Authors:SPENCER BACKMAN; MATTHEW BAKER, CHI HO YUEN Abstract: Let $M$ be a regular matroid. The Jacobian group $\text{Jac}(M)$ of $M$ is a finite abelian group whose cardinality is equal to the number of bases of $M$ . This group generalizes the definition of the Jacobian group (also known as the critical group or sandpile group) $\operatorname{Jac}(G)$ of a graph $G$ (in which case bases of the corresponding regular matroid are spanning trees of $G$ ). There are many explicit combinatorial bijections in the literature between the Jacobian group of a graph $\text{Jac}(G)$ and spanning trees. However, most of the known bijections use vertices of $G$ in some essential way and are inherently ‘nonmatroidal’. In this paper, we construct a family of explicit and easy-to-describe bijections between the Jacobian group of a regular matroid $M$ and bases of PubDate: 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z DOI: 10.1017/fms.2019.40 Issue No:Vol. 7 (2019)
Authors:ISMAËL BAILLEUL; FRÉDÉRIC BERNICOT Abstract: We develop in this work a general version of paracontrolled calculus that allows to treat analytically within this paradigm a whole class of singular partial differential equations with the same efficiency as regularity structures. This work deals with the analytic side of the story and offers a toolkit for the study of such equations, under the form of a number of continuity results for some operators, while emphasizing the simple and systematic mechanics of computations within paracontrolled calculus, via the introduction of two model operations $\mathsf{E}$ and $\mathsf{F}$ . We illustrate the efficiency of this elementary approach on the example of the generalized parabolic Anderson model equation $$\begin{eqnarray}(\unicode[STIX]{x2202}_{t}+L)u=f(u)\unicode[STIX]{x1D701},\end{eqnarray}$$ on a 3-dimensional closed manifold, and the generalized KPZ equation $$\begin{eqnarray}(\unicode[STIX]{x2202}_{t}+L)u=f(u)\unicode[STIX]{x1D701}+g(u)(\unicode[STIX]{x2202}u)^{2},\end{eqnarray}$$ driven by a $(1+1)$ -dimensional space/time white noise.

Authors:RENJIN JIANG; KANGWEI LI, JIE XIAO Abstract: We show that, if $b\in L^{1}(0,T;L_{\operatorname{loc}}^{1}(\mathbb{R}))$ has a spatial derivative in the John–Nirenberg space $\operatorname{BMO}(\mathbb{R})$ , then it generates a unique flow $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}(t,\cdot )$ which has an $A_{\infty }(\mathbb{R})$ density for each time $t\in [0,T]$ . Our condition on the map $b$ is not only optimal but also produces a sharp quantitative estimate for the density. As a killer application we achieve the well-posedness for a Cauchy problem of the transport equation in $\operatorname{BMO}(\mathbb{R})$ .

If $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}(d^{2})$ , all of the vertices are visited in time $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E9}(n\log n)$ with high probability.

Authors:JÜRGEN HAUSEN; CHRISTOFF HISCHE, MILENA WROBEL Abstract: We systematically produce algebraic varieties with torus action by constructing them as suitably embedded subvarieties of toric varieties. The resulting varieties admit an explicit treatment in terms of toric geometry and graded ring theory. Our approach extends existing constructions of rational varieties with torus action of complexity one and delivers all Mori dream spaces with torus action. We exhibit the example class of ‘general arrangement varieties’ and obtain classification results in the case of complexity two and Picard number at most two, extending former work in complexity one.

Authors:ALEXEY BUFETOV; LEONID PETROV Abstract: Employing bijectivization of summation identities, we introduce local stochastic moves based on the Yang–Baxter equation for $U_{q}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}_{2}})$ . Combining these moves leads to a new object which we call the spin Hall–Littlewood Yang–Baxter field—a probability distribution on two-dimensional arrays of particle configurations on the discrete line. We identify joint distributions along down-right paths in the Yang–Baxter field with spin Hall–Littlewood processes, a generalization of Schur processes. We consider various degenerations of the Yang–Baxter field leading to new dynamic versions of the stochastic six-vertex model and of the Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process.

