We give a counterexample to a formula suggested by the work of Letellier and Rodriguez-Villegas (arXiv:2008.13435) for the mixed Poincar\'e series of character stacks for non-orientable surfaces. The counterexample is obtained by an…

We generalize a new class of cluster type mutations for which exchange transformations are given by reciprocal polynomials. In the case of second-order polynomials of the form $x+2\cos{\pi/n_o}+x^{-1}$ these transformations are related to…

We prove that suitable properties of the twists by Dirichlet characters of an L-function of degree 2 imply that its Euler product is of polynomial type.

Let $\mathsf{F}_r$ be a free group of rank $r$, $\mathbb{F}_q$ a finite field of order q, and let $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ act on $\mathrm{Hom}(\mathsf{F}_r, \mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{F}_q))$ by conjugation. We describe a general algorithm…

In this paper we consider some families of links, including (-2,2m+1,2n)-pretzel links and twisted Whitehead links. We calculate the character varieties of these families, and determine the number of irreducible components of these…

We find an intriguing relation between the chiral algebra and the mixed Hodge structure of the Coulomb branch of four dimensional $\mathcal{N} = 2$ superconformal field theories. We identify the space of irreducible characters of the…

We prove the arithmetic Hodge index and hard Lefschetz conjectures for the Grassmannian $G=G(2,N)$ parametrizing lines in projective space, for the natural arithmetic Lefschetz operator defined via the Pl\"ucker embedding of $G$ in…

Let F be a finite group and X be a complex quasi-projective F-variety. For r in N, we consider the mixed Hodge-Deligne polynomials of quotients X^r/F, where F acts diagonally, and compute them for certain classes of varieties X with simple…

Using constructions of Voisin, we exhibit a smooth projective variety defined over a number field k and two complex embeddings of k, such that the two complex manifolds induced by these embeddings have non isomorphic cohomology algebras…

We study the positivity of complete intersections of nef classes. We first give a sufficient and necessary characterization on the complete intersection classes which have hard Lefschetz property on a compact complex torus, equivalently, in…

We prove the Hard Lefschetz theorem and Hodge-Riemann relations for certain rings which resemble the cohomology rings of projectivizations of globally generated vector bundles over toric varieties. This proves new cases of the standard…

In this paper, we consider compatible Hom-Leibniz algebra where the Hom map twists the operations in the compatible system. We consider a suitably graded Lie algebra whose Maurer-Cartan elements characterize the structure of compatible…

We compute characteristic numbers of elliptically fibered fourfolds with multisections or non-trivial Mordell-Weil groups. We first consider the models of type E$_{9-d}$ with $d=1,2,3,4$ whose generic fibers are normal elliptic curves of…

This paper contains two main results. First, we provide combinatorial branching rules for $\text{GL}_n \downarrow \text{O}_n$ and $\text{GL}_{2n} \downarrow \text{Sp}_{2n}$ extending the Littlewood restriction rules. Second, we use these…

For the Borromean link, we determine its irreducible ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$-character variety, and find a formula for the twisted Alexander polynomial as a function on the character variety.

In this paper we determine all possible cohomological invariants of Aut(J)-torsors in Galois cohomology with mod 2 coefficients (characteristic of the base field not 2), for J a split central simple Jordan algebra of odd degree n>=3. This…

We define a twisted $L^2$-torsion on the character variety of 3-manifold $M$ and study some of its properties. In the case where $M$ is hyperbolic of finite volume, we prove that the $L^2$-torsion is a real analytic function on a…
