We give a short new computation of the quantum cohomology of an arbitrary smooth (semiprojective) toric variety $X$, by showing directly that the Kodaira–Spencer map of Fukaya–Oh–Ohta–Ono defines an isomorphism onto a suitable Jacobian ring. In contrast to previous results of this kind, $X$ need not be compact. The proof is based on the purely algebraic fact that a class of generalized Jacobian rings associated to $X$ are free as modules over the Novikov ring. When $X$ is monotone the presentation we obtain is completely explicit, using only well-known computations with the standard complex structure.

Pour un groupe algébrique semi-simple simplement connexe sur un corps algébriquement clos de caractéristique positive, nous avons précédemment construit un scindage de l’endomorphisme de Frobenius sur son algèbre des distributions. Nous généralisons la construction au cas de des groupes réductifs connexes et en dégageons les corollaires correspondants.For a simply connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic we have already constructed a splitting of the Frobenius endomorphism on its algebra of distributions. We generalize the construction to the case of general connected reductive groups and derive the corresponding corollaries.

We give an operadic definition of a genuine symmetric monoidal $G$-category, and we prove that its classifying space is a genuine $E_\infty $$G-space. We do this by developing some very general categorical coherence theory. We combine results of Corner and Gurski, Power and Lack to develop a strictification theory for pseudoalgebras over operads and monads. It specializes to strictify genuine symmetric monoidal G-categories to genuine permutative G-categories. All of our work takes place in a general internal categorical framework that has many quite different specializations. When G is a finite group, the theory here combines with previous work to generalize equivariant infinite loop space theory from strict space level input to considerably more general category level input. It takes genuine symmetric monoidal G-categories as input to an equivariant infinite loop space machine that gives genuine \Omega -G-spectra as output. 更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q. J. Math. (IF 0.636) Pub Date : 2019-06-22 Lee E. A variety that contains continuum many subvarieties is said to be huge. A sufficient condition is established under which an involution monoid generates a variety that is huge by virtue of its lattice of subvarieties order-embedding the power set lattice of the positive integers. Based on this result, several examples of finite involution monoids with extreme varietal properties are exhibited. These examples—all first of their kinds—include the following: finite involution monoids that generate huge varieties but whose reduct monoids generate Cross varieties; two finite involution monoids sharing a common reduct monoid such that one generates a huge, non-finitely based variety while the other generates a Cross variety; and two finite involution monoids that generate Cross varieties, the join of which is huge. 更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q.

Using work of Fay, we construct Poincaré series which span the space of such forms and show that their elliptic coefficients exhibit duality properties which are similar to the properties known for Fourier coefficients of harmonic Maass forms and weakly holomorphic modular forms. 更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q.

We study the natural functional F=\frac {\operatorname {scal}^2}{|\operatorname {Ric}|^2} on the space of all non-flat left-invariant metrics on all solvable Lie groups of a given dimension n. As an application of properties of the beta operator, we obtain that solvsolitons are the only global maxima of F restricted to the set of all left-invariant metrics on a given unimodular solvable Lie group, and beyond the unimodular case, we obtain the same result for almost-abelian Lie groups. Many other aspects of the behavior of F are clarified. 更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q. J. Math. (IF 0.636) Pub Date : 2019-07-15 Fino A, Rollenske S, Ruppenthal J. It is conjectured that the Dolbeault cohomology of a complex nilmanifold X is computed by left-invariant forms. We prove this under the assumption that X is suitably foliated in toroidal groups and deduce that the conjecture holds in real dimension up to six. Our approach generalizes previous methods, where the existence of a holomorphic fibration was a crucial ingredient. 更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q. J. Math. (IF 0.636) Pub Date : 2019-07-15 Kwon M, Zehmisch K. We introduce the concept of fittings to symplectic fillings of the unit cotangent bundle of odd-dimensional spheres.

In particular, we show how Hopf invariants for a product of fibrations can be identified as shuffle joins of Hopf invariants for the factors. Our results are applied to the study of Farber’s topological complexity for two-cell complexes, as well as to the construction of a counterexample to the analogue for topological complexity of Ganea’s conjecture on Lusternik–Schnirelmann category. 更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q. J. Math. (IF 0.636) Pub Date : 2019-07-16 Jones G, Kirby J, Le Gal O, et al. Given a collection \mathcal {A} of holomorphic functions, we consider how to describe all the holomorphic functions locally definable from \mathcal {A}. The notion of local definability of holomorphic functions was introduced by Wilkie, who gave a complete description of all functions locally definable from \mathcal {A} in the neighbourhood of a generic point. We prove that this description is no longer complete in the neighbourhood of non-generic points. More precisely, we produce three examples of holomorphic functions that suggest that at least three new operations need to be added to Wilkie’s description in order to capture local definability in its entirety. The constructions illustrate the interaction between resolution of singularities and definability in the o-minimal setting. 更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q. J. Math. (IF 0.636) Pub Date : 2019-07-24 Achar P, Hardesty W. In this paper, we carry out several computations involving graded (or {{\mathbb {G}}_{\textrm {m}}}-equivariant) perverse-coherent sheaves on the nilpotent cone of a reductive group in good characteristic. In the first part of the paper, we compute the weight of the {{\mathbb {G}}_{\textrm {m}}}-action on certain normalized (or ‘canonical’) simple objects, confirming an old prediction of Ostrik. In the second part of the paper, we explicitly describe all simple perverse-coherent sheaves for G = PGL_3, in every characteristic other than 2 or 3. Applications include an explicit description of the cohomology of tilting modules for the corresponding quantum group, as well as a proof that \textsf {PCoh}^{{{\mathbb {G}}_{\textrm {m}}}}({\mathcal {N}}) never admits a positive grading when the characteristic of the field is greater than 3. 更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q.

