When studying a graded module $M$ over the Cox ring of a smooth projective toric variety $X$, there are two standard types of resolutions commonly used to glean information: free resolutions of $M$ and vector bundle resolutions of its sheafification. Each approach comes with its own challenges. There is geometric information that free resolutions fail to encode, while vector bundle resolutions can resist study using algebraic and combinatorial techniques. Recently, Berkesch, Erman, and Smith introduced virtual resolutions, which capture desirable geometric information and are also amenable to algebraic and combinatorial study. The theory of virtual resolutions includes a notion of a virtually Cohen--Macaulay property, though tools for assessing which modules are virtually Cohen--Macaulay have only recently started to be developed. In this paper, we continue this research program in two related ways. The first is that, when $X$ is a product of projective spaces, we produce a large new class of virtually Cohen--Macaulay Stanley--Reisner rings, which we show to be virtually Cohen--Macaulay via explicit constructions of appropriate virtual resolutions reflecting the underlying combinatorial structure. The second is that, for an arbitrary smooth projective toric variety $X$, we develop homological tools for assessing the virtual Cohen--Macaulay property. Some of these tools give exclusionary criteria, and others are constructive methods for producing suitably short virtual resolutions. We also use these tools to establish relationships among the arithmetically, geometrically, and virtually Cohen--Macaulay properties., Accepted to Transactions of the London Mathematical Society

We show that coinvariants of modules over vertex operator algebras give rise to quasicoherent sheaves on moduli of stable pointed curves. These generalize Verlinde bundles or vector bundles of conformal blocks defined using affine Lie algebras studied first by Tsuchiya, Kanie, Ueno and Yamada, and extend work of others. The sheaves carry a twisted logarithmic 𝒟 –module structure, and hence support a projectively flat connection. We identify the logarithmic Atiyah algebra acting on them, generalizing work of Tsuchimoto for affine Lie algebras.

Let S be a nonsingular projective surface. Each vector bundle V on S of rank s induces a tautological vector bundle over the Hilbert scheme of n points of S. When s = 1, the top Segre classes of the tautological bundles are given by a recently proven formula conjectured in 1999 by M. Lehn. We calculate here the Segre classes of the tautological bundles for all ranks s over all K-trivial surfaces. Furthermore, in rank s = 2, the Segre integrals are determined for all surfaces, thus establishing a full analogue of Lehn's formula. We also give conjectural formulas for certain series of Verlinde Euler characteristics over the Hilbert schemes of points., Journal of the European Mathematical Society, 24 (8), ISSN:1435-9855, ISSN:1435-9863

Let X be a smooth projective complex curve of genus g ≥ 2 and let M X (2,Λ) be the moduli space of semi-stable rank-2 vector bundles over X with fixed determinant Λ. We show that the wobbly locus, i.e. the locus of semi-stable vector bundles admitting a non-zero nilpotent Higgs field, is a union of divisors 𝓦 k ⊂ M X (2,Λ). We show that on one wobbly divisor the set of maximal subbundles is degenerate. We also compute the class of the divisors 𝓦 k in the Picard group of M X (2, Λ).

We rework the Mori-Mukai classification of Fano 3-folds, by describing each of the 105 families via biregular models as zero loci of general global sections of homogeneous vector bundles over products of Grassmannians., Comment: Minor changes. To appear in Rev. Mat. Complut

In this article, we establish a motivic analog of an enumeration result of James-Thomas on non-stable vector bundles in topological setting. Using this, we obtain results on enumeration of projective modules of rank $d$ over a smooth affine $k$-algebra $A$ of dimension $d$, recovering in particular results of Suslin and Bhatwadekar on cancellation of such vector bundles. Admitting a conjecture of Asok and Fasel, we prove cancellation of such vector bundles of rank $d-1$ if the base field $k$ is algebraically closed. We also explore the cancellation properties of symplectic vector bundles., Comment: New version, 37 pages. Added a cancellation result for symplectic vector bundles and exposition improved. Comments are welcome!

