Abstract

This paper is the first in a series which aims at: (a) giving a proof that the associator relations between multizeta values imply the double shuffle and regularization (DSR) ones, alternative to that of the second-named author's 2010 paper; (b) enhancing Racinet's construction of a torsor structure over the Q-scheme of DSR relations to an explicit bitorsor structure. In this paper, we revisit Racinet's original DSR formalism, whose main character is an algebra coproduct, called the harmonic coproduct, and we introduce a variant which is a module coproduct; we explain the `de Rham' nature of this formalism and construct a `Betti' counterpart of it; we show how both formalisms can be interpreted in terms of geometry, following the ideas of Deligne and Terasoma's unfinished 2005 preprint; we use Bar-Natan's interpretation of associators as functors from the category of parenthesized braids to that of chord diagrams to show that any associator relates the Betti and de Rham geometric objects, both in the `algebraic' and in the `module' setups; we derive that any associator relates the Betti and de Rham algebra coproducts, as well as their module counterparts. These results will be used in the next parts of the series.

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.
