Abstract

Let $D\subset\mathbb{P}^n$, $n\geqslant2$, be an arbitrary cubic hypersurface, and let $D_{\mathrm{red}}$ denote its reduced support. We prove that $\mathbb{P}^n\setminus D$ is holomorphically elliptic, and hence Oka, unless $D_{\mathrm{red}}$ is the union of three distinct hyperplanes containing a common codimension-two linear subspace. In the exceptional case, $\mathbb{P}^n\setminus D\cong(\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0,1\})\times\mathbb{C}^{n-1}$, so the complement is not Oka. As applications, we prove that, for every elliptic curve $E$, the space of degree-three holomorphic maps $E\to\mathbb{P}^1$, and the space of degree-three holomorphic self-maps of $\mathbb{P}^1$, are both holomorphically elliptic, and hence Oka. The second application is connected with the classification through an irreducible cubic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^4$.

Generic Manin-Mumford

Given a collection of algebraic numbers $\mathcal{S}\subset \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ we study the varieties $V$ in $\mathbb{A}^m_\mathbb{C}$ such that $V(\mathbb{C})\cap\mathcal{S}^m$ is Zariski-dense in $V$. We show that for many classical families of algebraic numbers $\mathcal{S}$---such as the family of roots of gene...

\v{C}ech complexes for finite sets

Let $\mathcal{F}^{m}=\{A\subset[m]\}$, endowed with the symmetric difference metric and the Cardinality Reverse-Lexicographic order. That way, we compute the homotopy type $\operatorname{\v{C}ech}\left(\mathcal{F}_{\preceq a}^m; \frac{r}{2}=1\right)$ by relating it to consecutively adding vertices of $\mathbb{I}^m$, th...

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{...

Barbell twists are natural

For any oriented smooth $4$--manifold $X$ diffeomorphic to $(S^2\times D^2)^{\natural n}$ ($n\geq0$), the author establishes a natural isomorphism of abelian groups: $$\mathrm{Mod}(X,\partial X)\cong \mathrm{Mod}(D^4,\partial D^4)\times\wedge^2H_2(X;\mathbb{Z}),$$ concerning the (smooth) boundary-fixing mapping class g...

Intersecting families and nonvanishing multivariate polynomials over finite fields

Let $\mathcal{P}_{n,d}$ be the space of polynomials in $n$ variables over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of degree at most $d$. Two polynomials $f,g\in\mathcal{P}_{n,d}$ intersect if $f(\mathbf a)=g(\mathbf a)$ for some $\mathbf a\in\mathbb{F}_q^n$. A star consists of all polynomials $f\in\mathcal{P}_{n,d}$ satisfying $f(\mathbf a)=b$...

Range-compatible homomorphisms on Hermitian matrices

Let $\mathbb{D}$ be a division ring with an involution $x \mapsto x^\star$, and $n \geq 2$ be an integer. Denote by $\mathcal{H}_n(\mathbb{D})$ the set of all $n$-by-$n$ Hermitian matrices with entries in $\mathbb{D}$, and by $\mathcal{A}\mathcal{H}_n(\mathbb{D})$ the set of all matrices $A-A^\star$ with $A \in \mathca...
