We explore when the silting-discreteness is inherited. As a result, one obtains that taking idempotent truncations and homological epimorphisms of algebras transmit the silting-discreteness. We also study classification of silting-discrete simply-connected tensor algebras and silting-indiscrete self-injective Nakayama algebras. This paper contains two appendices; one states that every derived-discrete algebra is silting-discrete, and the other is about triangulated categories whose silting objects are tilting.

We invoke the Bernstein–Gel$'$fand–Gel$'$fand (BGG) correspondence to study subcomplexes of free resolutions given by two well-known complexes, the Koszul and the Eagon–Northcott. This approach provides a complete characterization of the ranks of free modules in a subcomplex in the Koszul case and imposes numerical restrictions in the Eagon–Northcott case.

In the derived category of a commutative noetherian ring, we explicitly construct a silting object associated with each sp-filtration of the Zariski spectrum satisfying the “slice” condition. Our new construction is based on local cohomology and it allows us to study when the silting object is tilting. For a ring admitting a dualizing complex, this occurs precisely when the sp-filtration arises from a codimension function on the spectrum. In the absence of a dualizing complex, the situation is more delicate and the tilting property is closely related to the condition that the ring is a homomorphic image of a Cohen–Macaulay ring. We also provide dual versions of our results in the cosilting case.

In this paper, we prove the nonvanishing and some special cases of the abundance for log canonical threefold pairs over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic $p> 3$. More precisely, we prove that if $(X,B)$ be a projective log canonical threefold pair over k and $K_{X}+B$ is pseudo-effective, then $\kappa (K_{X}+B)\geq 0$, and if $K_{X}+B$ is nef and $\kappa (K_{X}+B)\geq 1$, then $K_{X}+B$ is semi-ample.

As applications, we show that the log canonical rings of projective log canonical threefold pairs over k are finitely generated and the abundance holds when the nef dimension $n(K_{X}+B)\leq 2$ or when the Albanese map $a_{X}:X\to \mathrm {Alb}(X)$ is nontrivial. Moreover, we prove that the abundance for klt threefold pairs over k implies the abundance for log canonical threefold pairs over k.

We give an explicit formula to count the number of geometric branches of a curve in positive characteristic using the theory of tight closure. This formula readily shows that the property of having a single geometric branch characterizes F-nilpotent curves. Further, we show that a reduced, local F-nilpotent ring has a single geometric branch; in particular, it is a domain. Finally, we study inequalities of Frobenius test exponents along purely inseparable ring extensions with applications to F-nilpotent affine semigroup rings.

We show that perfectoidization can be (almost) calculated by using p-root closure in certain cases, including the semiperfectoid case. To do this, we focus on the universality of perfectoidizations and uniform completions, as well as the p-root closed property of integral perfectoid rings. Through this calculation, we establish a connection between a classical closure operation “p-root closure” used by Roberts in mixed characteristic commutative algebra and a more recent concept of “perfectoidization” introduced by Bhatt and Scholze in their theory of prismatic cohomology.

In the previous paper, we defined a new category which categorifies the Hecke algebra. This is a generalization of the theory of Soergel bimodules. To prove theorems, the existences of certain homomorphisms between Bott–Samelson bimodules are assumed. In this paper, we prove this assumption. We only assume the vanishing of certain two-colored quantum binomial coefficients.

Let $\Sigma $ be a nonempty subset of the set of prime numbers which is either equal to the entire set of prime numbers or of cardinality one. In the present paper, we continue our study of the pro-$\Sigma $ fundamental groups of hyperbolic curves and their associated configuration spaces over algebraically closed fields in which the primes of $\Sigma $ are invertible. The present paper focuses on the topic of comparison between the theory developed in earlier papers concerning pro-$\Sigma $ fundamental groups and various discrete versions of this theory. We begin by developing a theory concerning certain combinatorial analogues of the section conjecture and Grothendieck conjecture. This portion of the theory is purely combinatorial and essentially follows from a result concerning the existence of fixed points of actions of finite groups on finite graphs (satisfying certain conditions). We then examine various applications of this purely combinatorial theory to scheme theory. Next, we verify various results in the theory of discrete fundamental groups of hyperbolic topological surfaces to the effect that various properties of (discrete) subgroups of such groups hold if and only if analogous properties hold for the closures of these subgroups in the profinite completions of the discrete fundamental groups under consideration. These results make possible a fairly straightforward translation, into discrete versions, of pro-$\Sigma $ results obtained in previous papers by the authors. Finally, we discuss a construction that was considered previously by M. Boggi in the discrete case from the point of view of the present paper.

We extend the notion of y-variables (coefficients) in cluster algebras to cluster scattering diagrams (CSDs). Accordingly, we extend the dilogarithm identity associated with a period in a cluster pattern to the one associated with a loop in a CSD. We show that these identities are constructed from and reduced to trivial ones by applying the pentagon identity possibly infinitely many times.