We study a singular Hermitian metric of a vector bundle. First, we prove the sheaf of locally square integrable holomorphic sections of a vector bundle with a singular Hermitian metric, which is a higher rank analogy of a multiplier ideal sheaf, is coherent under some assumptions. Second, we prove a Nadel-Nakano type vanishing theorem of a vector bundle with a singular Hermitian metric. We do not use an approximation technique of a singular Hermitian metric. We apply these theorems to a singular Hermitian metric induced by holomorphic sections and a big vector bundle, and we obtain a generalization of Griffiths' vanishing theorem. Finally, we show a generalization of Ohsawa's vanishing theorem.

We propose definitions of complex manifolds $\mathcal{P}_M(X,m,n)$ that could potentially be used to construct the symplectic Khovanov homology of $n$-stranded links in lens spaces. The manifolds $\mathcal{P}_M(X,m,n)$ are defined as moduli spaces of Hecke modifications of rank 2 parabolic bundles over an elliptic curve $X$. To characterize these spaces, we describe all possible Hecke modifications of all possible rank 2 vector bundles over $X$, and we use these results to define a canonical open embedding of $\mathcal{P}_M(X,m,n)$ into $M^s(X,m+n)$, the moduli space of stable rank 2 parabolic bundles over $X$ with trivial determinant bundle and $m+n$ marked points. We explicitly compute $\mathcal{P}_M(X,1,n)$ for $n=0,1,2$. For comparison, we present analogous results for the case of rational curves, for which a corresponding complex manifold $\mathcal{P}_M(\mathbb{CP}^1,3,n)$ is isomorphic for $n$ even to a space $\mathcal{Y}(S^2,n)$ defined by Seidel and Smith that can be used to compute the symplectic Khovanov homology of $n$-stranded links in $S^3$., Comment: 29 pages, 1 figure; extensively revised; new methods are used to describe Hecke modifications in order to obtain more concise proofs

In this article, we construct non-compact complete Einstein metrics on two infinite series of manifolds. The first series of manifolds are vector bundles with $\mathbb{S}^{4m+3}$ as principal orbit and $\mathbb{HP}^{m}$ as singular orbit. The second series of manifolds are $\mathbb{R}^{4m+4}$ with the same principal orbit. For each case, a continuous 1-parameter family of complete Ricci-flat metrics and a continuous 2-parameter family of complete negative Einstein metrics are constructed. In particular, $\mathrm{Spin}(7)$ metrics $\mathbb{A}_8$ and $\mathbb{B}_8$ discovered by Cveti\v{c} et al. in 2004 are recovered in the Ricci-flat family. A Ricci flat metric with conical singularity is also constructed on $\mathbb{R}^{4m+4}$. Asymptotic limits of all Einstein metrics constructed are studied. Most of the Ricci-flat metrics are asymptotically locally conical (ALC). Asymptotically conical (AC) metrics are found on the boundary of the Ricci-flat family. All the negative Einstein metrics constructed are asymptotically hyperbolic (AH)., Comment: Remark 3.6 added. Details for Proposition 5.2 and Lemma 5.6 added

In this paper we study the problem of extension of holomorphic sections of adjoint line bundles/vector bundles from reduced unions of strata of divisors. We prove a qualitative extension theorem for adjoint bundles. The main technical result is an extension theorem of the Ohsawa–Takegoshi type.

This paper is devoted to study the geometry of vector bundle manifolds equipped with spherically symmetric metrics. We will compute the curvature tensor, the sectional curvature, the Ricci curvature tensor and the scalar curvature. We will then characterize spherically symmetric metrics of constant sectional curvature. Moreover, we will establish some rigidity results regarding the scalar curvature and the Ricci curvature. Finally, we investigate geodesics using the fundamental tensors of a submersion.

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve, and let $E$ be a vector bundle on $X$ which is not semistable. For a suitably chosen integer $r$, let $\text{Gr}(E)$ be the Grassmann bundle over $X$ that parametrizes the quotients of the fibers of $E$ of dimension $r$. Assuming some numerical conditions on the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of $E$, we study Seshadri constants of ample line bundles on $\text{Gr}(E)$. In many cases, we give the precise value of Seshadri constant. Our results generalize various known results for ${\rm rank}(E)=2$., Final version; Annales Inst. Fourier (to appear)

