Abstract

Given two nonzero polynomials $f, g \in \mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ vanishing at the origin $0 \in \mathbb{R}^n$, we study the numerical range of the limit $$ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)}, $$ denoted by $\mathcal{R}_{f,g}$, which is defined as the set of all possible limits of the rational function $\displaystyle\frac{f}{g}$ as $x$ tends to $0$. When $n = 2$ and $g$ has a non-isolated zero at $0$, we describe all possible forms of $\mathcal{R}_{f,g}$ and provide an effective algorithm to compute this set based on Puiseux expansions. This is a follow-up to our recent results~\cite{Dinh2025}, in which we only considered the case when $0$ is an isolated zero of $g$.

Geometric Detection and Finiteness of Log Crystalline Local Systems

We prove a geometric detection theorem for log crystalline local systems in the smooth proper setting with a normal crossings boundary. The associated special-fiber log $F$-isocrystal detects geometric absolute irreducibility and, modulo constant rank-one twists, determines the pullback to the geometric generic fiber. The main ingredient is a determinant argument combining a finite-order rank-one reduction, logarithmic period comparison, and the Plücker embedding. As an application, using Abe--Esnault's finiteness theorem and finiteness of stable lattices, we prove finiteness, up to geometrically constant rank-one twists, of geometrically absolutely irreducible log crystalline local systems of fixed rank. Coefficients may lie in any fixed finite extension of $\mathbb Q_p$, and no bound on the Hodge--Tate weights is imposed.

Betti Numbers of Odd Biisotropic Symplectic Grassmannians

We compute the singular cohomology groups of odd biisotropic symplectic Grassmannians $\operatorname{S_2Gr}(k, 2n+1)$ by presenting an explicit dimension-preserving combinatorial bijection between the Bialynicki-Birula cells in $\operatorname{S_2Gr}(k, 2n+1)$ and the Schubert cells in $\operatorname{Gr}(k, 2n+2-k)$.

Motivic $C_p$-power operations in $\mathrm{MGL}$

In this paper, we give a new proof of the Hopkins-Morel-Hoyois theorem for fields $k$ of characteristic unequal to $p$ containing all primitive $p$-power roots of unity for a fixed prime $p$. This new proof follows Quillen's proof for the structure of the homotopy groups of $\mathrm{MU}$ which utilizes topological power operations. To this end we define a motivic analog of the Steenrod power operations, using the theory of normed motivic spectra as developed by Bachmann--Hoyois and their application for the definition of motivic colimits as developed by Bachmann-Elmanto-Heller.
