The Abundance conjecture predicts that on a minimal projective klt pair $(X,\Delta)$, the adjoint divisor $K_X+\Delta$ is semiample. When $\chi(X,\mathcal O_X)\neq0$, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the conjecture to hold…
These brief notes record our puzzles and findings surrounding Givental's recent conjecture which expresses higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants in terms of the genus-0 data. We limit our considerations to the case of a projective line,…
We give a proof of the o-minimal version of the Whitney Extension Theorem simplified as compared to the original ones. A new simplifying ingredient is a definable variant of Urysohn's lemma for class $\mathcal{C}^q$ (see Section 3).
We prove a substantial part of conjectures of Mazur and Tate that refine the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. Our approach, which also leads to some results even finer than the predictions of Mazur and Tate, is via the `rank-zero…
In [8] (Nakagawa, et.al., IEEE Trans. IT, 2021), we investigated the convergence speed of the Arimoto-Blahut algorithm. In [8], the convergence of the order $O(1/N)$ was analyzed by focusing on the second-order nonlinear recurrence formula…
We introduce and study weak o-minimality in the context of complete types in an arbitrary first-order theory. A type $p\in S(A)$ is weakly o-minimal if for some relatively $A$-definable linear order, $<$, on $p(\mathfrak{C})$ every…
In this paper we are interested in symmetries of alternating knots, more precisely in those related to achirality. We call the following statement Tait's Conjecture on alternating -achiral knots: Let K be an alternating -achiral knot. Then…
We establish two consequences of the Kawamata--Morrison--Totaro cone conjecture, and prove them unconditionally in all dimensions. First, for a K-trivial variety, the natural action of its automorphism group on the set of ample divisor…
The universal Poincar\'e torsor, or more generally the universal semi-abelian scheme, can be viewed as a mixed Shimura variety. We give a classification of special subvarieties of the universal semi-abelian scheme of arbitrary toric rank.…
The Poincar\'e torsor of a Shimura family of abelian varieties can be viewed both as a family of semi-abelian varieties and as a mixed Shimura variety. We show that the special subvarieties of the latter cannot all be described in terms of…
Adapting a technique of Pintz, we give an elementary demonstration of the Deuring phenomenon: a zero of \zeta(s) off the critical line gives a lower bound on L(1,\chi). The necessary tools are Dirichlet's 'method of the hyperbola', Euler…
In this paper, we survey some recent results on the Artin conjecture and discuss some aspects for the Artin conjecture.
We study the Ekedahl-Oort stratification for good reductions of Shimura varieties of PEL type. These generalize the Ekedahl-Oort strata defined and studied by Oort for the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties (the "Siegel…
We introduce the notions of triviality and order-triviality for global invariant types in an arbitrary first-order theory and show that they are well behaved in the NIP context. We show that these two notions agree for invariant global…
We give a new proof of the Smale conjecture for $\mathbb{RP}^3$ and all lens spaces using minimal surfaces and min-max theory. For $\mathbb{RP}^3$, the conjecture was first proved in 2019 by Bamler-Kleiner using Ricci flow.
We give a new proof of Glauberman's ZJ Theorem, in a form that clarifies the choices involved and offers more choices than classical treatments. In particular, we introduce two new ZJ-type subgroups of a $p$-group $S$, that contain…
The main purpose of the following article is to give a proof of Y. Kawamata's celebrated subadjunction theorem in the spirit of our previous work on Bergman kernels. We will use two main ingredients : an $\displaystyle L^{2\over…
In this note we point out links between the Shimura - Taniyama conjecture and certain ideas in physics. Since all the seminal references are by strange coincidence Japanese we wish to call this the Japanese approach. The note elaborates on…
The first half of this article is expository -- I will review, with examples, the main statements of the Langlands classification and Arthur's conjectures for real reductive groups as formulated by Adams, Barbasch, and Vogan. In the second…
We prove a conjecture of K. Marton, widely known as the polynomial Freiman--Ruzsa conjecture, in characteristic $2$. The argument extends to odd characteristic, with details to follow in a subsequent paper.
