A $\mathrm{PGL}_n^{(N)}$-oper is a specific type of flat $\mathrm{PGL}_n$-bundle on an algebraic curve in prime characteristic $p$ enhanced by an action of the sheaf of differential operators of level $N-1$. In this paper, we introduce and…

Measures of irrationality are a numerical way of quantifying how far a given variety is from being rational (or rationally connected, uniruled, etc.). In the last two decades, there has been renewed interest in the study of these…

The study of irreducible subvarieties has recently seen a surge of interest due to connections with convex geometry. In this paper, we study cohomology classes of Grassmannians that are realizable by irreducible subvarieties. We completely…

We study classes of strata of differentials with fixed spin parity in the Chow ring of moduli spaces of curves. We show that these classes are tautological and computable. Furthermore, we establish the refined DR cycle formula for these…

Spencer cohomology theory studies the cohomology of chain complexes of modules over the ring of differential operators $\mathscr{D}$ of a smooth analytic space. In this paper we give a generalisation of Spencer cohomology suitable for…

We study a notion of tropical linear series on metric graphs that combines two essential properties of tropicalizations of linear series on algebraic curves: the Baker-Norine rank and the independence rank. Our main results relate the local…

This paper is concerned with long-time interest of us, especially, the author, in realizing graphs as Reeb graphs of real algebraic functions of certain nice classes. The Reeb graph of a differentiable function is the set consisting of all…

We show that some important classes of weak Fano $3$-folds of Picard rank $2$ do not satisfy Bott vanishing. Using this we show that any smooth projective $3$-fold $X$ of Picard rank $2$ with $-K_X$ nef which is the image of a projective…

The present work consists of topics covered through a course currently taught by the author at SIMIS.

We develop some basic facts on deformations of exterior differential ideals on a smooth complex algebraic variety. With these tools we study deformations of several types of differential ideals, leading to several irreducible components of…

The notion of a quantum tau-function for a natural quantization of the KdV hierarchy was introduced in a work of Dubrovin, Gu\'er\'e, Rossi, and the second author. A certain natural choice of a quantum tau-function was then described by the…

We prove a `Whitney' presentation, and a `Coulomb branch' presentation, for the torus equivariant quantum K theory of the Grassmann manifold $\mathrm{Gr}(k;n)$, inspired from physics, and stated in an earlier paper. The first presentation…

We prove existence of flips, special termination, the base point free theorem and, in the case of log general type, the existence of minimal models for F-dlt foliated pairs of co-rank one on a $\mathbb Q$-factorial projective threefold. As…

We define a birational analog of the motivic zeta function of a reduced polynomial in terms of minimal models. It admits an intrinsic meaning in terms of contact loci of arcs, an analog of a result of Denef and Loeser in the motivic case.…

We show that infinitesimal deformations of twisted sheaves are controlled by the DG Lie algebra of their derived automorphisms. We prove that such DG Lie algebra is formal for polystable twisted sheaves on minimal surfaces of Kodaira…

In this paper we prove that the rational Chow rings of $\mathcal{M}_{5,8}$ and $\mathcal{M}_{5,9}$ are tautological, and that these moduli spaces have the Chow K\"unneth generation Property.

We formulate and prove an analogue of the balancing condition for the tropicalization of a curve in a torus bundle $X$. We find that the usual balancing condition fails when the bundle is non-trivial and that the failure is captured by the…

A Leech pair is defined as a pair $(G,S)$, where $S$ is a positive definite even lattice without roots, equipped with a faithful action of a finite group $G$, such that the invariant sublattice of $S$ under the action of $G$ is trivial, and…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p$, and let $X/k$ be a smooth variety. It is known that given a Frobenius lifting of $X$, we can identify prismatic crystals and nilpotent Higgs bundles, known as a positive characteristic…

We study multivariate Gaussian statistical models whose maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is a rational function of the observed data. We establish a one-to-one correspondence between such models and the solutions to a nonlinear…
