1. Non-vanishing of geometric Whittaker coefficients for reductive groups

   https://doi.org/10.1090/jams/1051  

   Færgeman, Joakim; Raskin, Sam (April 2025, Journal of the American Mathematical Society)

   We prove that cuspidal automorphic $D$-modules have non-vanishing Whittaker coefficients, generalizing known results in the geometric Langlands program from $G{L}_n$to general reductive groups. The key tool is a microlocal interpretation of Whittaker coefficients. We establish various exactness properties in the geometric Langlands context that may be of independent interest. Specifically, we show Hecke functors are $t$-exact on the category of tempered $D$-modules, strengthening a classical result of Gaitsgory (with different hypotheses) for $G{L}_n$. We also show that Whittaker coefficient functors are $t$-exact for sheaves with nilpotent singular support. An additional consequence of our results is that the tempered, restricted geometric Langlands conjecture must be $t$-exact. We apply our results to show that for suitably irreducible local systems, Whittaker-normalized Hecke eigensheaves are perverse sheaves that are irreducible on each connected component of ${\mathrm{Bun}}_G$.

2. Property G and the 4-genus

   https://doi.org/10.1090/btran/153  

   Ni, Yi (January 2024, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Series B)

   We say a null-homologous knot $K$in a $3$-manifold $Y$has Property G, if the Thurston norm and fiberedness of the complement of $K$is preserved under the zero surgery on $K$. In this paper, we will show that, if the smooth $4$-genus of $K\times <\#comment/>\left\{0\right\}$(in a certain homology class) in $(Y\times <\#comment/>[0,1\left]\right)\mathrm{\#<\#comment/>}N\stackrel{¯<\#comment/>}{\mathbb{C}{P}^2}$, where $Y$is a rational homology sphere, is smaller than the Seifert genus of $K$, then $K$has Property G. When the smooth $4$-genus is $0$, $Y$can be taken to be any closed, oriented $3$-manifold.

3. On the Boundary Behavior of Mass-Minimizing Integral Currents

   https://doi.org/10.1090/memo/1446  

   De_Lellis, Camillo; De_Philippis, Guido; Hirsch, Jonas; Massaccesi, Annalisa (November 2023, Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society)

   Let $\mathrm{\Sigma <\#comment/>}$be a smooth Riemannian manifold, $\mathrm{\Gamma <\#comment/>}\subset <\#comment/>\mathrm{\Sigma <\#comment/>}$a smooth closed oriented submanifold of codimension higher than $2$and $T$an integral area-minimizing current in $\mathrm{\Sigma <\#comment/>}$which bounds $\mathrm{\Gamma <\#comment/>}$. We prove that the set of regular points of $T$at the boundary is dense in $\mathrm{\Gamma <\#comment/>}$. Prior to our theorem the existence of any regular point was not known, except for some special choice of $\mathrm{\Sigma <\#comment/>}$and $\mathrm{\Gamma <\#comment/>}$. As a corollary of our theorem we answer to a question in Almgren’sAlmgren’s big regularity paperfrom 2000 showing that, if $\mathrm{\Gamma <\#comment/>}$is connected, then $T$has at least one point $p$of multiplicity $\frac{1}{2}$, namely there is a neighborhood of the point $p$where $T$is a classical submanifold with boundary $\mathrm{\Gamma <\#comment/>}$; we generalize Almgren’s connectivity theorem showing that the support of $T$is always connected if $\mathrm{\Gamma <\#comment/>}$is connected; we conclude a structural result on $T$when $\mathrm{\Gamma <\#comment/>}$consists of more than one connected component, generalizing a previous theorem proved by Hardt and Simon in 1979 when $\mathrm{\Sigma <\#comment/>}={\mathbb{R}}^{m+1}$and $T$is $m$-dimensional.

4. Simple closed curves in stable covers of surfaces

   https://doi.org/10.1090/tran/8940  

   Salter, Nick (May 2023, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society)

   Let $f:X\to <\#comment/>Y$be a regular covering of a surface $Y$of finite type with nonempty boundary, with finitely-generated (possibly infinite) deck group $G$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integral homology class on $X$to admit a representative as a connected component of the preimage of a nonseparating simple closed curve on $Y$, possibly after passing to a “stabilization”, i.e. a $G$-equivariant embedding of covering spaces $X\hookrightarrow <\#comment/>X^{+}$.

5. Nuclear dimension of graph 𝐶*-algebras with Condition (K)

   https://doi.org/10.1090/proc/16930  

   Faurot, Gregory; Schafhauser, Christopher (October 2024, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society)

   We prove that for any countable directed graph $E$with Condition (K), the associated graph $C^{\ast <\#comment/>}$-algebra $C^{\ast <\#comment/>}\left(E\right)$has nuclear dimension at most $2$. Furthermore, we provide a sufficient condition producing an upper bound of $1$.
