In a scale of Fock spaces with radial weights ϕ we study the existence of Riesz bases of (normalized) reproducing kernels. We prove that these spaces possess such bases if and only if ϕ(x) grows at most like (log x)2.

The purpose of this note is to show that the Betti realization of motives is compatible with Grothendieck's six operations and the nearby cycles functors, which in the motivic world, were previously studied by the author. We first review the construction of the Betti realization. Then, we establish some general criteria which, applied to the Betti realization, give the compatibilities we seek except for the one concerning the nearby cycles functors. The latter will be treated in a separate section.

Viro method plays an important role in the study of topology of real algebraic hypersurfaces. The T-primitive hypersurfaces we study here appear as the result of Viro's combinatorial patchworking when one starts with a primitive triangulation. We show that the Euler characteristic of the real part of such a hypersurface of even dimension is equal to the signature of its complex part. We explain how this can be understood in tropical geometry. We use this result to prove the existence of maximal surfaces in some three-dimensional toric varieties, namely those corresponding to Nakajima polytopes.

For a split semisimple Chevalley group scheme G with Lie algebra over an arbitrary base scheme S, we consider the quotient of by the adjoint action of G. We study in detail the structure of over S. Given a maximal torus T with Lie algebra and associated Weyl group W, we show that the Chevalley morphism π : /W → /G is an isomorphism except for the group Sp2n over a base with 2-torsion. In this case this morphism is only dominant and we compute it explicitly. We compute the adjoint quotient in some other classical cases, yielding examples where the formation of the quotient → /G commutes, or does not commute, with base change on S.

This paper gives a complete description of the spherical unitary dual of split classical real and p-adic groups. The proof makes heavy use of the affine graded Hecke algebra.

It is proved that solutions of the complex Monge–Ampère equation on compact Kähler manifolds with right hand side in Lp, p > 1, are uniformly Hölder continuous under the assumption on non-negative orthogonal bisectional curvature.

We prove that n-hypergraphs can be interpreted in e-free perfect PAC fields in particular in pseudofinite fields. We use methods of function field arithmetic, more precisely we construct generic polynomials with alternating groups as Galois groups over a function field.

We introduce certain energy functionals to complex Monge–Ampère equations over bounded domains with inhomogeneous boundary conditions, and use these functionals to show the convergence of solutions to certain parabolic Monge–Ampère equations.

We investigate the special fibres of Siegel modular varieties with Iwahori level structure. On these spaces, we have the Newton stratification, and the Kottwitz–Rapoport (KR) stratification; one would like to understand how these stratifications are related to each other. We give a simple description of all KR strata which are entirely contained in the supersingular locus as disjoint unions of Deligne–Lusztig varieties. We also give an explicit numerical description of the KR stratification in terms of abelian varieties.

We prove that if f is a C1-generic symplectic diffeomorphism then the Oseledets splitting along almost every orbit is either trivial or partially hyperbolic. In addition, if f is not Anosov then all the exponents in the centre bundle vanish. This establishes in full a result announced by Mañé at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1983. The main technical novelty is a probabilistic method for the construction of perturbations, using random walks.

A theorem of Kuyk says that every Abelian extension of a Hilbertian field is Hilbertian. We conjecture that for an Abelian variety A defined over a Hilbertian field K every extension L of K in K(Ator) is Hilbertian. We prove our conjecture when K is a number field. The proof applies a result of Serre about l-torsion of Abelian varieties, information about l-adic analytic groups, and Haran's diamond theorem.

Let k be an algebraically closed field and O = k[[t]] ⊂ F = k((t)). For an almost simple algebraic group G we classify central extensions 1 → m → E → G(F) → 1; any such extension splits canonically over G(O). Fix a positive integer N and a primitive character ζ : μN(K) → (under some assumption on the characteristic of k). Consider the category of G(O)-bi-invariant perverse sheaves on E with m-monodromy ζ. We show that this is a tensor category, which is tensor equivalent to the category of representations of a reductive group ǦE,N. We compute the root datum of ǦE,N.

We show that for any type III1 free Araki–Woods factor = (HR, Ut)″ associated with an orthogonal representation (Ut) of R on a separable real Hilbert space HR, the continuous core M = ⋊σR is a semisolid II∞ factor, i.e. for any non-zero finite projection q ∈ M, the II1 factor qM q is semisolid. If the representation (Ut) is moreover assumed to be mixing, then we prove that the core M is solid. As an application, we construct an example of a non-amenable solid II1 factor N with full fundamental group, i.e. (N) = R*+, which is not isomorphic to any interpolated free group factor L(Ft), for 1 < t ≤ = +∞.

We study the slice filtration for the K-theory of a sheaf of Azumaya algebras A, and for the motive of a Severi-Brauer variety, the latter in the case of a central simple algebra of prime degree over a field. Using the Beilinson–Lichtenbaum conjecture, we apply our results to show the vanishing of SK2(A) for a central simple algebra A of square-free index (prime to the characteristic). This proves a conjecture of Merkurjev.

The notion of a prolongation of an algebraic variety is developed in an abstract setting that generalizes the difference and (Hasse) differential contexts. An interpolating map that compares these prolongation spaces with algebraic jet spaces is introduced and studied.

We break the convexity bound in the t-aspect for L-functions attached to cusp forms f for GL2(k) over arbitrary number fields k. The argument uses asymptotics with error term with a power saving, for second integral moments over spectral families of twists L(s,f⊗χ) by Grossencharacters χ, from our previous paper on integral moments.

We study behaviours of the ‘equianharmonic’ parameter of the Grothendieck–Teichmüller group introduced by Lochak and Schneps. Using geometric construction of a certain one-parameter family of quartics, we realize the Galois action on the fundamental group of a punctured Mordell elliptic curve in the standard Galois action on a specific subgroup of the braid group . A consequence is to represent a matrix specialization of the ‘equianharmonic’ parameter in terms of special values of the adelic beta function introduced and studied by Anderson and Ihara.

We study naturality properties of the transverse invariant in knot Floer homology under contact (+1)-surgery. This can be used as a calculational tool for the transverse invariant. As a consequence, we show that the Eliashberg–Chekanov twist knots En are not transversely simple for n odd and n > 3.

We study the birational geometry of irreducible holomorphic symplectic varieties arising as varieties of lines of general cubic fourfolds containing a cubic scroll. We compute the ample and moving cones, and exhibit a birational automorphism of infinite order explaining the chamber decomposition of the moving cone.

We exhibit central simple algebras over the function field of a diagonal quartic surface over the complex numbers that represent the 2-torsion part of its Brauer group. We investigate whether the 2-primary part of the Brauer group of a diagonal quartic surface over a number field is algebraic and give sufficient conditions for this to be the case. In the last section we give an obstruction to weak approximation due to a transcendental class on a specific diagonal quartic surface, an obstruction which cannot be explained by the algebraic Brauer group which in this case is just the constant algebras.
