Abstract

This paper proves a "new" family of functional equations (Eqn) for Rogers dilogarithm. These equations rely on the combinatorics of dihedral coordinates on moduli spaces of curves of genus 0, M 0,n. For n = 4 we find back the duality relation while n = 5 gives back the 5 terms relation. It is then proved that the whole family reduces to the 5 terms relation. In the author's knownledge, it is the first time that an infinite family of functional equations for the dilogarithm with an increasing number of variables (n -- 3 for (Eqn)) is reduced to the 5 terms relation.

G3-Criteria and Applications

The G3-property of a subvariety was introduced by Hironaka-Matsumura, and plays an important role for deducing connectedness and extension results. Unfortunately, it's a rather elusive notion, which is not always easy to establish. Most of the existing work is concentrated on subvarieties of homogeneous varieties. The first goal of this article is to show that mobility assumptions on the subvariety, considered in works of Badescu, Chow, Debarre, Voisin, yield a certain partial positivity property, slightly stronger than G3, previously introduced by the author. Second, we apply the result to prove that, in numerous situations, the splitting of the normal bundle of a smooth two-codimensional subvariety implies that it is a complete intersection.

Nodal degeneration of chiral algebras I: Global structure and gluing formula

We define a natural extension of a universal factorization algebra $\mathcal{A}$ to families of stable punctured curves, by integrating over all semistable modifications. We prove that the resulting sheaf of factorization homology satisfies a natural gluing formula, by tensoring over a certain derived associative algebra $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^0$, generalizing the Verlinde formula for gluing of conformal blocks.
