We consider a pair consisting of an invertible polynomial and a finite abelian group of its symmetries. Berglund, Hübsch, and Henningson proposed a duality between such pairs giving rise to mirror symmetry.
We give an algebro-geometric construction of some of the non-arithmetic ball quotients constructed by the author, Parker and Paupert. The new construction reveals a relationship between the corresponding orbifold fundamental groups and the automorphism group of the Klein quartic, and also with groups constructed by Ba...
Let $M_{k,m}$ be the space of Laurent polynomials in one variable $x^k + t_1 x^{k-1}+... t_{k+m}x^{-m},$ where $k,m\geq 1$ are fixed integers and $t_{k+m}\neq 0$. According to B. Dubrovin \cite{D}, $M_{k,m}$ can be equipped with a semi-simple Frobenius structure.
In this work we study the failure of the HKR theorem over rings of positive and mixed characteristic. For this we construct a filtered circle interpolating between the usual topological circle and a formal version of it.
This article describes some complex-analytic aspects of the moduli space of the finite-dimensional complex representations of a finite quiver, which are stable with respect to a fixed rational weight. We construct a natural structure of a complex manifold on this moduli space, and a Kähler metric on the complex manifo...
Resultants are important special functions used in description of non-linear phenomena. Resultant $R_{r_1, ..., r_n}$ defines a condition of solvability for a system of $n$ homogeneous polynomials of degrees $r_1, ..., r_n$ in $n$ variables, just in the same way as determinant does for a system of linear equations.
We find restrictions on the topology of tropical varieties that arise from a certain natural class of varieties. We develop a theory of tropical degenerations that is a nonconstant coefficient analogue of Tevelev's theory of tropical compactifications, and use it to construct normal crossings degenerations of a su...
Given a point S (the light position) in P^3 and an algebraic surface Z (the mirror) of P^3, the caustic by reflection of Z from S is the Zariski closure of the envelope of the reflected lines got by reflection of the incident lines (Sm) on Z at m in Z. We use the ramification method to identify the caustic by reflectio...
Motivated by classical Alexander invariants of affine hypersurface complements, we endow certain finite dimensional quotients of the homology of abelian covers of complex algebraic varieties with a canonical and functorial mixed Hodge structure (MHS). More precisely, we focus on covers which arise algebraically in the...
Let $(X, \Delta)$ be a log pair in characteristic $p>0$ and $P$ be a (not necessarily closed) point of $X$. We show that there exists a constant $\delta>0$ such that $\tau(X, \Delta)_P= \tau(X, \Delta + D)_P$ for each effective $\mathbb{Q}$-Cartier divisor $D$ with $\mathrm{mult}_P(D) <\delta$.
In this paper, we study the algebraic hyperbolicity of very general surfaces in general Fano threefolds with Picard number one. We completely classify the algebraically hyperbolicity of those surfaces, except for surfaces in weighted hypersurfaces.
The affine Grassmannian of $SL_n$ admits an embedding into the Sato Grassmannian, which further admits a Plücker embedding into the projectivization of Fermion Fock space. Kreiman, Lakshmibai, Magyar, and Weyman describe the linear part of the ideal defining this embedding in terms of certain elements of the dual of F...
By an additive action on an algebraic variety $X$ we mean a regular effective action $\mathbb{G}_a^n\times X\to X$ with an open orbit of the commutative unipotent group $\mathbb{G}_a^n$. In this paper, we give a classification of additive actions on complete toric surfaces.
It is conjectured by de Jong that, if $X$ is a connected smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with trivial étale fundamental group, any isocrystal on on $X/W$ is trivial. We prove this conjecture under two additional assumptions.
An object in the bounded derived category D^b(Coh(X)) of coherent sheaves on a complex projective K3 surface X is spherical if it is rigid and simple. Although spherical objects form only a discrete set in the moduli stack of complexes, they determine much of the structure of X and D^b(Coh(X)).
The Abel-Jacobi map of the family of elliptic quintics lying on a general cubic threefold is studied. It is proved that it factors through a moduli component of stable rank 2 vector bundles on the cubic threefold with Chern numbers c_1=0, c_2=2, whose general point represents a vector bundle obtained by Serre's co...
We investigate the smoothing problem of limit linear series of rank one on an enrichment of the notions of nodal curves and metrized complexes called saturated metrized complexes. We give a finitely verifiable full criterion for smoothability of a limit linear series of rank one on saturared metrized complexes, charac...
For an equivariant reflexive sheaf over a polarised toric variety, we study slope stability of its reflexive pullback along a toric fibration. Examples of such fibrations include equivariant blow-ups and toric locally trivial fibrations.
