1. Integral models for spaces via the higher Frobenius

   https://doi.org/10.1090/jams/998  

   Yuan, Allen (January 2023, Journal of the American Mathematical Society)

   We give a fully faithful integral model for simply connected finite complexes in terms of ${\mathbb{E}}_{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$-ring spectra and the Nikolaus–Scholze Frobenius. The key technical input is the development of a homotopy coherent Frobenius action on a certain subcategory of $p$-complete ${\mathbb{E}}_{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$-rings for each prime $p$. Using this, we show that the data of a simply connected finite complex $X$is the data of its Spanier-Whitehead dual, as an ${\mathbb{E}}_{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$-ring, together with a trivialization of the Frobenius action after completion at each prime. In producing the above Frobenius action, we explore two ideas which may be of independent interest. The first is a more general action of Frobenius in equivariant homotopy theory; we show that a version of Quillen’s $Q$-construction acts on the $\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}$-category of ${\mathbb{E}}_{\mathrm{\infty <\#comment/>}}$-rings with “genuine equivariant multiplication,” which we call global algebras. The second is a “pre-group-completed” variant of algebraic $K$-theory which we callpartial $K$-theory. We develop the notion of partial $K$-theory and give a computation of the partial $K$-theory of ${\mathbb{F}}_p$up to $p$-completion.

2. Rigidity of nonpositively curved manifolds with convex boundary

   https://doi.org/10.1090/proc/16475  

   Ghomi, Mohammad; Spruck, Joel (November 2023, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society)

   We show that a compact Riemannian $3$-manifold $M$with strictly convex simply connected boundary and sectional curvature $K\le <\#comment/>a\le <\#comment/>0$is isometric to a convex domain in a complete simply connected space of constant curvature $a$, provided that $K\equiv <\#comment/>a$on planes tangent to the boundary of $M$. This yields a characterization of strictly convex surfaces with minimal total curvature in Cartan-Hadamard $3$-manifolds, and extends some rigidity results of Greene-Wu, Gromov, and Schroeder-Strake. Our proof is based on a recent comparison formula for total curvature of Riemannian hypersurfaces, which also yields some dual results for $K\ge <\#comment/>a\ge <\#comment/>0$.

3. Residual intersections and linear powers

   https://doi.org/10.1090/btran/127  

   Eisenbud, David; Huneke, Craig; Ulrich, Bernd (October 2023, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Series B)

   If $I$is an ideal in a Gorenstein ring $S$, and $S/I$is Cohen-Macaulay, then the same is true for any linked ideal $I^{\prime }$; but such statements hold for residual intersections of higher codimension only under restrictive hypotheses, not satisfied even by ideals as simple as the ideal $L_n$of minors of a generic $2\times <\#comment/>n$matrix when $n>3$. In this paper we initiate the study of a different sort of Cohen-Macaulay property that holds for certain general residual intersections of the maximal (interesting) codimension, one less than the analytic spread of $I$. For example, suppose that $K$is the residual intersection of $L_n$by $2n-<\#comment/>4$general quadratic forms in $L_n$. In this situation we analyze $S/K$and show that $I^{n-<\#comment/>3}\left(S/K\right)$is a self-dual maximal Cohen-Macaulay $S/K$-module with linear free resolution over $S$. The technical heart of the paper is a result about ideals of analytic spread 1 whose high powers are linearly presented.

4. Infinite sumsets in sets with positive density

   https://doi.org/10.1090/jams/1030  

   Kra, Bryna; Moreira, Joel; Richter, Florian; Robertson, Donald (August 2023, Journal of the American Mathematical Society)

   Motivated by questions asked by Erdős, we prove that any set $A\subset <\#comment/>\mathbb{N}$with positive upper density contains, for any $k\in <\#comment/>\mathbb{N}$, a sumset $B_1+\cdots <\#comment/>+B_k$, where $B_1$, …, $B_k\subset <\#comment/>\mathbb{N}$are infinite. Our proof uses ergodic theory and relies on structural results for measure preserving systems. Our techniques are new, even for the previously known case of $k=2$.

5. 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.
