Let $f \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$ be a square-free polynomial of degree at least $3$, $m_i$, $i=1,2,3$, odd positive integers, and $a_i$, $i=1,2,3$, non-zero rational numbers. We show the existence of a rational function $D\in \mathbb{Q}(v_1,v_2,v_3,v_4)$ such that the Jacobian of the quadratic twist of $y^2=f(x)$ and the Jacobian of the $m_i$-twist, respectively, $2m_i$-twist, of $y^2=x^{m_i}+a_i^2$, $i=1,2,3$, by $D$ are all of positive Mordell–Weil ranks. As an application, we present families of hyperelliptic curves with large Mordell–Weil rank.
Under a natural assumption on the dynamical degrees, we prove that the Green currents associated to any Hénon-like map in any dimension have Hölder continuous super-potentials, i.e., give Hölder continuous linear functionals on suitable spaces of forms and currents. As a consequence, the unique measure of maximal entropy is the Monge-Ampère of a Hölder continuous plurisubharmonic function and has strictly positive Hausdorff dimension. Under the same assumptions, we also prove that the Green currents are woven. When they are of bidegree $(1,1)$, they are laminar. In particular, our results generalize results known until now only in algebraic settings, or in dimension 2.
Given a number field F with ring of integers $\mathcal {O}_{F}$, one can associate to any torsion free subgroup of $\operatorname {SL}(2,\mathcal {O}_{F})$ of finite index a complete Riemannian manifold of finite volume with fibered cusp ends. For natural choices of flat vector bundles on such a manifold, we show that analytic torsion is identified with the Reidemeister torsion of the Borel-Serre compactification. This is used to obtain exponential growth of torsion in the cohomology for sequences of congruence subgroups.
We provide a first-order homogenization result for quadratic functionals. In particular, we identify the scaling of the energy and the explicit form of the limiting functional in terms of the first-order correctors. The main novelty of the paper is the use of the dual correspondence between quadratic functionals and PDEs, combined with a refinement of the classical Riemann–Lebesgue lemma.
We introduce a notion of stratification for rigidly-compactly generated tensor-triangulated categories relative to the homological spectrum and develop the fundamental features of this theory. In particular, we demonstrate that it exhibits excellent descent properties. In conjunction with Balmer’s Nerves of Steel conjecture, we conclude that classical stratification also admits a general form of descent. This gives a uniform treatment of several recent stratification results and provides a complete answer to the question: When does stratification descend? As a new application, we extend earlier work on the tensor triangular geometry of equivariant module spectra from finite groups to compact Lie groups.
We prove that the average size of a mixed character sum
\begin{equation*}\sum_{1\leqslant n \leqslant x} \chi(n) e(n\theta) w(n/x)\end{equation*}
(for a suitable smooth function $w$) is on the order of $\sqrt{x}$ for all irrational real $\theta$ satisfying a weak Diophantine condition, where $\chi$ is drawn from the family of Dirichlet characters modulo a large prime $r$ and where $x\leqslant r$. In contrast, it was proved by Harper that the average size is $o(\sqrt{x})$ for rational $\theta$. Certain quadratic Diophantine equations play a key role in the present paper.
We consider induced representations $\operatorname {\mathrm {Ind}}_{\mathrm {P}(F)}^{\operatorname {\mathrm {G}}(F)} \pi $, where $\mathrm {P}$ is a maximal parabolic subgroup of a reductive group $\operatorname {\mathrm {G}}$ over a p-adic field F, and $(\pi , V)$ is a unitary supercuspidal representation of $\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}(F)$, $\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}$ being some Levi subgroup of $\mathrm {P}$. Imposing a certain ‘Heisenberg parabolic subgroup’ assumption on $\mathrm {P}$, we apply the method of Goldberg, Shahidi and Spallone to obtain an expression for a certain constant $R(\tilde {\pi })$, which captures the residue of a family $s \mapsto A(s, \pi , w_0)$ of intertwining operators associated to this situation, in terms of harmonic analysis on the twisted Levi subgroup $\tilde {\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}}(F) := \operatorname {\mathrm {M}}(F) w_0$. For $\operatorname {\mathrm {G}}$ absolutely almost simple and simply connected of type $G_2$ or $D_4$ (resp., $B_3$), and $\mathrm {P}$ satisfying the ‘Heisenberg’ condition, if the central character of $\pi $ is nontrivial (resp., trivial) on $\operatorname {\mathrm {A}}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}}(F)$, where $\operatorname {\mathrm {A}}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}}$ is the connected centre of $\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}$, our formula for $R(\tilde {\pi })$ can be rewritten in terms of the Langlands parameter of $\pi $, in the spirit of a prediction of Arthur. For the same collection of $\operatorname {\mathrm {G}}$ and $\mathrm {P}$, when these central character conditions are not satisfied, Arthur’s prediction combined with our formula for $R(\tilde {\pi })$ suggests a harmonic analytic formula for a product of one or two $\gamma $-factors associated to the situation.
