Tropical geometry in torus bundles

Abstract

We formulate and prove an analogue of the balancing condition for the tropicalization of a curve in a torus bundle $X$. We find that the usual balancing condition fails when the bundle is non-trivial and that the failure is captured by the first Chern classes of the line bundles associated to $X$. We discuss a geometric perspective of tropicalization where the weights arise naturally from intersection theory. The relations between divisors on a toric variety bundle put constraints on these weights which leads to the balancing condition.

A stacky $p$-adic Riemann--Hilbert correspondence on Hitchin-small locus

Let $C$ be an algebraically closed perfectoid field over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with the ring of integer $\mathcal{O}_C$ and the infinitesimal thickening $\Ainf$. Let $\mathfrak X$ be a semi-stable formal scheme over $\mathcal{O}_C$ with a fixed flat lifting $\widetilde{\mathfrak X}$ over $\Ainf$. Let $X$ be the generic fiber of $\mathfrak{X}$ and $\widetilde X$ be its lifting over $\BdRp$ induced by $\widetilde{\mathfrak X}$. Let $\MIC_r(\widetilde X)^{{\rm H}\text{-small}}$ and $\rL\rS_r(X,\BBdRp)^{{\rm H}\text{-small}}$ be the $v$-stacks of rank-$r$ Hitchin-small integrable connections on $X_{\et}$ and $\BBdRp$-local systems on $X_{v}$, respectively. In this paper, we establish an equivalence between these two stacks by introducing a new period sheaf with connection $(\calO\bB_{\dR,\pd}^+,\rd)$ on $X_{v}$.

A refinement of the coherence conjecture of Pappas and Rapoport

The coherence conjecture of Pappas and Rapoport, proved by Zhu, asserts the equality of dimensions for the global sections of a line bundle over a spherical Schubert variety in the affine Grassmannian and those of another line bundle over a certain union of Schubert varieties in a partial affine flag variety. We refine this equality of dimensions to an isomorphism of representations. The comparison is established by introducing a parahoric Bruhat-Tits group scheme $\mathcal{G}$ over the affine line, ramified at 0. We further strengthen this comparison by equipping any line bundle on the global Schubert variety of $\mathcal{G}$ with a unique equivariant structure under the global jet group scheme. As an application, we obtain new relations among affine Demazure modules.

Refined tropical invariants and characteristic numbers

We prove that the Göttsche-Schroeter and Schroeter-Shustin refined invariants specialize at $q=1$ to the enumeration of rational, resp. elliptic complex curves on arbitrary toric surfaces matching constraints that consist of points and of points with a contact element. Furthermore, we show that the refined invariant extends to the case of any genus $g\ge2$ and either one contact constraint or points in Mikhalkin position, and it again specializes to the corresponding characteristic number at $q=1$. In the appendix we show the limitations of extending this count to a more general setting.
