We prove that every smooth divisor in $\mathbb {P}^1\times \mathbb {P}^1\times \mathbb {P}^2$ of degree $(1,1,2)$ is K-stable.

In earlier work, the author introduced a method for constructing a Frobenius categorification of a cluster algebra with frozen variables by starting from the data of an internally Calabi–Yau algebra, which becomes the endomorphism algebra of a cluster-tilting object in the resulting category. In this paper, we construct appropriate internally Calabi–Yau algebras for cluster algebras with polarized principal coefficients (which differ from those with principal coefficients by the addition of more frozen variables) and obtain Frobenius categorifications in the acyclic case. Via partial stabilization, we then define extriangulated categories, in the sense of Nakaoka and Palu, categorifying acyclic principal coefficient cluster algebras, for which Frobenius categorifications do not exist in general. Many of the intermediate results used to obtain these categorifications remain valid without the acyclicity assumption, as we will indicate, and are interesting in their own right. Most notably, we provide a Frobenius version of Van den Bergh’s result that the Ginzburg dg-algebra of a quiver with potential is bimodule $3$ -Calabi–Yau.

We study fundamental properties of analytic K-theory of Tate rings such as homotopy invariance, Bass fundamental theorem, Milnor excision, and descent for admissible coverings.

Improving and clarifying a construction of Horowitz and Shelah, we show how to construct (in $\mathsf {ZF}$ , i.e., without using the Axiom of Choice) maximal cofinitary groups. Among the groups we construct, one is definable by a formula in second-order arithmetic with only a few natural number quantifiers.

In this paper, we study the Koszul property of the homogeneous coordinate ring of a generic collection of lines in $\mathbb {P}^n$ and the homogeneous coordinate ring of a collection of lines in general linear position in $\mathbb {P}^n.$ We show that if $\mathcal {M}$ is a collection of m lines in general linear position in $\mathbb {P}^n$ with $2m \leq n+1$ and R is the coordinate ring of $\mathcal {M},$ then R is Koszul. Furthermore, if $\mathcal {M}$ is a generic collection of m lines in $\mathbb {P}^n$ and R is the coordinate ring of $\mathcal {M}$ with m even and $m +1\leq n$ or m is odd and $m +2\leq n,$ then R is Koszul. Lastly, we show that if $\mathcal {M}$ is a generic collection of m lines such that

$$ \begin{align*} m> \frac{1}{72}\left(3(n^2+10n+13)+\sqrt{3(n-1)^3(3n+5)}\right),\end{align*} $$

$n \leq 6$

$m \leq 6$

The singularly perturbed Riccati equation is the first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation $\hbar \partial _x f = af^2 + bf + c$ in the complex domain where $\hbar $ is a small complex parameter. We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for exact solutions with prescribed asymptotics as $\hbar \to 0$ in a half-plane. These exact solutions are constructed using the Borel–Laplace method; that is, they are Borel summations of the formal divergent $\hbar $ -power series solutions. As an application, we prove existence and uniqueness of exact WKB solutions for the complex one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a rational potential.

Utilizing ultraproducts, Schoutens constructed a big Cohen–Macaulay (BCM) algebra $\mathcal {B}(R)$ over a local domain R essentially of finite type over $\mathbb {C}$ . We show that if R is normal and $\Delta $ is an effective $\mathbb {Q}$ -Weil divisor on $\operatorname {Spec} R$ such that $K_R+\Delta $ is $\mathbb {Q}$ -Cartier, then the BCM test ideal $\tau _{\widehat {\mathcal {B}(R)}}(\widehat {R},\widehat {\Delta })$ of $(\widehat {R},\widehat {\Delta })$ with respect to $\widehat {\mathcal {B}(R)}$ coincides with the multiplier ideal $\mathcal {J}(\widehat {R},\widehat {\Delta })$ of $(\widehat {R},\widehat {\Delta })$ , where $\widehat {R}$ and $\widehat {\mathcal {B}(R)}$ are the $\mathfrak {m}$ -adic completions of R and $\mathcal {B}(R)$ , respectively, and $\widehat {\Delta }$ is the flat pullback of $\Delta $ by the canonical morphism $\operatorname {Spec} \widehat {R}\to \operatorname {Spec} R$ . As an application, we obtain a result on the behavior of multiplier ideals under pure ring extensions.

