changing with \(M\to {\mathbb{P}}/G\), and normalizing. As an application, he shows that for any given \(manifold\quad M\) and \(group\quad G\) there exists a Galois cover of M with group G.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems The Chevalley-Weil theorem is a powerful tool in Diophantine Geometry. It roughly asserts that given an unramified morphism of finite degree \(\pi \colon W \to V\) of projective algebraic varieties defined over a number field \(k\), one can lift the rational points \(p \in V(k)\) to points of \(W\) defined over a fixed number field. One key point of this result is the assumption that the morphism is ``unramified'', since otherwise, if \(\operatorname{deg}(\pi) >1\) and if \(V\) has enough rational points, then one would expect that the field of definitions of the fibers \(\pi^{-1}(p)\) vary with \(p\), so as to generate a field of infinite degree. A proof of this result was first given by \textit{C. Chevalley} and \textit{A. Weil} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris 195, 570--572 (1932; Zbl 0005.21611; JFM 58.0182.04)] in the case of curves. Since then, many proofs have appeared in the literature, also for arbitrary dimension (e.g. in the works of Bombieri and Gubler, Lang, Serre, etc.). The main goal of the present note is to illustrate a self-contained proof of this theorem with a rather different presentation and assumptions of purely topological content (see Theorem 1.1). In order to this, the authors discuss and compare various concepts of ``ramification''. They finally adopt a purely topological notion of ramification via the notion of ``topological cover'', with which they are able to exploit the absence of it and deducing it for the number fields after specialization. In previous proofs, the notion ``unramified'' was always formulated in an algebraic way (e.g.~ ``étale'' or ``\(\Omega^1_{W/V} = 0\)''). Finally, the authors apply Theorem 1.1 to the study of solutions of generalized Fermat equations. Even though this note does not contribute to substantially new results, the notion of topological cover is new in this context, and it provides a more accessible statement of the Chevalley-Weil theorem which is easier to use for applications.

Let \(F_k'\) be the surface \(F_k\) embedded into a projective space via a very ample divisor. After presenting braid monodromy in general, the author computes the braid monodromy of the branch curve \(S\) of a generic projection of \(F_k'\) to the projective plane. This helps to characterize the fundamental group of the complement of \(S\), which is in turn linked to the fundamental group of the Galois cover of \(F'\). The paper ends with a formula expressing the Chern numbers of the Galois cover of \(F_k'\) in terms of suitable invariants.

A full triangulated subcategory \(\mathcal{C}\) of the stable module category \(StMod \, G\) of possibly infinite-dimensional \(G\)-modules is called a \textit{colocalising subcategory} if it is closed under set-indexed products. It is \(\mathrm{Hom}\) closed if whenever \(M\) is in \(\mathcal{C}\), so is \(\mathrm{Hom}_k(L,M)\) for any \(G\)-module \(L\). The main result of the paper gives a bijection between the Hom closed colocalising subcategories of \(StMod \, G\) and the subsets of \(\mathrm{Proj} \, H^*(G,k)\) where the latter is the set of homogeneous prime ideals not containing \(H^{\geq 1}(G,k)\). This bijection is given by sending \(\mathcal{C}\) to its \(\pi\)-cosupport. In earlier work [the first author et al., J. Am. Math. Soc. 31, No. 1, 265--302 (2018; Zbl 1486.16011)] the authors had classified the tensor closed localising subcategories of \(StMod \;G\).

Denote by \(p(G)\) the normal subgroup generated by all Sylow \(p\)-subgroups of \(G\). Let \(X^*\) be a smooth projective curve of genus \(g\) over \(k\), and let \(X\) denote the complement in \(X^*\) of \(r\) points of \(X^*\) (\(r\geq 1\)). Then there exists a connected étale Galois cover of \(X\) of group \(G\) if and only if the quotient group \(G/p(G)\) is generated by \(2g+r-1\) elements. The necessity of this condition on \(G/p(G)\) was shown by Grothendieck in SGA1. In 1994 this conjecture has been solved in the affirmative by \textit{M. Raynaud} if \(X\) is the affine line [Invent. Math. 116, 425-462 (1994; Zbl 0798.14013)], and by \textit{D. Harbater} in the general case [Invent. Math. 117, 1-25 (1994; Zbl 0805.14014)]. The aim of this lecture of the proceedings is to prove a result of Raynaud (loc. cit.) which implies Abhyankar's conjecture for the affine line. The proof presented here involves describing the necessary constructions of covers in rigid geometry. In the last part one presents the proof of Pop of Abhyankar's conjecture [see \textit{F.

From the author's introduction: ``The rational double points of surfaces in characteristic zero are related to the finite subgroups \(G\) of \(SL_2\). Namely, if \(V\) denotes the affine plane with its linear \(G\)-action, then the variety \(X=V/G\) has a singularity at the origin, which is the one corresponding to \(G\). Let \(p\) be a prime integer. If \(p\) divides the order of \(G\), this subgroup will degenerate when reduced modulo \(p\), and the smooth reduction of \(V\) will usually not be compatible with an equisingular reduction of \(X\). Nevertheless, it turns out that every rational double point in characteristic \(p\) has a finite (possibly ramified) covering by a smooth scheme. In this paper we prove the existence of such a covering by direct calculation, and we compute the local fundamental groups of the singularities.'' The paper has an excellent brief list of references from which the reader can obtain a perspective of the subject.

The author approaches the description of such covers by analysing their arities. If covers can be obtained by adding binary relations to principal finite covers, then these covers split and in certain situations they can be characterized completely. In the first section, the main definitions and some technical results are given. The facts of the second section are needed for the proof of the main theorems. Using Ziegler's description of finite covers of disintegrated strictly minimal sets (Ziegler, 1922) simple covers are introduced and their arities are completely described in this case. In Sections 3 and 4 the following results are presented: Every covering expansion of a finite principal cover \(M_ 0 = N \cup (N \times F)\) of a strictly minimal structure \(N\) is a reduct of some minimal cover. Every binary covering expansion \(M\) of \(M_ 0\) is splitting; by this a binary covering expansion is a covering expansion obtained by adding binary relations only. The kernels \(K\) of the binary covering expansions \(M\) are characterized by their groups \(L(K)\) and \(H(K)\). The arity of a finite principal cover \(M_ 0\) of a strictly minimal set \(N\) (disintegrated or projective, there is no structure on fibres) is less or equal to the arity of a cover \(M\) of \(N\) which is an expansion of \(M_ 0\). Let \(N\), \(M_ 0\), and \(M\) be as above and assume \(G_ 0 \subseteq \text{Aut}(M)\), where \(G_ 0\) is a certain subgroup of \(\text{Aut}(M_ 0)\). Then the action of \(\text{Aut}(M)\) on \(N \times F\) can be characterized in two special forms as a wreath product or a direct product of certain permutation groups. Let \(M\) be a binary covering expansion of a cover \(M_ 0\) of a 2- transitive structure \(N\). Further let the automorphism group of a fibre be 2-transitive as well. Let \(G_ 0 \subset \text{Aut}(M)\) be the group of those automorphisms of \(M_ 0\) for which for every \(\alpha \in \text{Aut}(F)\) the permutation \((a,f) \mapsto (a,\alpha(f))\) is the identity on \(N\). Then the action of \(\text{Aut}(M)\) on \(N \times F\) can be described by \((\text{Aut}(F),F) \text{Wr }(\text{Aut}(N),N)\) or \((\text{Aut}(N),N) \times (\text{Aut}(F),F)\). In the last section, the author investigates ternary expansions of a finite principal cover of a 2-transitive structure. Some results of the other sections can be applied to such an expansion. kernel fibre; envelope; two-graph; switching class; totally categorical theories; arities; finite covers; strictly minimal sets; covering expansion; strictly minimal structure; 2-transitive structure Ivanov, A.