We construct a proper moduli space which is a Deligne-Mumford stack parametrising quasimaps relative to a simple normal crossings divisor in any genus using logarithmic geometry. We show this moduli space admits a virtual fundamental class of the expected dimension leading to numerical invariants which agree with the ...
In this paper we use toric geometry to investigate the topology of the totally non-negative part of the Grassmannian (Gr_{kn})_{\geq 0}. This is a cell complex whose cells Delta_G can be parameterized in terms of the combinatorics of plane-bipartite graphs G. To each cell Delta_G we associate a certain polytope P(G).
We give a geometric interpretation of the Stanley--Reisner correspondence, extend it to schemes, and interpret it in terms of the field of one element.
We prove that shifted cotangent stacks carry a canonical shifted symplectic structure. We also prove that shifted conormal stacks carry a canonical Lagrangian structure.
We determine birational superrigidity for a quasi-smooth prime Fano 3-fold of codimension 4 with no projection centers. In particular we prove birational superrigidity for Fano 3-folds of codimension 4 with no projection centers which are recently constructed by Coughlan and Ducat.
Square matrices represent linear self-maps of vector spaces, and their eigenpoints are the fixed points of the induced map on projective space. Likewise, polynomial self-maps of a projective space are represented by tensors.
Let $C/M$ be a local universal family of smooth curves and $S/M$ be the family of moduli spaces of stable bundles with a fixed determinant on curves. In this paper, we find locally free sheaves $\Cal G_E$, $S(\Cal G_E)$ on $X=C\times_M S$ such that their first direct images are isomorphic to sheaves $\Cal D^{\le 1}_{S...
We show the dominance of the restriction map from a moduli space of stable sheaves on the projective plane to the Coble quartic. With the dominance and the interpretation of a stable sheaf on the plane in terms of the hyperplane arrangements, we expect to investigate the geometry of the Coble quartic.
We study the geometry of the (generalized) twistor triangles $\triangle J_1J_2J_3$ in the period domain of compact complex tori of complex dimension $2n$ by the means of the representation theory of the algebras (of real dimension 8) generated by the complex structures $J_1,J_2,J_3$. Considering the period domain as t...
For a field k, let G be a reductive k-group and V an affine k-variety on which G acts. Using the notion of cocharacter-closed G(k)-orbits in V, we prove a rational version of the celebrated Hilbert-Mumford Theorem from geometric invariant theory.
In this paper, we explore different possible choices of expanded degenerations and define appropriate stability conditions in order to construct good degenerations of Hilbert schemes of points over semistable degenerations of surfaces, given as proper Deligne-Mumford stacks. These stacks provide explicit examples of c...
Let $\mathrm{Hilb}^gS$ be the Hilbert scheme of $g$ points on a K3 surface $S$. Suppose that $\mathrm{Pic}S\cong\Z C$ where $C$ is a smooth curve with $C^2=2(g-1)n^2$.
This is an elementary exposition of the basic descent theorems for algebraic schemes over fields (Grothendieck, Weil, ...).
We classify absolutely split vector bundles on proper $k$-schemes. More precise, we prove that the closed points of the Picard scheme are in one-to-one correspondence with indecomposable absolutely split vector bundles.
We construct a full exceptional collection of vector bundles in the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on the Grassmannian $\mathrm{IGr}(3,8)$ of isotropic 3-dimensional subspaces in an 8-dimensional symplectic vector space.
We analize the semistable degeneration of the Fano surface F when the cubic threefold becomes the Segre primal. This gives an explicit topological decomposition for F. The decomposition is used to decide that the Fano surface is not an an Eilenberg Mac-Lane K(\pi,1) space, this was the question that prompted us to loo...
We analyze the geometry of rational p-division points in degenerating families of elliptic curves in characteristic p. We classify the possible Kodaira symbols and determine for the Igusa moduli problem the reduction type of the universal curve.
Orders on surfaces provide a rich source of examples of noncommutative surfaces. Other than some existence results, very little is known about the various moduli spaces that can be associated to them.
We prove that the category of mixed Tate motives over $\Z$ is spanned by the motivic fundamental group of $\Pro^1$ minus three points. We prove a conjecture by M. Hoffman which states that every multiple zeta value is a $\Q$-linear combination of $\zeta(n_1,..., n_r)$ where $n_i\in \{2,3\}$.
We give finite presentations for the fundamental group of moduli stacks of smooth Weierstrass curves over complex projective space P^n which extend the classical result for elliptic curves to positive dimensional base. We thus get natural generalisations of SL_2(Z) and pave the way to understanding the fundamental gro...
