Abstract

A characteristic property of cohomology with compact support is the long exact sequence that connects the compactly supported cohomology groups of a space, an open subspace and its complement. Given an arbitrary cohomology theory of algebraic varieties, one can ask whether a compactly supported version exists, satisfying such a long exact sequence. This is the case whenever the cohomology theory satisfies descent for abstract blowups (also known as proper cdh descent). We make this precise by proving an equivalence between certain categories of hypersheaves. We show how several classical and non-trivial results, such as the existence of a unique weight filtration on cohomology with compact support, can be derived from this theorem.

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.
