Recent works at the interface of algebraic combinatorics, algebraic geometry, number theory and topology have provided new integer-valued invariants on integer partitions. It is natural to consider the distribution of partitions when sorted by these invariants in congruence classes. We consider the prominent situations that arise from extensions of the Nekrasov–Okounkov hook product formula and from Betti numbers of various Hilbert schemes of n points on ${\mathbb {C}}^2$ . For the Hilbert schemes, we prove that homology is equidistributed as $n\to \infty $ . For t-hooks, we prove distributions that are often not equidistributed. The cases where $t\in \{2, 3\}$ stand out, as there are congruence classes where such counts are zero. To obtain these distributions, we obtain analytic results of independent interest. We determine the asymptotics, near roots of unity, of the ubiquitous infinite products

$$ \begin{align*}F_1(\xi; q):=\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(1-\xi q^n\right), \ \ \ F_2(\xi; q):=\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(1-(\xi q)^n\right) \ \ \ {\mathrm{and}}\ \ \ F_3(\xi; q):=\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(1-\xi^{-1}(\xi q)^n\right). \end{align*} $$

Hausel and Rodriguez-Villegas (2015, Astérisque 370, 113–156) recently observed that work of Göttsche, combined with a classical result of Erdös and Lehner on integer partitions, implies that the limiting Betti distribution for the Hilbert schemes $(\mathbb {C}^{2})^{[n]}$ on $n$ points, as $n\rightarrow +\infty ,$ is a Gumbel distribution. In view of this example, they ask for further such Betti distributions. We answer this question for the quasihomogeneous Hilbert schemes $((\mathbb {C}^{2})^{[n]})^{T_{\alpha ,\beta }}$ that are cut out by torus actions. We prove that their limiting distributions are also of Gumbel type. To obtain this result, we combine work of Buryak, Feigin, and Nakajima on these Hilbert schemes with our generalization of the result of Erdös and Lehner, which gives the distribution of the number of parts in partitions that are multiples of a fixed integer $A\geq 2.$ Furthermore, if $p_{k}(A;n)$ denotes the number of partitions of $n$ with exactly $k$ parts that are multiples of $A$ , then we obtain the asymptotic

$$ \begin{align*} p_{k}(A,n)\sim \frac{24^{\frac k2-\frac14}(n-Ak)^{\frac k2-\frac34}}{\sqrt2\left(1-\frac1A\right)^{\frac k2-\frac14}k!A^{k+\frac12}(2\pi)^{k}}e^{2\pi\sqrt{\frac1{6}\left(1-\frac1A\right)(n-Ak)}}, \end{align*} $$

Let k be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. For any integer $m\ge 2$ , we show that the Hodge numbers of a smooth projective k-variety can take on any combination of values modulo m, subject only to Serre duality. In particular, there are no non-trivial polynomial relations between the Hodge numbers.

We correct the proof of the main $\ell$-independence result of the above-mentioned paper by showing that for any smooth and proper variety over an equicharacteristic local field, there exists a globally defined such variety with the same ($p$-adic and $\ell$-adic) cohomology.

In the joint work with Elmanto, Hoyois, Khan and Sosnilo, we computed infinite $\mathbb{P}^{1}$-loop spaces of motivic Thom spectra using the technique of framed correspondences. This result allows us to express non-negative $\mathbb{G}_{m}$-homotopy groups of motivic Thom spectra in terms of geometric generators and relations. Using this explicit description, we show that the unit map of the algebraic special linear cobordism spectrum induces an isomorphism on $\mathbb{G}_{m}$-homotopy sheaves.

Given a field $k$ of characteristic zero and $n\geqslant 0$, we prove that $H_{0}(\mathbb{Z}F(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}_{k}^{\bullet },\mathbb{G}_{m}^{\wedge n}))=K_{n}^{MW}(k)$, where $\mathbb{Z}F_{\ast }(k)$ is the category of linear framed correspondences of algebraic $k$-varieties, introduced by Garkusha and Panin [The triangulated category of linear framed motives $DM_{fr}^{eff}(k)$, in preparation] (see [Garkusha and Panin, Framed motives of algebraic varieties (after V. Voevodsky), Preprint, 2014, arXiv:1409.4372], § 7 as well), and $K_{\ast }^{MW}(k)$ is the Milnor–Witt $K$-theory of the base field $k$.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a line arrangement in the complex projective plane ${{\mathbb{P}}^{2}}$ and let $M$ be its complement. A rank one local system $\mathcal{L}$ on $M$ is admissible if, roughly speaking, the cohomology groups ${{H}^{m}}\left( M,\,\mathcal{L} \right)$ can be computed directly from the cohomology algebra ${{H}^{*}}\left( M,\,\mathbb{C} \right)$. In this work, we give a sufficient condition for the admissibility of all rank one local systems on $M$. As a result, we obtain some properties of the characteristic variety ${{\mathcal{V}}_{1}}\left( M \right)$ and the Resonance variety ${{\mathcal{R}}_{1}}\left( M \right)$.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a line arrangement in the complex projective plane ${{\mathbb{P}}^{2}}$, having the points of multiplicity $\ge \,3$ situated on two lines in $\mathcal{A}$, say ${{H}_{0}}$ and ${{H}_{\infty }}$. Then we show that the non-local irreducible components of the first resonance variety ${{\mathcal{R}}_{1}}(\mathcal{A})$ are 2-dimensional and correspond to parallelograms $P$ in ${{\mathbb{C}}^{2}}={{\mathbb{P}}^{2}}\text{ }\backslash \text{ }{{H}_{\infty }}$ whose sides are in $\mathcal{A}$ and for which ${{H}_{0}}$ is a diagonal.

We show that under a suitable transversality condition, the intersection of two rational subtori in an algebraic torus (ℂ*)n is a finite group which can be determined using the torsion part of some associated lattice. We also give applications to the study of characteristic varieties of smooth complex algebraic varieties. As an example we discuss A. Suciu’s line arrangement, the so-called deleted B3-arrangement.

Let n=2,3,4,5 and let X be a smooth complex projective hypersurface of . In this paper we find an effective lower bound for the degree of X, such that every holomorphic entire curve in X must satisfy an algebraic differential equation of order k=n=dim X, and also similar bounds for order k>n. Moreover, for every integer n≥2, we show that there are no such algebraic differential equations of order k<n for a smooth hypersurface in .

Equivariant holomorphic maps of Hermitian symmetric domains into Siegel upper half spaces can be used to construct families of abelian varieties parametrized by locally symmetric spaces, which can be regarded as complex torus bundles over the parameter spaces. We extend the construction of such torus bundles using 2-cocycles of discrete subgroups of the semisimple Lie groups associated to the given symmetric domains and investigate some of their properties. In particular, we determine their cohomology along the fibers.
