There is an abundance of examples showing that formal maps may diverge: After the trivial example of self-maps of a complex submanifold, possibly the simplest non-trivial example is given by the formal maps of (R, 0) into R which are just given by the formal power series in z∈C with real coefficients, that is, by elements of R[[z]]. It is a surprising fact at first that, for formal mappings between real submanifolds in complex spaces, if one assumes that the trivial examples above are excluded in a suitable sense, the situation is fundamentally different. The first result of this kind was encountered by Chern and Moser in [CM], where—as a byproduct of the convergence of their normal form—it follows that every formal holomorphic invertible map between Levinon-degenerate hypersurfaces in C necessarily converges. The convergence problem, that is, deciding whether formal maps, as described above, are in fact convergent, has been studied intensively in different contexts, both for CR manifolds and for manifolds with CR singularities, for which we refer the reader to the papers [Rot], [MMZ2], [LM1], [HY1], [HY2], [HY3], [Sto], [GS] and the references therein.

There is a trace map from algebraic $K$-theory to topological cyclic homology, and a theorem of Dundas--Goodwillie--McCarthy asserts that this induces an equivalence of relative theories for nilpotent immersions, which gives a way for computing $K$-theory in various situations. The construction of topological cyclic homology is based on genuine equivariant homotopy theory, the use of explicit point-set models, and the elaborate notion of a cyclotomic spectrum. The goal of this paper is to revisit this theory using only homotopy-invariant notions. In particular, we give a new construction of topological cyclic homology. This is based on a new definition of the $infty$-category of cyclotomic spectra: We define a cyclotomic spectrum to be a spectrum $X$ with $S^1$-action (in the most naive sense) together with $S^1$-equivariant maps $varphi_p: Xto X^{tC_p}$ for all primes $p$. Here $X^{tC_p}=mathrm{cofib}(mathrm{Nm}: X_{hC_p}to X^{hC_p})$ is the Tate construction. On bounded below spectra, we prove that this agrees with previous definitions. As a consequence, we obtain a new and simple formula for topological cyclic homology. In order to construct the maps $varphi_p: Xto X^{tC_p}$ in the example of topological Hochschild homology we introduce and study Tate diagonals for spectra and Frobenius homomorphisms of commutative ring spectra. In particular we prove a version of the Segal conjecture for the Tate diagonals and relate these Frobenius homomorphisms to power operations.","PeriodicalId":50895,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mathematica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138494786","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}

Shitov","doi":"10.4310/ACTA.2019.V222.N2.A3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4310/ACTA.2019.V222.N2.A3","url":null,"abstract":"The multiplicative complexity of systems of bilinear forms (and, in particular, the famous question of fast matrix multiplication) is an important area of research in modern theory of computation. One of the foundational papers on the topic is Strassen’s work [20], which contains an O(n 7/ ln ) algorithm for the multiplication of two n×n matrices. In his subsequent paper [21] published in 1973, Strassen asked whether the multiplicative complexity of the union of two bilinear systems depending on different variables is equal to the sum of the multiplicative complexities of both systems. A stronger version of this problem was proposed in the 1981 paper [10] by Feig and Winograd, who asked whether any optimal algorithm that computes such a pair of bilinear systems must compute each system separately. These questions became known as the direct sum conjecture and strong direct sum conjecture, respectively, and they were attracting a notable amount of attention during the four decades. As Feig and Winograd wrote, ‘either a proof of, or a counterexample to, the direct sum conjecture will be a major step forward in our understanding of complexity of systems of bilinear forms.’ The modern formulation of this conjecture is based on a natural representation of a bilinear system as a three-dimensional tensor, that is, an array of elements T (i|j|k) taken from a field F , where the triples (i, j, k) run over the Cartesian product of finite indexing sets I, J,K. A tensor T is called decomposable if T = a⊗b⊗c (which should be read as T (i|j|k) = aibjck), for some vectors a ∈ FI , b ∈ FJ , c ∈ FK . The rank of a tensor T , or the multiplicative complexity of the corresponding bilinear system, is the smallest r for which T can be written as a sum of r decomposable tensors with entries in F . We denote this quantity by rankF T , and we note that the rank of a tensor may change if one allows to take the entries of decomposable tensors as above from an extension of F , see [3]. Taking the union of two bilinear systems depending on disjoint sets of variables corresponds to the direct sum operation on tensors. More precisely, if T and T ′ are tensors with disjoint indexing sets I, I , J, J ,K,K , then we can define the direct sum T⊕T ′ as a tensor with indexing sets I ∪ I , J ∪ J , K ∪ K ′ such that the (I|J |K) block equals T and (I ′|J ′|K ) block equals T , and all entries outside of these blocks are zero. In other words, direct sums of tensors are a multidimensional analogue of block-diagonal matrices; a basic result of linear algebra says that the ranks of such matrices are equal to the sums of the ranks of their diagonal blocks. Strassen’s direct sum conjecture is a three-dimensional analogue of this statement.","PeriodicalId":50895,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mathematica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2017-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46675899","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}
