Building on Seidel and Solomon’s fundamental work [Symplectic cohomology and$q$-intersection numbers, Geom. Funct. Anal. 22 (2012), 443–477], we define the notion of a $\mathfrak{g}$-equivariant Lagrangian brane in an exact symplectic manifold $M$, where $\mathfrak{g}\subset SH^{1}(M)$ is a sub-Lie algebra of the symplectic cohomology of $M$. When $M$ is a (symplectic) mirror to an (algebraic) homogeneous space $G/P$, homological mirror symmetry predicts that there is an embedding of $\mathfrak{g}$ in $SH^{1}(M)$. This allows us to study a mirror theory to classical constructions of Borel, Weil and Bott. We give explicit computations recovering all finite-dimensional irreducible representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_{2}$ as representations on the Floer cohomology of an $\mathfrak{sl}_{2}$-equivariant Lagrangian brane and discuss generalizations to arbitrary finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebras.

We show that the torsion in the group of indecomposable $(2,1)$-cycles on a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field is isomorphic to a twist of its Brauer group, away from the characteristic. In particular, this group is infinite as soon as $b_{2}-{\it\rho}>0$. We derive a new insight into Roǐtman’s theorem on torsion $0$-cycles over a surface.

We classify the horizontal $\text{SL}(2)$s and $\mathbb{R}$-split polarized mixed Hodge structures on a Mumford–Tate domain.

We construct regular integral canonical models for Shimura varieties attached to Spin and orthogonal groups at (possibly ramified) primes $p>2$ where the level is not divisible by $p$. We exhibit these models as schemes of ‘relative PEL type’ over integral canonical models of larger Spin Shimura varieties with good reduction at $p$. Work of Vasiu–Zink then shows that the classical Kuga–Satake construction extends over the integral models and that the integral models we construct are canonical in a very precise sense. Our results have applications to the Tate conjecture for K3 surfaces, as well as to Kudla’s program of relating intersection numbers of special cycles on orthogonal Shimura varieties to Fourier coefficients of modular forms.

We generalize Siegel’s theorem on integral points on affine curves to integral points of bounded degree, giving a complete characterization of affine curves with infinitely many integral points of degree $d$ or less over some number field. Generalizing Picard’s theorem, we prove an analogous result characterizing complex affine curves admitting a nonconstant holomorphic map from a degree $d$ (or less) analytic cover of $\mathbb{C}$.

The notion of Berman–Gibbs stability was originally introduced by Berman for $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano varieties $X$. We show that the pair $(X,-K_{X})$ is K-stable (respectively K-semistable) provided that $X$ is Berman–Gibbs stable (respectively semistable).

We confirm a conjecture of Marklof regarding the limiting distribution of certain sparse collections of points on expanding horospheres. These collections are obtained by intersecting the expanded horosphere with a certain manifold of complementary dimension and turns out to be of arithmetic nature. This result is then used along the lines suggested by Marklof to give an analogue of a result of Schmidt regarding the distribution of shapes of lattices orthogonal to integer vectors.

We prove a subconvexity bound for the central value $L(\frac{1}{2},{\it\chi})$ of a Dirichlet $L$-function of a character ${\it\chi}$ to a prime power modulus $q=p^{n}$ of the form $L(\frac{1}{2},{\it\chi})\ll p^{r}q^{{\it\theta}+{\it\epsilon}}$ with a fixed $r$ and ${\it\theta}\approx 0.1645<\frac{1}{6}$, breaking the long-standing Weyl exponent barrier. In fact, we develop a general new theory of estimation of short exponential sums involving $p$-adically analytic phases, which can be naturally seen as a $p$-adic analogue of the method of exponent pairs. This new method is presented in a ready-to-use form and applies to a wide class of well-behaved phases including many that arise from a stationary phase analysis of hyper-Kloosterman and other complete exponential sums.

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 $(S_{i})$.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring, let $F$ be a locally compact non-archimedean field of finite residual field $k$ of characteristic $p$, and let $\mathbf{G}$ be a connected reductive $F$-group. We show that the pro-$p$-Iwahori Hecke $R$-algebra of $G=\mathbf{G}(F)$ admits a presentation similar to the Iwahori–Matsumoto presentation of the Iwahori Hecke algebra of a Chevalley group, and alcove walk bases satisfying Bernstein relations. This was previously known only for a $F$-split group $\mathbf{G}$.

We show that there are no non-trivial stratified bundles over a smooth simply connected quasi-projective variety over an algebraic closure of a finite field if the variety admits a normal projective compactification with boundary locus of codimension greater than or equal to $2$.

Let ${\rm\Gamma}$ be a finite subgroup of $\text{Sp}(V)$. In this article we count the number of symplectic resolutions admitted by the quotient singularity $V/{\rm\Gamma}$. Our approach is to compare the universal Poisson deformation of the symplectic quotient singularity with the deformation given by the Calogero–Moser space. In this way, we give a simple formula for the number of $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial terminalizations admitted by the symplectic quotient singularity in terms of the dimension of a certain Orlik–Solomon algebra naturally associated to the Calogero–Moser deformation. This dimension is explicitly calculated for all groups ${\rm\Gamma}$ for which it is known that $V/{\rm\Gamma}$ admits a symplectic resolution. As a consequence of our results, we confirm a conjecture of Ginzburg and Kaledin.

We apply results from both contact topology and exceptional surgery theory to study when Legendrian surgery on a knot yields a reducible manifold. As an application, we show that a reducible surgery on a non-cabled positive knot of genus $g$ must have slope $2g-1$, leading to a proof of the cabling conjecture for positive knots of genus 2. Our techniques also produce bounds on the maximum Thurston–Bennequin numbers of cables.

We define a theory of étale motives over a noetherian scheme. This provides a system of categories of complexes of motivic sheaves with integral coefficients which is closed under the six operations of Grothendieck. The rational part of these categories coincides with the triangulated categories of Beilinson motives (and is thus strongly related to algebraic $K$-theory). We extend the rigidity theorem of Suslin and Voevodsky over a general base scheme. This can be reformulated by saying that torsion étale motives essentially coincide with the usual complexes of torsion étale sheaves (at least if we restrict ourselves to torsion prime to the residue characteristics). As a consequence, we obtain the expected results of absolute purity, of finiteness, and of Grothendieck duality for étale motives with integral coefficients, by putting together their counterparts for Beilinson motives and for torsion étale sheaves. Following Thomason’s insights, this also provides a conceptual and convenient construction of the $\ell$-adic realization of motives, as the homotopy $\ell$-completion functor.
