The main goal of this Letter is to give a new proof of a result conjectured by D. De George and N. Wallach and proved by P. Delorme and to extend it to the $S$-arithmetic setting. The proof is based on a density principle.

This paper studies affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties in the affine flag manifold of a split group. Among other things, it proves emptiness for certain of these varieties, relates some of them to those for Levi subgroups, and extends previous conjectures concerning their dimensions. We generalize the superset method, an algorithmic approach to the questions of non-emptiness and dimension. Our non-emptiness results apply equally well to the p-adic context and therefore relate to moduli of p-divisible groups and Shimura varieties with Iwahori level structure.

We prove a Givental-style mirror theorem for toric Deligne–Mumford stacks {\mathcal{X}}${\mathcal{X}}$. This determines the genus-zero Gromov–Witten invariants of {\mathcal{X}}${\mathcal{X}}$ in terms of an explicit hypergeometric function, called the I$I$-function, that takes values in the Chen–Ruan orbifold cohomology of {\mathcal{X}}${\mathcal{X}}$.

In Bull. Soc. Math. France 115 (1987), 399–456, Perrin-Riou formulates a form of the Iwasawa main conjecture which relates Heegner points to the Selmer group of an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, as one goes up the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of a quadratic imaginary field K. Building on the earlier work of Bertolini on this conjecture, and making use of the recent work of Mazur and Rubin on Kolyvagin's theory of Euler systems, we prove one divisibility of Perrin-Riou's conjectured equality. As a consequence, one obtains an upper bound on the rank of the Mordell–Weil group E(K) in terms of Heegner points.

The Chern–Ricci flow is an evolution equation of Hermitian metrics by their Chern–Ricci form, first introduced by Gill. Building on our previous work, we investigate this flow on complex surfaces. We establish new estimates in the case of finite time non-collapsing, analogous to some known results for the Kähler–Ricci flow. This provides evidence that the Chern–Ricci flow carries out blow-downs of exceptional curves on non-minimal surfaces. We also describe explicit solutions to the Chern–Ricci flow for various non-Kähler surfaces. On Hopf surfaces and Inoue surfaces these solutions, appropriately normalized, collapse to a circle in the sense of Gromov–Hausdorff. For non-Kähler properly elliptic surfaces, our explicit solutions collapse to a Riemann surface. Finally, we define a Mabuchi energy functional for complex surfaces with vanishing first Bott–Chern class and show that it decreases along the Chern–Ricci flow.

The present work is devoted to the study of motivic integration on quotient singularities. We give a new proof of a form of the McKay correspondence previously proved by Batyrev. The paper contains also some general results on motivic integration on arbitrary singular spaces.

We describe birational models and decide the rationality/unirationality of moduli spaces $\cal A$d (and $\cal A$levd) of (1, d)-polarized Abelian surfaces (with canonical level structure, respectively) for small values of d. The projective lines identified in the rational/unirational moduli spaces correspond to pencils of Abelian surfaces traced on nodal threefolds living naturally in the corresponding ambient projective spaces, and whose small resolutions are new Calabi–Yau threefolds with Euler characteristic zero.

The representation theory of polynomial growth strongly simply connected finite dimensional algebras over an algebraically closed field is established.

For p≥3 an odd prime and a nonnegative integer r≤p−2, we prove a conjecture of Breuil on lattices in semi-stable representations, that is, the anti-equivalence of categories between the category of strongly divisible lattices of weight r and the category of Galois stable -lattices in semi-stable p-adic Galois representations with Hodge–Tate weights in {0,…,r}.

We introduce the notion of twisted jets. For a Deligne–Mumford stack $\mathscr{X}$ of finite type over $\mathbb{C}$, a twisted $\infty$-jet on $\mathscr{X}$ is a representable morphism $\mathscr{D} \to \mathscr{X}$ such that $\mathscr{D}$ is a smooth Deligne–Mumford stack with the coarse moduli space Spec$\mathbb{C}[[t]]$. We study a motivic measure on the space of the twisted $\infty$-jets on a smooth Deligne–Mumford stack. As an application, we prove that two birational minimal models with Gorenstein quotient singularities have the same orbifold cohomology as a Hodge structure.