We investigate sections of the arithmetic fundamental group $\pi _1(X)$ where X is either a smooth affinoid p-adic curve, or a formal germ of a p-adic curve, and prove that they can be lifted (unconditionally) to sections of cuspidally abelian Galois groups. As a consequence, if X admits a compactification Y, and the exact sequence of $\pi _1(X)$ splits, then $\text {index} (Y)=1$. We also exhibit a necessary and sufficient condition for a section of $\pi _1(X)$ to arise from a rational point of Y. One of the key ingredients in our investigation is the fact, we prove in this paper in case X is affinoid, that the Picard group of X is finite.

A quiver representation assigns a vector space to each vertex, and a linear map to each arrow of a quiver. When one considers the category $\mathrm {Vect}(\mathbb {F}_1)$ of vector spaces “over $\mathbb {F}_1$” (the field with one element), one obtains $\mathbb {F}_1$-representations of a quiver. In this paper, we study representations of a quiver over the field with one element in connection to coefficient quivers. To be precise, we prove that the category $\mathrm {Rep}(Q,\mathbb {F}_1)$ is equivalent to the (suitably defined) category of coefficient quivers over Q. This provides a conceptual way to see Euler characteristics of a class of quiver Grassmannians as the number of “$\mathbb {F}_1$-rational points” of quiver Grassmannians. We generalize techniques originally developed for string and band modules to compute the Euler characteristics of quiver Grassmannians associated with $\mathbb {F}_1$-representations. These techniques apply to a large class of $\mathbb {F}_1$-representations, which we call the $\mathbb {F}_1$-representations with finite nice length: we prove sufficient conditions for an $\mathbb {F}_1$-representation to have finite nice length, and classify such representations for certain families of quivers. Finally, we explore the Hall algebras associated with $\mathbb {F}_1$-representations of quivers. We answer the question of how a change in orientation affects the Hall algebra of nilpotent $\mathbb {F}_1$-representations of a quiver with bounded representation type. We also discuss Hall algebras associated with representations with finite nice length, and compute them for certain families of quivers.

Let $f_0$ and $f_1$ be two homogeneous polynomials of degree d in three complex variables $z_1,z_2,z_3$. We show that the Lê–Yomdin surface singularities defined by $g_0:=f_0+z_i^{d+m}$ and $g_1:=f_1+z_i^{d+m}$ have the same abstract topology, the same monodromy zeta-function, the same $\mu ^*$-invariant, but lie in distinct path-connected components of the $\mu ^*$-constant stratum if their projective tangent cones (defined by $f_0$ and $f_1$, respectively) make a Zariski pair of curves in $\mathbb {P}^2$, the singularities of which are Newton non-degenerate. In this case, we say that $V(g_0):=g_0^{-1}(0)$ and $V(g_1):=g_1^{-1}(0)$ make a $\mu ^*$-Zariski pair of surface singularities. Being such a pair is a necessary condition for the germs $V(g_0)$ and $V(g_1)$ to have distinct embedded topologies.

For homogeneous polynomials $G_1,\ldots ,G_k$ over a finite field, their Dwork complex is defined by Adolphson and Sperber, based on Dwork’s theory. In this article, we will construct an explicit cochain map from the Dwork complex of $G_1,\ldots ,G_k$ to the Monsky–Washnitzer complex associated with some affine bundle over the complement $\mathbb {P}^n\setminus X_G$ of the common zero $X_G$ of $G_1,\ldots ,G_k$, which computes the rigid cohomology of $\mathbb {P}^n\setminus X_G$. We verify that this cochain map realizes the rigid cohomology of $\mathbb {P}^n\setminus X_G$ as a direct summand of the Dwork cohomology of $G_1,\ldots ,G_k$. We also verify that the comparison map is compatible with the Frobenius and the Dwork operator defined on both complexes, respectively. Consequently, we extend Katz’s comparison results in [19] for projective hypersurface complements to arbitrary projective complements.

There are several ways to convert a closure or interior operation to a different operation that has particular desirable properties. In this paper, we axiomatize three ways to do so, drawing on disparate examples from the literature, including tight closure, basically full closure, and various versions of integral closure. In doing so, we explore several such desirable properties, including hereditary, residual, and cofunctorial, and see how they interact with other properties such as the finitistic property.

The problem of classifying elliptic curves over $\mathbb Q$ with a given discriminant has received much attention. The analogous problem for genus $2$ curves has only been tackled when the absolute discriminant is a power of $2$. In this article, we classify genus $2$ curves C defined over ${\mathbb Q}$ with at least two rational Weierstrass points and whose absolute discriminant is an odd prime. In fact, we show that such a curve C must be isomorphic to a specialization of one of finitely many $1$-parameter families of genus $2$ curves. In particular, we provide genus $2$ analogues to Neumann–Setzer families of elliptic curves over the rationals.
