Geometric interplay between function subspaces and their rings of differential operators

Abstract

We study, in the setting of algebraic varieties, finite-dimensional spaces of functions V that are invariant under a ring D^V of differential operators, and give conditions under which D^V acts irreducibly. We show how this problem, originally formulated in physics (Kamran-Milson-Olver), is related to the study of principal parts bundles and Weierstrass points (Laksov-Thorup), including a detailed study of Taylor expansions. Under some conditions it is possible to obtain V and D^V as global sections of a line bundle and its ring of differential operators. We show that several of the published examples of D^V are of this type, and that there are many more -- in particular arising from toric varieties.

G3-Criteria and Applications

The G3-property of a subvariety was introduced by Hironaka-Matsumura, and plays an important role for deducing connectedness and extension results. Unfortunately, it's a rather elusive notion, which is not always easy to establish. Most of the existing work is concentrated on subvarieties of homogeneous varieties. The first goal of this article is to show that mobility assumptions on the subvariety, considered in works of Badescu, Chow, Debarre, Voisin, yield a certain partial positivity property, slightly stronger than G3, previously introduced by the author. Second, we apply the result to prove that, in numerous situations, the splitting of the normal bundle of a smooth two-codimensional subvariety implies that it is a complete intersection.

Nodal degeneration of chiral algebras I: Global structure and gluing formula

We define a natural extension of a universal factorization algebra $\mathcal{A}$ to families of stable punctured curves, by integrating over all semistable modifications. We prove that the resulting sheaf of factorization homology satisfies a natural gluing formula, by tensoring over a certain derived associative algebra $\mathfrak{Z}_{\mathcal{A}}^0$, generalizing the Verlinde formula for gluing of conformal blocks.
