Abstract

The article primarily surveys work that followed from the formulas discovered by Avramov and Iyengar in 2008, which permit one to compute certain Hochschild homology and cohomology modules as expressions involving dualizing complexes. One aspect of the formulas is that (so far) they are only known for maps of finite Tor-dimension---we specialize even further, for this survey we give the formulas only for flat maps. Recall that, for general maps of schemes $f:X\to Y$, the duality functor $f^!$ has traditionally been defined and studied only on the bounded-below derived category. Alonso, Jeremias and Lipman observed that, as long as we restrict to morphisms $f$ of finite Tor-dimension, there is an extension of $f^!$ to the unbounded derived category. But this extension was so poorly understood that the paper [19], revisiting the formulas of Avramov and Iyengar, was unable to prove the obvious extensions of the formulas to the unbounded setting. While most of the paper is a survey, sections 4 and 5 are new. They show how to use the results of [23] to remove the unnatural boundedness hypotheses from the formulas in [19]. This is the application that originally motivated [23].

Lawson--Deligne Classes and Applications

We construct the integral Lawson--Deligne map of weight $q=n-p-k-1$ on smooth complex projective $n$-folds using filtered currents. It lifts the Friedlander--Mazur cycle class, recovers the reduced generalized Abel--Jacobi invariant on homologically trivial classes, and is compatible with algebraic correspondences. A Picard--Fuchs separation argument applied to the conic and van Geemen normal functions on the mirror quintic determines explicit regulator subspaces modulo the full rational period group. For prescribed elliptic moduli and a suitable mirror-quintic fiber, the subspace generated by their $a$- and $b$-loop products has dimension twice the $\Q$-dimension of the period-monomial space. Moduli $i\sqrt{\ell_j}$ for distinct primes $\ell_j$ give $2^{k+1}$ independent images on varieties of dimension $p+k+2$; one repeated imaginary quadratic modulus gives dimension four for every $k\geq1$. Compatibility with known projective-bundle and blow-up decompositions yields independent exceptional subspaces on smooth rational varieties. We also compare the higher Chow composite with the Bloch--KLM regulator after lowering the Hodge filtration. The KLM representative reduces to a cut-current class, and equality with the Lawson composite is proved in degree zero and for constant-unit decomposable classes. The general positive-degree comparison is reduced to an explicit filtered-realization condition.

Border rank lower bounds for families of GL(V)-invariant tensors

We give non-trivial lower bounds for the border rank of families of $\mathbf{GL}(V)$-invariant tensors in $U\otimes \mathbf{S}_λV\otimes \mathbf{S}_μV$ where $U$ is $V$, $\mathrm{Sym}^2V$ or $\bigwedge^2V$. In particular, we provide a family of tensors with border rank reaching arbitrarily close to $2\ell$ in the unbalanced case, where $\ell$ is the largest ambient vector space dimension. We do this by resolving a conjecture introduced by Wu, and obtaining new results on $6j$-symbols as a byproduct. We then generalize our results to $\mathrm{Sym}^2V$ and $\bigwedge^2 V$ using novel techniques based on an application of a theorem of Kostant and Kempf collapsing.

Maximally nodal sextic surfaces and linear determinantal representations

We prove that every maximally nodal sextic surface (with 65 nodes) $X \subset \mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^3$ contains a symmetric half-even set of nodes of cardinality 35. It follows that the associated half-quadratic sheaf is the cokernel of a symmetric $6 \times 6$ matrix of linear forms, yielding a linear determinantal representation of $X$. In particular, after a suitable Serre twist, the half-quadratic sheaf is an Ulrich sheaf of rank 1. As an example, we exhibit an explicit $6 \times 6$ matrix of linear forms whose determinant defines the Barth sextic surface.