The example consists of curves with four irreducible components: a smooth cubic and three lines in general position which are tangent to inflection points of the cubic. In the reviewer's paper it was proven that the topological type of the embedding of these curves in the projective plane depends on the position of the inflection points on a line.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems The paper is dedicated to descent varieties meaning the following. Given a cover \(f:X\to B\) over a field, produce a parameter space \(V\) for families of models of \(f\) satisfying the following versal property: each model of \(f\) is a fiber of the family, so it corresponds to points of \(V\). The parameter space is an algebraic variety which is smooth, geometrically irreducible and defined over the field of moduli of \(f\). One application of the result is the problem of covers whose field of moduli is a number field such as \(\mathbb{Q}\). It is known that although \(\mathbb{Q}\) may not be a field of definition, the cover has to be defined over \(\mathbb{Q}_p\) for almost all prime numbers \(p\), avoiding the bad cases where \(p\) divides the order of the group of the cover or where branch points coalesce modulo \(p\) [\textit{P. Dèbes} and \textit{D. Harbater}, J. Reine Angew. Math. 498, 223--236 (1998; Zbl 0905.14015); \textit{M. Emsalem}, in: Application of covers over finite fields, Contemp. Math. 245, 117--132 (1999; Zbl 0978.14012)]. As a consequence of the main result a local-global principle on varieties follows. More precisely, let \(V\) be a geometrically irreducible smooth variety defined over the field \(\mathbb{Q}^{tp}\) of totally \(p\)-adic numbers. If \(V(\mathbb{Q}_p)\neq\emptyset\) for each embedding \(\mathbb{Q}^{tp}\hookrightarrow\mathbb{Q}_p\), then \(V(\mathbb{Q}^{tp})\neq\emptyset\). This is a special case of a result of \textit{G. Laumon} and \textit{L. Moret-Bailly} [Champs Algébriques, Ergebn. Math. Grenzgeb. 39, Springer-Verlag (2000; Zbl 0945.14005)]; other proofs were also obtained by \textit{B. Green, F. Pop} and \textit{P. Roquette} [Jahresber. Dtsch. Math.-Ver. 97, 43--74 (1995; Zbl 0857.11033)] and \textit{F. Pop} [Ann. Math. (2)144, 1--34 (1996; Zbl 0862.12003)]. In order to state the main result, let \(B\) be a regular projective geometrically irreducible variety defined over a field \(K\), and \(f\) is a mere cover of \(B\), i.e., a finite, surjective, geometrically unramified morphism \(f:X\to B\) defined over \(K\) with \(X\) a normal and geometrically irreducible \(K\)-variety. This cover is said to be a \((G)\)-cover if its group of automorphism is \(G\). Assume that the field of moduli of \(f\) is \(K\) itself. The main theorem A states that there exists an affine variety \(V\) defined over \(K\), a \((G)\)-cover \(\mathcal{F}:\mathcal{X}\to V\times B\) such that (i) for each \(v\in V\), the fiber \(\mathcal{F}_v:\mathcal{X}_v\to B_{K(v)}\) is a \(K(v)\)-model of \(f\). (ii) If \(k\) is an extension of \(K\) and \(\tilde{f}:\tilde{X}\to B(k)\) is a \(k\)-model of \(f\), then there exists \(v\in V(k)\) such that \(\tilde{f}\) is isomorphic to the fiber cover \(\mathcal{F}_v:\mathcal{X}_v\to B_k\) (as \((G)\)-covers of \(B_k\)). Moreover, \(V\) is smooth and for every extension \(k\) of \(K\) for which \(V(k)\neq\emptyset\), \(V\) is unirational over \(k\). There are various corollaries to this main result A. The first concerns existentially closed fields. A field \(k\) is existentially closed in a regular extension \(\Omega\) of \(k\) if for each smooth geometrically irreducible \(k\)-variety \(V\), \(V(\Omega)\neq\emptyset\) implies \(V(k)\neq\emptyset\). Under the hypothesis that \(K\) is existentially closed in some field of definition \(k_0\) of \(f\), they show that \(f\) itself is already defined over \(K\). For the second consequence, let \(K\) be a global field, \(\Sigma\) a non-empty finite set of places of \(K\), \(K^{\Sigma}\) the maximal extension of \(K\) in a separable closure \(K^s\) of \(K\) which is totally split over every \(v\in\Sigma\). If \(f:X\to B_{K^s}\) is a \((G)\)-cover defined over \(K^s\), the field of moduli of \(f\) is contained in \(K^{\Sigma}\) and for each \(v\in\Sigma\) there exists a \(K_v\)-model \(f_v\) for \(f\), then \(f\) itself is defined over \(K^{\Sigma}\). For the third application, it is assumed that \(B\) is a curve. A place \(v\) of \(K\) is said to be good with respect to \(f\) if the residue characteristic \(p\) does not divide the order of the group \(G\) of the cover, the base space \(B\) has good reduction at \(v\) and the branch locus of \(f\) is smooth at \(v\). It can be shown that if \(K\) is the field of moduli of \(f\), then \(K_v\) is a field of definition for all good places \(v\) of \(K\). This result was first proved for \(G\)-covers of \(\mathbb{P}^1\) [Dèbes and Harbater, loc. cit.] and then generalized [Emsalem, loc. cit.]. As a consequence they prove that if \(f:X\to B_{K^s}\) is a \((G)\)-cover of curves, the field of moduli of \(f\) is \(K\), \(\Sigma\) is a finite non-empty set of good places of \(K\), then \(f\) is defined over \(K^{\Sigma}\). The main theorem A has a global counterpart, main theorem B in which instead of dealing with one specific cover \(f\) one considers the whole moduli of covers and the descent variety will then be over Hurwitz spaces. More specifically, for each integer \(d>0\), finite subgroup \(G\) of the group \(S_d\) and integer \(r\geq3\), one considers covers \(f:X\to\mathbb{P}^1\) over fields of characteristic 0 with the following geometric invariants: the monodromy group (i.e., the Galois group of the Galois closure of \(f\otimes\overline{k}\)); the monodromy action is then (up to equivalence) given by \(G\subset S_d\), where \(d=\deg(f)\); the number of branch points is \(r\). These invariants are associated to moduli spaces of covers, Hurwitz spaces. The second main result is described as follows. There exists a smooth quasi-projective \(\mathbb{Q}\)-scheme \(\mathcal{V}\) and a Hurwitz family \(f:X\to\mathbb{P}^1_{\mathcal{V}}\) over \(\mathcal{V}\) with the following properties (i) the classifying moduli map \(\gamma_f:\mathcal{V}\to\mathcal{H}\) is smooth with geometrically irreducible fibers; (ii) for every field \(k\) of characteristic 0, every cover of \(\mathbb{P}^1_k\) of the type corresponding to \(\mathcal{H}\) appears as the fiber of the Hurwitz family \(f\) at some \(k\)-point of \(\mathcal{V}\); (iii) (local description of \(\mathcal{V}\) over \(\mathcal{H}\)) There exists an integer \(n\geq0\), a right action of \(\text{GL}_{n,\mathbb{Q}}\) on \(\mathcal{V}\) with finite stabilizers such there there is an étale surjective morphism \(\rho:U\to\mathcal{H}\) such that \(U\times_{\mathcal{H}}\mathcal{V}\) is \(U\)-isomorphic to \(\Gamma\backslash\text{GL}_{n,U}\) (with the natural projection on \(U\) and the natural right action of \(\text{GL}_{n,U}\)), where \(\Gamma\) is a subgroup of \(\text{GL}_{n,U}\). This result has various applications to the field of definition of covers. One long-standing question in descent of covers is whether a \((G)\)-cover is ``often'' defined over its field of moduli. More precisely, for any field \(k\) of characteristic 0, let \(\mathcal{H}(k)^{\text{no ob}}\subset\mathcal{H}(k)\) be the set of points \(h\in\mathcal{H}(k)\) such that the corresponding cover \(f_h:X_h\to\mathbb{P}^1_{\overline{k}}\) is defined over \(k\). The first corollary of theorem B then states that the set \(\mathcal{H}(k)^{\text{no ob}}\) is the image of \(\mathcal{V}(k)\) into \(\mathcal{H}(k)\). In particular, if \(k\) is a large field, then for every connected component \(\mathcal{Z}\) of \(\mathcal{H}_k:=\mathcal{H}\times_{\text{Spec}(\mathbb{Q})}\text{Spec}(k)\), the set \(\mathcal{H}(k)^{\text{no ob}}\cap\mathcal{Z}\) is either empty or Zariski-dense in \(\mathcal{Z}\). The second corollary slightly differs from the first one. Instead of taking only \(k\)-rational points of \(\mathcal{H}\) one considers all closed points. More specifically, let \(\mathcal{H}^{\text{no ob}}\) be the subset of \(\mathcal{H}\) of points \(h\in\mathcal{H}\) whose corresponding cover \(f_h:X_h\to\mathbb{P}^1_{\overline{k}}\) can be defined over the residue field \(\kappa(h)\) of \(h\). The second corollary says that \(\mathcal{H}^{\text{no ob}}\) is Zariski-dense in \(\mathcal{H}\). Finally it also implies the following corollary about covers of \(\mathbb{P}^1\) over ``totally \(\sigma\)-adic'' fields. Let \(K\) be a number field, \(\Sigma\) a finite non-empty set of places of \(K\), \(K^{\Sigma}\) the maximal extension of \(K\) in a fixed separable closure \(K^s\) of \(K\) which is totally split over every \(v\in\Sigma\), \(\mathcal{H}_0\) a connected component of \(\mathcal{H}_K=\mathcal{H}\times_{\text{Spec}(\mathbb{Q})}\text{Spec}(K)\), geometrically connected over \(K\). Assume that for each \(v\in\Sigma\) there exists a \(K_v\)-\((G)\)-cover \(f_v:X_v\to\mathbb{P}^1_{K_v}\) corresponding to the point \(h\in\mathcal{H}_0(K_v)\). Then there exists a \(K^{\Sigma}\)-\((G)\)-cover \(f:X\to\mathbb{P}^1_{K^{\Sigma}}\) corresponding to a point of \(\mathcal{H}_0(K^{\Sigma})\). fields of moduli; fields of definition Dèbes, P., Douai, J.-C., Moret-Bailly, L.: Descent varieties for algebraic covers.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems A Galois covering of a complex manifold \(Y\) is a finite flat map \(f: X\to Y\), with \(X\) normal and irreducible, such that the corresponding field extension \({\mathbb C}(X)/{\mathbb C}(Y)\) is Galois. The Galois group of the covering \(G:= \text{Gal}({\mathbb C}(X)/{\mathbb C}(Y))\) acts faithfully on \(X\) in such a way that \(f: X\to Y=X/G\) \ is the projection onto the quotient. The locally free sheaf \(f_*{\mathcal O}_X\) has a natural \(G\)-action compatible with the \({\mathcal O}_Y\)-algebra structure. At the generic point of \(Y\) this action corresponds to the regular representation of \(G\) on \({\mathbb C}(Y)\). The case in which \(G\) is abelian was studied by \textit{R. Pardini} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 417, 191-213 (1991; Zbl 0721.14009)]. Here the sheaf \(f_*{\mathcal O}_X\) is a direct sum of line bundles \(\bigoplus L_{\chi}^{-1}\), where \(\chi\) runs over all the irreducible representations (``characters'') of \(G\), and \(G\) acts on the summand \(L_{\chi}^{-1}\) via the character \(\chi\). In this case, if \(Y\) is compact then the \(G\)-cover \(f: X\to Y\) is determined by the so-called building data, namely the \(L_{\chi}\) and the irreducible components of the branch divisor \(D\) of \(f\), together with some combinatorial data. The building data are subject to some compatibility relations and, conversely, given a set of building data satisfying these relations one can explicitly construct a \(G\)-cover with those data. The situation is far more complicated when the group \(G\) is not abelian, since \(f_*{\mathcal O}_X\) still decomposes according to the irreducible representations of \(G\) but the summands have higher rank. The simplest non abelian groups one can consider are perhaps the dihedral groups \(D_{2n}\) (where \(2n\) is the order of the group). This situation was studied by \textit{H. Tokunaga} [Can. J. Math. 46, No. 6, 1299-1317 (1994; Zbl 0857.14009)]. In this case \(f\) is a composition \(X\to Z\to Y\), where \(Z\to Y\) is a double cover and \(X\to Z\) is a \({\mathbb Z}_n\)-cover. Assuming that \(Z\) is smooth, Tokunaga gives building data on the variety \(Z\) that encode the geometry of \(f\) in a way similar to the abelian case. The aim of this thesis under review is to obtain a theory of Galois coverings with dihedral Galois groups closer to the one existing for abelian covers, namely to describe the coverings in terms of data on \(Y\), without resorting to the auxiliary variety \(Z\). In order to keep calculations simpler, the author concentrates on the case \(G=D_8\), although her methods work in principle for any dihedral groups. She proves the existence of a Zariski open set \(U\subset Y\) that meets all the components of the branch divisor \(D\) of \(f\) and such that \(f_*{\mathcal O}_X|_U\) splits as a direct sum of line bundles and she gives an explicit algorithm for this decomposition. She then writes down multiplication tables for the restriction of \(f_*{\mathcal O}_X\) both to \(U\) and to \(Y\setminus D\), and she uses these results to give a structure theorem for \(D_8\)-coverings. More precisely, she gives data (effective divisors) on \(Y\) and an explicit way to construct a \(D_8\)-covering of \(Y\) from these data. The coverings \(f\colon X\to Y\) thus obtained have the property that \(f_*{\mathcal O}_X\) splits as a direct sum of line bundles, although of course the decomposition is not compatible with the group action. The author also gives examples where such a decomposition does not exist, thus showing that not every \(D_8\)-cover can be obtained from the above mentioned construction. The first part of the thesis contains a nice survey of Galois coverings of smooth manifolds and a careful analysis of the relations between results obtained via different approaches to the problem. branched covering; Galois covering; dihedral covering; branch divisor Coverings in algebraic geometry, Ramification problems in algebraic geometry On dihedral coverings in complex geometry

