Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve genus at least $3$, over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristics. Let $\cM$ denote the moduli stack $\cM_X(\cH)$ of $\cH$-torsors on $X$, when $\cH$ {\em quasi-split absolutely simple, simply connected connected group scheme}.
This paper addresses some conjectures and questions regarding the absolute and relative compactifications of the SL(2,C)-character variety of an $n$-punctured Riemann surface without boundary. We study a class of projective compactifications determined by ideal triangulations of the surface and prove explicit results ...
We develop a geometric version of the circle method and use it to compute the compactly supported cohomology of the space of rational curves through a point on a smooth affine hypersurface of sufficiently low degree.
We introduce and study a derived version $\mathbf L\mathrm{Bin}$ of the binomial monad on the unbounded derived category $\mathscr D(\mathbb Z)$ of $\mathbb Z$-modules. This monad acts naturally on singular cohomology of any topological space, and does so more efficiently than the more classical monad $\mathbf L\mathr...
We study the moduli space $\mathcal{F}_{T_1}$ of quasi-trielliptic K3 surfaces of type I, whose general member is a smooth bidegree $(2,3)$-hypersurface of $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^2$. Such moduli space plays an important role in the study of the Hassett-Keel-Looijenga program of the moduli space of degree $8$ q...
The paper explores the birational geometry of terminal quartic 3-folds. In doing this I develop a new approach to study maximal singularities with positive dimensional centers.
For a flat morphism $\pi \colon X \to T$ between smooth quasi-projective varieties and its fiber $X_0$, we prove that spherical objects on $D^b(X)$ pushed-forward from $D^b(X_0)$ induce autoequivalences of $D^b(X_0)$ itself. Our construction provides new derived symmetries for some singular varieties, which include si...
We describe the equivariant cohomology ring of rationally smooth projective embeddings of reductive groups. These embeddings are the projectivizations of reductive monoids.
We study non-symplectic involutions on irreducible symplectic manifolds of K3^{[2]}-type with 19 parameters, which is the second largest possible. We classify the conjugacy classes of cohomological representations into four different types and show that there are at most five deformation types, two of which are given ...
It was proved by the first-named author and Zubkov [13] that given an affine algebraic supergroup $\mathbb{G}$ and a closed sub-supergroup $\mathbb{H}$ over an arbitrary field of characteristic $\ne 2$, the faisceau $\mathbb{G} \tilde{/} \mathbb{H}$ (in the fppf topology) is a superscheme, and is, therefore, the quotie...
We consider a class of stable smoothable n-dimensional varieties, the analogs of stable curves. Assuming the minimal model program in dimension n+1, we prove that this class is bounded.
It is known for a long time that a nonsingular real algebraic curve of degree 2k in the projective plane cannot have more than 7/2*k^2-9/4*k+3/2$ even ovals. We show here that this upper bound is asymptotically sharp, that is to say we construct a family of curves of degree 2k such that p/k^2 tends to 7/4$ as k tends ...
For a nonzero ideal I of C[x_1,...,x_n], with 0 in supp I, a generalization of a conjecture of Igusa - Denef - Loeser predicts that every pole of its topological zeta function is a root of its Bernstein-Sato polynomial. However, typically only a few roots are obtained this way.
For an arbitrary 5-fold ramified covering between compact Riemann surfaces, every possible Galois closure is determined in terms of the ramification data of the map; namely, the ramification divisor of the covering map. Since the group that acts on the Galois closure also acts on the Jacobian variety of the covering s...
We correct a statement of a theorem on characterisation of the (c)-regularity we gave in Topology 37 (1998), 45--62. This theorem was used in the paper in the proof of two theorems on the (c)-regular stratification.
In this paper we investigate the idea of a tropical critical point of the superpotential for the full flag variety of type A. Recall that associated to an irreducible representation of G=SLn(C) are various polytopes whose integral points parameterize a basis for the representation, e.g. the Gelfand-Zetlin polytope. Su...