ALBERTI; MATTEO SANTACESARIA Abstract: We prove that an $L^{\infty }$ potential in the Schrödinger equation in three and higher dimensions can be uniquely determined from a finite number of boundary measurements, provided it belongs to a known finite dimensional subspace ${\mathcal{W}}$ . As a corollary, we obtain a similar result for Calderón’s inverse conductivity problem. Lipschitz stability estimates and a globally convergent nonlinear reconstruction algorithm for both inverse problems are also presented. These are the first results on global uniqueness, stability and reconstruction for nonlinear inverse boundary value problems with finitely many measurements. We also discuss a few relevant examples of finite dimensional subspaces ${\mathcal{W}}$ , including bandlimited and piecewise constant potentials, and explicitly compute the number of required measurements as a function of $\dim {\mathcal{W}}$ .

Authors:JOHANNES SPRANG Abstract: A classical construction of Katz gives a purely algebraic construction of Eisenstein–Kronecker series using the Gauß–Manin connection on the universal elliptic curve. This approach gives a systematic way to study algebraic and $p$ -adic properties of real-analytic Eisenstein series. In the first part of this paper we provide an alternative algebraic construction of Eisenstein–Kronecker series via the Poincaré bundle. Building on this, we give in the second part a new conceptional construction of Katz’ two-variable $p$ -adic Eisenstein measure through $p$ -adic theta functions of the Poincaré bundle.

Authors:TERENCE TAO; JONI TERÄVÄINEN Abstract: We study the existence of various sign and value patterns in sequences defined by multiplicative functions or related objects. For any set $A$ whose indicator function is ‘approximately multiplicative’ and uniformly distributed on short intervals in a suitable sense, we show that the density of the pattern $n+1\in A$ , $n+2\in A$ , $n+3\in A$ is positive as long as $A$ has density greater than $\frac{1}{3}$ . Using an inverse theorem for sumsets and some tools from ergodic theory, we also provide a theorem that deals with the critical case of $A$ having density exactly $\frac{1}{3}$ , below which one would need nontrivial information on the local distribution of $A$ in Bohr sets to proceed. We apply our results first to answer in a stronger form a question of Erdős and Pomerance on the relative orderings of the largest prime factors $P^{+}(n)$ , PubDate: 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z DOI: 10.1017/fms.2019.28 Issue No:Vol. 7 (2019)

Authors:SARA CHECCOLI; FRANCESCO VENEZIANO, EVELINA VIADA Abstract: In this article we prove the explicit Mordell Conjecture for large families of curves. In addition, we introduce a method, of easy application, to compute all rational points on curves of quite general shape and increasing genus. The method bases on some explicit and sharp estimates for the height of such rational points, and the bounds are small enough to successfully implement a computer search. As an evidence of the simplicity of its application, we present a variety of explicit examples and explain how to produce many others. In the appendix our method is compared in detail to the classical method of Manin–Demjanenko and the analysis of our explicit examples is carried to conclusion.

We generalize this fact to arbitrary embeddable schemes: for every subscheme $X$ of a nonsingular variety $V$ , we define an associated subscheme $\mathscr{Y}$ of a projective bundle $\mathscr{V}$ over $V$ and provide an explicit formula for the Chern–Schwartz–MacPherson class of $X$ in terms of the Segre class of $\mathscr{Y}$ in $\mathscr{V}$ . If $X$ is a local complete intersection, a version of the result yields a direct expression for the Milnor class of $X$ .For PubDate: 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z DOI: 10.1017/fms.2019.25 Issue No:Vol. 7 (2019)

Authors:CHRISTIAN JOHANSSON; JAMES NEWTON Abstract: Let $F$ be a totally real field and let $p$ be an odd prime which is totally split in $F$ . We define and study one-dimensional ‘partial’ eigenvarieties interpolating Hilbert modular forms over $F$ with weight varying only at a single place $v$ above $p$ . For these eigenvarieties, we show that methods developed by Liu, Wan and Xiao apply and deduce that, over a boundary annulus in weight space of sufficiently small radius, the partial eigenvarieties decompose as a disjoint union of components which are finite over weight space. We apply this result to prove the parity version of the Bloch–Kato conjecture for finite slope Hilbert modular forms with trivial central character (with a technical assumption if $[F:\mathbb{Q}]$ is odd), by reducing to the case of parallel weight $2$ . As another consequence of our results on partial eigenvarieties, we show, still under the assumption that $p$ is totally split in $F$ , that the ‘full’ (dimension PubDate: 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z DOI: 10.1017/fms.2019.23 Issue No:Vol. 7 (2019)

It is widely conjectured that $M_{n}$ is singular with probability at most $(2+o(1))^{-n}$ . On the other hand, the best known upper bound on the singularity probability of $M_{n}$ , due to Vershynin (2011), is $2^{-n^{c}}$ , for some unspecified small constant $c>0$ . This improves on a polynomial singularity bound due to Costello, Tao, and Vu (2005), and a bound of Nguyen (2011) showing that the singularity probability decays faster than any polynomial.

