Abstract

Let $(X, Ω)$ be an affine Calabi--Yau variety, by which we mean a klt affine variety $X$ with a non-vanishing algebraic volume form $Ω$. In connection with complete Calabi--Yau metrics of Euclidean volume growth on $(X, Ω)$, we study algebraic aspects of polarizations of $X$ given by a negative valuation. We show that such a valuation is finitely generated with a klt degeneration if and only if $X$ admits a dlt log Fano type compactification, generalizing a compactification considered by Tian--Yau. We further give a valuative criterion detecting K-semistability of the degeneration by a negative valuation.

Characteristic cycles of real and complex constructible sheaves, revisited

For a smooth morphism $f: X \longrightarrow Σ$ of real analytic manifolds and an $\mathbb{R}$-constructible sheaf $F$ on $X$ satisfying some condition, we define a family of Lagrangian cycles parameterized by $Σ$ that we call the relative characteristic cycle of $F$ for $f$. In this way, the theory of characteristic cycles due to Kashiwara and Schapira is naturally extended to the relative setting. Based on it, we then prove a formula for the characteristic cycles of real nearby cycle sheaves. This leads us to obtain also formulas for the characteristic cycles of various constructible sheaves, such as specialization, microlocalization, and complex nearby and vanishing cycle sheaves, in a unified manner. In fact, our methods allow us to calculate not only their characteristic cycles but also their microlocal types in many situations. We will illustrate it by various examples.

Remarks on the monodromy conjecture for symmetric determinantal hypersurfaces

We compute the local and global Denef--Loeser topological zeta functions of the determinant on the space of symmetric matrices. It verifies the strong monodromy conjecture of the symmetric determinant function. The computation relates to the geometry of complete quadrics and wonderful embeddings.

Tropical cohomology for band schemes over the tropical hyperfield

We define tropical band varieties as $\mathbf{T}$-reductions of separated finitely presented $\mathbf{T}$-band schemes. We construct a faithful functor from the category of tropical band varieties to the category of extended polyhedral spaces in the sense of Gross--Shokrieh. As a byproduct, we show that tropical cohomology can be defined functorially on tropical band varieties.