In this note, we prove the semiampleness conjecture for Kawamata log terminal Calabi–Yau (CY) surface pairs over an excellent base ring. As applications, we deduce that generalized abundance and Serrano’s conjecture hold for surfaces. Finally, we study the semiampleness conjecture for CY threefolds over a mixed characteristic DVR.

We investigate a novel geometric Iwasawa theory for ${\mathbf Z}_p$ -extensions of function fields over a perfect field k of characteristic $p>0$ by replacing the usual study of p-torsion in class groups with the study of p-torsion class group schemes. That is, if $\cdots \to X_2 \to X_1 \to X_0$ is the tower of curves over k associated with a ${\mathbf Z}_p$ -extension of function fields totally ramified over a finite nonempty set of places, we investigate the growth of the p-torsion group scheme in the Jacobian of $X_n$ as $n\rightarrow \infty $ . By Dieudonné theory, this amounts to studying the first de Rham cohomology groups of $X_n$ equipped with natural actions of Frobenius and of the Cartier operator V. We formulate and test a number of conjectures which predict striking regularity in the $k[V]$ -module structure of the space $M_n:=H^0(X_n, \Omega ^1_{X_n/k})$ of global regular differential forms as $n\rightarrow \infty .$ For example, for each tower in a basic class of ${\mathbf Z}_p$ -towers, we conjecture that the dimension of the kernel of $V^r$ on $M_n$ is given by $a_r p^{2n} + \lambda _r n + c_r(n)$ for all n sufficiently large, where $a_r, \lambda _r$ are rational constants and $c_r : {\mathbf Z}/m_r {\mathbf Z} \to {\mathbf Q}$ is a periodic function, depending on r and the tower. To provide evidence for these conjectures, we collect extensive experimental data based on new and more efficient algorithms for working with differentials on ${\mathbf Z}_p$ -towers of curves, and we prove our conjectures in the case $p=2$ and $r=1$ .

Motivated by a new conjecture on the behavior of bricks, we start a systematic study of minimal $\tau $ -tilting infinite (min- $\tau $ -infinite, for short) algebras. In particular, we treat min- $\tau $ -infinite algebras as a modern counterpart of minimal representation-infinite algebras and show some of the fundamental similarities and differences between these families. We then relate our studies to the classical tilting theory and observe that this modern approach can provide fresh impetus to the study of some old problems. We further show that in order to verify the conjecture, it is sufficient to treat those min- $\tau $ -infinite algebras where almost all bricks are faithful. Finally, we also prove that minimal extending bricks have open orbits, and consequently obtain a simple proof of the brick analogue of the first Brauer–Thrall conjecture, recently shown by Schroll and Treffinger using some different techniques.

In this note, we correct an oversight regarding the modules from Definition 4.2 and proof of Lemma 5.12 in Baur et al. (Nayoga Math. J., 2020, 240, 322–354). In particular, we give a correct construction of an indecomposable rank $2$ module $\operatorname {\mathbb {L}}\nolimits (I,J)$ , with the rank 1 layers I and J tightly $3$ -interlacing, and we give a correct proof of Lemma 5.12.

We prove that a finite-dimensional algebra $ \Lambda $ is $ \tau $ -tilting finite if and only if all the bricks over $ \Lambda $ are finitely generated. This is obtained as a consequence of the existence of proper locally maximal torsion classes for $ \tau $ -tilting infinite algebras.

