Title: Nonexistence of isoperimetric sets in spaces of positive curvature
Abstract For every d≥3 d\geq 3, we construct a noncompact smooth 𝑑-dimensional Riemannian manifold with strictly positive sectional curvature without isoperimetric sets for any volume below 1.We construct a similar example also for the relative isoperimetric problem in (unbounded) convex sets in Rd \mathbb{R}^{d}.The examples we construct have nondegenerate asymptotic cone.The dimensional constraint d≥3 d\geq 3is sharp.Our examples exhibit nonexistence of isoperimetric sets only for small volumes; indeed, in nonnegatively curved spaces with nondegenerate asymptotic cones, isoperimetric sets with large volumes always exist.This is the first instance of noncollapsed nonnegatively curved space without isoperimetric sets.  more » « less

  1. Abstract We introduce a distributional Jacobian determinant det D⁢Vβ⁢ (D⁢v) \det DV_{\beta}(Dv)in dimension two for the nonlinear complex gradient Vβ⁢ (D⁢v) = |D⁢v| β ⁢ ( vx1 , − vx2 ) V_{\beta}(Dv)=\lvert Dv\rvert^{\beta}(v_{x_{1}},-v_{x_{2}})for any β>−1 \beta>-1, whenever v∈ Wloc1,2 v\in W^{1\smash{,}2}_{\mathrm{loc}}and β⁢ |D⁢v| 1+β ∈ Wloc1,2 \beta\lvert Dv\rvert^{1+\beta}\in W^{1\smash{,}2}_{\mathrm{loc}}.This is new when β≠0 \beta\neq 0.Given any planar ∞-harmonic function 𝑢, we show that such distributional Jacobian determinant det D⁢Vβ⁢ (D⁢u) \det DV_{\beta}(Du)is a nonnegative Radon measure with some quantitative local lower and upper bounds.We also give the following two applications. Applying this result with β=0 \beta=0, we develop an approach to build up a Liouville theorem, which improves that of Savin.Precisely, if 𝑢 is an ∞-harmonic function in the whole R2 \mathbb{R}^{2}with lim infR→∞ infc∈R 1R⁢ ⨍ B⁢(0,R) | u⁢(x) −c | ⁢dx <∞ , \liminf_{R\to\infty}\inf_{c\in\mathbb{R}}\frac{1}{R}\barint_{B(0,R)}\lvert u(x)-c\rvert\,dx<\infty,then u= b+a⋅x u=b+a\cdot xfor some b∈R b\in\mathbb{R}and a∈R2 a\in\mathbb{R}^{2}.Denoting by up u_{p}the 𝑝-harmonic function having the same nonconstant boundary condition as 𝑢, we show that det D⁢Vβ⁢ ( D⁢up ) → det D⁢Vβ⁢ (D⁢u) \det DV_{\beta}(Du_{p})\to\det DV_{\beta}(Du)as p→∞ p\to\inftyin the weak-⋆ sense in the space of Radon measure.Recall that Vβ⁢ ( D⁢up ) V_{\beta}(Du_{p})is always quasiregular mappings, but Vβ⁢ (D⁢u) V_{\beta}(Du)is not in general.

  2. Abstract In this article, we study the K-moduli space of Fano threefolds obtained by blowing up P3 \mathbb{P}^{3}along (2,3) (2,3)-complete intersection curves.This K-moduli space is a two-step birational modification of the GIT moduli space of bidegree (3,3) (3,3)-curves on P1×P1 \mathbb{P}^{1}\times\mathbb{P}^{1}.As an application, we show that our K-moduli space appears as one model of the Hassett–Keel program for M̄4 \overline{M}_{4}.In particular, we classify all K-(semi/poly)stable members in this deformation family of Fano varieties.We follow the moduli continuity method with moduli of lattice-polarized K3 surfaces, general elephants and Sarkisov links as new ingredients.

  3. Abstract Let 𝜋 and π′ \pi^{\prime}be cuspidal automorphic representations of GL⁢(n) \mathrm{GL}(n)and GL⁢(n′) \mathrm{GL}(n^{\prime})with unitary central characters.We establish a new zero-free region for all GL⁢(1) \mathrm{GL}(1)-twists of the Rankin–Selberg 𝐿-function L⁢ (s,π×π′) L(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime}), generalizing Siegel’s celebrated work on Dirichlet 𝐿-functions.As an application, we prove the first unconditional Siegel–Walfisz theorem for the Dirichlet coefficients of − L′⁢ (s,π×π′) /L ⁢ (s,π×π′) -L^{\prime}(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime})/L(s,\pi\times\pi^{\prime}).Also, for n≤8 n\leq 8, we extend the region of holomorphy and nonvanishing for the twisted symmetric power 𝐿-functions L⁢(s,π,Symn⊗χ) L(s,\pi,\mathrm{Sym}^{n}\otimes\chi)of any cuspidal automorphic representation of GL⁢(2) \mathrm{GL}(2).

