Abstract

We investigate the cohomology of the Milnor fibre of a reflection arrangement as a module for the group $Γ$ generated by the reflections, together with the cyclic monodromy. Although we succeed completely only for unitary reflection groups of rank two, we establish some general results which relate the isotypic componenents of the monodromy on the cohomology, to the Hodge structure and to the cohomology degree. Using eigenspace theory for reflection groups, we prove some sum formulae for additive functions such as the equivariant weight polynomial and certain polynomials related to the Euler characteristic, such as the Hodge-Deligne polynomials. We also use monodromy eigenspaces to determine the spectrum in some cases, which in turn throws light on the Hodge structure of the cohomology. These methods enable us to compute the complete story, including the representation of $Γ$ on the Hodge components in each cohomology degree, for some groups of low rank.

Shrinking dynamic on multidimensional tropical series

Let $Ω\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a compact convex domain. An $Ω$-tropical series is a nonnegative, concave, integral-slope, piecewise-affine function on $Ω$ that vanishes on $\partialΩ$. For a finite set $P\subsetΩ^\circ$, we study the least such function above prescribed initial data whose corner locus contains $P$. It is obtained by repeatedly applying one-point shrinking operators $G_p$. We prove that every fair order of these operators stabilizes after finitely many nontrivial steps. We also describe an event-driven implementation that records the lowest monomials at each point and updates only affected watcher lists. Finally, we show that, on every compact subset of $Ω^\circ$, the resulting dynamics can be approximated by a finite path whose intermediate tropical hypersurfaces have only mild singularities on that compact set; equivalently, the corresponding local cells of the dual regular subdivision contain no lattice points other than their vertices.

A stacky $p$-adic Riemann--Hilbert correspondence on Hitchin-small locus

Let $C$ be an algebraically closed perfectoid field over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with the ring of integer $\mathcal{O}_C$ and the infinitesimal thickening $\Ainf$. Let $\mathfrak X$ be a semi-stable formal scheme over $\mathcal{O}_C$ with a fixed flat lifting $\widetilde{\mathfrak X}$ over $\Ainf$. Let $X$ be the generic fiber of $\mathfrak{X}$ and $\widetilde X$ be its lifting over $\BdRp$ induced by $\widetilde{\mathfrak X}$. Let $\MIC_r(\widetilde X)^{{\rm H}\text{-small}}$ and $\rL\rS_r(X,\BBdRp)^{{\rm H}\text{-small}}$ be the $v$-stacks of rank-$r$ Hitchin-small integrable connections on $X_{\et}$ and $\BBdRp$-local systems on $X_{v}$, respectively. In this paper, we establish an equivalence between these two stacks by introducing a new period sheaf with connection $(\calO\bB_{\dR,\pd}^+,\rd)$ on $X_{v}$.

A refinement of the coherence conjecture of Pappas and Rapoport

The coherence conjecture of Pappas and Rapoport, proved by Zhu, asserts the equality of dimensions for the global sections of a line bundle over a spherical Schubert variety in the affine Grassmannian and those of another line bundle over a certain union of Schubert varieties in a partial affine flag variety. We refine this equality of dimensions to an isomorphism of representations. The comparison is established by introducing a parahoric Bruhat-Tits group scheme $\mathcal{G}$ over the affine line, ramified at 0. We further strengthen this comparison by equipping any line bundle on the global Schubert variety of $\mathcal{G}$ with a unique equivariant structure under the global jet group scheme. As an application, we obtain new relations among affine Demazure modules.
