Abstract

The space of matrices of positive determinant GL^+_n inherits an extrinsic metric space structure from R^{n^2}. On the other hand, taking the infimum of the lengths of all paths connecting two points in GL^+_n gives an intrinsic metric. We prove bilipschitz equivalence for intrinsic and extrinsic metrics on GL^+_n, exploiting the conical structure of the stratification of the space of n by n matrices by rank.

Optimal bounds for local volumes of threefold singularities

We establish an optimal upper bound for local volumes of Gorenstein canonical non-hypersurface threefold singularities. Specifically, we show that a klt threefold singularity with local volume at least $9$ is either a hypersurface singularity or a quotient singularity. As applications, we obtain new restrictions on the singularities of members in K-moduli spaces of Fano threefolds, and we establish a sharp inequality between local volumes and minimal log discrepancies for threefold singularities.

Bridgeland-Enriques general K3 surfaces

This article introduces a notion of Bridgeland-Enriques general K3 surfaces motivated by the study of Enriques categories over K3 surfaces and the invariant Bridgeland stability conditions. The family of Bridgeland-Enriques general K3 surfaces of degree 10 detects a categorical degeneration of special Gushel-Mukai threefolds. Also, the families of Bridgeland-Enriques general K3 surfaces with higher degrees are closely related to Hodge-special Gushel-Mukai fourfolds and double EPW sextics.

Nagata's conjecture on a polynomial automorphism in positive characteristic

An automorphism of the polynomial ring $k[x_1,\ldots ,x_n]$ over a field $k$ is said to be $\mathit{tame}$ if it can be obtained by composing affine automorphisms and elementary automorphisms, and $\mathit{wild}$ otherwise. Jung and van der Kulk showed that every automorphism of $k[x_1,x_2]$ is tame. In 1972, Nagata conjectured that a certain automorphism of $k[x_1,x_2,x_3]$ is wild. In 2003, Shestakov and Umirbaev proved this conjecture for $\mathop{\mathrm{char}}\nolimits k=0$. The purpose of this paper is to prove the conjecture for $\mathop{\mathrm{char}}\nolimits k\ge 7$. This is the first time that the existence of a wild automorphism has been confirmed in positive characteristic.