The first part studies the problem of classifying all \(Y\) such that \(\mathcal{E}_f\) is ample or nef for all \(f\) and a summary of most known results is given. It is also shown, this is a new result, that if \(Y\) is a projective manifold such that if \(\mathcal{E}_f\) is ample for all finite surjective maps \(f \colon X \rightarrow Y\), then either \(Y\) is Fano with \(b_2(Y)=1\) or \(K_Y\) is nef. An example is given of a Fano \(Y\) with \(b_2(Y)=1\) and a map \(f \colon X \rightarrow Y\) such that \(\mathcal{E}_f\) is not ample showing that the converse is not true. The author goes on to conjecture that if \(Y\) is a rational homogeneous manifold with \(b_2(Y)=1\), then \(\mathcal{E}_f\) is ample for all \(f\). The second part of the paper studies the deformation theory of finite surjective holomorphic maps \(f \colon X \rightarrow Y\) between projective manifolds. Let \(\mathrm{Hom}_f(X,Y)\) be the connected component of \(\mathrm{Hom}(X,Y)\) containing \(f\). A review of some known results on the structure of \(\mathrm{Hom}_f(X,Y)\) is given as well as a summary of most known results on the problem when a deformation of \(f\) is induced by \(\mathrm{Aut}^0(Y)\). Two new results are presented. The first one is that if \(f \colon X \rightarrow Y\) is a finite map between projective manifolds with \(Y \not= \mathbb{P}^n\) and \(\mathcal{E}_f\) is ample, then all deformations of \(f\) come from \(\mathrm{Aut}^0(Y)\). The second is that if \(Y\) is a Del Pezzo surface which is the blow up of \(\mathbb{P}^2\) at \(d \geq 3\) points and \(f \colon X \rightarrow Y\) is a finite map from a smooth projective surface, then any deformation of \(f\) comes from \(\mathrm{Aut}^0(Y)\). The third part contains known results on the structure of projective manifolds \(X\) admitting a surjective endomorphism \( f \colon X \rightarrow X\). It is also conjectured that if \(X\) is a Fano manifold with \(b_2(X)=1\) admitting a surjective endomorphism \(f \colon X \rightarrow X\), then \(X \cong \mathbb{P}^n\). finite morphism; deformation; Galois covering; ample vector bundle; Fano manifold; surjective endomorphism Nie C X, Wu C X.

The authors identify iterated function systems \(\Phi\) on a metric space \(X\) and regular Borel measures \(\mu\) such that the matrix subdivision process relative to a finite family \(\mathcal A\) converges. They give a characterization of the convergence of the subdivision process to a function in \(L_p(\Omega,\mu)\) in terms of the spectral properties of \(\mathcal A\). First, they give a description of subdivision schemes and the definition of convergence with observations on convergent subdivision schemes. Then, they define and discuss the concept of \(\mu\)-uniformity of a family of contractions for any \(\mu\)-measurable set. Finally, they prove that the subdivision scheme converges exponentially fast and its limit function enjoys Hölder regularity. spectral radius; iterated function systems; subdivision scheme --------, Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems , Proc.

The same conclusion holds if the topological fundamental group is replaced by the étale fundamental group of the punctured neighbourhood \(U\) of the singularity. This result breaks down in positive characteristic. \textit{M. Artin} [Complex Anal. algebr. Geom., Collect. Pap. dedic. K. Kodaira, 11--22 (1977; Zbl 0358.14008)] asked whether, if \(\pi^{\text{ét}}(U)\) is finite, there always is a finite morphism from a smooth scheme. This note answers the question with the étale fundamental group replaced by the local Nori fundamental group scheme \(\pi_{\text{loc}}^N(U,X,x)\), which the authors define here by adapting Nori's original construction. The main result is that a surface singularity over an algebraically closed field is a rational singularity, if \(\pi_{\text{loc}}^N(U,X,x)\) is a finite group scheme, and if \(\pi_{\text{loc}}^N(U,X,x)=0\), then it is a rational double point. Using Artin's list it follows that in the last case \(X\) admits a finite morphism from a smooth scheme, and in fact \((X,x)\) is smooth except possibly in the cases \(E_8^1\) (\(p=2,3\)) and \(E_8^3\) (\(p=2\)). covering, local fundamental group; Nori group scheme; rational singularity Esnault, H.; Viehweg, E.: Surface singularities dominated by smooth varieties, J. reine angew.

The aim of this paper is to calculate explicitely the integral closure of a B-J extension and of some extensions of degree 4 and 5 (an explicit expression is known only for extensions of degree \(\leq 3\)). In this paper, \(R\) is assumed to be a noetherian UFD containing a field whose characteristic is coprime to \(n\) and \(n-1\) and \(A=R[\alpha]\) is an extension of \(R\) of degree \(n\). When \(A\) is a B-J extension, the discriminant, the ramification divisor and the integral closure of \(A\) are computed. For extensions \(A\) of degree \(4\) or \(5\) and some conditions on the characteristic, the authors calculate the integral closure of \(A\) by reducing \(A\) to a type B-J extension, using Tschirnhaus transformation. In the last section, the computation of the integral closure is applied to algebraic geometry. The structure sheaf of every Bring-Jerrard covering space is determined explicitely in terms of coefficients of the equation defining the covering. A geometric criterion for a finite morphism of degree 3 to be Galois is also gotten and a partial result for the case of degree 5 is proved. ramification divisor; Galoisness; Bring-Jerrard extension; Tschirnhaus transformation Tan S L, Zhang D Q.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be normal projective algebraic varieties defined over the field of complex numbers. Recall that a \(G\)-cover is a finite surjective morphism \(X\rightarrow Y\) such that the induced field extension \({\mathbb C}(X)/{\mathbb C}(Y)\) is Galois, with Galois group equal to \(G\). Furthermore, a \(G\)-cover \(X\rightarrow Y\) is called versal if for any other \(G\)-cover \(W\rightarrow Z\) there exists a \(G\) equivariant rational map \(W\dasharrow X\) whose image is not fixed pointwisely by \(G\). The essential dimension \(\mathrm{ed}_{\mathbb{C}}(G)\) [introduced by \textit{J. Buhler; Z. Reichstein}, Compos. Math. 106, No. 2, 159--179 (1997; Zbl 0905.12003)] of a finite group \(G\) is equivalent to the minimum of the dimension of \(X\) where \(X\rightarrow Y\) is a versal \(G\)-cover. It is known that finite groups with essential dimension \(1\) are diedral and cyclic groups. In this article, the authors studies groups with essential dimension \(2\). More precisely, they study examples of versal \(G\)-covers where \(G\) is either the symmetric group on \(4\) letters or the alternative group on \(5\) letters. In both cases, using classical tools of birational geometry of surfaces (like Noether's inequality), they provide distinct \(G\)-covers and prove that these are not birationally equivalent. This yields explicit distinct embeddings of \(G\) into the \(2\)-dimensional Cremona group. versal Galois covers; Cremona group Coverings in algebraic geometry, Group actions on varieties or schemes (quotients), Birational automorphisms, Cremona group and generalizations A note on embeddings of \(S^4\) and \(A_5\) into the two-dimensional Cremona group and versal Galois covers

A smooth cover of \(V\) is a finite family \(\{ V_\alpha\}\), \(\alpha\in A\), of quasiprojective smooth algebraic varieties \(V_\alpha\subseteq{\mathbb P}^n(\overline{k})\) such that \(V=\bigcup_{\alpha\in A}V_\alpha\) and all the irreducible components of \(V_\alpha\) have the same dimension (depending on \(\alpha\)). A smooth cover \(\{ V_\alpha\}\) of \(V\) is called a smooth stratification of \(V\), if for any \(\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in A, \alpha_1 \neq \alpha_2\) we have \(V_{\alpha_1}\cap V_{\alpha_2}=\emptyset\). In this paper a new representation of quasiprojective algebraic varieties is introduced. Using this representation, the author proves the existence of a smooth cover and a smooth stratification \(V=\bigcup_{\alpha\in A}V_\alpha\) such that for every \(\alpha\in A\) the degree \(\overline{V}_\alpha\) of the Zariski closure \(\overline{V}_\alpha\) is bounded above by \(2^{2^{n^C}}d^n\) where \(C>0\) is an absolute constant, and the order of \(A\) is bounded above by \(2^{2^{n^C}}d^n\) in the case of smooth cover and by \(2^{2^{n^C}}d^{n(n+1)/2}\) in the case of smooth stratification. In the algorithmic part of this paper the field \(k\) is assumed to be finitely generated over \(\mathbb Q\). A method is presented to construct sequences of local parameters for components of algebraic varieties at a time that is polynomial in the size of the input and in the value \(2^{2^{n^C}}d^n\). Using the results of his previous work [\textit{A. L. Chistov}, J. Math. Sci., New York 108, 897-933 (2002); translation from Zap. Nauch. Semin. POMI 258, 7-59 (1999; Zbl 1081.14527) and in: Proc.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems This paper is motivated by motivic tensor-triangulated geometry, more explicitly, the study of the tt-geometry of Voevodsky's (tensor) triangulated category \(\mathrm{DM}^{\mathrm{gm}}(F; k)\) of geometric motives over a field \(F\), with coefficients \(k\). The authors focus on the tt-subcategory of geometric mixed Artin-Tate motives \(\mathrm{DATM}^{\mathrm{gm}} (F; k)\) (generated by the Tate objects \(k(i)\) and the Artin motives \(M (E)\), for \(E/F\) a finite separable extension). Moreover, they take \(F\) to be a real closed field (\(\mathbb{R}\) for this review) and concentrate largely upon the most interesting coefficients, \(k = \mathbb{Z}/2\). This extends work of the second author [\textit{M. Gallauer}, Compos. Math. 155, No. 10, 1888--1923 (2019; Zbl 1498.14049)] for the case \(F\) algebraically closed. Their main result shows that the spectrum (in the sense of [\textit{P. Balmer}, J. Reine Angew. Math. 588, 149--168 (2005; Zbl 1080.18007)]) of \(\mathrm{DATM}^{\mathrm{gm}} (\mathbb{R}; \mathbb{Z}/2)\) has six points, has Krull dimension two and has six irreducible closed subsets. They show that the lattice of closed subsets has fourteen points, hence \(\mathrm{DATM}^{\mathrm{gm}} (\mathbb{R}; \mathbb{Z}/2)\) has precisely fourteen tt-ideals. The spectrum has three `maximal' irreducible closed subsets; the authors represent these as the support of explicit Artin-Tate motives, corresponding to the three motives of the title. Using these results, they determine the spectrum of \(\mathrm{DATM}^{\mathrm{gm}} (\mathbb{R}; \mathbb{Z})\) (up to that of \(\mathrm{DATM}^{\mathrm{gm}} (\mathbb{R}; \mathbb{Q})\), which is conjectured to be a point); the most interesting part of the structure arises from \(\mathbb{Z}/2\)-coefficients. These results hint at the richness of motivic tensor-triangulated geometry. The main result is proved using analogous results for the modular representation theory of the cyclic group \(C_2\). The relationship is provided by the profound result of Positselski [\textit{L. Positselski}, Mosc. Math. J. 11, No. 2, 317--402 (2011; Zbl 1273.12004)], which exploits the Milnor conjecture (as proved by Voevodsky). Namely, for \(\mathcal{A}\) the category of finite-dimensional \(k C_2\)-modules, the authors consider the category \(\mathcal{A}^{\mathrm{fil}}_{\mathrm{ex}}\) of filtered objects in \(\mathcal{A}\), equipped with its `minimal' exact structure; this is a Frobenius exact category. Positselski established the equivalence \[ \mathrm{D}_b (\mathcal{A}^{\mathrm{fil}}_{\mathrm{ex}}) \stackrel{\simeq} {\rightarrow} \mathrm{DATM}^{\mathrm{gm}} (\mathbb{R}; \mathbb{Z}/2), \] where the domain is the bounded derived category of the exact category \( \mathcal{A}^{\mathrm{fil}}_{\mathrm{ex}}\). (The authors revisit some elements of the proof using alternative methods.) Although the equivalence is not known to preserve the tensor structure, it has sufficient structure to ensure that these tt-categories have the same spectrum, thus reducing to the study of the spectrum of \( \mathrm{D}_b (\mathcal{A}^{\mathrm{fil}}_{\mathrm{ex}}) \). The authors first identify the spectrum of the homotopy category \(\mathrm{K}_b (A)\) of bounded complexes in \(A\), which is a three point space (the more familiar spectrum of \(\mathrm{D}_b (\mathcal{A})\) identifies as a two-point open subset). They then analyse \(\mathrm{D}_b (\mathcal{A}^{\mathrm{fil}}_{\mathrm{ex}})\) by using two tt-functors, \(\mathrm{gr}\) and \(\widetilde{\mathrm{fgt}}\), from \(\mathrm{D}_b (\mathcal{A}^{\mathrm{fil}}_{\mathrm{ex}})\) to \(\mathrm{K}_b (A)\). The functor \(\mathrm{gr}\) is induced by passage to the associated graded whereas \(\widetilde{\mathrm{fgt}}\) is a `twisted' version of the functor induced by forgetting the filtration. An intricate and interesting analysis shows that these detect the six points of the spectrum of \(\mathrm{D}_b (\mathcal{A}^{\mathrm{fil}}_{\mathrm{ex}})\) and determines the topology.

