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.

For a reductive group $G$ over a finite field, we show that the neutral block of its mixed Hecke category with a fixed monodromy under the torus action is monoidally equivalent to the mixed Hecke category of the corresponding endoscopic group $H$ with trivial monodromy. We also extend this equivalence to all blocks. We give two applications. One is a relationship between character sheaves on $G$ with a fixed semisimple parameter and unipotent character sheaves on the endoscopic group $H$, after passing to asymptotic versions. The other is a similar relationship between representations of $G(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ with a fixed semisimple parameter and unipotent representations of $H(\mathbb{F}_{q})$.

We give a list of statements on the geometry of elliptic threefolds phrased only in the language of topology and homological algebra. Using only notions from topology and homological algebra, we recover existing results and prove new results on torsion pairs in the category of coherent sheaves on an elliptic threefold.

Given a perfect valuation ring $R$ of characteristic $p$ that is complete with respect to a rank-1 nondiscrete valuation, we show that the ring $\mathbb{A}_{\inf }$ of Witt vectors of $R$ has infinite Krull dimension.

We compute the Hodge ideals of $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors in terms of the $V$-filtration induced by a local defining equation, inspired by a result of Saito in the reduced case. We deduce basic properties of Hodge ideals in this generality, and relate them to Bernstein–Sato polynomials. As a consequence of our study we establish general properties of the minimal exponent, a refined version of the log canonical threshold, and bound it in terms of discrepancies on log resolutions, addressing a question of Lichtin and Kollár.

We give a geometric interpretation of sheaf cohomology for higher degrees $n\geq 1$ in terms of torsors on the member of degree $d=n-1$ in hypercoverings of type $r=n-2$, endowed with an additional datum, the so-called rigidification. This generalizes the fact that cohomology in degree one is the group of isomorphism classes of torsors, where the rigidification becomes vacuous, and that cohomology in degree two can be expressed in terms of bundle gerbes, where the rigidification becomes an associativity constraint.

We construct a scheme $B(r; {\mathbb {A}}^n)$ such that a map $X \to B(r; {\mathbb {A}}^n)$ corresponds to a degree-n étale algebra on X equipped with r generating global sections. We then show that when $n=2$, i.e., in the quadratic étale case, the singular cohomology of $B(r; {\mathbb {A}}^n)({\mathbb {R}})$ can be used to reconstruct a famous example of S. Chase and to extend its application to showing that there is a smooth affine $r-1$-dimensional ${\mathbb {R}}$-variety on which there are étale algebras ${\mathcal {A}}_n$ of arbitrary degrees n that cannot be generated by fewer than r elements. This shows that in the étale algebra case, a bound established by U. First and Z. Reichstein in [6] is sharp.

Following the work of Mustaţă and Bitoun, we recently developed a notion of Bernstein–Sato roots for arbitrary ideals, which is a prime characteristic analogue for the roots of the Bernstein–Sato polynomial. Here, we prove that for monomial ideals the roots of the Bernstein–Sato polynomial (over $\mathbb{C}$ ) agree with the Bernstein–Sato roots of the mod $p$ reductions of the ideal for $p$ large enough. We regard this as evidence that the characteristic- $p$ notion of Bernstein–Sato root is reasonable.

We investigate the assumptions under which a subclass of flat quasicoherent sheaves on a quasicompact and semiseparated scheme allows us to ‘mock’ the homotopy category of projective modules. Our methods are based on module-theoretic properties of the subclass of flat modules involved as well as their behaviour with respect to Zariski localizations. As a consequence we get that, for such schemes, the derived category of flat quasicoherent sheaves is equivalent to the derived category of very flat quasicoherent sheaves. If, in addition, the scheme satisfies the resolution property then both derived categories are equivalent to the derived category of infinite-dimensional vector bundles. The equivalences are inferred from a Quillen equivalence between the corresponding models.

We define a notion of mixed Hodge structure with modulus that generalizes the classical notion of mixed Hodge structure introduced by Deligne and the level one Hodge structures with additive parts introduced by Kato and Russell in their description of Albanese varieties with modulus. With modulus triples of any dimension, we attach mixed Hodge structures with modulus. We combine this construction with an equivalence between the category of level one mixed Hodge structures with modulus and the category of Laumon 1-motives to generalize Kato–Russell’s Albanese varieties with modulus to 1-motives.

We prove the integral Hodge conjecture for all 3-folds $X$ of Kodaira dimension zero with $H^{0}(X,K_{X})$ not zero. This generalizes earlier results of Voisin and Grabowski. The assumption is sharp, in view of counterexamples by Benoist and Ottem. We also prove similar results on the integral Tate conjecture. For example, the integral Tate conjecture holds for abelian 3-folds in any characteristic.

We prove that the category of (rigidified) Breuil–Kisin–Fargues modules up to isogeny is Tannakian. We then introduce and classify Breuil–Kisin–Fargues modules with complex multiplication mimicking the classical theory for rational Hodge structures. In particular, we compute an avatar of a ‘$p$-adic Serre group’.

