The purpose of this paper is to study Virasoro constraints for Hodge integrals in Gromov-Witten theory of any target varieties. Results consist of the following: Firstly, we propose Virasoro conjecture for Hodge integrals in Gromov-Witten…

We consider the Pfaffian-Grassmannian equivalence from the motivic point of view. The main result is that under certain numerical conditions, both sides of the equivalence are related on the level of Chow motives. The consequences include a…

We introduce two new general methods to compute the Chow motives of twisted flag varieties and settle a 20-year-old conjecture of Markus Rost about the Rost invariant for groups of type E7.

Let $X$ be a complex smooth projective variety of dimension $d$. Under some assumption on the cohomology of $X$, we construct mutually orthogonal idempotents in $CH_d(X \times X) \otimes \Q$ whose action on algebraically trivial cycles…

Iwasawa showed that there are non-cyclotomic $\mathbb Z_p$-extensions with positive $\mu$-invariant. We show that these $\mu$-invariants can be evaluated explicitly in many situations when $p=2$ and $p=3$.

Guillet and Soul\'e have shown that, for a fibration $\pi: Y \to X$ with fibre $Z$, locally trivial in the Zariski topology, we have a decomposition \[ [Y] = [X] \cdot [Z], \] where $[\cdot]$ denotes a class in the Grothendieck group…

In earlier work (arXiv:0801.0261), we gave a definition of an abelian category of motivic (constructible) sheaves over a base in characteristic zero using Nori's method. This category has Hodge and etale realizations, and is stable under…

Existence and non-existence results are established for quasilinear elliptic problems with nonlinear boundary conditions and lack of compactness. The proofs combine variational methods with the geometrical feature, due to the competition…

The goal of this paper is to derive in the two-dimensional case necessary and sufficient minimality conditions in terms of the second variation for the functional \[ v\mapsto\int_{\Omega}\big(|\nabla v|^{2}+\chi_{\{v>0\}}Q^{2} \big)\,dx, \]…

For every $n$-dimensional smooth projective variety $X$ over ${\bf C}$, the motive $M(X)$ is expected to admit a Chow-K\"unneth decomposition $M_0(X)\oplus\cdots \oplus M_{2n}(X)$. Inspired by the slice filtration of $M(X)$ we propose the…

We investigate how the motive of hyper-K\"ahler varieties is controlled by weight-2 (or surface-like) motives via tensor operations. In the first part, we study the Voevodsky motive of singular moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on K3 and…

We introduce a presentation of the Chow ring of a matroid by a new set of generators, called "simplicial generators." These generators are analogous to nef divisors on projective toric varieties, and admit a combinatorial interpretation via…

We consider the relation of mixed global gauge gravitational anomalies and boundary conformal field theory in WZW models for simple Lie groups. The discrete symmetries of consideration are the centers of the simple Lie groups. These mixed…

We construct an algebraic-cycle based model for the motivic cohomology on the category of schemes of finite type over a field, where schemes may admit arbitrary singularities and may be non-reduced. We show that our theory is functorial on…

In this paper we approach the two weighted boundedness of commutators via matrix weights. This approach provides both a sufficient and a necessary condition for the two weighted boundedness of commutators with an arbitrary linear operator…

This paper uses rigid Hecke eigensheaves, building on Yun's work on the construction of motives with exceptional Galois groups, to produce the first robust examples of `generalized Kuga-Satake theory' outside the Tannakian category of…

Let $f : X -> B$ be a projective surjective morphism between quasi-projective varieties. The goal of this paper is the study of the Chow groups of $X$ in terms of the Chow groups of $B$ and of the fibers of $f$. One of the applications…

Shibata, Ury\=u and Friedman recently suggested a new decomposition of Einstein's equations that is useful for constructing initial data. In contrast to previous decompositions, the conformal metric is no longer treated as a…

We show that the l-adic realization functor is conservative when restricted to the Chow motives of abelian type over a finite field. A weak version of this conservativity result extends to mixed motives of abelian type.

We give a sufficient condition for a bi-invariant weight on a Frobenius bimodule to satisfy the extension property. This condition applies to bi-invariant weights on a finite Frobenius ring as a special case. The complex-valued functions on…