In this work, we study a class of elliptic problems involving nonlinear superpositions of fractional operators of the form
\begin{equation*}A_{\mu,p}u := \int_{[0,1]} (-\Delta)_{p}^{s} u \, d\mu(s),\end{equation*}
where $\mu$ is a signed measure on $[0,1]$, coupled with nonlinearities of superlinear type. This kind of operator was introduced by S. Dipierro, K. Perera, C. Sportelli, and E. Valdinoci in [11]. Our analysis covers a variety of superlinear growth assumptions, beginning with the classical Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. Within this framework, we construct a suitable variational setting and apply the Fountain Theorem to establish the existence of infinitely many weak solutions. The results obtained are novel even in the special cases of superpositions of fractional $p$-Laplacians, or combinations of the fractional $p$-Laplacian with the $p$-Laplacian. More generally, our approach applies to finite sums of fractional $p$-Laplacians with different orders, as well as to operators in which fractional Laplacians appear with ‘wrong’ signs. A distinctive contribution of the paper lies in providing a unified variational framework that systematically accommodates this broad class of operators.
A well-known theorem of Nikiforov asserts that any graph with a positive $K_{r}$-density contains a logarithmic blowup of $K_r$. In this paper, we explore variants of Nikiforov’s result in the following form. Given $r,t\in \mathbb{N}$, when a positive $K_{r}$-density implies the existence of a significantly larger (with almost linear size) blowup of $K_t$? Our results include:
• For an $n$-vertex ordered graph $G$ with no induced monotone path $P_{6}$, if its complement $\overline {G}$ has positive triangle density, then $\overline {G}$ contains a biclique of size $\Omega ({n \over {\log n}})$. This strengthens a recent result of Pach and Tomon. For general $k$, let $g(k)$ be the minimum $r\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for any $n$-vertex ordered graph $G$ with no induced monotone $P_{2k}$, if $\overline {G}$ has positive $K_r$-density, then $\overline {G}$ contains a biclique of size $\Omega ({n \over {\log n}})$. Using concentration of measure and the isodiametric inequality on high dimensional spheres, we provide constructions showing that, surprisingly, $g(k)$ grows quadratically. On the other hand, we relate the problem of upper bounding $g(k)$ to a certain Ramsey problem and determine $g(k)$ up to a factor of 2.
• Any incomparability graph with positive $K_{r}$-density contains a blowup of $K_r$ of size $\Omega ({n \over {\log n}}).$ This confirms a conjecture of Tomon in a stronger form. In doing so, we obtain a strong regularity type lemma for incomparability graphs with no large blowups of a clique, which is of independent interest. We also prove that any $r$-comparability graph with positive $K_{(2h-2)^{r}+1}$-density contains a blowup of $K_h$ of size $\Omega (n)$, where the constant $(2h-2)^{r}+1$ is optimal.
The ${n \over {\log n}}$ size of the blowups in all our results are optimal up to a constant factor.