We present a new method for solving symbolically zero--dimensional polynomial equation systems in the affine and toric case. The main feature of our method is the use of problem adapted data structures: arithmetic networks and straight--line programs. For sequential time complexity measured by network size we obtain t...
Let $X$ be a variety with at most terminal $\mathbb Q$-factorial singularities of dimension $n$. We study local contractions $f:X\to Z$ supported by a $\mathbb Q$-Cartier divisor of the type $K_X+ \tau L$, where $L$ is an $f$-ample Cartier divisor and $\tau \geq 0$ is a rational number.
Ein and Lazarsfeld have shown that one can read off the gonality of an algebraic curve from its syzygies in the embedding defined by any one line bundle of sufficiently large degree. This note extends their approach and shows that the gonality can be detected from the syzygies of an embedding by any line bundle of deg...
The aim of the paper is to provide a rather gentle introduction into Donaldson-Thomas theory using quivers with potential. The reader should be familiar with some basic knowledge in algebraic or complex geometry.
Given an Azumaya algebra with involution $(A,\sigma)$ over a commutative ring $R$ and some auxiliary data, we construct an $8$-periodic chain complex involving the Witt groups of $(A,\sigma)$ and other algebras with involution, and prove it is exact when $R$ is semilocal. When $R$ is a field, this recovers an $8$-peri...
Let $(S,L)$ be a polarized abelian surface of Picard rank one and let $\phi$ be the function which takes each ample line bundle $L'$ to the least integer $k$ such that $L'$ is $k$-very ample but not $(k+1)$-very ample. We use Bridgeland's stability conditions and Fourier-Mukai techniques to give a closed f...
Motivated by a question from V. Arnold about self-dual curves in projective spaces, we study {\cal M}_{m,n,k}: the moduli space of m-self-dual n-gons in {\mathbb P}^k. This paper lays out an explicit construction of self-dual polygons, and for specific cases of n and m, provides the dimension of {\cal M}_{m,n,k}.
Tautological systems was introduced in Lian-Yau as the system of differential equations satisfied by period integrals of hyperplane sections of some complex projective homogenous varieties. We introduce the $\ell$-adic tautological systems for the case where the ground field is of characteristic $p$.
We prove the boundedness of complements for Fano type generalized pairs (with the boundary coefficient set $[0,1]$) after Shokurov.
We extend an argument of <a href="http://S.Lichtenbaum" rel="external noopener nofollow" class="link-external link-http">this http URL</a> involving codimension one cycles to higher codimensions and obtain a generalization of the well-known Picard-Brauer exact sequence for a smooth variety X. The resulting exact sequen...
An action of a complex reductive group $\mathrm G$ on a smooth projective variety $X$ is regular when all regular unipotent elements in $\mathrm G$ act with finitely many fixed points. Then the complex $\mathrm G$-equivariant cohomology ring of $X$ is isomorphic to the coordinate ring of a certain regular fixed point ...
We prove new slope inequalities for relatively minimal fibred surfaces, showing an influence of the relative irregularity, of the unitary rank and of the Clifford index on the slope. The argument uses Xiao&#39;s method and a new Clifford-type inequality for subcanonical systems on non-hyperelliptic curves.
We describe a variation of Dworks unit-root method to determine the degree four Frobenius polynomial for members of a 1-modulus Calabi-Yau family over $\mathbb{P}^1$ in terms of the holomorphic period near a point of maximal unipotent monodromy. The method is illustrated on a couple of examples.
We investigate the asympotic behaviour of the moduli space of morphisms from the rational curve to a given variety when the degree becomes large. One of the crucial tools is the homogeneous coordinate ring of the variey.
We give general criteria under which the limit of a system of tropicalizations of a scheme over a nonarchimedean field is homeomorphic to the analytification of the scheme. As an application, we show that the analytification of an arbitrary closed subscheme of a toric variety is naturally homeomorphic to the limit of ...
