Abstract

We establish a Ross-Witt Nyström correspondence for weak geodesic lines in the (completed) space of Kähler metrics. We construct a wide range of weak geodesic lines on arbitrary projective Kähler manifolds that are not generated by holomorphic vector fields, in the process disproving a folklore conjecture popularized by Berndtsson. Remarkably, some of these weak geodesic lines turn out to be smooth. In the case of Riemann surfaces, our results can be significantly sharpened. Finally, we investigate the validity of Euclid's fifth postulate for the space of Kähler metrics.

Cohomology of Lie algebroids over topological ringed spaces

We consider Lie algebroids over a topological ringed space as quasicoherent sheaves of Lie-Rinehart algebras. We express hypercohomology for a locally free Lie algebroid (not necessarily of finite rank) as a derived functor, and simplify it via Čech cohomology. Furthermore, we define the Hochschild hypercohomology of a sheaf of generalized bialgebras (using a derived functor) and study the cases of the universal enveloping algebroid and of the jet algebroid of a Lie algebroid. In the sequel, we present a version of Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem for a locally free Lie algebroid, as well as its dual version.

Family index for Fredholm extensions of semi-Fredholm operators

This paper is devoted to an abstract analogue of elliptic boundary value problems, namely, Fredholm realizations of semi-Fredholm operators in a Hilbert space. Such a realization is determined by an abstract boundary condition, which is a subspace in the space of abstract boundary values. We find the $K^0$ index of a family of such abstract boundary value problems, or the $K^1$ index in the self-adjoint case, in terms of the corresponding family of abstract boundary conditions. Our approach is based on passing from a Fredholm operator to its graph. The graph forms a Fredholm pair with the horizontal subspace, and we prove the index formula by deforming the horizontal subspace instead of the operator.

Classifying Slice-Regular Polynomials via Group Actions on the Twistor Space

We study the equivalence classes of slice-regular functions $f:Ω\to\mathbb{H}$ on a symmetric slice domain $Ω$, and of their subclass made of polynomial slice-regular functions, with respect to the natural action of $\mathrm{PGL}(2,\mathbb{H})$ and its subgroups, by employing the twistor construction. In particular, we characterize slice--regular functions whose twistor lift is planar and belongs to a given orbit, and we find normal classes of slice-regular polynomials with respect to the action of a parabolic subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(2,\mathbb{H})$.
