  • Algebraic Geometry Is One of the Most Diverse Fields of Research In
    Excerpt Index Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-45946-5- Current Developments in Algebraic Geometry Edited by Lucia Caporaso, James McKernan, Mircea Mustață and Mihnea Popa Frontmatter More information Algebraic geometry is one of the most diverse fields of research in mathematics. It has had an incredible evolution over the past century, with new subfields constantly branching off and spectacular progress in certain directions and, at the same time, with many fundamental unsolved problems still to be tackled. In the spring of 2009 the first main workshop of the MSRI algebraic ge- ometry program served as an introductory panorama of current progress in the field, addressed to both beginners and experts. This volume reflects that spirit, offering expository overviews of the state of the art in many areas of algebraic geometry. Prerequisites are kept to a minimum, making the book accessible to a broad range of mathematicians. Many chapters present approaches to long-standing open problems by means of modern techniques currently under development and contain questions and conjectures to help spur future research. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Excerpt Index Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-45946-5- Current Developments in Algebraic Geometry Edited by Lucia Caporaso, James McKernan, Mircea Mustață and Mihnea Popa Frontmatter More information © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Excerpt Index Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-45946-5- Current Developments in Algebraic Geometry

  • Black Hole Formation and Stability: a Mathematical Investigation
    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 55, Number 1, January 2018, Pages 1–30 http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/bull/1592 Article electronically published on September 25, 2017 BLACK HOLE FORMATION AND STABILITY: A MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATION LYDIA BIERI Abstract. The dynamics of the Einstein equations feature the formation of black holes. These are related to the presence of trapped surfaces in the spacetime manifold. The mathematical study of these phenomena has gained momentum since D. Christodoulou’s breakthrough result proving that, in the regime of pure general relativity, trapped surfaces form through the focusing of gravitational waves. (The latter were observed for the first time in 2015 by Advanced LIGO.) The proof combines new ideas from geometric analysis and nonlinear partial differential equations, and it introduces new methods to solve large data problems. These methods have many applications beyond general relativity. D. Christodoulou’s result was generalized by S. Klainerman and I. Rodnianski, and more recently by these authors and J. Luk. Here, we investigate the dynamics of the Einstein equations, focusing on these works. Finally, we address the question of stability of black holes and what has been known so far, involving recent works of many contributors. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2.

    D-MODULES IN BIRATIONAL GEOMETRY MIHNEA POPA Abstract. It is well known that numerical quantities arising from the theory of D-modules are related to invariants of singularities in birational geometry. This paper surveys a deeper relationship between the two areas, where the numerical connections are enhanced to sheaf theoretic constructions facilitated by the theory of mixed Hodge modules. The emphasis is placed on the recent theory of Hodge ideals. 1. Introduction. Ad hoc arguments based on differentiating rational functions or sections of line bundles abound in complex and birational geometry. To pick just a couple of examples, topics where such arguments have made a deep impact are the study of adjoint linear series on smooth projective varieties, see for instance Demailly’s work on effective very ampleness [Dem93] and its more algebraic incarnation in [ELN96], and the study of hyperbolicity, see for instance Siu’s survey [Siu04] and the references therein. A systematic approach, as well as an enlargement of the class of objects to which differ- entiation techniques apply, is provided by the theory of D-modules, which has however only recently begun to have a stronger impact in birational geometry. The new developments are mainly due to a better understanding of Morihiko Saito’s theory of mixed Hodge modules [Sai88], [Sai90], and hence to deeper connections with Hodge theory and coherent sheaf theory. Placing problems in this context automatically brings in important tools such as vanishing theorems, perverse sheaves, or the V -filtration, in a unified way. Connections between invariants arising from log resolutions of singularities and invariants arising from the theory of D-modules go back a while however.

  • From Stoilow Seminar on Complex Analysis to the Seminar on Potential Theory ∗
    FROM STOILOW SEMINAR ON COMPLEX ANALYSIS TO THE SEMINAR ON POTENTIAL THEORY ∗ CABIRIA ANDREIAN CAZACU I have the privilege to know Professor Nicu Boboc for a half century and to have been a witness of all his brilliant scientific and didactic achievements. For a few weeks during the autumn of 1953, I was the teaching assis- tant for the course of Professor Simion Stoilow, Theory of functions of one complex variable, to an exceptional group of students, who later on strongly distinguished themselves by their work in the international mathematics life. The young Nicu Boboc was one of those enthusiastic and passionate students, together with Aurel Cornea, Ciprian Foia¸s,George Gussi, Drago¸sLazˇar,Paul Mustat¸ˇa,Valentin Poenaru, Nicolae Radu, Marius Stoka, Kostake Teleman, Samuel Zaidman and others. They tumultuously engaged in discussions, bring- ing up ideas and proposing solutions. Surely, I have got to know him better in the following years, at the special courses of our Professor Stoilow, and after defending his diploma thesis in 1955. To highlight that, he published his first 3 papers as an undergraduate student: L'unicit´edu probl`emede Dirichlet pur des ´equationsde type elliptique with his colleague S. Zaidman (1954), Un exemple de fonction continue de Darboux (1954), and Sur un th´eor`emede type Sturm et applications au probl`emede la s´eparation des z´eros des fonctions propres de l'op´erateur ∆ (1955). Immediately after graduation, he was retained at Professor's Stoilow Chair as teaching assistant (1955), assistant (1957), lecturer (1959), associate professor (1969), professor (1973), so that we worked 48 years in the same Analysis Department of the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Bucharest.

  • DERIVATIVE COMPLEX, BGG CORRESPONDENCE, and NUMERICAL INEQUALITIES 3 Are Surjective, I.E
    DERIVATIVE COMPLEX, BGG CORRESPONDENCE, AND NUMERICAL INEQUALITIES FOR COMPACT KAHLER¨ MANIFOLDS ROBERT LAZARSFELD AND MIHNEA POPA Introduction Given an irregular compact K¨ahler manifold X, one can form the derivative complex of X, which governs the deformation theory of the groups Hi(X, α) as α varies over Pic0(X). Together with its variants, it plays a central role in a body of work involving generic vanishing theorems. The purpose of this paper is to present two new applications of this complex. First, we show that it fits neatly into the setting of the so-called Bernstein-Gel’fand-Gel’fand (BGG) correspondence between modules over an exterior algebra and linear complexes over a symmetric algebra (cf. [BGG], [EFS], [Eis], [Co]). What comes out here is that some natural cohomology modules associated to X have a surprisingly simple algebraic structure, and that conversely one can read off from these modules some basic geometric invariants associated to the Albanese mapping of X. Secondly, under an additional hypothesis, the derivative complex determines a vector bundle on the projectivized tangent space to Pic0(X) at the origin. We show that this bundle, which encodes the infinitesimal behavior of the Hilbert scheme of paracanonical divisors along the canonical linear series, can be used to generate inequalities among numerical invariants of X. Turning to details, we start by introducing the main homological players in our story. 1 Let X be a compact K¨ahler manifold of dimension d, with H (X, X ) = 0, and let P = 1 O 6 1 Psub H (X, X ) be the projective space of one-dimensional subspaces of H (X, X ).