Dropping separatedness in the definition of a toric variety, one obtains the more general notion of a toric prevariety. Toric prevarieties occur as ambient spaces in algebraic geometry and moreover they appear naturally as intermediate steps in quotient constructions.
We show that the minimal model program on any smooth projective surface is realized as a variation of the moduli spaces of Bridgeland stable objects in the derived category of coherent sheaves.
Let X and Y be complex smooth projective varieties, and D^b(X) and D^b(Y) the associated bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves. Assume the existence of a triangulated category T which is admissible both in D^b(X) as in D^b(Y).
Let $X$ be a normal projective variety with only klt singularities, and $L_X$ a strictly nef $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor on $X$. In this paper, we study the singular version of Serrano's conjecture, i.e., the ampleness of $K_X+t L_X$ for sufficiently large $t\gg 1$.
We propose a version of the classical Artin approximation which allows to perturb the variables of the approximated solution. Namely, it is possible to approximate a formal solution of a Nash equation by a Nash solution in a compatible way with a given Nash change of variables.
Let $X$ be an irreducible, reduced complex projective hypersurface of degree $d$. A point $P$ not contained in $X$ is called uniform if the monodromy group of the projection of $X$ from $P$ is isomorphic to the symmetric group $S_d$.
We establish an explicit relationship between the partition function of certain special cubic Hodge integrals and the generalized Brezin--Gross--Witten (BGW) partition function, which we refer to as the Hodge-BGW correspondence. As an application, we obtain an ELSV-like formula for generalized BGW correlators.
Given a variety over a number field, are its rational points potentially dense, i.e., does there exist a finite extension over which rational points are Zariski dense? We study the question of potential density for symmetric products of surfaces.
We consider the KZ differential equations over $\mathbb C$ in the case, when the hypergeometric solutions are one-dimensional integrals. We also consider the same differential equations over a finite field $\mathbb F_p$.
We study Higgs bundles over an elliptic curve with complex reductive structure group, describing the (normalization of) its moduli spaces and the associated Hitchin fibration. The case of trivial degree is covered by the work of Thaddeus in 2001.
For a hypersurface in a projective space, we consider the set of pairs of a point and a line in the projective space such that the line intersects the hypersurface at the point with a fixed multiplicity. We prove that this set of pairs forms a smooth variety for a general hypersurface.
We show that the free energy of the topological string admits a certain pole structure by using the operator formalism. Combined with the results of Peng that proved the integrality, this gives a combinatoric proof of the Gopakumar-Vafa conjecture.
We generalise the variant of the Babylonian tower theorem for vector bundles on projective spaces proved by I. Coanda and G. Trautmann (2006) to the case of principal $G$-bundles over projective spaces, where $G$ is a linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field. In course of the proofs some new i...
We present a survey on the recent progress with desingularization of quasi-excellent schemes of characteristic zero. Due to expository goals of the paper we concentrate on giving examples and outlining main ideas, and we refer to other sources for detailed proofs and technical details.
We give a formalism of mixed sheaves on varieties over a subfield of the complex number field.
Right adjoints for the forgetful functors on $\lambda$-rings and bi-rings are applied to motivic measures and their zeta functions on the Grothendieck ring of $\mathbb{F}_1$-varieties in the sense of Lorscheid and Lopez-Pena (torified schemes). This leads us to a specific subring of $\mathbb{W}(\mathbb{Z})$, properly ...
This tutorial illustrates how to use Grayson and Stillman's computer algebra system, Macaulay2, to study schemes. The examples are taken from the homework for an algebraic geometry class given at the University of California, Berkeley in the fall of 1999.
We use a result of van Geemen to determine the endomorphism algebra of the Kuga--Satake variety of a K3 surface with real multiplication. This is applied to prove the Hodge conjecture for self-products of double covers of $\PP^2$ which are ramified along six lines.
In this paper, we give a brief survey of recent developments on Noether's problem and rationality problem for multiplicative invariant fields including author's recent papers Hoshi [Hos15] about Noether's problem over Q, Hoshi, Kang and Kunyavskii [HKK13], Chu, Hoshi, Hu and Kang [CHHK15], Hoshi [Hos16] and...
Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a hypersurface is an important object with numerous applications. It is known, that it is complicated to obtain it computationally, as a number of open questions and challenges indicate.
An irreducible integrable connection $(E,\nabla)$ on a smooth projective complex variety $X$ is called rigid if it gives rise to an isolated point of the corresponding moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{dR}(X)$. According to Simpson's motivicity conjecture, irreducible rigid flat connections are of geometric origin, that ...