This is a survey paper based on a series of lectures given at the IHES in February/March 2015. In a first part, we recall the main results on the tempered holomorphic solutions of D-modules in the language of indsheaves and, as an application, the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence for regular holonomic modules.
We study elimination theory in the context of Newton polytopes and develop its convex-geometric counterpart.
This note points out a gap in the proof of the main theorem of the article &#34;Birationally rigid hypersurfaces&#34; published in Invent. Math.
We construct a basis of the space ${\text S}_{14}({\text{Sp}}_{12}({\mathbb Z}))$ of Siegel cusp forms of degree $6$ and weight $14$ consisting of harmonic theta series. One of these functions has vanishing order $2$ at the boundary which implies that the Kodaira dimension of $\mathcal{A}_6$ is non-negative.
Using limit linear series on chains of curves, we show that closures of certain Brill--Noether loci contain a product of pointed Brill--Noether loci of small codimension. As a result, we obtain new non-containments of Brill--Noether loci, in particular that all dimensionally expected non-containments hold for expected...
We give a topological model for a polynomial map from $\C^n$ to $\C$ in the neighborhood of a fiber with isolated singularities. This is motivated out of the ``unfolding of links&#39;&#39; described earlier by the first author and Lee Rudolph.
We introduce an asymptotic notion of positivity in algebraic geometry that turns out to be related to some high-dimensional convex sets. The dimension of the convex sets grows with the number of birational operations.
Using sheaves of A^1-connected components, we prove that the Morel-Voevodsky singular construction on a reductive algebraic group fails to be A^1-local if the group does not satisfy suitable isotropy hypotheses. As a consequence, we show the failure of A^1-invariance of torsors for such groups on smooth affine schemes...
We give a new, shorter computation of Frobenius push-forwards of line bundles on toric varieties.
Let f: X -&gt; Y be a smooth family of canonically polarized complex varieties over a smooth base. Generalizing the classical Shafarevich hyperbolicity conjecture, Viehweg conjectured that Y is necessarily of log general type if the family has maximal variation.
We prove transformation formulae for generating functions of Gromov-Witten invariants on general toric Calabi-Yau threefolds under flops. Our proof is based on a combinatorial identity on the topological vertex and analysis of fans of toric Calabi-Yau threefolds.
We relate closure operations for ideals and for submodules to non-flat Grothendieck topologies. We show how a Grothendieck topology on an affine scheme induces a closure operation in a natural way, and how to construct for a given closure operation fulfilling certain properties a Grothendieck topology which induces th...
In this paper, we study the growth of the number of fixed points from iterating an endomorphism of an abelian variety. Using the estimates obtained on an abelian variety, we are able to extend the results to endomorphisms on varieties of Kodaira dimension zero and more generally their periodic subvarieties.
The exceptional log Del Pezzo surfaces with delta=1 are classified.
We describe how to compute topological objects associated to a polynomial map of several complex variables with isolated singularities. These objects are: the affine critical values, the affine Milnor numbers for all irregular fibers, the critical values at infinity, and the Milnor numbers at infinity for all irregula...
In this article we describe completely the singularities appearing in Calogero--Moser varieties associated (at any parameter) to the wreath product symplectic reflection groups. We do so by parameterizing the symplectic leaves in the variety, describing combinatorially the resulting closure relation and computing a tra...
We explain why every non-trivial exact tensor functor on the triangulated category of mixed motives over a field F has zero kernel, if one assumes &#34;all&#34; motivic conjectures. In other words, every non-zero motive generates the whole category up to the tensor triangulated structure.
We obtain an easy sufficient condition for the Brauer group of a diagonal quartic surface D over Q to be algebraic. We also give an upper bound for the order of the quotient of the Brauer group of D by the image of the Brauer group of Q. The proof is based on the isomorphism of the Fermat quartic surface with a Kummer...
For a finite field k and a triple of integers g \ge r \ge s \ge 0, we count the number of semilinear endomorphisms of a g-dimensional k-vector space which have rank r and stable rank s. Such endomorphisms show up naturally in the classification of finite flat group schemes of p-power order over k which are killed by p...
