Abstract

This small text was written for the AMS Notices. It is a survey of integrality properties of complex local systems, where I tried to single out one example which is not entirely explicit in the literature. The focus is on the obstruction it yields for a finitely presented group to be the topological fundamental group of a connected smooth quasi-projective complex variety. I thank Johan de Jong, Michael Groechenig, and Moritz Kerz. The material in this expository note relies on joint work or discussions with them. This version: I have tried several times to make the AMS bib file compatible with the arXiv requirement, it never worked..., today it seems to do!

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.
