Borisov-Joyce constructed a real virtual cycle on compact moduli spaces of stable sheaves on Calabi-Yau 4-folds, using derived differential geometry. We construct an algebraic virtual cycle. A key step is a localisation of Edidin-Graham's square root Euler class for $SO(r,mathbb C)$ bundles to the zero locus of an isotropic section, or to the support of an isotropic cone. We prove a torus localisation formula, making the invariants computable and extending them to the noncompact case when the fixed locus is compact. We give a $K$-theoretic refinement by defining $K$-theoretic square root Euler classes and their localised versions. In a sequel we prove our invariants reproduce those of Borisov-Joyce.

Let $G$ be a reductive group and $U,U^-$ be the unipotent radicals of a pair of opposite parabolic subgroups $P,P^-$. We prove that the DG-categories of $U(!(t)!)$-equivariant and $U^-(!(t)!)$-equivariant D-modules on the affine Grassmannian $Gr_G$ are canonically dual to each other. We show that the unit object witnessing this duality is given by nearby cycles on the Drinfeld-Gaitsgory-Vinberg interpolation Grassmannian defined in arXiv:1805.07721. We study various properties of the mentioned nearby cycles, in particular compare them with the nearby cycles studied in arXiv:1411.4206 and arXiv:1607.00586. We also generalize our results to the Beilinson-Drinfeld Grassmannian $Gr_{G,X^I}$ and to the affine flag variety $Fl_G$.

For any right-angled Artin group $A_{Gamma}$ we construct a finite-dimensional space $mathcal{O}_{Gamma}$ on which the group $text{Out}(A_{Gamma})$ of outer automorphisms of $A_{Gamma}$ acts properly. We prove that $mathcal{O}_{Gamma}$ is contractible, so that the quotient is a rational classifying space for $text{Out}(A_{Gamma})$. The space $mathcal{O}_{Gamma}$ blends features of the symmetric space of lattices in $mathbb{R}^n$ with those of Outer space for the free group $F_n$. Points in $mathcal{O}_{Gamma}$ are locally CAT(0) metric spaces that are homeomorphic (but not isometric) to certain locally CAT(0) cube complexes, marked by an isomorphism of their fundamental group with $A_{Gamma}$.

If q1 and q2 are two coprime bases, f (resp. g) a strongly q1-multiplicative (resp. strongly q2-multiplicative) function of modulus 1 and θ a real number, we estimate the sums ∑ n≤x Λ(n)f(n)g(n) exp(2iπθn) (and ∑ n≤x μ(n)f(n)g(n) exp(2iπθn)), where Λ denotes the von Mangoldt function (and μ the Möbius function). The goal of this work is to introduce a new approach to study these sums involving simultaneously two different bases combining Fourier analysis, Diophantine approximation and combinatorial arguments. We deduce from these estimates a Prime Number Theorem (and Möbius orthogonality) for sequences of integers with digit properties in two coprime bases.

We study fully nonlinear geometric flows that deform strictly $k$-convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space with pointwise normal speed given by a concave function of the principal curvatures. Specifically, the speeds we consider are obtained by performing a nonlinear interpolation between the mean and the $k$-harmonic mean of the principal curvatures. Our main result is a convexity estimate showing that, on compact solutions, regions of high curvature are approximately convex. In contrast to the mean curvature flow, the fully nonlinear flows considered here preserve $k$-convexity in a Riemannian background, and we show that the convexity estimate carries over to this setting as long as the ambient curvature satisfies a natural pinching condition.

We construct a stratified homeomorphism between the space of $ntimes n$ real matrices with real eigenvalues and the space of $ntimes n$ symmetric matrices with real eigenvalues, which restricts to a real analytic isomorphism between individual $GL_n(mathbb R)$-adjoint orbits and $O_n(mathbb C)$-adjoint orbits. We also establish similar results in more general settings of Lie algebras of classical types and quiver varieties. To this end, we prove a general result about involutions on hyper-Kahler quotients of linear spaces. We discuss applications to the (generalized) Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence, singularities of real and symmetric adjoint orbit closures, and Springer theory for real groups and symmetric spaces.

We prove a new integrability principle for gradient variational problems in $mathbb{R}^2$, showing that solutions are explicitly parameterized by $kappa$-harmonic functions, that is, functions which are harmonic for the laplacian with varying conductivity $kappa$, where $kappa$ is the square root of the Hessian determinant of the surface tension.

We improve the upper bound for diagonal Ramsey numbers to [R(k+1,k+1)leexp(-c(log k)^2)binom{2k}{k}] for $kge 3$. To do so, we build on a quasirandomness and induction framework for Ramsey numbers introduced by Thomason and extended by Conlon, demonstrating optimal "effective quasirandomness" results about convergence of graphs. This optimality represents a natural barrier to improvement.
