Motivated by a recent question of Peyre, we apply the Hardy–Littlewood circle method to count “sufficiently free” rational points of bounded height on arbitrary smooth projective hypersurfaces of low degree that are defined over the rationals.

Let $k$ be a field, $A$ be a finitely generated associative $k$-algebra and Rep$_A[n]$ be the functor Fields$_k\to$ Sets, which sends a field $K$ containing $k$ to the set of isomorphism classes of representations of $A_K$ of dimension at most $n$. We study the asymptotic behavior of the essential dimension of this functor, i.e., the function $r_A(n) := \mathrm {ed}_k$ (Rep$_A[n])$, as $n\to\infty$

We prove that the rational Euler characteristic of Out($F_n$) is always negative and its asymptotic growth rate is $\Gamma (n-\frac{3}{2})/\sqrt{2\pi}\log^2n$. This settles a 1987 conjecture of J. Smillie and the second author. We establish connections with the Lambert $W$-function and the zeta function.

We prove that a word hyperbolic group which admits a $P_{2q+1}$-Anosov representation into $\mathsf{PGL}(4q+2, \mathbb{R})$ contains a finite-index subgroup which is either free or a surface group. As a consequence, we give an affirmative answer to Sambarino's question for Borel Anosov representations into $\mathsf{SL}(4q+2,\mathbb{R})$.

We compute the invariants of Weyl groups in mod 2 Milnor $K$-theory and more general cycle modules, which are annihilated by 2. Over a base field of characteristic coprime to the group order, the invariants decompose as direct sums of the coefficient module. All basis elements are induced either by Stiefel–Whitney classes or specific invariants in the Witt ring. The proof is based on Serre’s splitting

Consider an involution of a smooth projective variety over a field of characteristic not two. We look at the relations between the variety and the fixed locus of the involution from the point of view of cobordism.We show in particular that the fixed locus has dimension larger than its codimension when certain Chern numbers of the variety are not divisible by two, or four. Some of those results, but

We recover results by Ullmo–Yafaev and Peterzil–Starchenko on the closure of the image of an algebraic variety in a compact complex torus. Our approach uses directed closed currents and allows us to extend the result for dimension 1 flows to the setting of commutative complex Lie groups which are not necessarily compact. A version of the classical Ax–Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem for commutative complex

A classical theorem due to Wadsley implies that, on a connected contact manifold all of whose Reeb orbits are closed, there is a common period for the Reeb orbits. In this paper we show that, for any Reeb flow on a closed connected 3-manifold, the following conditions are actually equivalent: (1) every Reeb orbit is closed; (2) all closed Reeb orbits have a common period; (3) the action spectrum has

We study harmonic functions and Poisson boundaries for Borel probability measures on general (i.e., not necessarily locally compact) topological groups, and we prove that a second-countable topological group is amenable if and only if it admits a fully supported, regular Borel probability measure with trivial Poisson boundary. This generalizes work of Kaimanovich–Vershik and Rosenblatt, confirms a

For any $\varepsilon > 0$, we construct a closed hyperbolic surface of genus $g=g(\varepsilon)$ with a set of at most $\varepsilon g$ systoles that fill, meaning that each component of the complement of their union is contractible. This surface is also a critical point of index at most $\varepsilon g$ for the systole function, disproving the lower bound of $2g-1$ posited by Schmutz Schaller.

Let $\mathbb C^2$ be the standard symplectic vector space and $L(a,b) \subset \mathbb C^2$ be the product Lagrangian torus, that is, a product of two circles of areas $a$ and $b$ in $\mathbb C$. We give a complete answer to the question of finding the minimal ball into which these Lagrangians may be squeezed by a Hamiltonian flow. The result is that there is full rigidity when $a \leq b \leq 2a$, which

Let $f$ be a conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism, which is homotopic to an Anosov automorphism $A$ on $\mathbb{T}^3$. We show that the stable and unstable bundles of $f$ are jointly integrable if and only if every periodic point of $f$ admits the same center Lyapunov exponent with $A$. This implies every conservative partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism, which is homotopic to an Anosov

The Lagrange and Markov spectra are classical objects in Number Theory related to certain Diophantine approximation problems. Geometrically, they are the spectra of heights of geodesics in the modular surface. These objects were first studied by A. Markov in 1879, but, despite many efforts, the structure of the complement $M\setminus L$ of the Lagrange spectrum $L$ in the Markov spectrum $M$ remained

We classify simple groups that act by birational transformations on compact complex Kähler surfaces. Moreover, we show that every finitely generated simple group that acts nontrivially by birational transformations on a projective surface over an arbitrary field is finite.

Given an open cover of a closed symplectic manifold, consider all smooth partitions of unity consisting of functions supported in the covering sets. The Poisson bracket invariant of the cover measures how much the functions from such a partition of unity can become close to being Poisson commuting. We introduce a new approach to this invariant, which enables us to prove the lower bound conjectured

We extend the concept of genuine rigidity of submanifolds by allowing mild singularities, mainly to obtain newglobal rigidity results and unify the known ones. As one of the consequences, we simultaneously extend and unify Sacksteder and Dajczer–Gromoll theorems by showing that any compact $n$-dimensional submanifold of $\mathbb R^{n+p}$ is singularly genuinely rigid in $\mathbb R^{n+q}$, for any $q 更新日期：2020-07-20 • Comment.

This paper describes connected components of the strata of holomorphic abelian differentials on marked Riemann surfaces with prescribed degrees of zeros. Unlike the case for unmarked Riemann surfaces, we find there can be many connected components, distinguished by roots of the cotangent bundle of the surface. In the course of our investigation we also characterize the images of the fundamental groups
