   Abstract LetXbe a compact normal complex space of dimensionnandLbe a holomorphic line bundle onX. Suppose that$$\Sigma =(\Sigma _1,\ldots ,\Sigma _\ell )$$ $\Sigma =({\Sigma }_1,\dots ,{\Sigma }_{\ell })$is an$$\ell $$ $\ell$-tuple of distinct irreducible proper analytic subsets ofX,$$\tau =(\tau _1,\ldots ,\tau _\ell )$$ $\tau =({\tau }_1,\dots ,{\tau }_{\ell })$is an$$\ell $$ $\ell$-tuple of positive real numbers, and let$$H^0_0(X,L^p)$$ $H_0^0(X,L^p)$be the space of holomorphic sections of$$L^p:=L^{\otimes p}$$ $L^p:=L^{\otimes p}$that vanish to order at least$$\tau _jp$$ ${\tau }_{j}p$along$$\Sigma _j$$ ${\Sigma }_j$,$$1\le j\le \ell $$ $1\le j\le \ell$. If$$Y\subset X$$ $Y\subset X$is an irreducible analytic subset of dimensionm, we consider the space$$H^0_0 (X|Y, L^p)$$ $H_0^0\left(X\right|Y,L^p)$of holomorphic sections of$$L^p|_Y$$ $L^p{|}_Y$that extend to global holomorphic sections in$$H^0_0(X,L^p)$$ $H_0^0(X,L^p)$. Assuming that the triplet$$(L,\Sigma ,\tau )$$ $(L,\Sigma ,\tau )$is big in the sense that$$\dim H^0_0(X,L^p)\sim p^n$$ $dim{H}_0^0(X,L^p)\sim p^n$, we give a general condition onYto ensure that$$\dim H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)\sim p^m$$ $dim{H}_0^0\left(X\right|Y,L^p)\sim p^m$. WhenLis endowed with a continuous Hermitian metric, we show that the Fubini-Study currents of the spaces$$H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)$$ $H_0^0\left(X\right|Y,L^p)$converge to a certain equilibrium current onY. We apply this to the study of the equidistribution of zeros inYof random holomorphic sections in$$H^0_0(X|Y,L^p)$$ $H_0^0\left(X\right|Y,L^p)$as$$p\rightarrow \infty $$ $p\to \infty$.

2. Measurement of the mass dependence of the transverse momentum of lepton pairs in Drell–Yan production in proton–proton collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 13\,\text {Te\hspace{-.08em}V} $$

   https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-023-11631-7  

   Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Andrejkovic, J. W.; Bergauer, T.; Chatterjee, S.; Dragicevic, M.; Valle, A. Escalante; Frühwirth, R.; Jeitler, M.; Krammer, N.; et al (July 2023, The European Physical Journal C)

   Abstract The double differential cross sections of the Drell–Yan lepton pair ($$\ell ^+\ell ^-$$ ${\ell }^{+}{\ell }^{-}$, dielectron or dimuon) production are measured as functions of the invariant mass$$m_{\ell \ell }$$ $m_{\ell \ell }$, transverse momentum$$p_{\textrm{T}} (\ell \ell )$$ $p_{\text{T}}\left(\ell \ell \right)$, and$$\varphi ^{*}_{\eta }$$ ${\phi }_{\eta }^{\ast }$. The$$\varphi ^{*}_{\eta }$$ ${\phi }_{\eta }^{\ast }$observable, derived from angular measurements of the leptons and highly correlated with$$p_{\textrm{T}} (\ell \ell )$$ $p_{\text{T}}\left(\ell \ell \right)$, is used to probe the low-$$p_{\textrm{T}} (\ell \ell )$$ $p_{\text{T}}\left(\ell \ell \right)$region in a complementary way. Dilepton masses up to 1$$\,\text {Te\hspace{-.08em}V}$$ $\text{Te}\text{V}$are investigated. Additionally, a measurement is performed requiring at least one jet in the final state. To benefit from partial cancellation of the systematic uncertainty, the ratios of the differential cross sections for various$$m_{\ell \ell }$$ $m_{\ell \ell }$ranges to those in the Z mass peak interval are presented. The collected data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36.3$$\,\text {fb}^{-1}$$ ${\text{fb}}^{-1}$of proton–proton collisions recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13$$\,\text {Te\hspace{-.08em}V}$$ $\text{Te}\text{V}$. Measurements are compared with predictions based on perturbative quantum chromodynamics, including soft-gluon resummation.

