Abstract

In this paper, we study closure relations of Simpson strata in Hodge moduli spaces over a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g\geq2$ and prove in every rank that the Heinloth weight strictly increases whenever a specialization changes the fixed component. For stable full chains, we refine this numerical condition by comparing the degrees of the corresponding filtration steps and construct counterexamples to Simpson's nestedness conjecture for the Dolbeault and de Rham moduli spaces in every rank $n\geq4$. Using the maximum property of this weight, we also discuss Simpson filtrations from the viewpoint of $Θ$ stratifications.

Les squelettes accessibles d'un espace de Berkovich

We define a class of skeletons on Berkovich analytic spaces, which we call "accessible", which contains the standard skeleton of the n-dimensional torus for every n and is preserved by G-glueing, by taking the inverse image along a morphism of relative dimension zero, and by taking the direct image along a morphism whose restriction to the involved skeleton is topologically proper.

Critical Points of Degenerate Metrics on Algebraic Varieties: A Tale of Overparametrization

We study the critical points over an algebraic variety of an optimization problem defined by a quadratic objective that is degenerate. This scenario arises in machine learning when the dataset size is small with respect to the model, and is typically referred to as overparametrization. Our main result relates the degenerate optimization problem to a nondegenerate one via a projection. In the highly-degenerate regime, we find that a central role is played by the ramification locus of the projection. Additionally, we provide tools for counting the number of critical points over projective varieties, and discuss specific cases arising from deep learning. Our work bridges tools from algebraic geometry with ideas from machine learning, and it extends the line of literature around the Euclidean distance degree to the degenerate setting.

On relative Ulrich bundles and generalized Clifford algebras

We give a Clifford-theoretic description of relatively Ulrich bundles on smooth families of hypersurfaces. A split projection centre produces an explicit monic Clifford algebra whose locally free representations are exactly the relatively Ulrich bundles. For quadric fibrations, the description is intrinsic and requires no projection centre; the even Clifford algebra gives exact formulas for the minimal relative Ulrich rank in terms of Brauer classes and monodromy. We also obtain applications to stability, moduli, and relative wildness.
