1. Algebraic cobordism and a Conner–Floyd isomorphism for algebraic K-theory

   https://doi.org/10.1090/jams/1045  

   Annala, Toni; Hoyois, Marc; Iwasa, Ryomei (March 2024, Journal of the American Mathematical Society)

   We formulate and prove a Conner–Floyd isomorphism for the algebraic K-theory of arbitrary qcqs derived schemes. To that end, we study a stable $\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}$-category of non- ${\mathbb{A}}^1$-invariant motivic spectra, which turns out to be equivalent to the $\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}$-category of fundamental motivic spectra satisfying elementary blowup excision, previously introduced by the first and third authors. We prove that this $\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}$-category satisfies ${\mathbb{P}}^1$-homotopy invariance and weighted ${\mathbb{A}}^1$-homotopy invariance, which we use in place of ${\mathbb{A}}^1$-homotopy invariance to obtain analogues of several key results from ${\mathbb{A}}^1$-homotopy theory. These allow us in particular to define a universal oriented motivic ${\mathbb{E}}_{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$-ring spectrum $\mathrm{M}\mathrm{G}\mathrm{L}$. We then prove that the algebraic K-theory of a qcqs derived scheme $X$can be recovered from its $\mathrm{M}\mathrm{G}\mathrm{L}$-cohomology via a Conner–Floyd isomorphism\[ ${\mathrm{M}\mathrm{G}\mathrm{L}}^{\ast <\#comment/>\ast <\#comment/>}\left(X\right){\otimes <\#comment/>}_{\mathrm{L}}\mathbb{Z}\left[{\mathrm{\beta <\#comment/>}}^{\pm <\#comment/>1}\right]\simeq <\#comment/>\mathrm{K}{}^{\ast <\#comment/>\ast <\#comment/>}\left(X\right),$\]where $\mathrm{L}$is the Lazard ring and $\mathrm{K}{}^{p,q}\left(X\right)=\mathrm{K}{}_{2q-<\#comment/>p}\left(X\right)$. Finally, we prove a Snaith theorem for the periodized version of $\mathrm{M}\mathrm{G}\mathrm{L}$.

2. Sums of linear transformations

   https://doi.org/10.1090/tran/9433  

   Conlon, David; Lim, Jeck (July 2025, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society)

   We show that if ${\mathcal{L}}_1$and ${\mathcal{L}}_2$are linear transformations from ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$to ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$satisfying certain mild conditions, then, for any finite subset $A$of ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$, $|{\mathcal{L}}_{1}A+{\mathcal{L}}_{2}A|\ge <\#comment/>{(|det({\mathcal{L}}_1){|}^{1/d}+|det({\mathcal{L}}_2\left){|}^{1/d}\right)}^d|A|-<\#comment/>o\left(|A|\right).$This result corrects and confirms the two-summand case of a conjecture of Bukh and is best possible up to the lower-order term for certain choices of ${\mathcal{L}}_1$and ${\mathcal{L}}_2$. As an application, we prove a lower bound for $|A+\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}\cdot <\#comment/>A|$when $A$is a finite set of real numbers and $\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}$is an algebraic number. In particular, when $\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}$is of the form $(p/q{)}^{1/d}$for some $p,q,d\in <\#comment/>\mathbb{N}$, each taken as small as possible for such a representation, we show that $|A+\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}\cdot <\#comment/>A|\ge <\#comment/>(p^{1/d}+q^{1/d}{)}^d|A|-<\#comment/>o(|A|).$This is again best possible up to the lower-order term and extends a recent result of Krachun and Petrov which treated the case $\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}=\sqrt{2}$.

3. On the Size of the Singular Set of Minimizing Harmonic Maps

   https://doi.org/10.1090/memo/1519  

   Mazowiecka, Katarzyna; Miśkiewicz, Michał; Schikorra, Armin (October 2024, Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society)