3. VC-Dimension of Hyperplanes Over Finite Fields

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00373-025-02909-6  

   Ascoli, Ruben; Betti, Livia; Cheigh, Justin; Iosevich, Alex; Jeong, Ryan; Liu, Xuyan; McDonald, Brian; Milgrim, Wyatt; Miller, Steven_J; Romero_Acosta, Francisco; et al (March 2025, Graphs and Combinatorics)

   Abstract Let$$\mathbb {F}_q^d$$ $F_q^d$be thed-dimensional vector space over the finite field withqelements. For a subset$$E\subseteq \mathbb {F}_q^d$$ $E\subseteq F_q^d$and a fixed nonzero$$t\in \mathbb {F}_q$$ $t\in F_q$, let$$\mathcal {H}_t(E)=\{h_y: y\in E\}$$ $H_t\left(E\right)=\{h_y:y\in E\}$, where$$h_y:E\rightarrow \{0,1\}$$ $h_y:E\to \{0,1\}$is the indicator function of the set$$\{x\in E: x\cdot y=t\}$$ $\{x\in E:x·y=t\}$. Two of the authors, with Maxwell Sun, showed in the case$$d=3$$ $d=3$that if$$|E|\ge Cq^{\frac{11}{4}}$$ $\left|E\right|\ge C{q}^{\frac{11}{4}}$andqis sufficiently large, then the VC-dimension of$$\mathcal {H}_t(E)$$ $H_t\left(E\right)$is 3. In this paper, we generalize the result to arbitrary dimension by showing that the VC-dimension of$$\mathcal {H}_t(E)$$ $H_t\left(E\right)$isdwhenever$$E\subseteq \mathbb {F}_q^d$$ $E\subseteq F_q^d$with$$|E|\ge C_d q^{d-\frac{1}{d-1}}$$ $\left|E\right|\ge C_d{q}^{d-\frac{1}{d-1}}$.

4. Spherical convex hull of random points on a wedge

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00208-023-02704-9  

   Besau, Florian; Gusakova, Anna; Reitzner, Matthias; Schütt, Carsten; Thäle, Christoph; Werner, Elisabeth_M (August 2023, Mathematische Annalen)

   Abstract Consider two half-spaces$$H_1^+$$ $H_1^{+}$and$$H_2^+$$ $H_2^{+}$in$${\mathbb {R}}^{d+1}$$ $R^{d+1}$whose bounding hyperplanes$$H_1$$ $H_1$and$$H_2$$ $H_2$are orthogonal and pass through the origin. The intersection$${\mathbb {S}}_{2,+}^d:={\mathbb {S}}^d\cap H_1^+\cap H_2^+$$ $S_{2,+}^d:=S^d\cap H_1^{+}\cap H_2^{+}$is a spherical convex subset of thed-dimensional unit sphere$${\mathbb {S}}^d$$ $S^d$, which contains a great subsphere of dimension$$d-2$$ $d-2$and is called a spherical wedge. Choosenindependent random points uniformly at random on$${\mathbb {S}}_{2,+}^d$$ $S_{2,+}^d$and consider the expected facet number of the spherical convex hull of these points. It is shown that, up to terms of lower order, this expectation grows like a constant multiple of$$\log n$$ $logn$. A similar behaviour is obtained for the expected facet number of a homogeneous Poisson point process on$${\mathbb {S}}_{2,+}^d$$ $S_{2,+}^d$. The result is compared to the corresponding behaviour of classical Euclidean random polytopes and of spherical random polytopes on a half-sphere.

5. Abelian varieties of prescribed order over finite fields

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00208-024-03084-4

   Abstract Given a prime powerqand$$n \gg 1$$ $n\gg 1$, we prove that every integer in a large subinterval of the Hasse–Weil interval$$[(\sqrt{q}-1)^{2n},(\sqrt{q}+1)^{2n}]$$ $[{(\sqrt{q}-1)}^{2n},{(\sqrt{q}+1)}^{2n}]$is$$\#A({\mathbb {F}}_q)$$ $\#A\left(F_q\right)$for some ordinary geometrically simple principally polarized abelian varietyAof dimensionnover$${\mathbb {F}}_q$$ $F_q$. As a consequence, we generalize a result of Howe and Kedlaya for$${\mathbb {F}}_2$$ $F_2$to show that for each prime powerq, every sufficiently large positive integer is realizable, i.e.,$$\#A({\mathbb {F}}_q)$$ $\#A\left(F_q\right)$for some abelian varietyAover$${\mathbb {F}}_q$$ $F_q$. Our result also improves upon the best known constructions of sequences of simple abelian varieties with point counts towards the extremes of the Hasse–Weil interval. A separate argument determines, for fixedn, the largest subinterval of the Hasse–Weil interval consisting of realizable integers, asymptotically as$$q \rightarrow \infty $$ $q\to \infty$; this gives an asymptotically optimal improvement of a 1998 theorem of DiPippo and Howe. Our methods are effective: We prove that if$$q \le 5$$ $q\le 5$, then every positive integer is realizable, and for arbitraryq, every positive integer$$\ge q^{3 \sqrt{q} \log q}$$ $\ge q^{3\sqrt{q}logq}$is realizable.