In characteristic $0$ , symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces (i.e., automorphisms preserving the global $2$ -form) and non-symplectic ones behave differently. In this paper, we consider the actions of the group schemes $\mu _{n}$ on K3 surfaces (possibly with rational double point [RDP] singularities) in characteristic p, where n may be divisible by p. We introduce the notion of symplecticness of such actions, and we show that symplectic $\mu _{n}$ -actions have similar properties, such as possible orders, fixed loci, and quotients, to symplectic automorphisms of order n in characteristic $0$ . We also study local $\mu _n$ -actions on RDPs.

We give examples of non-perverse parity sheaves on Schubert varieties for all primes.

We study triple covers of K3 surfaces, following Miranda (1985, American Journal of Mathematics 107, 1123–1158). We relate the geometry of the covering surfaces with the properties of both the branch locus and the Tschirnhausen vector bundle. In particular, we classify Galois triple covers computing numerical invariants of the covering surface and of its minimal model. We provide examples of non-Galois triple covers, both in the case in which the Tschirnhausen bundle splits into the sum of two line bundles and in the case in which it is an indecomposable rank 2 vector bundle. We provide a criterion to construct rank 2 vector bundles on a K3 surface S which determine a non-Galois triple cover of S. The examples presented are in any admissible Kodaira dimension, and in particular, we provide the constructions of irregular covers of K3 surfaces and of surfaces with geometrical genus equal to 2 whose transcendental Hodge structure splits in the sum of two Hodge structures of K3 type.

In this paper, we study the coherence of a higher rank analogue of a multiplier ideal sheaf. Key tools of the study are Hörmander’s $L^2$ -estimate and a singular version of a Demailly–Skoda-type result.

We relate the quantum cohomology of minuscule flag manifolds to the tt*-Toda equations, a special case of the topological–antitopological fusion equations which were introduced by Cecotti and Vafa in their study of supersymmetric quantum field theories. To do this, we combine the Lie-theoretic treatment of the tt*-Toda equations of Guest–Ho with the Lie-theoretic description of the quantum cohomology of minuscule flag manifolds from Chaput–Manivel–Perrin and Golyshev–Manivel.

Varieties fibered into del Pezzo surfaces form a class of possible outputs of the minimal model program. It is known that del Pezzo fibrations of degrees $1$ and $2$ over the projective line with smooth total space satisfying the so-called $K^2$ -condition are birationally rigid: their Mori fiber space structure is unique. This implies that they are not birational to any Fano varieties, conic bundles, or other del Pezzo fibrations. In particular, they are irrational. The families of del Pezzo fibrations with smooth total space of degree $2$ are rather special, as for most families a general del Pezzo fibration has the simplest orbifold singularities. We prove that orbifold del Pezzo fibrations of degree $2$ over the projective line satisfying explicit generality conditions as well as a generalized $K^2$ -condition are birationally rigid.

We study the p-rank stratification of the moduli space of cyclic degree $\ell $ covers of the projective line in characteristic p for distinct primes p and $\ell $ . The main result is about the intersection of the p-rank $0$ stratum with the boundary of the moduli space of curves. When $\ell =3$ and $p \equiv 2 \bmod 3$ is an odd prime, we prove that there exists a smooth trielliptic curve in characteristic p, for every genus g, signature type $(r,s)$ , and p-rank f satisfying the clear necessary conditions.

A (folklore?) conjecture states that no holomorphic modular form $F(\tau )=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty } a_nq^n\in q\mathbb Z[[q]]$ exists, where $q=e^{2\pi i\tau }$ , such that its anti-derivative $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty } a_nq^n/n$ has integral coefficients in the q-expansion. A recent observation of Broadhurst and Zudilin, rigorously accomplished by Li and Neururer, led to examples of meromorphic modular forms possessing the integrality property. In this note, we investigate the arithmetic phenomenon from a systematic perspective and discuss related transcendental extensions of the differentially closed ring of quasi-modular forms.