We study the derived category of a complete intersection $X$ of bilinear divisors in the orbifold $\operatorname{Sym}^{2}\mathbb{P}(V)$. Our results are in the spirit of Kuznetsov’s theory of homological projective duality, and we describe a homological projective duality relation between $\operatorname{Sym}^{2}\mathbb{P}(V)$ and a category of modules over a sheaf of Clifford algebras on $\mathbb{P}(\operatorname{Sym}^{2}V^{\vee })$. The proof follows a recently developed strategy combining variation of geometric invariant theory (VGIT) stability and categories of global matrix factorisations. We begin by translating $D^{b}(X)$ into a derived category of factorisations on a Landau–Ginzburg (LG) model, and then apply VGIT to obtain a birational LG model. Finally, we interpret the derived factorisation category of the new LG model as a Clifford module category. In some cases we can compute this Clifford module category as the derived category of a variety. As a corollary we get a new proof of a result of Hosono and Takagi, which says that a certain pair of non-birational Calabi–Yau 3-folds have equivalent derived categories.

We prove a rigid analytic analogue of the Artin–Grothendieck vanishing theorem. Precisely, we prove (under mild hypotheses) that the geometric étale cohomology of any Zariski-constructible sheaf on any affinoid rigid space $X$ vanishes in all degrees above the dimension of $X$. Along the way, we show that branched covers of normal rigid spaces can often be extended across closed analytic subsets, in analogy with a classical result for complex analytic spaces. We also prove some new comparison theorems relating the étale cohomology of schemes and rigid analytic varieties, and give some applications of them. In particular, we prove a structure theorem for Zariski-constructible sheaves on characteristic-zero affinoid spaces.

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.

This paper stems from the observation (arising from work of Delzant) that “most” Kähler groups $G$ virtually algebraically fiber, that is, admit a finite index subgroup that maps onto $\mathbb{Z}$ with finitely generated kernel. For the remaining ones, the Albanese dimension of all finite index subgroups is at most one, that is, they have virtual Albanese dimension $va(G)\leqslant 1$. We show that the existence of algebraic fibrations has implications in the study of coherence and higher BNSR invariants of the fundamental group of aspherical Kähler surfaces. The class of Kähler groups with $va(G)=1$ includes virtual surface groups. Further examples exist; nonetheless, they exhibit a strong relation with surface groups. In fact, we show that the Green–Lazarsfeld sets of groups with $va(G)=1$ (virtually) coincide with those of surface groups, and furthermore that the only virtually RFRS groups with $va(G)=1$ are virtually surface groups.

We consider the space $X=\bigwedge ^{3}\mathbb{C}^{6}$ of alternating senary 3-tensors, equipped with the natural action of the group $\operatorname{GL}_{6}$ of invertible linear transformations of $\mathbb{C}^{6}$. We describe explicitly the category of $\operatorname{GL}_{6}$-equivariant coherent ${\mathcal{D}}_{X}$-modules as the category of representations of a quiver with relations, which has finite representation type. We give a construction of the six simple equivariant ${\mathcal{D}}_{X}$-modules and give formulas for the characters of their underlying $\operatorname{GL}_{6}$-structures. We describe the (iterated) local cohomology groups with supports given by orbit closures, determining, in particular, the Lyubeznik numbers associated to the orbit closures.

Moduli spaces of stable objects in the derived category of a $K3$ surface provide a large class of holomorphic symplectic varieties. In this paper, we study the interplay between Chern classes of stable objects and zero-cycles on holomorphic symplectic varieties which arise as moduli spaces. First, we show that the second Chern class of any object in the derived category lies in a suitable piece of O’Grady’s filtration on the $\text{CH}_{0}$-group of the $K3$ surface. This solves a conjecture of O’Grady and improves on previous results of Huybrechts, O’Grady, and Voisin. Second, we propose a candidate for the Beauville–Voisin filtration on the $\text{CH}_{0}$-group of the moduli space of stable objects. We discuss its connection with Voisin’s recent proposal via constant cycle subvarieties, and prove a conjecture of hers on the existence of special algebraically coisotropic subvarieties for the moduli space.

The germ of the universal isomonodromic deformation of a logarithmic connection on a stable $n$-pointed genus $g$ curve always exists in the analytic category. The first part of this article investigates under which conditions it is the analytic germification of an algebraic isomonodromic deformation. Up to some minor technical conditions, this turns out to be the case if and only if the monodromy of the connection has finite orbit under the action of the mapping class group. The second part of this work studies the dynamics of this action in the particular case of reducible rank 2 representations and genus $g>0$, allowing to classify all finite orbits. Both of these results extend recent ones concerning the genus 0 case.

We introduce and study various categories of (equivariant) motives of (versal) flag varieties. We relate these categories with certain categories of parabolic (Demazure) modules. We show that the motivic decomposition type of a versal flag variety depends on the direct sum decomposition type of the parabolic module. To do this we use localization techniques of Kostant and Kumar in the context of generalized oriented cohomology as well as the Rost nilpotence principle for algebraic cobordism and its generic version. As an application, we obtain new proofs and examples of indecomposable Chow motives of versal flag varieties.