For an element \(w\) in the Weyl group of \(\mathbf{G}\), Deligne and Lusztig constructed a finite étale morphism \(\pi: X(w) \to Y(w)\) that is \(\mathbf{G}^F\)-equivariant, as well as a compactification \(j: X(w) \hookrightarrow \bar{X}(w) \) à la Demazure. When \(w\) is a Coxeter element, \(\bar{X}(w)\) admits a stratification indexed by the \(F\)-stable parabolic subgroups: let \(\mathbf{P}\) be an \(F\)-stable parabolic with unipotent radical \(\mathbf{U}\), the corresponding stratum is \[ i_{\mathbf{P}}: \bar{X}_{\mathbf{P}}(w) := \bar{X}(w)^{\mathbf{U}^F} \to \bar{X}(w). \] Put \(\Lambda = \mathbb{Z}/\ell^m\) for some prime number \(\ell \neq p\) and \(m\). The pull-back \[ R\Gamma(X(w), \pi_* \Lambda) = R\Gamma( \bar{X}(w), Rj_* (\pi_*\Lambda) ) \to R\Gamma( \bar{X}_{\mathbf{P}}(w), i^*_{\mathbf{P}} Rj_* (\pi_*\Lambda) ) \] then induces a natural morphism \[ R\Gamma(X(w), \pi_* \Lambda)^{\mathbf{U}^F} \to R\Gamma( \bar{X}_{\mathbf{P}}(w), i^*_{\mathbf{P}} Rj_* (\pi_*\Lambda) ). \] In this paper, it is proved that the arrow above is an isomorphism when \(\mathbf{G} = \mathrm{GL}_d\). This result is motivated by the study of the cohomology of Drinfeld's symmetric space over a \(p\)-adic field \(K\) with residual field \(\mathbb{F}_q\), for which \(Rj_*(\pi_* \Lambda)\) appears as certain nearby cycles. Such issues are pertinent in the geometric realization of the local Langlands conjecture and the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence over \(K\).

The map \(f\) is necessarily finite and can only be ramified when \(X\) is uniruled. General results of \textit{F. Campana} [Invent. Math. 63, 187--223 (1981; Zbl 0436.32024)] and \textit{N. Nakayama} and \textit{D.-Q. Zhang} [Math. Ann. 346, No. 4, 991--1018 (2010; Zbl 1189.14043)] imply that the general fiber of the Iitaka fibration of a non-projective compact Kähler manifold \(X\) is not an elliptic curve, hence \(\kappa(X)\leq 1\). For \(X\) non-uniruled \(\kappa(X)\) equals zero or one and is used as classification parameter. If \(\kappa(X)=0\), then \(X\) is either a complex torus or an étale covering of a product \(E\times Y\), \(E\) an elliptic curve, \(Y\) bimeromorphic to a K3 surface. If \(\kappa(X)=1\), then \(X\) is an étale covering of a product \(C\times S\), either \(C\) a surface of general type and \(S\) a complex torus or \(C\) an elliptic curve and \(S\) an elliptic surface. The case \(X\) uniruled is more involved since \(f\) may be ramified. The algebraic dimension of \(X\) serves here as a classification parameter. \(X\) is an étale covering of a projectivized line bundle \(\mathbb P(E)\) over a complex torus \(A\) or a product \(S\times \mathbb P^1\), further details depending on \(a(X)\). The proofs are based on Mori theory for compact Kähler threefolds, see also [the second author, Math. Ann. 311, No. 4, 729--764 (1998; Zbl 0919.32016)].

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems The fundamental group of the complement of a singular plane curve introduced by Zariski is an interesting object to study in different areas in mathematics. One of the ways to study this object is to study the ramification curves of generic projections of surfaces. More precisely: Let \(S\) be a non-singular algebraic surface of degree \(\nu \) in \(\mathbb P^{3}\) (the field is algebraically closed of characteristic 0). and \(\pi : S \rightarrow \mathbb P^{2}\) be a projection with center \(0\in \mathbb P^{3}-S\). Let \(B\) be the branch curve of \(\pi \) having as singularities nodes and cusps. According to a conjecture of \textit{O. Chisini} [``Sulla identita birazionale di due funzioni algebriche di piu variabili, dotate di un a medesima varieta di diramazione'', (Italian) Ist. Lombardo Sci. Lett., Rend., Cl. Sci. Mat. Natur., III. Ser. 11(80), 3--6 (1949; Zbl 0041.28002)] the projection \(\pi \) is uniquely determined by \(B\) if \(\nu \geq 5\). This is proved by \textit{V. S. Kulikov} [``On Chisini's conjecture. II.'', Izv. Math. 72, No. 5, 901--913 (2008); translation from Izv. Ross. Akad. Nauk, Ser. Mat. 72, No. 5, 63--76 (2008; Zbl 1153.14012)] for \(\nu \geq 11\). This leads to study the problem whether a plane curve is obtained as the branch curve of a projection \(\pi \). For example, a plane sextic with six cusps is a branch curve of a generic projection if and only if its six cusps form a special 0-cycle on the plane. \textit{B. Segre}'s classical result [``Sulla caratterizzazione delle curve di diramazione dei piani multipli generali'', Memorie Accad. d'Italia, Roma 1; Mat. Nr. 4, 31 p. (1930; JFM 56.0562.01)] gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a plane curve to be a branch curve of a generic projection of a smooth surface in \( \mathbb P^{3}\). Segre proves that a nodal-cuspidal plane curve \(B\) of degree \(\nu (\nu - 1)\) with \(n(\nu )\) nodes and \(c(\nu )\) cusps is a branch curve of a generic projection of a smooth surface of degree \(\nu \geq 3\) in \( \mathbb P^{3}\) if and only if there are two adjoint curves of degrees \(a(\nu )\) and \(a(\nu ) + 1\) passing through the \(0\)-cycle of singularities of \(B\) and having separated tangents and these singularities. The article under review gives a different proof for Segre's result in terms of Picard and Chow groups of \(0\)-cycles on a singular plane curve \(B\). And, the Appendix, written by Shustin, presents a new pair \((B,C)\) of \textit{O. Zariski} [``On the problem of existence of algebraic functions of two variables possessing a given branch curve'', Amer. J. 51, 305--328 (1929; JFM 55.0806.01)] where \(B\) denotes a branch curve of a smooth surface \(S\) in \( \mathbb P^{3}\) and \(C\) denotes a nodal cuspidal curve which is not a branch curve. branch curve; adjoint curves; \(0\)-cycles; Zariski pairs Friedman, M., Leyenson, M.: On ramified covers of the projective plane I: Segre's theory and classification in small degrees (with an appendix by Eugenii Shustin).

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems In this paper the authors study dihedral covers of smooth varieties, in particular they provide a structure theorem (Section 5) for the Galois coverings \(\pi: X\to Y\), with \(Y\) smooth and Galois group the dihedral group \(D_n\) of order \(2n\). Given a smooth variety \(Y\), they describe the algebraic ``building data'' on \(Y\) which are equivalent to the existence of such covers \(\pi:X\to Y\).\newline The underlying idea is to factor \(\pi: X\to Y\) as the composition of a cyclic covering of order \(n\), \(p: X\to Z:=X/H\), (\(H \subset D_n\) is the group of rotations) and a (singular) double covering \(q:Z\to Y\). A technical novelty here consists in describing Weil divisors and the Picard group of divisorial sheaves on a normal double cover \(Z\) (Section 3). They also describe in detail the special case of Picard group of hyperelliptic curves (Section 4). In the second part of the paper (Section 6 and 7) the authors concentrate on two very explicit classes of dihedral covers of algebraic varieties: the \textit{simple} and the \textit{almost simple} dihedral covers. A simple dihedral covering \(X\) is contained in a rank two split vector bundle of the form \(\mathbb L\oplus \mathbb L\) over \(Y\), and is defined by equations \[ \begin{cases} u^n+v^n= 2a \,, & a\in H^0(\mathcal{O}_Y(nL)),\\ uv= F \,, & F\in H^0(\mathcal{O}_Y(2L)). \end{cases} \] The dihedral action is generated by an element \(\sigma\) of order \(n\) such that \(u\mapsto \xi u\,, v \mapsto\xi^{-1}\), where \(\xi\) is a primitive \(n\)-th root of \(1\), and and by an involution \(\tau\) exchanging \(u\) with \(v\). The authors prove that the branch locus is the divisor \(B = \{a^2 - F^n = 0\}\); \(X\) is smooth if \(B\) is smooth outside of \(F = 0\) and the two divisors \(\{a = 0\}\) and \(\{F = 0\}\) intersect transversally.\newline The almost simple dihedral covers are defined on the fibre product of two \(\mathbb P^1\)-bundles: \(X\) is the subset of \(\mathbb P(\underline {\mathbb C} \oplus \mathbb L)\times _Y\mathbb P(\underline {\mathbb C} \oplus \mathbb L)\) defined by the equations: \[ \begin{cases} u_1v_1-u_0v_0F=0\,,& F\in H^0(\mathcal{O}_Y(2L))\,,\\ a_\infty v_1^nu_0^n-2a_0v_0^n u_0^n+a_\infty v_0^n u_1^n=0 \,, & a_0\in H^0(\mathcal{O}_Y(A_0)), a_\infty\in H^0(\mathcal{O}_Y(A_\infty)) \end{cases} \] where, \(v_1, u_1\) are fibre coordinates on the geometric line bundle \(\mathbb L\to Y\), \(v_0, u_0\) are fibre coordinates on the trivial geometric line bundle \(\underline {\mathbb C} =Y\times \mathbb C \to Y\), and \(A_0, A_\infty\) are effective divisors on \(Y\) such that \(A_0\equiv nL+A_\infty\), \(A_\infty=\{a_\infty=0\}\) and \(A_0=\{a_0=0\}\). The dihedral group \(D_n\) acts on \(X\) in the following way: \[ \begin{aligned} \sigma([u_0:u_1],[v_0:v_1]) =([u_0:\xi u_1],[v_0:\xi^{-1}v_1])\,\\ \tau([u_0:u_1],[v_0:v_1])= ([v_0,v_1],[u_0:u_1])\,. \end{aligned} \] The authors prove that the branch locus is the divisor \(B = \{a_\infty(a_0^2-a_\infty^2 F^n )= 0\}\); \(X\) is smooth if the locus \(\{a_0^2-a_\infty^2 F^n = 0\}\) is smooth outside of \(F = 0\), \(A_0\) intersects transversally \(\{F = 0\}\) , \(A_0\cap A_\infty = \emptyset\) and \(A_\infty\) is smooth.

