In this paper we study certain sheaves of $p$-adically complete rings of differential operators on semistable models of the projective line over the ring of integers in a finite extension $L$ of $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$. The global sections of these sheaves can be identified with (central reductions of) analytic distribution algebras of wide open congruence subgroups. It is shown that the global sections functor furnishes an equivalence between the categories of coherent module sheaves and finitely presented modules over the distribution algebras. Using the work of M. Emerton, we then describe admissible representations of $\text{GL}_{2}(L)$ in terms of sheaves on the projective limit of these formal schemes. As an application, we show that representations coming from certain equivariant line bundles on Drinfeld’s first étale covering of the $p$-adic upper half plane are admissible.
We study actions of Lie supergroups, in particular, the hitherto elusive notion of orbits through odd (or more general) points. Following categorical principles, we derive a conceptual framework for their treatment and therein prove general existence theorems for the isotropy (or stabiliser) supergroups and orbits through general points. In this setting, we show that the coadjoint orbits always admit a (relative) supersymplectic structure of Kirillov–Kostant–Souriau type. Applying a family version of Kirillov’s orbit method, we decompose the regular representation of an odd Abelian supergroup into an odd direct integral of characters and construct universal families of representations, parametrised by a supermanifold, for two different super variants of the Heisenberg group.
Let $(S,\mathfrak{m})$ be an $n$-dimensional regular local ring essentially of finite type over a field and let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of $S$. We prove that if $\text{depth}\,S/\mathfrak{a}\geqslant 3$, then the cohomological dimension $\text{cd}(S,\mathfrak{a})$ of $\mathfrak{a}$ is less than or equal to $n-3$. This settles a conjecture of Varbaro for such an $S$. We also show, under the assumption that $S$ has an algebraically closed residue field of characteristic zero, that if $\text{depth}\,S/\mathfrak{a}\geqslant 4$, then $\text{cd}(S,\mathfrak{a})\leqslant n-4$ if and only if the local Picard group of the completion $\widehat{S/\mathfrak{a}}$ is torsion. We give a number of applications, including a vanishing result on Lyubeznik’s numbers, and sharp bounds on the cohomological dimension of ideals whose quotients satisfy good depth conditions such as Serre’s conditions $(S_{i})$.
We introduce a dual logarithmic residue map for hypersurface singularities and use it to answer a question of Kyoji Saito. Our result extends a theorem of Lê and Saito by an algebraic characterization of hypersurfaces that are normal crossing in codimension one. For free divisors, we relate the latter condition to other natural conditions involving the Jacobian ideal and the normalization. This leads to an algebraic characterization of normal crossing divisors. As a side result, we describe all free divisors with Gorenstein singular locus.
We give a survey on the Stokes structure of a good meromorphic flat bundle. We also show that a meromorphic flat bundle has the good formal structure if and only if it has a good lattice.
We have defined and studied some pseudogroups of local diffeomorphisms which generalise the complex analytic pseudogroups. A 4-dimensional (or 8-dimensional) manifold modelled on these ‘Further pseudogroups’ turns out to be a quaternionic (respectively octonionic) manifold.
We characterise compact Further manifolds as being products of compact Riemann surfaces with appropriate dimensional spheres. It then transpires that a connected compact quaternionic (H) (respectively O) manifold X, minus a finite number of circles (its ‘real set’), is the orientation double covering of the product Y × P2, (respectively Y×P6), where Y is a connected surface equipped with a canonical conformal structure and Pn is n-dimensonal real projective space.
A corollary is that the only simply-connected compact manifolds which can allow H (respectively O) structure are S4 and S2 × S2 (respectively S8 and S2×S6).
Previous authors, for example Marchiafava and Salamon, have studied very closely-related classes of manifolds by differential geometric methods. Our techniques in this paper are function theoretic and topological.
