We define a variant of intersection space theory that applies to many compact complex and real analytic spaces [Formula: see text], including all complex projective varieties; this is a significant extension to a theory which has so far only been shown to apply to a particular subclass of spaces with smooth singular sets. We verify existence of these so-called algebraic intersection spaces and show that they are the (reduced) chain complexes of known topological intersection spaces in the case that both exist. We next analyze “local duality obstructions,” which we can choose to vanish, and verify that algebraic intersection spaces satisfy duality in the absence of these obstructions. We conclude by defining an untwisted algebraic intersection space pairing, whose signature is equal to the Novikov signature of the complement in [Formula: see text] of a tubular neighborhood of the singular set.

Let H ⊂ ℙn be a real-analytic subvariety of codimension one induced by a real-analytic curve in the Grassmannian G(n + 1, n). Assuming H has a global defining function, we prove H is Levi-flat, the closure of its smooth points of top dimension is a union of complex hyperplanes, and its singular set is either of dimension 2n - 2 or dimension 2n - 4. If the singular set is of dimension 2n - 4, then we show the hypersurface is algebraic and the Levi-foliation extends to a singular holomorphic foliation of ℙn with a meromorphic (rational of degree 1) first integral. In this case, H is in some sense simply a complex cone over an algebraic curve in ℙ1. Similarly if H has a degenerate singularity, then H is also algebraic. If the dimension of the singular set is 2n - 2 and is nondegenerate, we show by construction that the hypersurface need not be algebraic nor semialgebraic. We construct a Levi-flat real-analytic subvariety in ℙ2 of real codimension 1 with compact leaves that is not contained in any proper real-algebraic subvariety of ℙ2. Therefore a straightforward analogue of Chow's theorem for Levi-flat hypersurfaces does not hold.

AbstractWe prove the standard conjectures for complex projective varieties that are deformations of the Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 surface. The proof involves Verbitsky’s theory of hyperholomorphic sheaves and a study of the cohomology algebra of Hilbert schemes of K3 surfaces.

In the theory of automorphic functions it is important to investigate the properties of the singular sets of the properly discontinuous groups. But we seem to know nothing about the size or structure of the singular sets of Kleinian groups except the results due to Myrberg and Akaza [1], which state that the singular set has positive capacity and there exist Kleinian groups whose singular sets have positive 1-dimensional measure. In our recent paper [2], we proved the existence of Kleinian groups with fundamental domains bounded by five circles whose singular sets have positive 1-dimensional measure and presented the problem whether there exist or not such groups in the case of four circles. The purpose of this paper is to solve this problem. Here we note that, by Schottky’s condition [4], the 1-dimensional measure of the singular set is always zero in the case of three circles.

Abstract Let $(X,h)$ be a compact and irreducible Hermitian complex space. This paper is devoted to various questions concerning the analytic K-homology of $(X,h)$. In the 1st part, assuming either $\dim (\operatorname{sing}(X))=0$ or $\dim (X)=2$, we show that the rolled-up operator of the minimal $L^2$-$\overline{\partial }$ complex, denoted here $\overline{\eth }_{\textrm{rel}}$, induces a class in $K_0 (X)\equiv KK_0(C(X),\mathbb{C})$. A similar result, assuming $\dim (\operatorname{sing}(X))=0$, is proved also for $\overline{\eth }_{\textrm{abs}}$, the rolled-up operator of the maximal $L^2$-$\overline{\partial }$ complex. We then show that when $\dim (\operatorname{sing}(X))=0$ we have $[\overline{\eth }_{\textrm{rel}}]=\pi _*[\overline{\eth }_M]$ with $\pi :M\rightarrow X$ an arbitrary resolution and with $[\overline{\eth }_M]\in K_0 (M)$ the analytic K-homology class induced by $\overline{\partial }+\overline{\partial }^t$ on $M$. In the 2nd part of the paper we focus on complex projective varieties $(V,h)$ endowed with the Fubini–Study metric. First, assuming $\dim (V)\leq 2$, we compare the Baum–Fulton–MacPherson K-homology class of $V$ with the class defined analytically through the rolled-up operator of any $L^2$-$\overline{\partial }$ complex. We show that there is no $L^2$-$\overline{\partial }$ complex on $(\operatorname{reg}(V),h)$ whose rolled-up operator induces a K-homology class that equals the Baum–Fulton–MacPherson class. Finally in the last part of the paper we prove that under suitable assumptions on $V$ the push-forward of $[\overline{\eth }_{\textrm{rel}}]$ in the K-homology of the classifying space of the fundamental group of $V$ is a birational invariant.

We show that non-occurrence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon does not imply that the singular set is small. Precisely, given a compact Lebesgue null subsetE⊆ ℝ and an arbitrary superlinearity, there exists a smooth strictly convex Lagrangian with this superlinear growth such that all minimizers of the associated variational problem have singular set exactlyEbut still admit approximation in energy by smooth functions.