S is said to be a log del Pezzo surface if S has only quotient singularities and the anticanonical bundle \(-K_ S\) is ample. The rank of S is the Picard rank \(\rho (S)=\dim_{{\mathbb{Q}}}Pic(S)\otimes {\mathbb{Q}}\). Moreover S is Gorenstein, i.e. \(K_ S\) is a Cartier divisor, if and only if S has only rational double points provided S is a log del Pezzo surface. The main result of the paper is the following theorem: Let S be a Gorenstein log del Pezzo surface. Suppose that S is either minimal or singular. Then S is a Gorenstein, algebraic compactification of the affine plane if and only if the smooth locus \(S^ 0\) is simply connected. In the case when S is a Gorenstein log del Pezzo surface of rank 1, the authors compute explicitly the fundamental group \(\pi_ 1(S^ 0)\), \(S^ 0=S-Sing(S)\), as well as the group \(H^ 2(S^ 0,{\mathbb{Z}})/H^ 2(S,{\mathbb{Z}})\).

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems The present paper is devoted to the study of general properties of the moduli spaces of surfaces of general type (i.e., given a minimal model S of a surface of general type, one looks at the moduli space M(S) parametrizing all the isomorphism classes of complex structures on the 4- dimensional oriented compact topological manifold underlying S: M(S) is a quasi projective variety by a theorem of \textit{D. Gieseker} [Invent. Math. 43, 233-282 (1977; Zbl 0389.14006)]. Theorem A proves that for each natural number n there are positive integers \(d_ 1<d_ 2<...<d_ n\) and a surface of general type S such that M(S) has irreducible components \(Y_ 1,...,Y_ n\) of respective dimensions \(d_ 1,...,d_ n\) (this is in sharp contrast with the case of a curve C of genus \(g\geq 2\) where M(C) is irreducible of dimension 3g- 3). In view of this result, in the paper is given an upper bound for the dimension of an irreducible component of M(S), to wit, if d(S) is the dimension of M(S) at the point corresponding to S, theorem B proves that d(S) is at most \(10\chi +3c^ 2_ 1+108,\) and (theorem C) at most \(10\chi +q+1\) if S contains a smooth canonical curve (where \(\chi =1- q+p_ g,\) one should notice that \(\chi\), q, \(c^ 2_ 1\) are topological invariants, in fact, and that a lower bound for d(S) is given by the Kodaira-Spencer-Kuranishi theory of deformations, giving: d(S) is at least \(10\chi -2c^ 2_ 1).\) Finally, the last chapter studies irregular surfaces without irrational pencils, since in the literature there are scattered correct and incorrect results: using some of these results, \textit{G. Castelnuovo} claimed [Atti. Accad. Naz. Lincei, VIII. Ser., Rend., CE. Sci. Fiz. Mat. Nat. 7, 3-11 (1949; Zbl 0035.372)] that for those surfaces d(S) is at most \(p_ g+2q\). In this paper a counterexample is given (showing that at least, asymptotically on \(p_ g\), the coefficient 4 is needed in front of \(p_ g)\), but theorem D proves that if q is at least 3, and there exist 2 holomorphic 1-forms whose wedge product defines a reduced irreducible curve, then d(S) is at most \(p_ g+3q-3\), and moreover \(c^ 2_ 1\) is at least 6\(\chi\). The first chapter deals with smooth Galois covers with abelian group, studying their fundamental groups [the method used is to prove that the fundamental group of the complement of the branch locus is abelian: theorem 1.6 is, for instance, a generalization of a previous result of \textit{R. Mandelbaum} and \textit{B. Moishezon}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 260, 195-222 (1980; Zbl 0465.57014), but has, in the meantime, been further generalized by Nori]. The main ingredients to prove theorem A are a careful study of the deformations of Galois covers in the special case where the group is \(({\mathbb{Z}}/2)^ 2\), plus an application of Freedman's result on diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds [\textit{M. H. Freedman}, J. Differ. Geom. 17, 357-453 (1982; Zbl 0528.57011)], and a number-theoretic lemma proved by \textit{E. Bombieri} in the appendix to this paper: in fact, the surfaces considered for theorem A, are just \(({\mathbb{Z}}/2)^ 2\) Galois covers of \({\mathbb{P}}^ 1\times {\mathbb{P}}^ 1\). upper bound for the dimension of an irreducible component of moduli space; abelian fundamental group of the complement of the branch locus; moduli spaces of surfaces of general type; deformations of Galois covers Catanese, F., On the moduli spaces of surfaces of general type, \textit{J.

Beauville} [Invent. Math. 55, 121--140 (1979; Zbl 0403.14006)] if the canonical image of a smooth surface of general type \(X\) is a surface \(\Sigma\), denoting by \(S\) a minimal desingularization of \(\Sigma\), either \(p_g(S)=0\) or the resolution map \(S \to \Sigma\) is the canonical map of \(S\). It is very easy to construct examples with \(p_g(S)=0\), but it is much more difficult to give examples of the latter case with degree \(d \geq 2\), being \(d\) the degree of the canonical map of \(X\): in this case the dominant rational map \(X \rightarrow S\) is called a {good canonical cover} of degree \(d\). Beauville in the above mentioned paper could give only one example, and its paper motivated many authors in constructing other examples of good canonical covers. In this paper the authors construct three sequences of good canonical covers of degree \(2\) with \(X\) regular and unbounded invariants \(p_g\) and \(K^2\). Only sporadic examples of surfaces with these properties were previously known. Sequences of examples were already known, but only of irregular surfaces. For example, the same authors [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa, Cl. Sci., IV. Ser. 29, No. 4, 905--938 (2000; Zbl 1016.14020)] gave a method for constructing infinite sequences of good canonical covers with \(d=2\), but all examples constructed by this method have \(q(X)\geq 2\). Roughly speaking, the authors' idea is to find actions of a group \(G\) on some of those good canonical covers \(X \rightarrow S\), {killing the irregularity} of \(X\) and letting the quotient \(X/G \rightarrow S/G\) remain a good canonical cover. They could find three sequences of examples, always using the group \(G=\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}\). In the last section they could show that in one of these three cases the surface \(X\) is simply connected. canonical maps; double covers Surfaces of general type, Coverings in algebraic geometry Regular canonical covers