We present a survey on the moduli spaces of rank 2 quadric bundles over a compact Riemann surface X. These are objects which generalise orthogonal bundles and which naturally occur through the study of the connected components of the moduli spaces of Higgs bundles over X for the real symplectic group Sp(4,R), with non-...
We provide the full classification of algebraic embeddings of $\mathbb{C}^*$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$ satisfying certain regularity condition, which conjecturally holds for all algebraic maps from $\mathbb{C}^*$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$. The resulting list comprises 1 smooth family, 18 discrete families and 4 special cases.
As the sequel to [3], we construct a minimal complex surface of general type with p_g=0, K^2=2 and H_1=Z/2Z using a rational blow-down surgery and Q-Gorenstein smoothing theory. We also present an example of p_g = 0,K^2 = 2 and H_1 = Z/3Z.
We investigate the blow-up of a weighted projective plane at a general point. We provide criteria and algorithms for testing if the result is a Mori dream surface and we compute the Cox ring in several cases.
Let X be a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>0. In this paper we explore the relation between algebraic D-modules on the moduli space $Bun_n$ of vector bundles of rank n on X and coherent sheaves on the moduli space $Loc_n$ of vector bundles endowed with a connection (...
We first prove some basic properties of Okounkov bodies, and give a characterization of Nakayama and positive volume subvarieties of a pseudoeffective divisor in terms of Okounkov bodies. Next, we show that each valuative and limiting Okounkov bodies of a pseudoeffective divisor which admits the birational good Zarisk...
Over a normal base scheme, we prove the generalized Theorem of the Cube for 1-motives and that a torsion class of the group H^2_ét(M,G_m)$ of a 1-motive M, whose pull-back via the unit section is zero, comes from an Azumaya algebra. In particular, we deduce that over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zer...
We classify all the K3 surfaces which are minimal models of the quotient of the product of two curves $C_1\times C_2$ by the diagonal action of either the group $\Z/p\Z$ or the group $\Z/2p\Z$. These K3 surfaces admit a non-symplectic automorphism of order $p$ induced by an automorphism of one of the curves $C_1$ or $...
Foliations on the space of $p$-divisible groups were studied by Oort in 2004. In his theory, special leaves called central stream play an important role.
We construct a tropical analogue of the Poincaré bundle and prove a (cohomological) Fourier-Mukai transform for real tori with integral structures. We then prove a tropical analogue of Beauville's generalized Poincaré formula for polarized abelian varieties.
Let V be a convex vector bundle over a smooth projective manifold X, and let Y be the subset of X which is the zero locus of a regular section of V. This mostly expository paper discusses a conjecture which relates the virtual fundamental classes of X and Y. Using an argument due to Gathmann, we prove a special case of...
Let $X$ be a complete variety of dimension $n$ over an algebraically closed field $\mathbf{K}$. Let $V_\bullet$ be a graded linear series associated to a line bundle $L$ on $X$, that is, a collection $\{V_m\}_{m\in\mathbb{N}}$ of vector subspaces $V_m\subseteq H^0(X,L^{\otimes m})$ such that $V_0=\mathbf{K}$ and $V_k\...
We describe a connected component of the space of stability conditions on abelian threefolds, and on Calabi-Yau threefolds obtained as (the crepant resolution of) a finite quotient of an abelian threefold. Our proof includes the following essential steps: <br>1.
In this work, we investigate generalized Weierstrass semigroups in arbitrary Kummer extensions of function field $\mathbb{F}_q(x)$. We analyze their structure and properties, with a particular emphasis on their maximal elements.
In this paper, we define a certain Hodge-theoretic structure for an arbitrary variety X over the complex number field by using the theory of mixed Hodge module due to Morihiko Saito. We call it an arithmetic Hodge structure of X. It is shown that extension groups of arithmetic Hodge structure do not vanish even for de...
Let X be a real nondegenerate projective subvariety such that its set of real points is Zariski dense. We prove that every real quadratic form that is nonnegative on X is a sum of squares of linear forms if and only if X is a variety of minimal degree.
Semifields are semirings in which every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse. A rough classification uses the characteristic of the semifield, that is the isomorphism type of the semifield generated by the two neutral elements.
The purpose of this paper is to prove the following theorem. Let $X$ be a projective normal variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $\Omega_{X}^{1}\to L$ be a one-dimensional foliation on $X$.
The aim of this article is to report on recent progress in understanding mirror symmetry for some non-complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds. We first construct four new smooth non-complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds with h^{1,1}=1, whose existence was previously conjectured by C. van Enckevort and D. van...
We survey applications of Bridgeland stability conditions in algebraic geometry and discuss open questions for future research.