We prove that for each positive integer $n$ there exists a positive number $\epsilon_n$ so that $n$-dimensional toric quotient singularities satisfy the ACC for mld&#39;s on the interval $(0,\epsilon_n)$. In the course of the proof, we will show a geometric Jordan property for finite automorphism groups of affine tori...
We give a Pieri rule for the torus-equivariant cohomology of (submaximal) Grassmannians of Lie types B, C, and D. To the authors&#39; best knowledge, our rule is the first manifestly positive formula, beyond the equivariant Chevalley formula. We also give a simple proof of the equivariant Pieri rule for the ordinary (...
In this paper we study K3 surfaces with a non-symplectic automorphism of order 3. In particular, we classify the topological structure of the fixed locus of such automorphisms and we show that it determines the action on cohomology.
Let $X$ be a smooth connected complex projective curve of genus $g$, with $g\,\geq\, 3$. Fix an integer $r\geq 2$, a finite subset $D\, \subset\, X$, and a line bundle $L$ on $X$.
Inspired by some recent work of M. Farber, W. Lück and M. Shubin on L2 homotopy invariants of infinite Galois coverings of simplicial complexes (L2 Betti numbers and Novikov-Shubin invariants), this article extends Atiyah&#39;s L2 index theory to coherent analytic sheaves on complex analytic spaces. Let $X$ be a compl...
The Drinfel&#39;d Lagrangian Grassmannian compactifies the space of algebraic maps of fixed degree from the projective line into the Lagrangian Grassmannian. It has a natural projective embedding arising from the canonical embedding of the Lagrangian Grassmannian.
For the complement of a hyperplane arrangement we construct a dual homology basis to the no broken circuit basis of cohomology. This is based on the theory of wonderful embeddings and nested sets.
Given a finite p-group G acting on a smooth projective curve X over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p, the dimension of the tangent space of the associated equivariant deformation functor is equal to the dimension of the space of coinvariants of G acting on the space V of global holomorphic quadratic ...
Let $M_{\langle u,v,w\rangle}\in C^{uv}\otimes C^{vw}\otimes C^{wu}$ denote the matrix multiplication tensor (and write $M_n=M_{\langle n,n,n\rangle}$) and let $det_3\in ( C^9)^{\otimes 3}$ denote the determinant polynomial considered as a tensor. For a tensor $T$, let $\underline R(T)$ denote its border rank.
We study syzygies of the Segre embedding of P(V_1) x ... x P(V_n), and prove two finiteness results. First, for fixed p but varying n and V_i, there is a finite list of &#34;master p-syzygies&#34; from which all other p-syzygies can be derived by simple substitutions.
A hypercomplex manifold M is a manifold with a triple I,J,K of complex structure operators satisfying quaternionic relations. For each quaternion L=aI +bJ+cK, L^2=-1, L is also a complex structure operator on M, called an induced complex structure.
In this paper, we prove the termination of 4-fold semi-stable log flips under the assumption that there always exist 4-fold (semi-stable) log flips.
For G = GL_2, PGL_2 and SL_2 we prove that the perverse filtration associated to the Hitchin map on the cohomology of the moduli space of twisted G-Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface C agrees with the weight filtration on the cohomology of the twisted G character variety of C, when the cohomologies are identified via n...
Here we focus on the geometry of $\pdgbar$, the compactification of the universal Picard variety constructed by L. Caporaso. In particular, we show that the moduli space of spin curves constructed by M. Cornalba naturally injects into $\pdgbar$ and we give generators and relations of the rational divisor class group o...
Let X be a smooth complete toric variety. We describe the Altmann-Ilten-Vollmert equivariant deformations of toric varieties in the language of Cox rings.
Let $X(\RR)$ be a geometrically connected variety defined over $\RR$ and such that the set of all its (also complex) points $X(\CC)$ is non-degenerate. <br>We introduce the notion of \emph{admissible rank} of a point $P$ with respect to $X$ to be the minimal cardinality of a set of points of $X(\CC)$ such that $P\in \...