We consider a uniform r-bundle E on a complex rational homogeneous space X and show that if E is poly-uniform with respect to all the special families of lines and the rank r is less than or equal to some number that depends only on X, then E is either a direct sum of line bundles or unstable with respect to some numerical class of a line. So we partially answer a problem posted by Muñoz et al. (Eur J Math 6:430–452, 2020). In particular, if X is a generalized Grassmannian \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${\mathcal {G}}$$\end{document}G and the rank r is less than or equal to some number that depends only on X, then E splits as a direct sum of line bundles. So we improve the main theorem of Muñoz et al. (J Reine Angew Math (Crelles J) 664:141–162, 2012, Theorem 3.1) when X is a generalized Grassmannian. Moreover, by calculating the relative tangent bundles between two rational homogeneous spaces, we give explicit bounds for the generalized Grauert–Mülich–Barth theorem on rational homogeneous spaces.

We produce a Grothendieck transformation from bivariant operational $K$-theory to Chow, with a Riemann-Roch formula that generalizes classical Grothendieck-Verdier-Riemann-Roch. We also produce Grothendieck transformations and Riemann-Roch formulas that generalize the classical Adams-Riemann-Roch and equivariant localization theorems. As applications, we exhibit a projective toric variety $X$ whose equivariant $K$-theory of vector bundles does not surject onto its ordinary $K$-theory, and describe the operational $K$-theory of spherical varieties in terms of fixed-point data. In an appendix, Vezzosi studies operational $K$-theory of derived schemes and constructs a Grothendieck transformation from bivariant algebraic $K$-theory of relatively perfect complexes to bivariant operational $K$-theory., 46 pages, with an appendix by G.

As an application, we prove that, for each solution ( a , b , c ) (a,b,c) such that a > 0 a>0 , b - 2 ⁢ a > 0 b-2a>0 and ( b - 2 ⁢ a ) 2 ≥ 4 ⁢ a (b-2a)^{2}\geq 4a , there is a vector bundle 𝐸 on P 3 \mathbb{P}^{3} defined by a minimal linear resolution 0 → O P 3 ⁢ ( - 2 ) a → O P 3 ⁢ ( - 1 ) b → O P 3 c → E → 0 0\to\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^{3}}(-2)^{a}\to\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^{3}}(-1)^{b}\to\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^{3}}^{c}\to E\to 0 .

We prove that the only rational homogeneous varieties with Picard number 1 of the exceptional algebraic groups admitting irreducible equivariant Ulrich vector bundles are the Cayley plane $E_6/P_1$ and the $E_7$-adjoint variety $E_7/P_1$. From this result, we see that a general hyperplane section $F_4/P_4$ of the Cayley plane also has an equivariant but non-irreducible Ulrich bundle., Comment: 18 pages

We give an arithmetic count of the lines on a smooth cubic surface over an arbitrary field $k$, generalizing the counts that over $\mathbb{C}$ there are $27$ lines, and over $\mathbb{R}$ the number of hyperbolic lines minus the number of elliptic lines is $3$. In general, the lines are defined over a field extension $L$ and have an associated arithmetic type $\alpha$ in $L^*/(L^*)^2$. There is an equality in the Grothendieck-Witt group $\operatorname{GW}(k)$ of $k$ $$\sum_{\text{lines}} \operatorname{Tr}_{L/k} \langle \alpha \rangle = 15 \cdot \langle 1 \rangle + 12 \cdot \langle -1 \rangle, $$ where $\operatorname{Tr}_{L/k}$ denotes the trace $\operatorname{GW}(L) \to \operatorname{GW}(k)$. Taking the rank and signature recovers the results over $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{R}$. To do this, we develop an elementary theory of the Euler number in $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy theory for algebraic vector bundles. We expect that further arithmetic counts generalizing enumerative results in complex and real algebraic geometry can be obtained with similar methods., Comment: 34 pages.

A hom-Lie algebroid is a vector bundle together with a Lie algebroid-like structure which is twisted by a homomorphism and a VB-hom algebroid is essentially defined as a hom-Lie algebroid object in the category of vector bundles. In this paper, we show that, there exists a correspondence between the VB-hom algebroids and two term representations up to homotopy of hom-Lie algebroid.