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems Let \(X\) be a smooth complex projective variety. A classical question asks for a description of \(X\) admitting surjective ramified endomorphisms \(f: X \to X\) of degree \(d\geq 2\). In the paper under review the authors prove that \(X\) must be uniruled and investigate the case of Fano manifolds of Picard number \(\rho(X)=1\). It is conjectured that, if \(X\) is a Fano manifold with \(\rho(X)=1\) and \(f: X \to X\) is an endomorphism of degree \(>1\), then \(X={\mathbb P}^n\). This conjecture has been proved (i) in case of surfaces, (ii) in case of threefolds by \textit{E. Amerik, M. Rovinsky} and \textit{A. Van de Ven} [Ann. Inst. Fourier 49, No. 2, 405--415 (1999; Zbl 0923.14008)], \textit{J.-M. Hwang} and \textit{N. Mok} [J. Algebr. Geom. 12, 627--651 (2003; Zbl 1038.14018)], \textit{C. Schuhmann} [J. Algebr. Geom. 8, 221--244 (1999; Zbl 0970.14022)], (iii) in case of rational homogeneous manifolds by \textit{J.-M. Hwang} and \textit{N. Mok} [Invent. Math. 136, 209--231 (1999; Zbl 0963.32007)], \textit{K. H. Paranjape} and \textit{V. Srinivas} [Invent. Math. 98, 425--444 (1989; Zbl 0697.14037)], (iv) in case of toric varieties by \textit{G. Occhetta} and \textit{J. A. Wiśniewski} [Math. Z. 241, 35--44 (2002; Zbl 1022.14016)], (v) in case of varieties containing a rational curve with trivial normal bundle by Hwang and Mok [Zbl 1038.14018]. Let \({\mathcal E}_f\) be the vector bundle canonically associated to \(f\). In the paper under review the authors prove the conjecture if one of the following holds: (i) \({\mathcal E}_{f_k}\) is ample for some iterate \(f_k\) of \(f\) and \(h^0(X,f_k^*(T_X))>h^0(X,T_X)\); (ii) \(f\) is Galois and \(h^0(X,f_k^*(T_X))>h^0(X,T_X)\) for some \(k\); (iii) \(X\) is almost-homogeneous and \(h^0(X,T_X)>\dim X\) and \({\mathcal E}_{f_k}\) is ample for sufficiently large \(k\). Moreover, they prove that, if \(X\) is a Fano manifold with \(\rho(X)=1\) and \(f: X \to X\) is an endomorphism of degree \(d\), then \(d=1\) if one of the following holds: (i) the index of \(X\) is \(\leq 2\) and there exists a line in \(X\) not contained in the branch locus of \(f\); (ii) \(X\) satisfies the Cartan--Fubini condition, \(X\) is almost homogeneous and \(h^0(X,T_X)>\dim X\); (iii) \(X\) satisfies the Cartan--Fubini condition, \(X\) is almost homogeneous and either branch or the ramification divisor of \(f\) meets the open orbit of \(\text{Aut}^0(X)\); (iv) \(X\) is a del Pezzo manifold of degree \(5\). The basic idea is to study a ramified finite covering \(f\) of degree \(d\) through the properties of \({\mathcal E}_f\), which tends to inherit positivity properties from the ramification divisor. In particular, when \(f: X \to Y\) is a Galois covering of projective manifolds which does not factor through an étale covering (this is the case, for instance, for Fano manifolds with \(\rho(X)=1\)) and all irreducible components of the ramification divisor are ample, they prove that \({\mathcal E}_f\) is ample. Moreover, if \(X\) is a projective manifold with \(\rho(X)=1\) and if \({\mathcal F}\subset T_X\), a coherent subsheaf of positive rank, is ample, they prove that \(X\) is isomorphic to the projective space, generalizing a theorem of \textit{M.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems The Severi inequality is a theorem claimed first by \textit{F. Severi} in [Comment. Math. Helv. 4, 268--326 (1932; Zbl 0005.17602)], stating that any minimal surface of general type \(S\) of maximal Albanese dimension, i.e., such that the image of the Albanese morphism is a surface, has canonical degree \(K^2_S\) not smaller than \(4\) times the Euler characteristic \(\chi({\mathcal O}_S)\). Severi's original proof was wrong [\textit{F. Catanese}, Lect. Notes Math. 997, 90--112 (1983; Zbl 0517.14011); \textit{M. Reid}, Lect. Notes Math. 732, 534--544 (1979; Zbl 0423.14021)] and therefore the Severi inequality became a conjecture, and remained such for almost 30 years, up to \textit{R. Pardini}'s proof in [Invent. Math. 159, No. 3, 669--672 (2005; Zbl 1082.14041)]. It is a general principle in the geography of surface of general type that, when an inequality is true, the surfaces for which the inequality is an equality should be ``simpler'', and therefore a classification of them is (obviously) interesting and (maybe) possible. So, once the Severi inequality is proved, it is natural to try to attack a classification of the surfaces on the Severi line, that is of the minimal surfaces of general type \(S\) with maximal Albanese dimension \(2\) and \(K^2_S=4\chi({\mathcal O}_S)\). Unfortunately, since the argument of Pardini's is based on a limit procedure, is not easily usable to get informations on the surfaces on the Severi line. In this paper, the authors classify these surfaces, showing that the canonical models of surfaces on the Severi line are exactly the surfaces with irregularity \(2\) arising as double covers of an abelian surface with ample branch divisor having only simple singularities. The main tools are a covering trick already used in Pardini's proof and the properties of the continuous rank ([\textit{M. A. Barja}, Duke Math. J. 164, No. 3, 541--568 (2015; Zbl 1409.14013)]). The same result has been obtained independently at the same time by \textit{X. Lu} and \textit{K. Zuo} [``On the Severi type inequalities for irregular surfaces'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1504.06569}] with a different proof. It is worth mentioning that \textit{M. Manetti} had proved in [Math. Nachr. 261--262, 105--122 (2003; Zbl 1044.14017)] the same result under the additional hypothesis that \(K_S\) ist ample. Manetti's paper, that appeared few years before Pardini's proof, contains in fact a proof of the Severi inequality under this further assumption. surfaces of general type; Severi inequality; étale coverings; irregular varieties Barja, M.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems In this paper the authors study certain Galois covers \(X_{\mathcal L}(n)\) of the projective plane with group \((\mathbb Z/n)^r\) branched in a configuration \(\mathcal L\) of \(r+1\) lines. The minimal resolution of \(X_{\mathcal L}(n)\) is known as the Hirzebruch-Kummer cover \(HK(n,\mathcal L)\). The first interesting example occurs for the complete quadrangle \(\mathcal C \mathcal Q\) and \(n=5\). The surface \(HK(5,\mathcal C \mathcal Q)\) as shown by Hirzebruch, is a ball quotient, in particular a rigid surface admitting a Hermitian metric with strongly negative curvature. In a previous work, the authors could prove that the surface \(HK(n,\mathcal C \mathcal Q)\) is rigid if and only if \(n \geq 4\). Since the rigidity of the cover implies the rigidity of the line configuration, it is natural to ask, if \(HK(n,\mathcal L)\) is a rigid surface for any rigid configuration \(\mathcal L\) and \(n\) sufficiently large. In the first part of the paper the rigidity of the equisingular deformations of \(X_{\mathcal L}(n)\) is established under the assumption that the configuration is singularly saturated, meaning that it has at least four singular points, each line in the configuration contains at least two singular points and the line defined by any two singular points belongs to the configuration. About the question of the existence of a metric with negative curvature very few is known. In fact it is only settled for \(\mathcal C \mathcal Q\) in the special case where \(5\) divides \(n\), thanks to the work of \textit{F. Zheng} [Commun. Anal. Geom. 7, No. 4, 755--786 (1999; Zbl 0937.53036)]. Motivated by this question, the authors establish in the second part of the paper explicit equations for \(HK(n,\mathcal C \mathcal Q)\) as a submanifold of the product of four Fermat curves of degree \(n\). Their idea is to consider \(HK(n,\mathcal C \mathcal Q)\) as a cover of the blowup of the plane in the four points of the complete quadrangle, which is the Del Pezzo surface of degree \(5\). They first derive determinantal equations for the Del Pezzo surfaces of degree \(9-k \leq 6\) as submanifolds of \((\mathbb P^1)^k\). Then they use the equations for the Del Pezzo of degree \(5\), together with the natural \((\mathbb Z/n)^2\) cover from the Fermat curve of degree \(n\) to the projective line, to derive also equations for \(HK(n,\mathcal C \mathcal Q)\). rigid complex manifolds and varieties; branched coverings; Hirzebruch Kummer coverings; deformation theory; configurations of lines; del Pezzo surfaces Local deformation theory, Artin approximation, etc., Moduli, classification: analytic theory; relations with modular forms, Surfaces of general type, Fano varieties, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Vanishing theorems in algebraic geometry, Deformations of complex structures, Equisingularity (topological and analytic), Compact complex surfaces, Arrangements of points, flats, hyperplanes (aspects of discrete geometry) Del Pezzo surfaces, rigid line configurations and Hirzebruch-Kummer coverings.

A graph \(\Gamma\) is called \textit{perfect} if there exist integer weights \(n_ i\) on the vertices of \(\Gamma\) for which \(\Gamma (n_ 1,...,n_ k)\) is the weighted dual intersection graph of the minimal resolution of a perfect surface singularity whose minimal resolution is normal. In this paper we use techniques for graphical evaluation of determinants to characterize most kinds of perfect graphs and to relate this problem to Diophantine questions involving partial fraction representations of integers. These questions, in turn, have independent interest in number theory, involving techniques of continued fractions and Egyptian fractions. weighted dual intersection graph of the minimal resolution of a perfect surface singularity; Diophantine questions; partial fraction representations; continued fractions; Egyptian fractions Brenton, D.; Drucker, D., Perfect graphs and complex surface singularities with perfect local fundamental group, Tohoku Math.

We show that the field of moduli of a \(p\)-adic cover will be a field of definition provided that the residue characteristic \(p\) does not divide \(| G|\) and that the branch points do not coalesce modulo \(p\) (or in the more general case, that the branch locus is smooth on the special fibre). Hence if \(p\) does not divide \(| G|\), then a \(G\)-Galois cover of the \(\overline \mathbb{Q}\)-line with field of moduli \(\mathbb{Q}\) will be defined over a number field contained in \(\mathbb{Q}_p\) if the branch points do not coalesce modulo \(p\). This provides an explicit global-to-local principle for \(p\)-adic covers.

The authors identify iterated function systems \(\Phi\) on a metric space \(X\) and regular Borel measures \(\mu\) such that the matrix subdivision process relative to a finite family \(\mathcal A\) converges. They give a characterization of the convergence of the subdivision process to a function in \(L_p(\Omega,\mu)\) in terms of the spectral properties of \(\mathcal A\). First, they give a description of subdivision schemes and the definition of convergence with observations on convergent subdivision schemes. Then, they define and discuss the concept of \(\mu\)-uniformity of a family of contractions for any \(\mu\)-measurable set.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems As it is well-known, special real-valued solutions \(u(x,t)\) of the famous Korteweg-de Vries equation \[ u_t = 6uu_x - u_{xxx} \] can be constructed from hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces of genus \(g\) and their Riemann theta functions (with respect to a period matrix \(B)\) by the formula \[ u(x,t) = - 2 {\partial^2 \over \partial x^2} \ln \theta (Ux + Vt + W,B) + C, \] where \(U,V\) and \(W\) are certain complex \(g\)- vectors and \(C\) is a constant. These solutions appear as quasi-periodic potentials of the Schrödinger operators \[ H(t) = - {\partial^2 \over \partial x^2} + u(x,t) \] which, in turn, define the KdV equation as an operator equation in Lax form. The basic question of reduction theory is the following: Under what conditions, for the chosen hyperelliptic Riemann surface \(\Gamma_g\) and the data \(U,V,W\) and \(B\), is the so- called \(g\)-gap potential \(u(x,t)\) defined above reducible to such ones described in terms of elliptic functions? Generally, this is the problem of reducing Riemann theta functions and Abelian integrals to those in lower genus, especially in genus one, and in this setting it is a classic topic developed by Weierstrass, Poincaré, and others afterwards. In a whole series of previous papers, published between 1982 and 1989, the authors have investigated this problem for \(g\)-gap potentials under various aspects. A rather comprehensive account of their work can be found in their (and other co-authors') recent monograph, there mainly in Chapter 7 [\textit{E. D. Belokolos}, \textit{A. I. Bobenko}, \textit{V. Z. Enol'skij}, \textit{A. R. Its} and \textit{V. B. Matveev}, Algebro-geometric approach to nonlinear integrable equations (1994; Zbl 0809.35001)]. The present paper may be regarded as a (nearly self-contained) continuation of their earlier work, with special emphasis on the reduction of \(g\)-gap potentials to elliptic ones, including the classical Lamé potential and the more recent Treibich-Verdier potentials [\textit{A. Treibich} and \textit{J.-L. Verdier}, Solitons elliptiques (1990; Zbl 0726.14024)]. The exposition is very lucid and detailed, partly a sort of systematic survey on the topic as a whole, however enhanced by several new results in reduction theory and numerous concrete examples. theta functions; elliptic functions; reduction theory; algebraic curves; Schrödinger operator; KdV-like equations; Lamé equation E.

