The affinization morphism for the stack of representations of a preprojective algebra is a local model for the morphism from the stack of objects in a general 2-Calabi–Yau category to the good moduli space. We show that the derived direct image of the dualizing complex along this morphism is pure, and admits a decomposition in the sense of the Beilinson–Bernstein–Deligne–Gabber decomposition theorem.
We introduce a new perverse filtration on the Borel–Moore homology of , using this decomposition. We show that the zeroth piece of the resulting filtration on the cohomological Hall algebra built out of the Borel–Moore homology of is isomorphic to the universal enveloping algebra of an associated BPS Lie algebra . This Lie algebra is defined via the Kontsevich–Soibelman theory of critical cohomological Hall algebras for 3-Calabi–Yau categories. We then lift this Lie algebra to a Lie algebra object in the category of perverse sheaves on the coarse moduli space of -modules, and use this algebra structure to prove results about the summands appearing in the above decomposition theorem. In particular, we prove that the intersection cohomology of singular spaces of semistable -modules provide “cuspidal cohomology” – a conjecturally complete canonical subspace of generators for .

Knutson and Zinn-Justin recently found a puzzle rule for the expansion of the product of two double Grothendieck polynomials indexed by permutations with separated descents. We establish its triple Schubert calculus version in the sense of Knutson and Tao, namely, a formula for expanding in different secondary variables. Our rule is formulated in terms of pipe puzzles, incorporating the structures of both bumpless pipe dreams and classical puzzles. As direct applications, we recover the separated-descent puzzle formula by Knutson and Zinn-Justin (by setting ) and the bumpless pipe dream model of double Grothendieck polynomials by Weigandt (by setting and ). Moreover, we utilize the formula to partially confirm a positivity conjecture of Kirillov about applying a skew operator to a Schubert polynomial.

The local angle property of the (order-1) Delaunay triangulations of a generic set in asserts that the sum of two angles opposite a common edge is less than π. This paper extends this property to higher order and uses it to generalize two classic properties from order-1 to order-2: (1) among the complete level-2 hypertriangulations of a generic point set in , the order-2 Delaunay triangulation lexicographically maximizes the sorted angle vector; (2) among the maximal level-2 hypertriangulations of a generic point set in , the order-2 Delaunay triangulation is the only one that has the local angle property. We also use our method of establishing (2) to give a new short proof of the angle vector optimality for the (order-1) Delaunay triangulation. For order-1, both properties have been instrumental in numerous applications of Delaunay triangulations, and we expect that their generalization will make order-2 Delaunay triangulations more attractive to applications as well.

The prototypical examples of tropical compactifications are compactifications of complements of hyperplane arrangements, which posses a number of remarkable properties not satisfied by more general tropical compactifications of closed subvarieties of tori. We introduce a broader class of tropical compactifications, which we call quasilinear (tropical) compactifications, and which continue to satisfy the desirable properties of compactifications of complements of hyperplane arrangements. In particular, we show any quasilinear compactification is schön, and its intersection theory is described entirely by the intersection theory of the corresponding tropical fan. As applications, we prove the quasilinearity of the moduli spaces of 6 lines in and marked cubic surfaces, obtaining results on the geometry of the stable pair compactifications of these spaces.

The Feigin–Frenkel theorem states that, over the complex numbers, the centre of the universal affine vertex algebra at the critical level is an infinite rank polynomial algebra. The first author and W. Wang observed that in positive characteristics, the universal affine vertex algebra contains a large central subalgebra known as the p-centre. They conjectured that at the critical level the centre should be generated by the Feigin–Frenkel centre and the p-centre. In this paper we prove the conjecture for classical simple Lie algebras for p larger than the Coxeter number, and for exceptional Lie algebras in large characteristics. Finally, we give an example which shows that at non-critical level the center is larger than the p-centre.

In [18], Külshammer, König and Ovsienko proved that for any quasi-hereditary algebra there exists a Morita equivalent quasi-hereditary algebra containing a basic exact Borel subalgebra B. The Borel subalgebra B constructed in [18] is in fact a regular exact Borel subalgebra as defined in [7]. Later, Conde [9] showed that given a quasi-hereditary algebra with a basic regular exact Borel subalgebra B and a Morita equivalent quasi-hereditary algebra with a basic regular exact Borel subalgebra , the algebras R and are isomorphic, and Külshammer and Miemietz [20] showed that there is even an isomorphism such that .
In this article, we show that if , then φ can be chosen to be an inner automorphism. Moreover, instead of just proving this for regular exact Borel subalgebras of quasi-hereditary algebras, we generalize this to an appropriate class of subalgebras of arbitrary finite-dimensional algebras. As an application, we show that if is a finite-dimensional algebra and G is a finite group acting on A via automorphisms, then under some natural compatibility conditions, there is a Morita equivalent quasi-hereditary algebra with a basic regular exact Borel subalgebra B such that for every .

The Cohn-Elkies linear program for sphere packing, which was used to solve the 8 and 24 dimensional cases, is conjectured to not be sharp in any other dimension . By mapping feasible points of this infinite-dimensional linear program into a finite-dimensional problem via discrete reduction, we provide a general method to obtain dual bounds on the Cohn-Elkies linear program. This reduces the number of variables to be finite, enabling computer optimization techniques to be applied. Using this method, we prove that the Cohn-Elkies bound cannot come close to the best packing densities known in dimensions except for the solved case . In particular, our dual bounds show the Cohn-Elkies bound is unable to solve the 3, 4, and 5 dimensional sphere packing problems.

We complete the program, initiated in [8], to compare the many different possible definitions of the underlying homotopy type of a log scheme. We show that, up to profinite completion, they all yield the same result, and thus arrive at an unambiguous definition of the profinite homotopy type of a log scheme. Specifically, in [8], we define this to be the profinite étale homotopy type of the infinite root stack, and show that, over , this agrees up to profinite completion with the Kato-Nakayama space. Other possible candidates are the profinite shape of the Kummer étale site , or of the representable étale site of . Our main result is that all of these notions agree, and moreover the profinite étale homotopy type of the infinite root stack is not sensitive to whether or not it is viewed as a pro-system in stacks, or as an actual stack (by taking the limit of the pro-system). We furthermore show that in the log regular setting, all these notions also agree with the étale homotopy type of the classical locus (up to an appropriate completion). We deduce that, over an arbitrary locally Noetherian base, the étale homotopy type of agrees with that of up to completion.

We furthermore show that in the log regular setting, all these notions also agree with the étale homotopy type of the classical locus <span><math><msup><mrow><mi>X</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>triv</mi></mrow></msup></math></span> (up to an appropriate completion). We deduce that, over an arbitrary locally Noetherian base, the étale homotopy type of <span><math><msubsup><mrow><mi>G</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>m</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>N</mi></mrow></msubsup></math></span> agrees with that of <span><math><mi>B</mi><msubsup><mrow><mi>μ</mi></mrow><mrow><mo>∞</mo></mrow><mrow><mi>N</mi></mrow></msubsup></math></span> up to completion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50860,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Mathematics","volume":"460 ","pages":"Article 110018"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142723192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