Authors:DANIEL M. KANE; ROBERT C. RHOADES Abstract: Our main result establishes Andrews’ conjecture for the asymptotic of the generating function for the number of integer partitions of $n$ without $k$ consecutive parts. The methods we develop are applicable in obtaining asymptotics for stochastic processes that avoid patterns; as a result they yield asymptotics for the number of partitions that avoid patterns.Holroyd, Liggett, and Romik, in connection with certain bootstrap percolation models, introduced the study of partitions without $k$ consecutive parts. Andrews showed that when $k=2$ , the generating function for these partitions is a mixed-mock modular form and, thus, has modularity properties which can be utilized in the study of this generating function. For $k>2$ , the asymptotic properties of the generating functions have proved more difficult to obtain. Using $q$ -series identities and the $k=2$ case as evidence, Andrews stated a conjecture for the asymptotic behavior. Extensive computational evidence for the conjecture in the case $k=3$ was given by Zagier.This paper improved upon early approaches to this problem by identifying and overcoming two sources of error. Since the writing of this paper, a more precise asymptotic result was established by Bringmann, Kane, Parry, and Rhoades. That approach uses very different methods.

For a more general elliptic curve $E$ , we show that the number of quadratic twists of $E$ up to twisting discriminant $X$ of analytic rank 0 (respectively 1) is $\gg X/\log ^{5/6}X$ , improving the current best general bound toward Goldfeld’s conjecture due to Ono–Skinner (respectively Perelli–Pomykala).

Authors:LINQUAN MA; THOMAS POLSTRA, KARL SCHWEDE, KEVIN TUCKER Abstract: We study $F$ -signature under proper birational morphisms $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}:Y\rightarrow X$ , showing that $F$ -signature strictly increases for small morphisms or if $K_{Y}\leqslant \unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}^{\ast }K_{X}$ . In certain cases, we can even show that the $F$ -signature of $Y$ is at least twice as that of $X$ . We also provide examples of $F$ -signature dropping and Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity increasing under birational maps without these hypotheses.

Authors:CARLOS AMÉNDOLA; PETER FRIZ, BERND STURMFELS Abstract: The signature of a parametric curve is a sequence of tensors whose entries are iterated integrals. This construction is central to the theory of rough paths in stochastic analysis. It is examined here through the lens of algebraic geometry. We introduce varieties of signature tensors for both deterministic paths and random paths. For the former, we focus on piecewise linear paths, on polynomial paths, and on varieties derived from free nilpotent Lie groups. For the latter, we focus on Brownian motion and its mixtures.

Authors:CHRISTIAN REIHER; MATHIAS SCHACHT Abstract: We study forcing pairs for quasirandom graphs. Chung, Graham, and Wilson initiated the study of families ${\mathcal{F}}$ of graphs with the property that if a large graph $G$ has approximately homomorphism density $p^{e(F)}$ for some fixed $p\in (0,1]$ for every $F\in {\mathcal{F}}$ , then $G$ is quasirandom with density $p$ . Such families ${\mathcal{F}}$ are said to be forcing. Several forcing families were found over the last three decades and characterizing all bipartite graphs $F$ such that $(K_{2},F)$ is a forcing pair is a well-known open problem in the area of quasirandom graphs, which is closely related to Sidorenko’s conjecture. In fact, most of the known forcing families involve bipartite graphs only.We consider forcing pairs containing the triangle PubDate: 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z DOI: 10.1017/fms.2019.7 Issue No:Vol. 7 (2019)
Authors:A. ASOK; J. FASEL, M. J. HOPKINS Abstract: Suppose $X$ is a smooth complex algebraic variety. A necessary condition for a complex topological vector bundle on $X$ (viewed as a complex manifold) to be algebraic is that all Chern classes must be algebraic cohomology classes, that is, lie in the image of the cycle class map. We analyze the question of whether algebraicity of Chern classes is sufficient to guarantee algebraizability of complex topological vector bundles. For affine varieties of dimension ${\leqslant}3$ , it is known that algebraicity of Chern classes of a vector bundle guarantees algebraizability of the vector bundle. In contrast, we show in dimension ${\geqslant}4$ that algebraicity of Chern classes is insufficient to guarantee algebraizability of vector bundles. To do this, we construct a new obstruction to algebraizability using Steenrod operations on Chow groups. By means of an explicit example, we observe that our obstruction is nontrivial in general.

