In previous work, we have presented evidence from numerical simulations that the Type-II singularities of mean curvature flow (MCF) of rotationally symmetric, complete, noncompact embedded hypersurfaces, constructed by the second and the fourth authors of this paper, are stable. In this work, we again use numerical simulations to show that MCF subject to initial perturbations that are not rotationally symmetric behaves asymptotically like it does for rotationally symmetric perturbations. In particular, if we impose sinusoidal angular dependence on the initial embeddings, we find that for perturbations near the tip, evolutions by MCF asymptotically lose their angular dependence—becoming round—and develop Type-II bowl soliton singularities. As well, if we impose sinusoidal angular dependence on the initial embeddings for perturbations sufficiently far from the tip, the angular dependence again disappears as Type-I neckpinch singularities develop. The numerical analysis carried out in this paper is an adaptation of the “overlap” method introduced in our previous work and permits angular dependence.

. We obtain new calculations of the top weight rational cohomology of the moduli spaces M 2 ,n , equivalently the rational homology of the tropical moduli spaces ∆ 2 ,n , as a representation of S n . These calculations are achieved fully for all n ≤ 10, and partially—for specific irreducible representations of S n —for n ≤ 22. We also present conjectures, verified up to n = 22, for the multiplicities of the irreducible representations std n and std n ⊗ sgn n . We achieve our calculations via a comparison with the homology of compactified configuration spaces of graphs. These homology groups are equipped with commuting actions of a symmetric group and the outer automorphism group of a free group. In this paper, we con-struct an efficient free resolution for these homology representations. Using the Peter-Weyl Theorem for symmetric groups, we consider irreducible representations individually, vastly simplifying the calculation of these homology representations from the free resolution.

Aperiodic substitution tilings provide popular models for quasicrystals, materials exhibiting aperiodic order. We study the graph Laplacian associated with four tilings from the mutual local derivability class of the Penrose tiling, as well as the Ammann–Beenker tiling. In each case we exhibit locally-supported eigenfunctions, which necessarily cause jump discontinuities in the integrated density of states for these models. By bounding the multiplicities of these locally-supported modes, in several cases we provide concrete lower bounds on this jump. These results suggest a host of questions about spectral properties of the Laplacian on aperiodic tilings, which we collect at the end of the paper.

Self-dual configurations of 2n points in a projective space of dimension n-1 were studied by Coble, Dolgachev-Ortland, and Eisenbud-Popescu. We examine the self-dual matroids and self-dual valuated matroids defined by such configurations, with a focus on those arising from hyperplane sections of canonical curves. These objects are parametrized by the self-dual Grassmannian and its tropicalization. We tabulate all self-dual matroids up to rank 5 and investigate their realization spaces. Following Bath, Mukai, and Petrakiev, we explore algorithms for recovering a curve from the configuration. A detailed analysis is given for self-dual matroids arising from graph curves.

We study constructing an algebraic curve from a Riemann surface given via a translation surface, which is a collection of finitely many polygons in the plane with sides identified by translation. We use the theory of discrete Riemann surfaces to give an algorithm for approximating the Jacobian variety of a translation surface whose polygon can be decomposed into squares. We first implement the algorithm in the case of $L$ shaped polygons where the algebraic curve is already known. The algorithm is also implemented in any genus for specific examples of Jenkins-Strebel representatives, a dense family of translation surfaces that, until now, lived squarely on the analytic side of the transcendental divide between Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves. Using Riemann theta functions, we give numerical experiments and resulting conjectures up to genus 5.

Abstract If , k a field, is a standard graded algebra, then the Hilbert series of R is the formal power series . It is known already since Macaulay which power series are Hilbert series of graded algebras. A much harder question is which series are Hilbert series if we fix the number of generators of I and their degrees, say for ideals , . In some sense “most” ideals with fixed degrees of their generators have the same Hilbert series. There is a conjecture for the Hilbert series of those “generic” ideals, see below. In this article we make a conjecture, and prove it in some cases, in the case of generic ideals of fixed degrees in the coordinate ring of , which might be easier to prove.

We consider the problem of explicitly computing Beilinson--Bloch heights of homologically trivial cycles on varieties defined over number fields. Recent results have established a congruence, up to the rational span of logarithms of primes, between the height of certain limit mixed Hodge structures and certain Beilinson--Bloch heights obtained from odd-dimensional hypersurfaces with a node. This congruence suggests a new method to compute Beilinson--Bloch heights. Here we explain how to compute the relevant limit mixed Hodge structures in practice, then apply our computational method to a nodal quartic curve and a nodal cubic threefold. In both cases, we explain the nature of the primes occurring in the congruence.

We study several explicit finite index subgroups in the known complex hyperbolic lattice triangle groups, and show some of them are neat, some of them have positive first Betti number, some of them have a homomorphisms onto a non-Abelian free group. For some lattice triangle groups, we determine the minimal index of a neat subgroup. Finally, we answer a question raised by Stover and describe an infinite tower of neat ball quotients all with a single cusp.