In this paper, we deal with a particular class of rank two vector bundles (instanton bundles) on the Fano threefold of index one F:=F1×P1. We show that every instanton bundle on F can be described ...

A well-known Calabi’s rigidity theorem on holomorphic isometric immersions into the complex projective space is generalized to the case that the target is the complex Grassmann manifolds. Our strategy is to use the differential geometry of vector bundles and a generalization of do Carmo and Wallach theory developed in Nagatomo (Harmonic maps into Grassmann manifolds. arXiv:mathDG/1408.1504 ). We introduce the associated maps with holomorphic maps to obtain a general rigidity theorem (Theorem 5.6). As applications, several rigidity results on Einstein–Hermitian holomorphic maps are exhibited and we also give an interpretation of the existence of a Kahler structure with an $$S^1$$ -action on the moduli spaces of holomorphic isometric embeddings of a compact Kahler manifold into complex quadrics. Theorem 5.6 also implies classification theorems for equivariant holomorphic maps.

In this paper, we prove that for the oper stratification of the de Rham moduli space $M_{\mathrm{dR}}(X,r)$, the closed oper stratum is the unique minimal stratum with dimension $r^2(g-1)+g+1$, and the open dense stratum consisting of irreducible flat bundles with stable underlying vector bundles is the unique maximal stratum., Comment: This paper comes from the last section of arXiv:1905.10765v1 as an independent paper.

From 1980s, it is an open problem of proposing cohomologic formula for the basic index of a transversally elliptic basic differential operator on a vector bundle over a foliated manifold. In 1990s, El Kacimi-Alaoui has proprosed to use the Molino theory for study this index. Molino has proved that to every transversally oriented Riemannien foliation, we can associate a manifold, called basique manifold, which is \'equiped with an action of orthogonal group, El Kacimi-Alaoui has shown how to associate a transversally elliptic basic differential operator an operator on a vector bundle, called useful bundle, over the basique manifold. The idea is to obtain the desired cohomologic formula from r\'esultats about the operator on the useful bundle. This thesis is a first step in this direction. While the Riemannien foliation is Killing, Goertsches et T\"oben have remarked that there exists a naturel cohomologic isomorphism between the equivariant basique cohomology of the Killing foliation and the equivariant cohomology of the basique manifold. The principal result of this thesis is the geometric realisation of the cohomologic isomorphism by Chern characters under some hypoth\`eses., Comment: Phd thesis, in French.

We develop the theory of smooth principal bundles for a smooth group G, using the framework of diffeological spaces. After giving new examples showing why arbitrary principal bundles cannot be classified, we define D-numerable bundles, the smooth analogs of numerable bundles from topology, and prove that pulling back a D-numerable bundle along smoothly homotopic maps gives isomorphic pullbacks. We then define smooth structures on Milnor’s spaces EG and BG, show that EG → BG is a D-numerable principal bundle, and prove that it classifies all D-numerable principal bundles over any diffeological space. We deduce analogous classification results for D-numerable diffeological bundles and vector bundles.

We investigate the nondegeneracy of higher order Levi forms on weakly nondegenerate homogeneous $CR$ manifolds. Improving previous results, we prove that general orbits of real forms in complex flag manifolds have order less or equal $3$ and the compact ones less or equal~$2$. Finally we construct by Lee extensions weakly nondegenerate $CR$ vector bundles with arbitrary orders of nondegeneracy., Comment: 29 pages

Let R = K [ x , y , z ] be a standard graded polynomial ring where K is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let M = ⊕ j M j be a finite length graded R-module. We say that M has the Weak Lefschetz Property if there is a homogeneous element L of degree one in R such that the multiplication map × L : M j → M j + 1 has maximal rank for every j. The main result of this paper is to show that if E is a locally free sheaf of rank 2 on P 2 then the first cohomology module of E , H ⁎ 1 ( P 2 , E ) , has the Weak Lefschetz Property.

Let 𝓔 k denote the set of diffeomorphism classes of closed connected smooth k-manifolds X with the property that for any oriented vector bundle α over X, the Euler class e(α) = 0. We show that if X ∈ 𝓔2n+1 is orientable, then X is a rational homology sphere and π 1(X) is perfect. We also show that 𝓔8 = ∅ and derive additional cohomlogical restrictions on orientable manifolds in 𝓔 k .