Authors:JIM BRYAN; MARTIJN KOOL Abstract: We compute the Donaldson–Thomas invariants of a local elliptic surface with section. We introduce a new computational technique which is a mixture of motivic and toric methods. This allows us to write the partition function for the invariants in terms of the topological vertex. Utilizing identities for the topological vertex proved in Bryan et al. [‘Trace identities for the topological vertex’, Selecta Math. (N.S.)24 (2) (2018), 1527–1548, arXiv:math/1603.05271], we derive product formulas for the partition functions. The connected version of the partition function is written in terms of Jacobi forms. In the special case where the elliptic surface is a K3 surface, we get a derivation of the Katz–Klemm–Vafa formula for primitive curve classes which is independent of the computation of Kawai–Yoshioka.

Authors:STEVEN V SAM; ANDREW SNOWDEN Abstract: Twisted commutative algebras (tca’s) have played an important role in the nascent field of representation stability. Let $A_{d}$ be the tca freely generated by $d$ indeterminates of degree 1. In a previous paper, we determined the structure of the category of $A_{1}$ -modules (which is equivalent to the category of $\mathbf{FI}$ -modules). In this paper, we establish analogous results for the category of $A_{d}$ -modules, for any $d$ . Modules over $A_{d}$ are closely related to the structures used by the authors in previous works studying syzygies of Segre and Veronese embeddings, and we hope the results of this paper will eventually lead to improvements on those works. Our results also have implications in asymptotic commutative algebra. PubDate: 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z DOI: 10.1017/fms.2018.27 Issue No:Vol. 7 (2019)
Authors:ANIRBAN BASAK; ELLIOT PAQUETTE, OFER ZEITOUNI Abstract: We consider the spectrum of additive, polynomially vanishing random perturbations of deterministic matrices, as follows. Let $M_{N}$ be a deterministic $N\times N$ matrix, and let $G_{N}$ be a complex Ginibre matrix. We consider the matrix ${\mathcal{M}}_{N}=M_{N}+N^{-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}}G_{N}$ , where $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}>1/2$ . With $L_{N}$ the empirical measure of eigenvalues of ${\mathcal{M}}_{N}$ , we provide a general deterministic equivalence theorem that ties $L_{N}$ to the singular values of $z-M_{N}$ , with $z\in \mathbb{C}$ . We then compute the limit of $L_{N}$ when PubDate: 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z DOI: 10.1017/fms.2018.29 Issue No:Vol. 7 (2019)

Authors:SŁAWOMIR SOLECKI Abstract: First, we prove a theorem on dynamics of actions of monoids by endomorphisms of semigroups. Second, we introduce algebraic structures suitable for formalizing infinitary Ramsey statements and prove a theorem that such statements are implied by the existence of appropriate homomorphisms between the algebraic structures. We make a connection between the two themes above, which allows us to prove some general Ramsey theorems for sequences. We give a new proof of the Furstenberg–Katznelson Ramsey theorem; in fact, we obtain a version of this theorem that is stronger than the original one. We answer in the negative a question of Lupini on possible extensions of Gowers’ Ramsey theorem. PubDate: 2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z DOI: 10.1017/fms.2018.28 Issue No:Vol. 7 (2019)
Authors:MATTHEW JENSSEN; FELIX JOOS, WILL PERKINS Abstract: We prove a lower bound on the entropy of sphere packings of $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ of density $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E9}(d\cdot 2^{-d})$ . The entropy measures how plentiful such packings are, and our result is significantly stronger than the trivial lower bound that can be obtained from the mere existence of a dense packing. Our method also provides a new, statistical-physics-based proof of the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}(d\cdot 2^{-d})$ lower bound on the maximum sphere packing density by showing that the expected packing density of a random configuration from the hard sphere model is at least $(1+o_{d}(1))\log (2/\sqrt{3})d\cdot 2^{-d}$ when the ratio of the fugacity parameter to the volume covered by a single sphere is at least $3^{-d/2}$ . Such a bound on the sphere packing density was first achieved by Rogers, with subsequent improvements to the leading constant by Davenport and Rogers, Ball, Vance, and Venkatesh.