Given a sequence \{Z_d\}_{d\in \mathbb{N}} of smooth and compact hypersurfaces in {\mathbb{R}}^{n-1}, we prove that (up to extracting subsequences) there exists a regular definable hypersurface \Gamma \subset {\mathbb{R}}\textrm{P}^n such that each manifold Z_d is diffeomorphic to a component of the zero set on \Gamma of some polynomial of degree d. (This is in sharp contrast with the case when \Gamma is semialgebraic, where for example the homological complexity of the zero set of a polynomial p on \Gamma is bounded by a polynomial in \deg (p).) More precisely, given the above sequence of hypersurfaces, we construct a regular, compact, semianalytic hypersurface \Gamma \subset {\mathbb{R}}\textrm{P}^{n} containing a subset D homeomorphic to a disk, and a family of polynomials \{p_m\}_{m\in \mathbb{N}} of degree \deg (p_m)=d_m such that (D, Z(p_m)\cap D)\sim ({\mathbb{R}}^{n-1}, Z_{d_m}), i.e. the zero set of p_m in D is isotopic to Z_{d_m} in {\mathbb{R}}^{n-1}. This says that, up to extracting subsequences, the intersection of \Gamma with a hypersurface of degree d can be as complicated as we want. We call these ‘pathological examples’. In particular, we show that for every 0 \leq k \leq n-2 and every sequence of natural numbers a=\{a_d\}_{d\in \mathbb{N}} there is a regular, compact semianalytic hypersurface \Gamma \subset {\mathbb{R}}\textrm{P}^n, a subsequence \{a_{d_m}\}_{m\in \mathbb{N}} and homogeneous polynomials \{p_{m}\}_{m\in \mathbb{N}} of degree \deg (p_m)=d_m such that (0.1)$$$$b_k(\Gamma\cap Z(p_m))\geq a_{d_m}.$$$$(Here b_k denotes the kth Betti number.) This generalizes a result of Gwoździewicz et al. [13]. On the other hand, for a given definable \Gamma we show that the Fubini–Study measure, in the Gaussian probability space of polynomials of degree d, of the set \Sigma _{d_m,a, \Gamma } of polynomials verifying (0.10.1) is positive, but there exists a constant c_\Gamma such that$$\begin{equation*}0<{\mathbb{P}}(\Sigma_{d_m, a, \Gamma})\leq \frac{c_{\Gamma} d_m^{\frac{n-1}{2}}}{a_{d_m}}.\end{equation*}$$This shows that the set of ‘pathological examples’ has ‘small’ measure (the faster a grows, the smaller the measure and pathologies are therefore rare). In fact we show that given \Gamma, for most polynomials a Bézout-type bound holds for the intersection \Gamma \cap Z(p): for every 0\leq k\leq n-2 and t>0:$$\begin{equation*}{\mathbb{P}}\left(\{b_k(\Gamma\cap Z(p))\geq t d^{n-1} \}\right)\leq \frac{c_\Gamma}{td^{\frac{n-1}{2}}}.\end{equation*}$$更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q. J. Math. (IF 0.636) Pub Date : 2019-10-21 Thakre V. We investigate an obstruction for hypersymplectic manifolds equipped with a free, isometric action of SU(1,1). When the obstruction vanishes, we show that the manifold is a metric cone over a split 3-Sasakian manifold. Furthermore, if the action of SU(1,1) is also proper, then the hypersymplectic manifold fibres over a para-quaternionic Kähler manifold. We conclude the article with some examples for which the obstruction vanishes. In particular, we show that the moduli space to Nahm–Schmid equations admits a fibration over a para-quaternionic Kähler manifold. 更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q. J. Math.

Let G be a finite group and B a block of {\mathcal{O}} G with normal abelian defect group and abelian p^{\prime} inertial quotient L. We show that B is isomorphic to its second Frobenius twist. This is motivated by the fact that bounding Frobenius numbers is one of the key steps towards Donovan’s conjecture. For {\mathcal{O}}=k, we give an explicit description of the basic algebra of B as a quiver with relations. It is a quantized version of the group algebra of the semidirect product P\rtimes L. 更新日期：2020-01-04 • Q. J. Math. (IF 0.636) Pub Date : 2019-10-21 Waibel F.

J. Math. (IF 0.636) Pub Date : 2019-11-18 Harman G. In this paper we prove that the exact analogue of the author’s work with real irrationals and rational primes (G. Harman, On the distribution of \alpha p modulo one II, Proc. London Math. Soc. (3) 72, 1996, 241–260) holds for approximating \alpha \in \mathbb{C}\setminus \mathbb{Q}[i] with Gaussian primes. To be precise, we show that for such \alpha and arbitrary complex \beta there are infinitely many solutions in Gaussian primes p to$$\begin{equation*} ||\alpha p + \beta|| <| p|^{-7/22}, \end{equation*}$$where$||\cdot ||$denotes distance to a nearest member of$\mathbb{Z}[i]$. We shall, in fact, prove a slightly more general result with the Gaussian primes in sectors, and along the way improve a recent result due to Baier (S. Baier, Diophantine approximation on lines in$\mathbb{C}^2\$ with Gaussian prime constraints, Eur. J. Math. 3, 2017, 614–649).