Let E be a Hermitian vector bundle over a complete Kahler manifold (X, ω), dimℂX = n, with a d(bounded) Kahler form ω, and let dA be a Hermitian connection on E. The goal of this article is to study the L2-Hodge theory on the vector bundle E. We extend the results of Gromov [18] to the Hermitian vector bundle. Finally, as an application, we prove a gap result for the Yang-Mills connection on the bundle E over X.

We wish to investigate continuous fields of the Cuntz algebras. The Cuntz algebras $${\mathcal {O}}_{n+1}, n\ge 1$$ play an important role in the theory of operator algebras, and they are characterized by their K-groups $$K_0({\mathcal {O}}_{n+1})={\mathbb {Z}}_n$$ , the cyclic groups of order $$n\ge 1$$ . Since the mod n K-group for a compact Hausdorff space can be realized by the K-group of the trivial continuous field of $${\mathcal {O}}_{n+1}$$ over the space, one can regard $${\mathcal {O}}_{n+1}$$ as a noncommutative analogue of the Moore space of $${\mathbb {Z}}_n$$ , and classifying continuous fields of the Cuntz algebras is an interesting problem. M. Dadarlat classifies these fields which are constructed from the vector bundles of rank $$n+1$$ , and he also showed that not every continuous field comes from the vector bundle. For a continuous field of $${\mathcal {O}}_{n+1}$$ over a finite CW complex, we introduce a topological invariant, which is an element in Dadarlat–Pennig’s generalized cohomology group, and prove that the invariant is trivial if and only if the field comes from a vector bundle via Pimsner’s construction.

In this note, we give a brief exposition on the differences and similarities between strictly nef and ample vector bundles, with particular focus on the circle of problems surrounding the geometry of projective manifolds with strictly nef bundles.

We study the space of holomorphic discs with boundary on a surface in a real 2-dimensional vector bundle over a compact 2-manifold. We prove that, if the ambient 4-manifold admits a fibre-preserving transitive holomorphic action, then a section with a single complex point has $C^{2,\alpha}$-close sections such that any (non-multiply covered) holomorphic disc with boundary in these sections are Fredholm regular. Fredholm regularity is also established when the complex surface is neutral K\"ahler, the action is both holomorphic and symplectic, and the section is Lagrangian with a single complex point., Comment: 9 pages LaTEX, to appear in Ann. Fac. Sci. Toulouse Math. Essentially a revised version of Section 2.2 of the Proof of the Caratheodory Conjecture by the same authors posted at arXiv: arXiv:0808.0851

Let X be a Hopf manifold with non-Abelian fundamental group and E be a holomorphic vector bundle over X, with trivial pull-back to ℂn − {0}. The authors show that there exists a line bundle L over X such that E ⊗ L has a nowhere vanishing section. It is proved that in case dim(X) ≥ 3, π*(E) is trivial if and only if E is filtrable by vector bundles. With the structure theorem, the authors get the cohomology dimension of holomorphic bundle E over X with trivial pull-back and the vanishing of Chern class of E.

We prove that, for any Fuchsian system of differential equations on the Riemann sphere, there exists a rational matrix function whose partial indices coincide with the splitting type of the canonical vector bundle induced from the Fuchsian system. From this, we obtain solution of the Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problem for piecewise constant matrix function in terms of holomorphic sections of vector bundle and calculate the partial indices of the problem.

The physics of topological insulators makes it possible to understand and predict the existence of unidirectional waves trapped along an edge or an interface. In this review, we describe how these ideas can be adapted to geophysical and astrophysical waves. We deal in particular with the case of planetary equatorial waves, which highlights the key interplay between rotation and sphericity of the planet, to explain the emergence of waves which propagate their energy only towards the East. These minimal ingredients are precisely those put forward in the geometric interpretation of the Foucault pendulum. We discuss this classic example of mechanics to introduce the concepts of holonomy and vector bundle which we then use to calculate the topological properties of equatorial shallow water waves., Comment: Short review for the Comptes Rendus - Physique (Acad\'emie des Sciences)

Let (M,g) be a compact Kahler manifold and (E,F) be a holomorphic Finsler vector bundle of rank r ≥ 2over M. In this paper, we prove that there exists a Kahler metric Φ defined on the projective bundle P(E)of E, which comes naturally from g and F. Moreover, a necessary and sufficient condition for Φ having positive scalar curvature is obtained, and a sufficient condition for Φ having positive Ricci curvature is established.

