Pure Maths Cluster 12Pp 210Sq Pure Mathematics Journals FROM CAMBRIDGE HOME TO 19 JOURNALS IN PURE MATHEMATICS including Compositio Mathematica Access free papers in pure mathematics Visit the home for pure mathematics on Cambridge Core to access free journals content as well as sample chapters from related books. cambridge.org/pure-mathematics 2 Introduction from the Editors Cambridge University Press has a centuries old tradition of publishing in mathematics, with an unrivalled reputation for editorial and production quality. We’ve published Isaac Newton, through to G.H. Hardy and J.E. Littlewood, and the modern era with Fields medallists such as Kunihiko Kodaira, Enrico Bombieri, Michael Atiyah, Shigefumi Mori and Terry Tao. Today our journal publishing includes some 19 titles covering pure mathematics, many of which we publish on behalf of learned societies or institutions. Cambridge has built substantial expertise in the publishing of mathematics, and the particular characteristics of the subject that any publishing strategy must address. We understand how mathematics is communicated, whether the audience is made up of students, researchers, or educators. In a rapidly changing world we’re also committed to innovation, establishing the Forum of Mathematics, Pi and Sigma as the premier gold open access journals in mathematics. From 2019, Cambridge publishes two journals on behalf of the Canadian Mathematical Society, notably, the Canadian Journal of Mathematics and Canadian Mathematical Bulletin. For any questions about our journal publishing please get in touch with Kathleen Too ([email protected]), or Samira Ceccarelli ([email protected]). FirstView At Cambridge, we are proud to offer FirstView, our online ahead of print publishing option, for many of our pure mathematics titles. FirstView allows a paper to be published, and cited, as soon as it is ready for publication, before it is assigned to a particular journal issue, thus decreasing the time between acceptance and publication. Journals using FirstView are marked with the icon: FirstView Open Access from Cambridge Journals A number of funding agencies and institutions now mandate Open Access (OA) publication of work which they support. Cambridge is fully compliant with the requirements of NIH, The Wellcome Trust, UKRC, HHMI and many others. Our standard copyright forms allow OA Archiving (for instance posting the accepted manuscript in an institutional repository or on a personal webpage). Authors can also choose to publish OA (making articles freely available for non-commercial use) in a large number of our journals. Cambridge offer discounts and waivers for publishing Open Access, including those negotiated by your institution as part of a read and publish agreement. For more details, please see: cambridge.org/openaccess 3 The Home for High Quality Open access Open Access in Mathematics Forum of Mathematics cambridge.org/fom Pi Forum of Mathematics, Pi is the open access alternative to the leading generalist mathematics journals and is of real interest to a broad cross- section of all mathematicians.

    Bimeromorphic geometry of K¨ahler threefolds Andreas H¨oring and Thomas Peternell Abstract. We describe the recently established minimal model program for (non-algebraic) K¨ahler threefolds as well as the abundance theorem for these spaces. 1. Introduction Given a complex projective manifold X, the Minimal Model Program (MMP) predicts that either X is covered by rational curves (X is uniruled) or X has a ′ - slightly singular - birational minimal model X whose canonical divisor KX′ is nef; and then the abundance conjecture says that some multiple mKX′ is spanned by global sections (so X′ is a good minimal model). The MMP also predicts how to achieve the birational model, namely by a sequence of divisorial contractions and flips. In dimension three, the MMP is completely established (cf. [Kwc92], [KM98] for surveys), in dimension four, the existence of minimal models is es- tablished ([BCHM10], [Fuj04], [Fuj05]), but abundance is wide open. In higher dimensions minimal models exists if X is of general type [BCHM10]; abundance not being an issue in this case. In this article we discuss the following natural Question 1.1. Does the MMP work for general (non-algebraic) compact K¨ahler manifolds? Although the basic methods used in minimal model theory all fail in the K¨ahler arXiv:1701.01653v1 [math.CV] 6 Jan 2017 case, there is no apparent reason why the MMP should not hold in the K¨ahler category. And in fact, in recent papers [HP16], [HP15] and [CHP16], the K¨ahler MMP was established in dimension three: Theorem 1.2. Let X be a normal Q-factorial compact K¨ahler threefold with terminal singularities.

  • Density of Algebraic Points on Noetherian Varieties 3
    DENSITY OF ALGEBRAIC POINTS ON NOETHERIAN VARIETIES GAL BINYAMINI Abstract. Let Ω ⊂ Rn be a relatively compact domain. A finite collection of real-valued functions on Ω is called a Noetherian chain if the partial derivatives of each function are expressible as polynomials in the functions. A Noether- ian function is a polynomial combination of elements of a Noetherian chain. We introduce Noetherian parameters (degrees, size of the coefficients) which measure the complexity of a Noetherian chain. Our main result is an explicit form of the Pila-Wilkie theorem for sets defined using Noetherian equalities and inequalities: for any ε> 0, the number of points of height H in the tran- scendental part of the set is at most C ·Hε where C can be explicitly estimated from the Noetherian parameters and ε. We show that many functions of interest in arithmetic geometry fall within the Noetherian class, including elliptic and abelian functions, modular func- tions and universal covers of compact Riemann surfaces, Jacobi theta func- tions, periods of algebraic integrals, and the uniformizing map of the Siegel modular variety Ag . We thus effectivize the (geometric side of) Pila-Zannier strategy for unlikely intersections in those instances that involve only compact domains. 1. Introduction 1.1. The (real) Noetherian class. Let ΩR ⊂ Rn be a bounded domain, and n denote by x := (x1,...,xn) a system of coordinates on R . A collection of analytic ℓ functions φ := (φ1,...,φℓ): Ω¯ R → R is called a (complex) real Noetherian chain if it satisfies an overdetermined system of algebraic partial differential equations, i =1,...,ℓ ∂φi = Pi,j (x, φ), (1) ∂xj j =1,...,n where P are polynomials.