These surfaces are allowed to be reducible and to have isolated and non-isolated singularities of certain specified types, more general than those considered in the paper of \textit{S. Cynk} and \textit{T. Szemberg} [in: Singularities Symposium-Łojasiewicz 70, Cracow 1996, and Seminar Singularities and Geometry, Warsaw 1996, Banach Cent. Publ. 44, 93-101 (1998; Zbl 0915.14025)]. The main result of this paper states (similar to the paper of Cynk and Szemberg) the existence of a resolution of such a double solid which is Calabi--Yau. The topological Euler number is computed for such manifolds and a table is presented, which shows the possible values. Using the methods and results of the paper of Cynk and Szemberg mentioned above and by allowing isolated singularities on the branch octic, the author is able to fill most of the gaps in the table of possible Euler numbers which was presented in his joint paper with T.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems For X a scheme of finite type over some base ring R, the group \(\pi_ 1^{ab}(X)\) classifies the abelian unramified coverings of X. As in the class field theory of number fields, the primary goal for schemes is to obtain a description of \(\pi_ 1^{ab}(X)\) solely in terms of X itself, via some kind of ''reciprocity'' map. When R is a finite field, Lang in 1956, defined a reciprocity map from \(Z_ 0(X)\), the free abelian group on the closed points, and showed that for normal X the map had a dense image. Subsequent work led to the study of \(CH_ 0(X)\), the 0- dimensional Chow group of X, which for smooth projective varieties over a field is \(Z_ 0(X)\) modulo rational equivalence, and which in general can be defined using algebraic K-theory. It turns out that for X proper over \({\mathbb{Z}}\), there is a reciprocity map from \(CH_ 0(X)\) to the quotient \({\tilde \pi}{}_ 1^{ab}(X)\) of \(\pi_ 1^{ab}(X)\) which classifies the unramified abelian covers that split completely over any real valued point of X. (For schemes over finite fields, this quotient is just \(\pi_ 1^{ab}(X).)\) The main part of the current paper studies arithmetical surfaces, that is, proper smooth surfaces over finite fields, or connected regular surfaces which are proper and flat over \({\mathbb{Z}}\). For surfaces over finite fields, the degree map exhibits \(CH_ 0(X)\) as an extension of \({\mathbb{Z}}\) by \(CH_ 0(X)^ 0\), the subgroup of degree 0 cycle classes. Correspondingly, there is a map from \(\pi_ 1^{ab}(X)\) onto \({\hat {\mathbb{Z}}}\), the Galois group of the algebraic closure of the ground field. Call \(\pi_ 1^{ab}(X)^ 0\) the kernel of this map. In 1981 \textit{N. Katz} and \textit{S. Lang} [Enseign. Math., II. Sér. 27, 285-319 (1981; Zbl 0495.14011)] showed that \(\pi_ 1^{ab}(X)^ 0\) is finite, while work of Bloch and Milne established the finiteness of \(CH_ 0(X)^ 0\). Milne further established the p-primary injectivity of the reciprocity map \(CH_ 0(X)\to \pi_ 1^{ab}(X),\) assuming a certain condition on X. In this paper the authors show that for any smooth projective geometrically irreducible scheme over a finite field, the reciprocity map is always injective, and induces an isomorphism of the finite groups \(CH_ 0(X)^ 0\) and \(\pi_ 1^{ab}(X)^ 0\) so that, roughly speaking, \(\pi_ 1^{ab}(X)\) is obtained from \(CH_ 0(X)\) by replacing \({\mathbb{Z}}\) by \({\hat {\mathbb{Z}}}\). According to the authors, they had originally obtained these results for surfaces, and an elegant induction argument of Colliot-Thélène established the general case. For X a regular connected surface proper and flat over \({\mathbb{Z}}\), the main result established in this paper is that the reciprocity map \(CH_ 0(X)\to {\tilde \pi}_ 1^{ab}(X)\) is an isomorphism of finite abelian groups. Earlier, Bloch had proved this result in the case X is smooth over the ring of integers in a number field. To establish the unramified class field theory of arithmetical surfaces X in general, the authors concentrate on a fibration \(X\to C\), where C is a one dimensional scheme, and where the fibration may have singular fibres. In essence, the authors are able to improve on the earlier results of Bloch and Milne because they have a technique for treating the class field theory of a singular curve over a local field.

Let \(\mu:S'\to S\) be an embedded resolution of singularities for the germ at \(P\) of the pair \((S,D)\). Denote by \(K_S\) and \(K_{S'}\) the canonical divisors of \(S\) and \(S'\).

Assume that \((S,D)\) is log terminal at \(P\) and let \(r\) be the minimal positive integer such that \({\mathcal O}_S (r(K_S+D))\) is Cartier. For each nowhere vanishing section \(\theta\) of \({\mathcal O}_S (r(K_S+D))\) there is an index 1 cover associated to \(\theta\), \(\pi:T\to S\).

These are precisely the quartic double solids constructed by Artin and Mumford as examples of unirational but nonrational conic bundles. With such a quartic surface \(D\), one can associate an Enriques surface \(S\) which is the factor of the blowup of \(D\) by a natural involution acting without fixed points (such Enriques surfaces are known as nodal Enriques surfaces or Reye congruences). We show that the nontrivial part of the derived category of coherent sheaves on this Enriques surface \(S\) is equivalent to the nontrivial part of the derived category of a minimal resolution of singularities of \(X\).

They prove that the general member of a deformation of the canonical morphism of \(X\) with base a smooth curve is again canonical and induces a triple cover. Giving explicit examples, they also find components of the moduli of threefolds \(X\) of general type with \( K^3_X= 3p_g- 9\), \(K^3_X \neq 6\), whose general members correspond to canonical triple covers. In the paper under review the authors also prove that for an algebraic surface of general type, there are no canonical triple covers of rational scrolls \(Y\) or a quadric surface \(\mathbb Q_2\) or non-linearly embedded \(\mathbb P^2\), whether they are embedded as a variety of minimal degree or not. They give special emphasis on those \(Y\) which are varieties of minimal degree because this case does not occur in either curves or surfaces. Indeed, the degree of the canonical morphism for curves is bounded by 2, and there are no odd degree canonical covers of smooth surfaces of minimal degree other than linear \(\mathbb P^2\) as shown in [\textit{F.

He also gives an example (of dimension 3) of a triple cover which is not of triple section type. For related topics, we refer to the following articles: \textit{R. Miranda} [Am. J.

The authors identify iterated function systems \(\Phi\) on a metric space \(X\) and regular Borel measures \(\mu\) such that the matrix subdivision process relative to a finite family \(\mathcal A\) converges. They give a characterization of the convergence of the subdivision process to a function in \(L_p(\Omega,\mu)\) in terms of the spectral properties of \(\mathcal A\). First, they give a description of subdivision schemes and the definition of convergence with observations on convergent subdivision schemes. Then, they define and discuss the concept of \(\mu\)-uniformity of a family of contractions for any \(\mu\)-measurable set. Finally, they prove that the subdivision scheme converges exponentially fast and its limit function enjoys Hölder regularity. spectral radius; iterated function systems; subdivision scheme --------, Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems , Proc.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems Given a Riemann surface \(X\) and an orientation-preserving involution \(\sigma\) of \(X\), one considers the double cover \(\pi: \tilde{X} \rightarrow X\) with a lifted involution \(\tilde{\sigma}\) of \(\tilde{X}\). The surface \(\tilde{X}/ \tilde{\sigma}\) is called a twist of the surface \((X, \sigma)\). This paper is devoted to study torus twists, that is to say, twists \(\tilde{X} / \tilde{\sigma}\) of genus \(1\). The surface \(X\) is presented by edge-identified polygons in the complex plane. If all identifications are translations, the surface is called a translation surface, and otherwise a half-translation surface. If one selects a one-form on \(X\), it twists into a quadratic differential. When a quadratic differential is not the square of a one-form, it is called strict. The main result of the paper is that torus twists of a hyperelliptic translation surface are strict quadratic differentials. The work ends by listing all covers and quotients of surfaces of genus \(2\). The moduli space of translation surfaces of genus 2 is stratified in two strata, corresponding to surfaces with a single cone point of order \(2\), and to surfaces with two cone points of order 1. Surfaces in the first stratum are represented by a Swiss cross, and those in the second one by a regular decagon. All the possible covers in either case are listed in an Appendix. translation surfaces; quadratic differential; hyperelliptic surfaces; Riemann surfaces; branched covers; torus-twists Coverings in algebraic geometry, Differentials on Riemann surfaces Hyperelliptic translation surfaces and folded tori

Math. 88, 437-480 (1990; Zbl 0726.14024); ``Variétés de Kritchever de solitons elliptiques'', in Proc. Indo-French Conf. Geometry, Bombay 1989)], which were devoted to the study of the structure of the solutions of the KdV equation called elliptic solitons. To a hyperelliptic curve \(C\) of genus \(g\), equipped with a double point \(p\) of the hyperelliptic involution and a divisor \(D\) of degree \(g-1\), is associated a meromorphic function \(u\) on the complex plane, which is a so-called potential with a finite number of instability zones, and from which the triple \((C,p,D)\) can be recovered (the Schrödinger equation with potential \(u\) on the plane has a family of eigenfunctions parametrized by \(C\) with poles at \(D)\). The function associated with the divisor \((g-1)p\) is called the source potential. This paper is concerned with the case where \(C\) is a ``tangential at \(p\)'' covering of an elliptic curve \(E\). Here ``tangential at \(p\)'' means that the images of \(C\) and \(E\) in Jac\(C\) by the morphisms defined by \(p\) are tangent at the origin. The potentials associated to such a covering ``live'' on \(E\) and are combinations of Weierstrass functions there. To each such tangential covering of an elliptic curve by a hyperelliptic one is associated naturally a four-tuple of (intersection) numbers. And some of these four-tuples determine (for each \(E)\) a unique such tangential hyperelliptic covering. These are the so-called exceptional coverings. The paper studies the above correspondence between ``exceptional'' four- tuples and combinations of Weierstrass functions, characterizing in particular those combinations which are reached by source potentials. The formulas describing this picture are full of triangular numbers, whence the title.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems This paper uses the theory of gerbes developed by Giraud. We first outline some of the definitions needed. Let \(K\) be a field and \(B\) be a regular projective geometrically irreducible \(K\)-variety. A gerbe \({\mathcal G}(f)\) is assigned to each finite branched cover \(f: X\to B\) defined over the separable closure \(K_{s}\) of \(K\). Let \(G(K)\) be the group of this cover \(f\) and \(N\) the normalizer of \(G(K)\) in \(S_{d}\), where \(d\) is the degree of \(f\). If the usual map \(\lambda : G(K)\to N/CG(K)\), where \(CG(K)\) is the centralizer of \(G(K)\) in \(N\), lifts to a map \(\Lambda : G(K)\to N/G(K)\), then one says that the (\(\lambda\)/Lift)-condition holds. Let \(\phi :\Pi_{K_{s}}\to G\) be the morphism associated to \(f\). Here \(\Pi_{K_{s}}\) is the arithmetic fundamental group. The field \(K\) is the field of moduli of \(f\) if the ramification locus is \(G(K)\)-invariant and, for each \(u\in\Pi_{K}\), there is a \(\psi_{u}\in N\) such that \(\phi (x^{u}) = \phi(x)^{\psi_{u}}\) for all \(x\in \Pi_{K_{s}}\). Suppose now that the (\(\lambda\)/Lift)-condition holds and \(K\) is the field of moduli of \(f\). The main theorem of the paper, given the context by the above statements, shows that the following are equivalent: (i) the gerbe \({\mathcal G}(f)\) is neutral, (ii) the cover \(f\) can be defined over \(K\) with \(\Lambda\) as constant extension map, (iii) the class \([{\mathcal G}(f)_{\Lambda}]\), viewed as an element of \(H^{2}(K,Z(G))\), is trivial. gerbes; covers; Galois cohomology; variety; moduli field Dèbes, P.; Douai, J. -C.: Gerbes and covers.

This inequality has a long history (see the review of [\textit{R. Pardini}, Invent. Math. 159, No. 3, 669--672 (2005; Zbl 1082.14041)] and it was finally proven by \textit{R. Pardini} [Invent. Math. 159, No. 3, 669--672 (2005; Zbl 1082.14041)] in characteristic zero. Later \textit{X. Yuan} and \textit{T. Zhang} [Adv. Math. 259, 89--115 (2014; Zbl 1297.14045)] proved that the result holds in every characteristic. \textit{M. Á. Barja} et al. [J. Math. Pures Appl.