Germs of plane curve singularities can be classified accordingly to their equisingularity type. For singularities over C, this important data coincides with the topological class.
In this paper the authors study quotients of the product of elliptic curves by a rigid diagonal action of a finite group $G$. It is shown that only for $G = \operatorname{He(3)}, \mathbb Z_3^2$, and only for dimension $\geq 4$ such an action can be free.
After works by Katz, Monsky, and Adolphson-Sperber, a comparison theorem between relative de Rham cohomology and Dwork cohomology is established in a paper by Dimca-Maaref-Sabbah-Saito in the framework of algebraic D-modules. We propose here an alternative proof of this result.
We show that regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties can have moduli. To be precise, suppose $X$ is a regular semisimple Hessenberg variety of codimension 1 in the flag variety $G/B$, where $G$ is a simple algebraic group of rank $r$ over $\mathbb{C}$ and $B$ is a Borel subgroup.
In this paper we discuss some of the recent developments on derived equivalences in algebraic geometry.
For $n\geq 3$, let $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$ denote the moduli space of genus 0 curves with $n$ marked points, and $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}$ its smooth compactification. A theorem due to Ginzburg, Kapranov and Getzler states that the inverse of the exponential generating series for the Poincaré polynomial of $H^{\bulle...
We introduce the notion of a relative log scheme with boundary: a morphism of log schemes together with a (log schematically) dense open immersion of its source into a third log scheme. The sheaf of relative log differentials naturally extends to this compactification and there is a notion of smoothness for such data....
We show that under some assumptions on the monodromy group some combinations of higher Chern classes of flat vector bundles are torsion in the Chow group. Similar results hold for flat vector bundles that deform to such flat vector bundles (also in case of quasi-projective varieties).
A constructible sheaf corresponding to Gel&#39;fand Zelevinski hypergeometric functions on a torus is called hypergeometric sheaf. We consider Hodge and Tate conjectrue for hypergeomtric sheaves.
We make an attempt to develop &#34;noncommutative algebraic geometry&#34; in which noncommutative affine schemes are in one-to-one correspondence with associative algebras. <br>In the first part we discuss various aspects of smoothness in affine noncommutative algebraic geometry.
We study typical ranks with respect to a real variety $X$. Examples of such are tensor rank ($X$ is the Segre variety) and symmetric tensor rank ($X$ is the Veronese variety).
We revisit the wall-crossing behaviour of solutions to the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz type equations arising in a class of three-dimensional field theories, expressed as sums of &#34;instanton corrections&#34;. We explain how to attach to an instanton correction at a critical value a set of (combinatorial types of) tr...
We study the monodromy representations underlying compact Lagrangian fibrations. In the case where the associated period map is generically immersive, we prove that the mondromy representation is irreducible over \(\mathbb{C}\).
We describe the higher weights of the Grassmann codes $G(2,m)$ over finite fields ${\mathbb F}_q$ in terms of properties of Schubert unions, and in each case we determine the weight as the minimum of two explicit polynomial expressions in $q$.
Let k be an algebraically closed field and X a smooth projective k-variety. A famous theorem of A. A. Roitman states that the canonical map from the degree zero part of the Chow group of zero cycles on X to the group of k-points of its Albanese variety induces an isomorphism on torsion prime to the characteristic of k...
We construct smooth rational real algebraic varieties of every dimension $\ge$ 4 which admit infinitely many pairwise non-isomorphic real forms.
In this short note we show that, for any ample embedding of a variety of dimension at least two in a projective space, all high enough degree Veronese re-embeddings have non-empty Terracini loci.
In this paper, we study the eigensubspace of the space of the holomorphic differentials of nodal curves over the algebracally closed field under the action of finite automorphism groups. We compute the Chevalley- Weil formula with some additional contidions of the quotient curve and give some examples.