For a complete discrete valuation field K, we show that one may always glue a separated formal algebraic space $\mathfrak {X}$ over $\mathcal {O}_K$ to a separated algebraic space U over K along an open immersion of rigid spaces $j\colon \mathfrak {X}^{\mathrm {rig}}\to U^{\mathrm {an}}$, producing a separated algebraic space X over $\mathcal {O}_K$. This process gives rise to an equivalence between such ‘gluing triples’ $(U,\mathfrak {X},j)$ and separated algebraic spaces X over $\mathcal {O}_K$, which one might interpret as a version of the Beauville–Laszlo theorem for algebraic spaces rather than coherent sheaves. Moreover, an analogous equivalence exists over any excellent base. Examples due to Matsumoto imply that the result of such a gluing might be a genuine algebraic space (not a scheme) even if U and the special fibre of $\mathfrak {X}$ are projective. The proof is a combination of the Nagata compactification theorem for algebraic spaces and of Artin’s contraction theorem. We give multiple examples and applications of this idea.
Inspired by Bhatt–Scholze [BS22], in this article, we introduce prismatic cohomology for rigid analytic spaces with l.c.i. singularities, with coefficients over Fontaine’s de Rham period ring ${\mathrm {B_{dR}^+}}$.
In this paper, we consider asymptotic behaviours of multiscale multivalued stochastic systems with small noises. First of all, for general, fully coupled systems for multivalued stochastic differential equations of slow and fast motions with small noises in the slow components, we prove an averaging principle in the strong convergence sense. Moreover, a convergence rate is given in a special case. Next, for these systems, we establish the large deviation principle by the weak convergence approach. Then, for a special case, the rate function is explicitly characterized. Finally, we explain our results with an example.
We study the sets of points where a Lévy function and a translated Lévy function share a given couple of Hölder exponents, and we investigate how their Hausdorff dimensions depend on the translation parameter.
We study the relationship between the enumerative geometry of rational curves in local geometries and various versions of maximal contact logarithmic curve counts. Our approach is via quasimap theory, and we show versions of the [vGGR19] local/logarithmic correspondence for quasimaps, and in particular for normal crossings settings, where the Gromov-Witten theoretic formulation of the correspondence fails. The results suggest a link between different formulations of relative Gromov-Witten theory for simple normal crossings divisors via the mirror map. The main results follow from a rank reduction strategy, together with a new degeneration formula for quasimaps.
We consider steady-state diffusion in a bounded planar domain with multiple small targets on a smooth boundary. Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, we investigate the competition of these targets for a diffusing particle and the crucial role of surface reactions on the targets. We start from the classical problem of splitting probabilities for perfectly reactive targets with Dirichlet boundary conditions and improve some earlier results. We discuss how this approach can be generalised to partially reactive targets characterised by a Robin boundary condition. In particular, we show how partial reactivity reduces the effective size of the target. In addition, we consider more intricate surface reactions modelled by mixed Steklov-Neumann or Steklov-Neumann-Dirichlet problems. We provide the first derivation of the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for these spectral problems in the small-target limit. Finally, we show how our asymptotic approach can be extended to interior targets in the bulk and to exterior problems where diffusion occurs in an unbounded planar domain outside a compact set. Direct applications of these results to diffusion-controlled reactions are discussed.
We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of ground states of the following normalized nonlinear Schrödinger–Newton system with a point interaction:
where $p \gt 2$; $\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{R}$; $c \gt 0$ and $- \Delta_\alpha$ denotes the Laplacian of point interaction with s-wave scattering length $(- 2 \pi \alpha)^{- 1}$, the unknowns being $u \colon \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{C}$, $w \colon \mathbb{R}^2 \to \lbrack0, \infty\lbrack$ and the Lagrange multiplier $\omega \in \mathbb{R}$. Additionally, we show that critical points of the corresponding constrained energy functional are naturally associated with standing waves of the evolution problem
We investigate uniqueness of solution to the heat equation with a density $\rho$ on complete, non-compact weighted Riemannian manifolds of infinite volume. Our main goal is to identify sufficient conditions under which the solution $u$ vanishes identically, assuming that $u$ belongs to a certain weighted Lebesgue space with exponential or polynomial weight, $L^p_{\phi}$. We distinguish between the cases $p \gt 1$ and $p = 1$ which required stronger assumptions on the manifold and the density function $\rho$. We develop a unified method based on a conformal transformation of the metric, which allows us to reduce the problem to a standard heat equation on a suitably weighted manifold. In addition, we construct explicit counterexamples on model manifolds which demonstrate optimality of our assumptions on the density $\rho$.