   We consider minimizing harmonic maps $u$from $\mathrm{\Omega <\#comment/>}\subset <\#comment/>{\mathbb{R}}^n$into a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$and prove: 1. an extension to $n\ge <\#comment/>4$of Almgren and Lieb’s linear law. That is, if the fundamental group of the target manifold $\mathcal{N}$is finite, we have\[ ${\mathcal{H}}^{n-<\#comment/>3}(\mathrm{sing}<\#comment/>u)\le <\#comment/>C{\int <\#comment/>}_{\mathrm{\partial <\#comment/>}\mathrm{\Omega <\#comment/>}}|{\mathrm{\nabla <\#comment/>}}_{T}u{|}^{n-<\#comment/>1}\mathrm{d}{\mathcal{H}}^{n-<\#comment/>1};$\]2. an extension of Hardt and Lin’s stability theorem. Namely, assuming that the target manifold is $\mathcal{N}={\mathbb{S}}^2$we obtain that the singular set of $u$is stable under small $W^{1,n-<\#comment/>1}$-perturbations of the boundary data. In dimension $n=3$both results are shown to hold with weaker hypotheses, i.e., only assuming that the trace of our map lies in the fractional space $W^{s,p}$with $s\in <\#comment/>(\frac{1}{2},1]$and $p\in <\#comment/>[2,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>})$satisfying $sp\ge <\#comment/>2$. We also discuss sharpness.

4. Braid group action and quasi-split affine 𝚤quantum groups I

   https://doi.org/10.1090/ert/657  

   Lu, Ming; Wang, Weiqiang; Zhang, Weinan (October 2023, Representation Theory of the American Mathematical Society)

   This is the first of our papers on quasi-split affine quantum symmetric pairs $(\stackrel{~<\#comment/>}{\mathbf{U}}\left(\stackrel{^<\#comment/>}{\mathfrak{g}}\right),{\stackrel{~<\#comment/>}{\mathbf{U}}}^{\mathrm{ı<\#comment/>}})$, focusing on the real rank one case, i.e., $\mathfrak{g}={\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}}_3$equipped with a diagram involution. We construct explicitly a relative braid group action of type $A_2^{\left(2\right)}$on the affine $\mathrm{ı<\#comment/>}$quantum group ${\stackrel{~<\#comment/>}{\mathbf{U}}}^{\mathrm{ı<\#comment/>}}$. Real and imaginary root vectors for ${\stackrel{~<\#comment/>}{\mathbf{U}}}^{\mathrm{ı<\#comment/>}}$are constructed, and a Drinfeld type presentation of ${\stackrel{~<\#comment/>}{\mathbf{U}}}^{\mathrm{ı<\#comment/>}}$is then established. This provides a new basic ingredient for the Drinfeld type presentation of higher rank quasi-split affine $\mathrm{ı<\#comment/>}$quantum groups in the sequels.

5. The best constant for 𝐿^{∞}-type Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities

   https://doi.org/10.1090/qam/1645  

   Liu, Jian-Guo; Wang, Jinhuan (June 2024, Quarterly of Applied Mathematics)

   In this paper we derive the best constant for the following $L^{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$-type Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequality $\Vert <\#comment/>u{\Vert <\#comment/>}_{L^{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}}\le <\#comment/>C_{q,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>},p}\Vert <\#comment/>u{\Vert <\#comment/>}_{L^{q+1}}^{1-<\#comment/>\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}}\Vert <\#comment/>\mathrm{\nabla <\#comment/>}u{\Vert <\#comment/>}_{L^p}^{\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}},\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}=\frac{pd}{dp+(p-<\#comment/>d)(q+1)},$where parameters $q$and $p$satisfy the conditions $p>d\ge <\#comment/>1$, $q\ge <\#comment/>0$. The best constant $C_{q,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>},p}$is given by $C_{q,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>},p}={\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}}^{-<\#comment/>\frac{\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}}{p}}(1-<\#comment/>\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}{)}^{\frac{\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}}{p}}{M}_c^{-<\#comment/>\frac{\mathrm{\theta <\#comment/>}}{d}},M_c≔{\int <\#comment/>}_{{\mathbb{R}}^d}{u}_{c,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}^{q+1}dx,$where $u_{c,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$is the unique radial non-increasing solution to a generalized Lane-Emden equation. The case of equality holds when $u=A{u}_{c,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}\left(\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}\right(x-<\#comment/>x_0\left)\right)$for any real numbers $A$, $\mathrm{\lambda <\#comment/>}>0$and $x_0\in <\#comment/>{\mathbb{R}}^d$. In fact, the generalized Lane-Emden equation in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$contains a delta function as a source and it is a Thomas-Fermi type equation. For $q=0$or $d=1$, $u_{c,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$have closed form solutions expressed in terms of the incomplete Beta functions. Moreover, we show that $u_{c,m}\to <\#comment/>u_{c,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$and $C_{q,m,p}\to <\#comment/>C_{q,\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>},p}$as $m\to <\#comment/>+\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}$for $d=1$, where $u_{c,m}$and $C_{q,m,p}$are the function achieving equality and the best constant of $L^m$-type Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequality, respectively.