Let S be a regular surface endowed with a very ample line bundle $$\mathcal O_S(h_S)$$ O S ( h S ) . Taking inspiration from a very recent result by D. Faenzi on K3 surfaces, we prove that if $${\mathcal O}_S(h_S)$$ O S ( h S ) satisfies a short list of technical conditions, then such a polarized surface supports special Ulrich bundles of rank 2. As applications, we deal with general embeddings of regular surfaces, pluricanonically embedded regular surfaces and some properly elliptic surfaces of low degree in $$\mathbb {P}^{N}$$ P N . Finally, we also discuss about the size of the families of Ulrich bundles on S and we inspect the existence of special Ulrich bundles on surfaces of low degree.

We construct a minimal Lefschetz decomposition of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on the isotropic Grassmannian IGr(3, 7). Moreover, we show that IGr(3, 7) admits a full exceptional collection consisting of equivariant vector bundles.

In this paper, we present two applications of the theory of singular connections developed by Harvey and Lawson (1993). The first one is a version of the Lelong–Poincare formula with estimates for sections of vector bundles over an almost complex manifold. The second one is a convergence theorem for divisors associated to a general family of symplectic submanifolds constructed by Donaldson (1996) (the case of hypersurfaces) and by Auroux in (1997) (for arbitrary dimensional submanifolds).

Let $\overline{M}$ be a compact Riemann surface and let $g^{TM}$ be a metric over $\overline{M} \setminus D_M$, where $D_M \subset \overline{M}$ is a finite set of points. We suppose that $g^{TM}$ is equal to the Poincar\'e metric over a punctured disks around the points of $D_M$. The metric $g^{TM}$ endows the twisted canonical line bundle $\omega_M(D)$ with the induced Hermitian norm $\|\cdot\|_M$ over $\overline{M} \setminus D_M$. Let $(\xi, h^{\xi})$ be a holomorphic Hermitian vector bundle over $\overline{M}$. In this article we define the analytic torsion $T(g^{TM}, h^{\xi} \otimes \|\cdot\|_M^{2n})$ associated with $(M, g^{TM})$ and $(\xi \otimes \omega_M(D)^n, h^{\xi} \otimes \|\cdot\|_M^{2n})$ for $n \leq 0$. We prove that $T(g^{TM}, h^{\xi} \otimes \|\cdot\|_M^{2n})$ is related to the analytic torsion of non-cusped surfaces. Then we prove the anomaly formula for the associated Quillen norm. The results of this paper will be used in the sequel to study the regularity of the Quillen norm and its asymptotics in a degenerating family of Riemann surfaces with cusps and to prove the curvature theorem. We also prove that our definition of the analytic torsion for hyperbolic surfaces is compatible with the one obtained through Selberg trace formula by Takhtajan-Zograf., Comment: 63 pages, 2 figures

We define and study the motive of the moduli stack of vector bundles of fixed rank and degree over a smooth projective curve in Voevodsky's category of motives. We prove that this motive can be written as a homotopy colimit of motives of smooth projective Quot schemes of torsion quotients of sums of line bundles on the curve. When working with rational coefficients, we prove that the motive of the stack of bundles lies in the localising tensor subcategory generated by the motive of the curve, using Bialynicki-Birula decompositions of these Quot schemes. We conjecture a formula for the motive of this stack, and we prove this conjecture modulo a conjecture on the intersection theory of the Quot schemes., 32 pages. We have moved the section on Bialynicki-Birula decompositions (Section 3 in v1) to another joint paper entitled 'On the Voevodsky motive of the moduli space of Higgs bundles on a curve'