Let $(X,\omega_X)$ be a derived scheme with a 0-symplectic form and suppose there is a Hamiltonian $G$-action with a moment map for $G$ a reductive group. We prove, under no further assumptions, that symplectic reduction along any coadjoint orbit in the category of derived Artin stacks has a 0-symplectic form.
We establish a ramified class field theory for smooth projective curves over local fields. As key steps in the proof, we obtain new results in the class field theory for 2-dimensional local fields of positive characteristic, and prove a duality theorem for the logarithmic Hodge-Witt cohomology on affine curves over lo...
We study normal finite abelian covers of smooth varieties. In particular we establish combinatorial conditions so that a normal finite abelian cover of a smooth variety is Gorenstein or locally complete intersection.
We study Kustin--Miller unprojections of Calabi--Yau threefolds. As an application we work out the geometric properties of Calabi--Yau threefolds defined as linear sections of determinantal varieties. We compute their Hodge numbers and describe the morphisms corresponding to the faces of their Kähler--Mori cone.
We show that detecting real roots for honestly n-variate (n+2)-nomials (with integer exponents and coefficients) can be done in time polynomial in the sparse encoding for any fixed n. The best previous complexity bounds were exponential in the sparse encoding, even for n fixed.
We prove Barth-type connectedness results for low-codimension smooth subvarieties with good numerical properties inside certain &#34;easy&#34; ambient spaces (such as homogeneous varieties, or spherical varieties). The argument employs some basics from the theory of cones of cycle classes, in particular the notion of ...
We define a formal algebraic analogue of hypertoric Hitchin systems, whose complex-analytic counterparts were defined by Hausel-Proudfoot. These are algebraic completely integrable systems associated to a graph.
We establish some properties of the derived category of torus-equivariant coherent sheaves on a split toric stack bundle. Our main result is a semi-orthogonal decomposition of such a category.
Let X be an n-dimensional Calabi-Yau with ordinary double points, where n is odd. Friedman showed that for n=3 the existence of a smoothing of X implies a specific type of relation between homology classes on a resolution of X. (The converse is also true, due to work of Friedman, Kawamata and Tian.) <br>We sketch a mo...
Let $F\subseteq\mathbb P ^{a+1}$ be a non-degenerate $K3$ surface of degree $2a$, where $a\ge2$. In this paper we deal with Ulrich bundles on $F$ of rank $2$.
We prove that every Hassett&#39;s Noether-Lefschetz divisor of special cubic fourfolds contains a union of three codimension-two subvarieties, parametrizing rational cubic fourfolds, in the moduli space of smooth cubic fourfolds.
The concept of $tt^*$ geometric structure was introduced by physicists (see \cite{CV1, BCOV} and references therein) , and then studied firstly in mathematics by C. Hertling \cite{Het1}. It is believed that the $tt^*$ geometric structure contains the whole genus $0$ information of a two dimensional topological field t...
The present work is a user&#39;s guide to the results of a previous paper by the second and third authors, where a description of the space of characters of a quasi-projective variety was given in terms of global quotient orbifold pencils. <br>Below we consider the case of plane curve complements and hyperplane arrang...
Generalizing work of Smith and Hara, we give a new characterization of log-terminal singularities for finitely generated algebras over $\mathbb C$, in terms of purity properties of ultraproducts of characteristic $p$ Frobenii. <br>The first application is a Boutôt-type theorem for log-terminal singularities: given a p...
Let $SU_X(n,L)$ be the moduli space of rank n semistable vector bundles with fixed determinant L on a smooth projective genus g curve X. Let $SU_X^s(n,L)$ denote the open subset parametrizing stable bundles. We show that if g&gt;3 and n &gt; 1, then the mixed Hodge structure on $H^3(SU_X^s(n, L))$ is pure of type ${(1...
We classify the polarized symplectic automorphisms of Fano varieties of smooth cubic fourfolds (equipped with the Plücker polarization) and study the fixed loci.
Motivated by the relationship between numerical Grothendieck groups induced by the embedding of a smooth anticanonical elliptic curve into a del Pezzo surface, we define the notion of a quasi del Pezzo homomorphism between pseudolattices and establish its basic properties. The primary aim of the paper is then to prove...
We describe the perverse filtration in cohomology using the Lefschetz Hyperplane Theorem.
This paper gives a map from the set of families of arcs on a variety to the set of valuations on the rational function field of the variety We characterize a family of arcs which corresponds to a divisorial valuation by this map. We can see that both the Nash map and a certain McKay correspondence are the restrictions...

We study the structure of a log smooth pair when the equality holds in the Bogomolov-Gieseker inequality for the logarithmic tangent bundle and this bundle is semistable with respect to some ample divisor. We also study the case of the canonical extension sheaf.