Not. 2019, No. 1, 231--248 (2019; Zbl 1430.14079)] showed (with completely different proofs) that in characteristic zero a minimal smooth projective surface of maximal Albanese dimension satisfies \(K_S^2= 4\chi (\mathcal O_S)\) if and only if \(q(X)=2\) and the canonical model of \(X\) is a double cover of \(\mathrm{Alb}(X)\) branched on an ample divisor with at most negligible singularities. The present paper extends to every characteristic of the ground field this result. The proof uses both ideas of Pardini and of Lu and Zuo and the authors need to establish several difficult technical results with special focus in characteristic 2 where as usual many difficulties arise. algebraic surface of general type; Severi inequality; Severi line; double covers; irregular varieties; maximal Albanese dimension Surfaces of general type, Special surfaces, Coverings in algebraic geometry Surfaces on the Severi line in positive characteristic

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems Over the past thirty years, cohomological support varieties have seen extensive study and played a key role in the development of modular representation theory. The notion was first introduced in the context of finite groups. Let \(G\) be a finite group and \(k\) be an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic \(p\). The cohomological variety \(|G|\) of \(G\) is defined to be the maximal ideal spectrum of the even-dimensional portion of the cohomology ring \(H^*(G,k)\). For a \(kG\)-module \(M\), the cohomological support variety \(|G| _M\) is the closed conical subset of those maximal ideals which contain the annihilator of \(\text{Ext}_G^*(M,M)\). These varieties have a number of nice properties involving sums, tensor products, complexity, and projectivity of modules. One of the most interesting properties is a cohomology-free description of these varieties. For an arbitrary group, a variety can be described in terms of those for elementary Abelian \(p\)-subgroups, and then, for an elementary Abelian \(p\)-group, these varieties can be identified with certain ``rank varieties'' which are defined purely representation-theoretically. More recently, the notion of support varieties has been extended to arbitrary (i.e., possibly infinite dimensional) modules as well. The work for finite groups spawned great interest in other areas as the idea has been extended to Lie algebras, infinitesimal group schemes, and certain general types of Hopf algebras where analogous properties and non-cohomological descriptions have been shown to hold. The goal of the authors is to construct a framework for obtaining non-cohomological identifications of support varieties which generalize both the finite group and infinitesimal group scheme settings. Let \(G\) be a finite group scheme over \(k\). That is, an affine group scheme whose coordinate algebra is finite dimensional. An ordinary finite group as well as the restricted enveloping algebra of a restricted Lie algebra can be considered in this context. Indeed, \(G\) can be identified as a semi-direct product of an infinitesimal group scheme (one whose coordinate algebra is local) and an ordinary finite group. The authors introduce the set \(P(G)\) of Abelian \(p\)-points of \(G\) which is a set of algebra homomorphisms from the group algebra \(k\mathbb{Z}_p\) to the ``group algebra'' \(kG\) modulo an equivalence relation. Here \(kG\) denotes the \(k\)-linear dual of the coordinate algebra of \(G\). Given a finite dimensional \(kG\)-module \(M\), they also associate a subset \(P(G)_M\subset P(G)\). The set \(P(G)\) is given the Noetherian topology with \(\{P(G)_M\}\) being the closed subsets. The main (and beautiful) result of the paper is the construction of a homeomorphism from \(P(G)\) to a ``projectivization'' of \(|G|\) which restricts to a homeomorphism from \(P(G)_M\) to the projectivization of \(|G|_M\). They also show that the \(P(G)_M\) (and hence the projectivization of \(|G|_M\)) satisfies all of the ``usual'' properties. It should be noted that in more recent work [\(\Pi\)-supports for modules for finite group schemes over a field, (preprint)], the authors refine these ideas even further to allow one to work over an arbitrary field of prime characteristic and with arbitrary modules. finite group schemes; cohomology rings; cohomological support varieties; projectivizations; elementary Abelian \(p\)-groups E.

JSTOR: Algebraic properties of function spaces in general topology, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Rings and algebras of continuous, differentiable or analytic functions, Modular representations and characters Subdivision schemes for iterated function systems This paper is the third part of my thesis [at the Mathematics Institute of Fudan Univ., P.R. China (1987)]. Roughly speaking, the topics discussed in my thesis are so-called surfaces of general type with \(\chi\) (\({\mathcal O}_ S)=1\) and fibrations of genus two. For this kind of surfaces, we may find a double covering over a ruled surface, say P. Therefore, one can classify them (as we did in part I and II) by giving the invariants of P and classify the branch locus of the corresponding double covering. Once we know this basic method, we may use certain results of \textit{Xiao}, \textit{Persson} and \textit{Beauville} for double covering. For example, one can easily know that basically, we only need to classify the surfaces with \(q(S)=p_ g(S)=0, 1\) and 2. For example for surfaces with \(q=0\) in our case, P should be a product of two projective lines. In this situation, using a result of \textit{Horikawa}, one can show that there are only a few choices for the branch curves. - Now we may study the singular points on the branch locus. Suppose its non-fiber part are the summation of curves \(C_ j\). We at first determine the types of \(C_ j's\). Then we give the singularities on \(C_ j's\). Finally, we also show the situation for the intersection among \(C_ i\) and \(C_ j\) for \(i\neq j\). In this sense, we classify all the surfaces of general type with \(\chi\) (\({\mathcal O}_ S)=1\) and fibration of genus 2. As a by-product, we also can give the 2-torsion of the algebraic fundamental group of our surface. Having classified those surfaces, we try to construct them. We pay our most attention to the surfaces with \(p_ g=0\), as they are very interesting. - By our classification, now the self-intersection of the classical sheaf is 1 or 2. Such surfaces do exist by the constructions of \textit{Oort-Peters} and \textit{Xiao} respectively. Now in this part III (under review), we construct another one. We give the exact bipolynomials, which define the curves in the branch locus. By the way, in a paper of \textit{Reid}, there is also constructed another example by our classification. Now by additional work of mine, there are only four types which we do not know if they exist. For this, please see a forthcoming book written by \textit{Xiao} about surfaces with fibrations. classification of surfaces of general type; construction of surfaces of general type; double covering; branch locus Families, moduli, classification: algebraic theory, Coverings in algebraic geometry, Surfaces of general type, Moduli, classification: analytic theory; relations with modular forms, Families, fibrations in algebraic geometry Surfaces of general type with \(\chi({\mathcal O}_ S)=1\) and fibrations of genus two.

In the paper ``Coverings of algebraic curves'', Am. J. Math. 79, 825-856 (1957; Zbl 0087.036), \textit{S. Abhyankar} proved that the automorphism group of an étale Galois cover of the affine line over K is generated by its p- Sylow subgroups and conjectures that the converse should be true, namely that if a finite group G is generated by its p-Sylow subgroups then there exists an étale Galois cover of the affine line over K with Galois group G. The author proves a weaker form of this conjecture, i.e. the following theorem: Let \(\tilde G\) be a finite group that is generated by its p- Sylow subgroups, let N be a normal subgroup of \(\tilde G\) and let G be the quotient group G/N. Assume that N is solvable and that G is the Galois group of an étale cover of the affine line. - Under these assumptions there exists an étale Galois cover of the affine line over K with Galois group \(\tilde G.\) In particular, this result implies Abhyankar's conjecture for a solvable group. existence of étale Galois cover Serre, J.-P., \textit{construction de revêtements étales de la droite affine en caractéristique \textit{p}}, C.

This conjecture, which is still completely open, is the motivation for the main result of this paper, which is the following: Theorem.

If there exists a curve \(\Gamma\) homeomorphic to \({\mathbb C}\) such that the restricted map \(f: {\mathbb C}^2-\Gamma\to {\mathbb C}^2-\Gamma\) is a topological covering, then \(f\) is bijective.

It is known that \({\mathcal M}(S)\) is a quasi-projective variety. The paper under review is the third of a series [(1) J. Differ.

Geom. 24, 395-399 (1986)] devoted to the study of general properties of \({\mathcal M}(S)\). This study was carried out by using a test class of simply connected surfaces obtained by deforming bidouble covers of \({\mathbb{P}}^ 1\times {\mathbb{P}}^ 1\), i.e. Galois covers with group \(({\mathbb{Z}}/2)^ 2\). The interest in these bidouble covers is evident in view of the analogy with hyperelliptic curves in dimension \(1\). Here the author studies in the large the deformations of these surfaces. A bidouble cover as above looks like the subvariety of the total space of the bundle \({\mathcal O}_{{\mathbb{P}}^ 1\times {\mathbb{P}}^ 1}(a,b)\oplus {\mathcal O}_{{\mathbb{P}}^ 1\times {\mathbb{P}}^ 1}(n,m)\) defined by equations \(z^ 2=f(x,y)\), \(w^ 2=g(x,y)\), where f and g are bihomogeneous forms of bidegrees (2a,2b) and (2n,2m) respectively. Let \({\mathcal N}_{(a,b),(n,m)}\) be the subset of the moduli space corresponding to smooth natural deformations; the author supplies a complete description of the closure of \({\mathcal N}_{(a,b),(n,m)}\), for \(a>2n\), \(m>2b\). This is achieved by exploiting the relations between deformations of bidouble covers of \({\mathbb{P}}^ 1\times {\mathbb{P}}^ 1\) and degenerations of \({\mathbb{P}}^ 1\times {\mathbb{P}}^ 1\) to normal surfaces with certain singularities, which the author calls ''1/2 rational double points'' and studies in great detail. minimal surface of general type; coarse moduli space; bidouble covers; deformations; 1/2 rational double points Catanese F.: Automorphisms of rational double points and moduli spaces of surfaces of general type.

In [Contemp. Math. 683, 333--361 (2017; Zbl 1390.20001)], the author and \textit{G. Williamson} defined the \(p\)-canonical basis for the Hecke algebra of a crystallographic Coxeter system. It can be thought of as a positive characteristic analogue of the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis. The \(p\)-canonical basis shares strong positivity properties with the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis (similar to the ones described by the Kazhdan-Lusztig positivity conjectures), but it loses many of its combinatorial properties. Replacing the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis by the \(p\)-canonical basis in the definition of the left (resp. right or two-sided) cells leads to the notion of left (resp. right or two-sided) p-cells. These \(p\)-cells are the main subject of the present paper. The first properties of \(p\)-cells are proved in Section 3. Left and right \(p\)-cells are related by taking inverses (see Lemma 3.6), just like for Kazhdan-Lusztig cells. The set of elements with a fixed left descent set decomposes into right \(p\)-cells (see Lemma 3.4). The most important result of this section is a certain compatibility of \(p\)-cells with parabolic subgroups that shows that any right \(p\)-cell preorder relation in a finite standard parabolic subgroup \(W_I\) induces right \(p\)-cell preorder relations in each right \(W_I\)-coset (see Theorem 3.9). It is also shown that unfortunately Kazhdan-Lusztig cells do not always decompose into \(p\)-cells, but the author expects that this may still be the case when the prime \(p\) is good for the corresponding algebraic group. Indeed, in Section 4 it is proved that Kazhdan-Lusztig left cells decompose into left \(p\)-cells in finite types B and C for \(p > 2\). This is done by studying the consequences of the Kazhdan-Lusztig star-operations for the \(p\)-canonical basis, these operations appear as the main technical tool of the present work.