International audience; We generalize work of Deligne and Gillet-Soulé on a functorial Riemann-Roch type isometry, to the case of the trivial sheaf on cusp compactifications of Riemann surfaces Γ\H, for Γ ⊂ PSL2(R) a fuchsian group of the first kind, equipped with the Poincaré metric. This metric is singular at cusps and elliptic fixed points, and the original results of Deligne and Gillet-Soulé do not apply to this setting. Our theorem relates the determinant of cohomology of the trivial sheaf, with an explicit Quillen type metric in terms of the Selberg zeta function of Γ, to a metrized version of the ψ line bundle of the theory of moduli spaces of pointed orbicurves, and the self-intersection bundle of a suitable twist of the canonical sheaf ωX. We make use of surgery techniques through Mayer-Vietoris formulae for determinants of laplacians, in order to reduce to explicit evaluations of such for model hyperbolic cusps and cones. We carry out these computations, that are of independent interest: we provide a rigorous method that fixes incomplete computations in theoretical physics, and that can be adapted to other geometries. We go on to derive an arithmetic Riemann-Roch formula in the realm of Arakelov geometry, that applies in particular to integral models of modular curves with elliptic fixed points. This vastly extends previous work of the first author, whose deformation theoretic methods were limited to the presence only of cusps. As an application, we treat in detail the case of the modular curve X(1), that already reveals the interesting arithmetic content of the metrized ψ line bundles. From this, we solve the longstanding question of evaluating the Selberg zeta special value Z (1, PSL2(Z)). The result is expressed in terms of logarithmic derivatives of Dirichlet L functions. In the analogy between Selberg zeta functions and Dedekind zeta functions of number fields, this formula can be seen as the analytic class number formula for Z(s, PSL2(Z)). The methods developed in this article were conceived so that they afford several variants, such as the determinant of cohomology of a flat unitary vector bundle with finite monodromies at cusps. Our work finds its place in the program initiated by Burgos-Kramer-Kühn of extending arithmetic intersection theory to singular hermitian vector bundles.

The Lubin-Tate moduli space X0rig is a p-adic analytic open unit polydisc which parametrizes deformations of a formal group H0 of finite height defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. It is known that the natural action of the automorphism group Aut(H0) on X0rig gives rise to locally analytic representations on the topological duals of the spaces H0(X0rig , (ℳ0 )rig) of global sections of certain equivariant vector bundles (ℳ0 )rig over X0rig . In this article, we show that this result holds in greater generality. On the one hand, we work in the setting of deformations of formal modules over the valuation ring of a finite extension of ℚp. On the other hand, we also treat the case of representations arising from the vector bundles (ℳ )rig over the deformation spaces Xrig with Drinfeld level-m-structures. Finally, we determine the space of locally finite vectors in H0(Xrig , (ℳ )rig). Essentially, all locally finite vectors arise from the global sections of invertible sheaves over the projective space via pullback along the Gross-Hopkins period map.

The goal of the paper is to apply the theory of integrable systems to construct explicit sections of line bundles over the combinatorial model of the moduli space of pointed Riemann surfaces based on Strebel differentials. These line bundles are tensor products of the determinants of the Hodge or Prym vector bundles with the standard tautological line bundles $$\mathcal {L}_j$$ , and the sections are constructed in terms of tau functions. The combinatorial model is interpreted as the real slice of a complex analytic moduli space of quadratic differentials where the phase of each tau-function provides a section of a circle bundle. The phase of the ratio of the Prym and Hodge tau functions gives a section of the $$\kappa _1$$ -circle bundle. By evaluating the increment of the phase around co-dimension 2 sub-complexes, we identify the Poincare dual cycles to the Chern classes of the corresponding line bundles: they are expressed explicitly as combination of Witten’s cycle $$W_{5} $$ and Kontsevich’s boundary. This provides combinatorial analogues of Mumford’s relations on $${\mathcal {M}}_{g,n}$$ and Penner’s relations in the hyperbolic combinatorial model. The free homotopy classes of loops around $$W_{5} $$ are interpreted as pentagon moves while those of loops around Kontsevich’s boundary as combinatorial Dehn twists. Throughout the paper we exploit the classical description of the combinatorial model in terms of Strebel differentials, parametrized in terms of period, or homological coordinates; we show that they provide Darboux coordinates for the symplectic structure introduced by Kontsevich. We also express the latter as the intersection pairing in the odd homology of the canonical double cover.

