This paper provides a construction of the Drinfeld coproduct $Delta_v$ on an affine quantum Kac–Moody algebra or on a quantum affinization $mathcal{U}$ through the exponentials of some locally nilpotent derivations, thus proving that this “coproduct” with values in a suitable completion of $mathcal{U} oplus mathcal{U}$ is well defined. For the affine quantum algebras, $Delta_v$ is also obtained as “$t$-equivariant limit” of the Drinfeld–Jimbo coproduct $Delta$.

Let $Sigma$ denote the prismatization of $operatorname{Spf}:mathbb{Z}_p$. The multiplicative group over $Sigma$ maps to the prismatization of $mathbb{G}_m times operatorname{Spf}:mathbb{Z}_p$. We prove that the kernel of this map is the Cartier dual of some $1$-dimensional formal group over $Sigma$. We obtain some results about this formal group (e.g., we describe its Lie algebra). We give a very explicit description of the pullback of the formal group to the quotient stack $Q/mathbb{Z}^times_p$, where $Q$ is the $q$-de Rham prism.

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group defined over $mathbb{C}$ and let $e$ be a rigid nilpotent element in $g = operatorname{Lie} (G)$. In this paper we prove that the finite $W$-algebra $U(mathfrak{g}, e)$ admits either one or two $1$-dimensional representations. Thanks to the results obtained earlier this boils down to showing that the finite $W$-algebras associated with the rigid nilpotent orbits of dimension 202 in the Lie algebras of type $E_8$ admit exactly two 1‑dimensional representations. As a corollary, we complete the description of the multiplicity-free primitive ideals of $U(mathfrak{g})$ associated with the rigid nilpotent $G$-orbits of $mathfrak{g}$. At the end of the paper, we apply our results to enumerate the small irreducible representations of the related reduced enveloping algebras.

We prove general Dwork-type congruences for Hasse–Witt matrices attached to tuples of Laurent polynomials.We apply this result to establishing arithmetic and p-adic analytic properties of functions originating from polynomial solutions modulo $p^s$ of Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov (KZ) equations, the solutions which come as coefficients of master polynomials and whose coefficients are integers. As an application we show that the $p$-adic KZ connection associated with the family of hyperelliptic curves $y^2 = (t - z_1) dotsc (t - z_{2g+1})$ has an invariant subbundle of rank $g$. Notice that the corresponding complex KZ connection has no nontrivial subbundles due to the irreducibility of its monodromy representation.

A standard monomial theory for Schubert varieties is constructed exploiting (1) the geometry of the Seshadri stratifications of Schubert varieties by their Schubert subvarieties and (2) the combinatorial LS‑path character formula for Demazure modules. The general theory of Seshadri stratifications is improved by using arbitrary linearization of the partial order and by weakening the definition of balanced stratification.

We consider a series of related invariants for $N subset M$, generically called paving size.

We establish a relationship between a certain notion of covering complexity of a Riemannian spin manifold and positive lower bounds on its scalar curvature. This makes use of a pairing between quantitative operator $K$-theory and Lipschitz topological $K$-theory, combined with an earlier vanishing theorem for the quantitative higher index.

In this article, we celebrate the 80th birthday and remarkable career of H. Blaine Lawson, Jr. For more than half a century, Lawson has been a leading figure in mathematics. His work, a masterful combination of differential geometry, topology, algebraic geometry and analysis, has been enormously influential. He has made numerous fundamental contributions to diverse areas involving these subjects. He can be seen as a true “Renaissance man,” combining profound mathematical insight with a remarkable talent for expressing his discoveries with elegance and clarity. Roughly speaking, Lawson has changed the focus of his research every 10 to 15 years, in each instance, illuminating new fields of study with his unique insight and perspective. In the narrative that follows, we will endeavor, albeit with notable omissions, to showcase his most significant achievements. The order of presentation is essentially chronological. We will conclude with a concise overview of his highly influential expository work.

$defspinc{operatorname{spin}^mathrm{c}}$We give a 1965 era proof of the title assuming $M$ is $spinc$. The fact that any oriented four manifold is $spinc$ is a challenging result from 1995 whose interesting argument by Teichner–Vogt is analyzed and used in the appendix to show an analogous integral lift result about the top Wu class in $dim 4k$. This will be used in future work to study related complex structures on higher dimensional open manifolds.