An irreducible representation of the extended affine Lie algebra of type $A_{n-1}$ coordinatized by a quantum torus of ν variables is constructed by using the Fock space for the principal vertex operator realization of the affine Lie algebra ${\widetilde{gl}_{n}$.

We study the cones of pseudoeffective and nef cycles of higher codimension on the self product of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication, and on the product of a very general abelian surface with itself. In both cases, we find for instance the existence of nef classes that are not pseudoeffective, answering in the negative a question raised by Grothendieck in correspondence with Mumford. We also discuss several problems and questions for further investigation.

Let $X$ be a smooth variety over a field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, and let $\mathcal{E}$ be an overconvergent isocrystal on $X$. We establish a criterion for the existence of a ‘canonical logarithmic extension’ of $\mathcal{E}$ to a smooth compactification $\overline{X}$ of $X$ whose complement is a strict normal crossings divisor. We also obtain some related results, including a form of Zariski–Nagata purity for isocrystals.

Gromov–Witten invariants have been constructed to be deformation invariant, but their behavior under other transformations is subtle. We show that logarithmic Gromov–Witten invariants are also invariant under appropriately defined logarithmic modifications.

In number theory, the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer (BSD) conjecture for a Selmer group relates the corank of a Selmer group of an elliptic curve over a number field to the order of zero of the associated $L$-function $L(E, s)$ at $s=1$. We study its modulo two version called the parity conjecture. The parity conjecture when a prime number $p$ is a good ordinary reduction prime was proven by Nekovar. We prove it when a prime number $p>3$ is a good supersingular reduction prime.

The main goal of the paper is to give explicit formulas for the fundamental classes of Schubert subschemes in Lagrangian and orthogonal Grassmannians of maximal isotropic subbundles as well as some globalizations of them. The used geometric tools overlap appropriate desingularizations of such Schubert subschemes and Gysin maps for such Grassmannian bundles. The main algebraic tools are provided by the families of $\tilde{Q}$- and $\tilde{P}$-polynomials introduced and investigated in the present paper. The key technical result of the paper is the computation of the class of the (relative) diagonal in isotropic Grassmannian bundles based on the orthogonality property of $\tilde{Q}$- and $\tilde{P}$-polynomials. Some relationships with quaternionic Schubert varieties and Schubert polynomials for classical groups are also discussed.

A new family of Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangian tori in the complex Euclidean plane is constructed. They are the first known unstable ones and are characterized in terms of being the only Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangian tori (with non-parallel mean curvature vector) in $C^2$ admitting a one-parameter group of isometries.

We study the back stable Schubert calculus of the infinite flag variety. Our main results are:

• – a formula for back stable (double) Schubert classes expressing them in terms of a symmetric function part and a finite part;

• – a novel definition of double and triple Stanley symmetric functions;

• – a proof of the positivity of double Edelman–Greene coefficients generalizing the results of Edelman–Greene and Lascoux–Schützenberger;

• – the definition of a new class of bumpless pipedreams, giving new formulae for double Schubert polynomials, back stable double Schubert polynomials, and a new form of the Edelman–Greene insertion algorithm;

• – the construction of the Peterson subalgebra of the infinite nilHecke algebra, extending work of Peterson in the affine case;

• – equivariant Pieri rules for the homology of the infinite Grassmannian;

• – homology divided difference operators that create the equivariant homology Schubert classes of the infinite Grassmannian.

We give a large family of weighted projective planes, blown up at a smooth point, that do not have finitely generated Cox rings. We then use the method of Castravet and Tevelev to prove that the moduli space \overline{M}_{0,n}$\overline{M}_{0,n}$ of stable n$n$-pointed genus-zero curves does not have a finitely generated Cox ring if n$n$ is at least 13$13$.

We prove the conjectural relations between Mahler measures and L-values of elliptic curves of conductors 20 and 24. We also present new hypergeometric expressions for L-values of elliptic curves of conductors 27 and 36. Furthermore, we prove a new functional equation for the Mahler measure of the polynomial family (1+X) (1+Y )(X+Y )−αXY, α∈ℝ.