Let G be $$A_5$$ , $$A_4$$ , or a finite group with cyclic Sylow 2 subgroup. We show that every closed smooth G manifold M has a strongly algebraic model. This means, there exist a nonsingular real algebraic G variety X which is equivariantly diffeomorphic to M and all G vector bundles over X are strongly algebraic. Making use of improved blow-up techniques and the literature on equivariant bordism theory, we are extending older algebraic realization results.

This paper is a review of results on the structure of homogeneous ind-varieties G/P of the ind-groups G = GL∞(ℂ), SL∞(ℂ), SO∞(ℂ), and Sp∞(ℂ), subject to the condition that G/P is the inductive limit of compact homogeneous spaces Gn/Pn. In this case, the subgroup P ⊂ G is a splitting parabolic subgroup of G and the ind-variety G/P admits a “flag realization.” Instead of ordinary flags, one considers generalized flags that are, in general, infinite chains $$ \mathcal{C} $$ of subspaces in the natural representation V of G satisfying a certain condition; roughly speaking, for each nonzero vector 𝜐 of V , there exist the largest space in $$ \mathcal{C} $$ , which does not contain 𝜐, and the smallest space in $$ \mathcal{C} $$ , which contains v. We start with a review of the construction of ind-varieties of generalized flags and then show that these ind-varieties are homogeneous ind-spaces of the form G/P for splitting parabolic ind-subgroups P ⊂ G. Also, we briefly review the characterization of more general, i.e., nonsplitting, parabolic ind-subgroups in terms of generalized flags. In the special case of the ind-grassmannian X, we give a purely algebraic-geometric construction of X. Further topics discussed are the Bott–Borel–Weil theorem for ind-varieties of generalized flags, finite-rank vector bundles on ind-varieties of generalized flags, the theory of Schubert decomposition of G/P for arbitrary splitting parabolic ind-subgroups P ⊂ G, as well as the orbits of real forms on G/P for G = SL∞(ℂ).

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective curve, and let $x\in X$ be a point. We compute the automorphism group of the moduli space of framed vector bundles on $X$ of rank $r \geq 2$ with a framing over $x$. It is shown that this automorphism group is generated by the following three: (1) pullbacks using automorphisms of the curve $X$ that fix the marked point $x$, (2) tensorization with certain line bundles over $X$ and (3) the action of $\operatorname{PGL}_r(\mathbb{C})$ through composition with the framing., 33 pages

We study conditions of Hormander’s L2-estimate and the Ohsawa-Takegoshi extension theorem. Introducing a twisted version of the Hormander-type condition, we show a converse of Hormander L2-estimate under some regularity assumptions on an n-dimensional domain. This result is a partial generalization of the 1-dimensional result obtained by Berndtsson (1998). We also de_ne new positivity notions for vector bundles with singular Hermitian metrics by using these conditions. We investigate these positivity notions and compare them with classical positivity notions.

We analyze the deformation theory of equivariant vector bundles. In particular, we provide an effective criterion for verifying whether all infinitesimal deformations preserve the equivariant structure. As an application, using rigidity of the Frobenius homomorphism of general linear groups, we prove that projectivizations of Frobenius pullbacks of tautological vector bundles on Grassmanians are arithmetically rigid, that is, do not lift over rings where $$p \ne 0$$ . This gives the same conclusion for Totaro’s examples of Fano varieties violating Kodaira vanishing. We also provide an alternative purely geometric proof of non-liftability mod $$p^2$$ and to characteristic zero of the Frobenius homomorphism of a reductive group of non-exceptional type. In the appendix, written jointly with Piotr Achinger, we provide examples of non-liftable Calabi–Yau varieties in every characteristic $$p \geqslant 5$$ .

Let X be a complete toric variety equipped with the action of a torus T, and G a reductive algebraic group, defined over an algebraically closed field K. We introduce the notion of a compatible ∑-filtered algebra associated to X, generalizing the notion of a compatible ∑-filtered vector space due to Klyachko, where ∑ denotes the fan of X. We combine Klyachko's classification of T-equivariant vector bundles on X with Nori's Tannakian approach to principal G-bundles, to give an equivalence of categories between T-equivariant principal G-bundles on X and certain compatible ∑-filtered algebras associated to X, when the characteristic of K is 0.
