Abstract

We introduce two sets of invariants for a line bundle at a point: infinitesimal successive minima and asymptotic partial jet separation. They are inspired by the local analogue of Ambro-Ito, and by the jet-theoretic interpretation of the Seshadri constant respectively. Under mild restrictions the two sets are equal. Moving to convex geometry, we prove that the lengths of the maximal simplex inside the generic infinitesimal Newton-Okounkov body (iNObody) of the line bundle at the point are precisely the successive minima. As application we characterize when this body is simplicial, and give examples when it is not. When the point is very general the convex body has a shape that we call Borel-fixed, a property inspired by generic initial ideals. Borel-fixed convex bodies satisfy simplicial lower bounds and polytopal upper bounds determined by their widths. For the generic iNObody of the line bundle at very general points these widths are again the infinitesimal successive minima.

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.