  4. Abstract We study the family of irreducible modules for quantum affine 𝔰⁢ 𝔩n+1 {\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1}}whose Drinfeld polynomials are supported on just one node of the Dynkin diagram. We identify all the prime modules in this family and prove a unique factorization theorem. The Drinfeld polynomials of the prime modules encode information coming from the points of reducibility of tensor products of the fundamental modules associated to Am {A_{m}}with m≤n {m\leq n}. These prime modules are a special class of the snake modules studied by Mukhin and Young. We relate our modules to the work of Hernandez and Leclerc and define generalizations of the category 𝒞- {\mathscr{C}^{-}}. This leads naturally to the notion of an inflation of the corresponding Grothendieck ring. In the last section we show that the tensor product of a (higher order) Kirillov–Reshetikhin module with its dual always contains an imaginary module in its Jordan–Hölder series and give an explicit formula for its Drinfeld polynomial. Together with the results of [D. Hernandez and B. Leclerc,A cluster algebra approach toq-characters of Kirillov–Reshetikhin modules,J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 18 2016, 5, 1113–1159] this gives examples of a product of cluster variables which are not in the span of cluster monomials. We also discuss the connection of our work with the examples arising from the work of [E. Lapid and A. Mínguez,Geometric conditions for □ \square-irreducibility of certain representations of the general linear group over a non-archimedean local field,Adv. Math. 339 2018, 113–190]. Finally, we use our methods to give a family of imaginary modules in type D4 {D_{4}}which do not arise from an embedding of Ar {A_{r}}with r≤3 {r\leq 3}in D4 {D_{4}}.

  5. Abstract We show that the affine vertex superalgebra Vk⁢ ( o⁢s⁢ p 1|2⁢n ) V^{k}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})at generic level 𝑘 embeds in the equivariant 𝒲-algebra of s⁢ p2⁢n \mathfrak{sp}_{2n}times 4⁢n 4nfree fermions.This has two corollaries:(1) it provides a new proof that, for generic 𝑘, the coset Com⁡ ( Vk⁢ ( s⁢ p2⁢n ) , Vk⁢ ( o⁢s⁢ p 1|2⁢n ) ) \operatorname{Com}(V^{k}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}),V^{k}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}))is isomorphic to Wℓ⁢ ( s⁢ p2⁢n ) \mathcal{W}^{\ell}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})for ℓ= − (n+1) + (k+n+1) / ( 2⁢k+2⁢n+1 ) \ell=-(n+1)+(k+n+1)/(2k+2n+1), and(2) we obtain the decomposition of ordinary Vk⁢ ( o⁢s⁢ p 1|2⁢n ) V^{k}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})-modules into Vk⁢ ( s⁢ p2⁢n ) ⊗Wℓ ⁢ ( s⁢ p2⁢n ) V^{k}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})\otimes\mathcal{W}^{\ell}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})-modules.Next, if 𝑘 is an admissible level and ℓ is a non-degenerate admissible level for s⁢ p2⁢n \mathfrak{sp}_{2n}, we show that the simple algebra Lk⁢ ( o⁢s⁢ p 1|2⁢n ) L_{k}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})is an extension of the simple subalgebra Lk⁢ ( s⁢ p2⁢n ) ⊗Wℓ ⁢ ( s⁢ p2⁢n ) L_{k}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})\otimes{\mathcal{W}}_{\ell}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n}).Using the theory of vertex superalgebra extensions, we prove that the category of ordinary Lk⁢ ( o⁢s⁢ p 1|2⁢n ) L_{k}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})-modules is a semisimple, rigid vertex tensor supercategory with only finitely many inequivalent simple objects.It is equivalent to a certain subcategory of Wℓ⁢ ( s⁢ p2⁢n ) \mathcal{W}_{\ell}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})-modules.A similar result also holds for the category of Ramond twisted modules.Due to a recent theorem of Robert McRae, we get as a corollary that categories of ordinary Lk⁢ ( s⁢ p2⁢n ) L_{k}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})-modules are rigid.
