We also indicate analogies with work of Andre and Hrushovski and with the Grothendieck-Katz Conjecture. To reach this goal, we first provide proofs of independent results which extend conclusions of relative Manin-Mumford type allied to the Zilber-Pink conjectures: we characterize torsion points lying on a general curve in a general abelian scheme of arbitrary relative dimension at least 2. In turn, we present yet another application of the latter results to a rather general pencil of Pell equations $A^2-DB^2=1$ over a polynomial ring.

We show that this isoperimetric-type inequality is optimal in the sense that there are sets for which it fails to hold with the $L_4$ norm replaced by the $L_q$ norm for any $q<4$. This is in contrast to the $5$-dimensional setting, where the above result holds with the $L_4$ norm replaced by the $L_2$ norm. \u0000The proof of the aforementioned isoperimetric inequality introduces a new structural methodology for understanding the geometry of surfaces in $mathbb{H}$. In previous work (2017) we showed how to obtain a hierarchical decomposition of Ahlfors-regular surfaces into pieces that are approximately intrinsic Lipschitz graphs. Here we prove that any such graph admits a foliated corona decomposition, which is a family of nested partitions into pieces that are close to ruled surfaces. \u0000Apart from the intrinsic geometric and analytic significance of these results, which settle questions posed by Cheeger-Kleiner-Naor (2009) and Lafforgue-Naor (2012), they have several noteworthy implications, including the fact that the $L_1$ distortion of a word-ball of radius $nge 2$ in the discrete $3$-dimensional Heisenberg group is bounded above and below by universal constant multiples of $sqrt[4]{log n}$; this is in contrast to higher dimensional Heisenberg groups, where our previous work showed that the distortion of a word-ball of radius $nge 2$ is of order $sqrt{log n}$.","PeriodicalId":50895,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mathematica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2020-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48326012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method of construction follows the log (and b-Chow) approach to the standard double ramification cycle with canonical twists on the moduli space of curves [arXiv:1707.02261, arXiv:1711.10341, arXiv:1708.04471]. \u0000Our main result is a calculation of $mathsf{DR}^{mathsf{op}}_{g,A}$ on the Picard stack $mathfrak{Pic}_{g,n,d}$ via an appropriate interpretation of Pixton's formula in the tautological ring. The basic new tool used in the proof is the theory of double ramification cycles for target varieties [arXiv:1812.10136]. The formula on the Picard stack is obtained from [arXiv:1812.10136] for target varieties $mathbb{CP}^n$ in the limit $n rightarrow infty$. The result may be viewed as a universal calculation in Abel-Jacobi theory. \u0000As a consequence of the calculation of $mathsf{DR}^{mathsf{op}}_{g,A}$ on the Picard stack $mathfrak{Pic}_{g,n,d}$, we prove that the fundamental classes of the moduli spaces of twisted meromorphic differentials in $overline{mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ are exactly given by Pixton's formula (as conjectured in the appendix to [arXiv:1508.07940] and in [arXiv:1607.08429]). The comparison result of fundamental classes proven in [arXiv:1909.11981] plays a crucial role in our argument.
