This article gives a characterization of quotients of complex tori by finite groups acting freely in codimension two in terms of a numerical vanishing condition on the first and second Chern class. This generalizes results previously obtained by Greb–Kebekus–Peternell in the projective setting, and by Kirschner and the second author in dimension three. As a key ingredient to the proof, we obtain a version of the Bogomolov–Gieseker inequality for stable sheaves on singular spaces, including a discussion of the case of equality.","PeriodicalId":50664,"journal":{"name":"Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47778336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Fourier non-uniqueness sets from totally real number fields","authors":"D. Radchenko, Martin Stoller","doi":"10.4171/cmh/538","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4171/cmh/538","url":null,"abstract":". Let K be a totally real number field of degree n ≥ 2. The inverse different of K gives rise to a lattice in R n . We prove that the space of Schwartz Fourier eigenfunctions on R n which vanish on the “component-wise square root” of this lattice, is infinite dimensional. The Fourier non-uniqueness set thus obtained is a discrete subset of the union of all spheres √ mS n − 1 for integers m ≥ 0 and, as m → ∞ , there are ∼ c K m n − 1 many points on the m -th sphere for some explicit constant c K , proportional to the square root of the discriminant of K . This contrasts a recent Fourier uniqueness result by Stoller [17, Cor. 1.1]. Using a different construction involving the codifferent of K , we prove an analogue for discrete subsets of ellipsoids. In special cases, these sets also lie on spheres with more densely spaced radii, but with fewer points on each. We also study a related question about existence of Fourier interpolation formulas with nodes “ √ Λ” for general lattices Λ ⊂ R n . Using results about lattices in Lie groups of higher rank we prove that if n ≥ 2 and a certain group Γ Λ ≤ PSL 2 ( R ) n is discrete, then such interpolation formulas cannot exist. Motivated by these more general considerations, we revisit the case of one radial variable and prove, for all n ≥ 5 and all real λ > 2, Fourier interpolation results for sequences of spheres (cid:112) 2 m/λS n − 1 , where m ranges over any fixed cofinite set of non-negative integers. The proof relies on a series of Poincar´e type for Hecke groups of infinite covolume and is similar to the one in [17, § 4].","PeriodicalId":50664,"journal":{"name":"Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici","volume":"61 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41246446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We give explicit formulae for two invariant functions $mathcal T(S)to mathbb R$ whose symplectic gradients generate autonomous Hamiltonian flows that coincide with the action of $varphi$ at time one. We compute the Poisson bracket between these two functions. This amounts to computing the variation of length of a H\"older cocyle on one lamination along a shear vector field defined by another. For a measurably generic set of laminations, we prove that the variation of length is expressed as the cosine of the angle between the two laminations integrated against the product H\"older distribution, generalizing a result of Kerckhoff. We also obtain rates of convergence for the supports of germs of differentiable paths of measured laminations in the Hausdorff metric on a hyperbolic surface, which may be of independent interest.","PeriodicalId":50664,"journal":{"name":"Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47226955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For hypersurfaces moving by standard mean curvature flow with boundary, we show that if the tangent flow at a boundary singularity is given by a smoothly embedded shrinker, then the shrinker must be non-orientable. We also show that there is an initially smooth surface in R 3 that develops a boundary singularity for which the shrinker is smoothly embedded (and therefore non-orientable). Indeed, we show that there is a nonempty open set of such initial surfaces. Let κ be the largest number with the following property: if M is a minimal surface in R 3 bounded by a smooth simple closed curve of total curvature < κ , then M is a disk. Examples show that κ < 4 π . In this paper, we use mean curvature flow to show that κ > 3 π . We get a slightly larger lower bound for orientable surfaces.","PeriodicalId":50664,"journal":{"name":"Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49412718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the synthetic lower Ricci bound is close enough to (negative) zero and the aforementioned upper bound on the revised first Betti number is saturated (i.e. equal to the integer part of $N$, denoted by $lfloor N rfloor$), then we establish a torus stability result stating that the space is $lfloor N rfloor$-rectifiable as a metric measure space, and a finite cover must be mGH-close to an $lfloor N rfloor$-dimensional flat torus; moreover, in case $N$ is an integer, we prove that the space itself is bi-H\"older homeomorphic to a flat torus.