In this paper, we investigate, for varieties over $\mathbb C$ with trivial group of $0$-cycles, the gap between essential $\mathrm{CH}_0$-dimension $2$ and essential $\mathrm{CH}_0$-dimension $0$. In particular, we present sufficient (and necessary) conditions for a variety with trivial group of $0$-cycles and essenti...
This paper explores the cohomological consequences of the existence of moduli spaces for flat bundles with bounded rank and irregularity at infinity and gives unconditional proofs. Namely, we prove the existence of a universal bound for the dimension of De Rham cohomology of flat bundles with bounded rank and irregula...
We provide a Hilbert-Mumford Criterion for actions of reductive groups $G$ on $Q$-factorial complex varieties. The result allows to construct open subsets admitting a good quotient by $G$ from certain maximal open subsets admitting a good quotient by a maximal torus of $G$.
We prove that two derived equivalent twisted K3 surfaces have isomorphic periods. The converse is shown for K3 surfaces with large Picard number.
Monin and Rana conjectured a set of equations defining the image of the moduli space $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ under an embedding into $\mathbb{P}^1\times \cdots\times \mathbb{P}^{n-3}$ due to Keel and Tevelev and verified the conjecture for $n\leq 8$ using Macaulay2. We prove this conjecture for all $n$.
Studying the mirror symmetry of a Calabi-Yau threefold $X$ of the Reye congruence in $\mP^4$, we conjecture that $X$ has a non-trivial Fourier-Mukai partner $Y$. We construct $Y$ as the double cover of a determinantal quintic in $\mP^4$ branched over a curve.
In this paper we prove a refined version of the canonical key formula for projective abelian schemes in the sense of Moret-Bailly, we also extend this discussion to the context of Arakelov geometry. Precisely, let $\pi: A\to S$ be a projective abelian scheme over a locally noetherian scheme $S$ with unit section $e: S...
We study smooth quadric surfaces in the Pfaffian hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^{14}$ parameterising $6 \times 6$ skew-symmetric matrices of rank at most 4, not intersecting the Grassmannian $\mathbb{G}(1,5)$. Such surfaces correspond to quadratic systems of skew-symmetric matrices of size 6 and constant rank 4, and give...
This paper aims to show that a certain moduli space $\textsf{T}$, which arises from the so-called Dwork family of Calabi-Yau $n$-folds, carries a special complex Lie algebra containing a copy of $\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})$. In order to achieve this goal, we introduce an algebraic group $\sf G$ acting from the right ...
We introduce a notion of the De Rham complex of a Gerstenhaber algebra which produces a notion of a &#34;quasi-BV structure&#34;, and allows to classify these structures, generalizing the classical results for polyvector fields.
We study the birational geometry of $\bar{M}_{3,1}$ and $\bar{M}_{4,1}$. In particular, we pose a pointed analogue of the Slope Conjecture and prove it in these low-genus cases.
We deal with $g$-dimensional abelian varieties $X$ over finite fields. We prove that there is an universal constant (positive integer) $N=N(g)$ that depends only on $g$ that enjoys the following properties.
The aim of this paper is to determine a bound of the dimension of an irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme of the moduli space of torsion-free sheaves on surfaces. Let $X$ be a non-singular irreducible complex surface and let $E$ be a vector bundle of rank $n$ on $X$.
We correct the proof and slightly strengthen a Kodaira-type vanishing theorem for singular varieties originally due to Jaffe and the first author. Specifically, we show that if $L$ is a nef and big line bundle on a projective variety of characteristic zero, the $i^{\text{th}}$ cohomology of $L^{-1}$ vanishes for $i$ i...
We propose a general framework governing the intersection properties of extremal rays of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds under the Beauville-Bogomolov form. Our main thesis is that extremal rays associated to Lagrangian projective subspaces control the behavior of the cone of curves.
In this article, we investigate a weakened version of the spectral correspondence for twisted Higgs bundles. Namely, we construct twisted Higgs bundles from a finite covering map and a vector bundle on that covering but without requiring that they match the eigen-data for some fixed twisted Higgs bundle.
