Abstract

Let $f:\mathbf{P}^n\to\mathbf{P}^n$ be a $q$-polarized endomorphism, where $q>1$, and let $R_f$ be its ramification divisor. We study the singularities of the ramification pair $(\mathbf{P}^n,R_f)$. We show that, for a general $f$, the pair $(\mathbf{P}^n,R_f)$ is log canonical. When $n=2$, we prove that there exists an integer $s\geq1$ such that the log canonical threshold $\mathrm{lct}(\mathbf{P}^2;R_{f^s})\geq1/(q^s-1)$. The passage to an iterate is necessary in general, and the lower bound is optimal. In particular, $(\mathbf{P}^2,R_{f^s}/(q^s-1))$ is a log Calabi--Yau pair, completing the proof of Gongyo's conjecture for smooth projective surfaces.

On the DML(1) property for regular endomorphisms of affine spaces: the $\mathbb{G}_m$-case

Let $f$ be a regular endomorphism of $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^N$ and let $C\subseteq\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^N$ be an irreducible curve. Suppose $C$ has an infinite intersection with the $f$-orbit of a point $x\in\mathbb{A}^N(\mathbb{C})$. Then the normalization of $C$ is isomorphic to either $\mathbb{A}^1$ or $\mathbb{...

Planar rank-one sheaves on P3, obstruction bundles, and divisor-supported Donaldson–Thomas series

Let $X=\mathbb{P}^3$ and let \[ \alpha_n=(0,1,-\tfrac12,\tfrac16-n)\in H^{\mathrm{even}}(X,\mathbb{Q}) \] with respect to the basis $1,H,H^2,H^3$, where $H=c_1(\mathcal{O}_X(1))$. We prove that every Gieseker semistable sheaf on $X$ with Chern character $\alpha_n$ is stable and uniquely of the form $\iota_{P*}\mathcal{...

A characterization of submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ satisfying optimal rigidity estimates

Let $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{m \times n}$ be a compact $C^1$-submanifold with boundary, $p \in (1,\infty)$ and $Q := (0,1)^n$. We prove that $K$ satisfies a rigidity estimate of the form $\|Du - (Du)_{Q}\|_{L^p} \leq C \|\mathrm{dist}_K(Du)\|_{L^p}$, $u \in W^{1,p}(Q,\mathbb{R}^m)$, if and only if $K$ satisfies sequentia...

A general endomorphism of $\mathbb{P}^k$ has trivial iterated centralizer

Fix integers $k,d\geq2$. Let $\operatorname{End}_d^k$ denote the parameter space of holomorphic endomorphisms of $\mathbb{P}^k$ of algebraic degree $d$. We prove that there exists a dense Zariski open subset $U_{d,k}\subset\operatorname{End}_d^k$, defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, such that, for every $f\in U_{d,k}(\mathbb{C}...

Modularity of Point Counts for the Curves $X^a=Y^b$: New Rogers--Ramanujan Identities

For coprime $1<a<b$, let $M_n^{a,b}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ be the set of commuting pairs of nilpotent $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with $X^a=Y^b$. Huang, Jiang, and Oblomkov assembled their orders as an Eulerian $q$-series $Z_{a,b}(q)$. They conjectured that it is an explicit product $P_{a,b}(q)$ involving Jacobi's...

Additive Decompositions by Conjugacy Classes in $M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$

Let $n \geq 2$ be a positive integer, and $q$ be a prime power. We study the $number$ of additive decompositions of nonscalar matrices in the matrix ring $M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ as sums of elements from two prescribed conjugacy classes. Let $z \in M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ be nonscalar. We show that, except for the case $(n,q,\te...
