Abstract Classical Serre–Tate theory describes deformations of ordinary abelian varieties. It implies that every such variety has a canonical lift to characteristic zero and equips the base of its universal deformation with a Frobenius lifting and canonical multiplicative coordinates. A variant of this theory has been obtained for ordinary K3 surfaces by Nygaard and Ogus. In this paper, we construct canonical liftings modulo p 2 {p^{2}} of varieties with trivial canonical class which are ordinary in the weak sense that the Frobenius acts bijectively on the top cohomology of the structure sheaf. Consequently, we obtain a Frobenius lifting on the moduli space of such varieties. The quite explicit construction uses Frobenius splittings and a relative version of Witt vectors of length two. If the variety has unobstructed deformations and bijective first higher Hasse–Witt operation, the Frobenius lifting gives rise to canonical coordinates. One of the key features of our liftings is that the crystalline Frobenius preserves the Hodge filtration. We also extend Nygaard’s approach from K3 surfaces to higher dimensions, and show that no non-trivial families of such varieties exist over simply connected bases with no global one-forms.

A degeneration of K3 surfaces (over the complex number field) is a proper holomorphic map π: X→Δ from a three dimensional complex manifold to a disc, such that, for t ≠ 0, the fibres Xt = π-1(t) are smooth K3 surfaces (i.e. surfaces Xt with trivial canonical class KXt = 0 and dim H1(Xt, Oxt) = 0).

AbstractGiven a semidirect product G = N ⋊ H where N is nilpotent, connected, simply connected and normal in G and where H is a vector group for which ad() is completely reducible and R-split, let τ denote the quasiregular representation of G in L2(N). An element ψ ∈ L2(N) is said to be admissible if the wavelet transform f ⟼ 〈 f, τ(·)ψ 〉 defines an isometry from L2(N) into L2(G). In this paper we give an explicit construction of admissible vectors in the case where G is not unimodular and the stabilizers in H of its action on are almost everywhere trivial. In this situation we prove orthogonality relations and we construct an explicit decomposition of L2(G) into G-invariant, multiplicity-free subspaces each of which is the image of a wavelet transform . We also show that, with the assumption of (almost-everywhere) trivial stabilizers, non-unimodularity is necessary for the existence of admissible vectors.

AbstractAn explicit construction of a pre-quantumline bundle for themoduli space of flat G-bundles over a Riemann surface is given, where G is any non-simply connected compact simple Lie group. This work helps to explain a curious coincidence previously observed between Toledano Laredo's work classifying central extensions of loop groups LG and the author's previous work on the obstruction to pre-quantization of the moduli space of flat G-bundles.

The method of spectral decimation is applied to an infinite collection of self-similar fractals. The sets considered are a generalization of the Sierpinski Gasket to higher dimensions; they belong to the class of nested fractals and are thus very symmetric. An explicit construction is given to obtain formulas for the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator acting on these fractals.

AbstractA method is presented for the explicit construction of the non-dimensional constant occurring in Korn’s inequalities for a bounded two-dimensional Riemannian differentiable simply connected manifold subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. The method is illustrated by application to the spherical cap and minimal surface.

Let $\overline{X}$ be a separated scheme of finite type over a field $k$ and $D$ a non-reduced effective Cartier divisor on it. We attach to the pair $(\overline{X},D)$ a cycle complex with modulus, those homotopy groups – called higher Chow groups with modulus – generalize additive higher Chow groups of Bloch–Esnault, Rülling, Park and Krishna–Levine, and that sheafified on $\overline{X}_{\text{Zar}}$ gives a candidate definition for a relative motivic complex of the pair, that we compute in weight $1$ . When $\overline{X}$ is smooth over $k$ and $D$ is such that $D_{\text{red}}$ is a normal crossing divisor, we construct a fundamental class in the cohomology of relative differentials for a cycle satisfying the modulus condition, refining El Zein’s explicit construction of the fundamental class of a cycle. This is used to define a natural regulator map from the relative motivic complex of $(\overline{X},D)$ to the relative de Rham complex. When $\overline{X}$ is defined over $\mathbb{C}$ , the same method leads to the construction of a regulator map to a relative version of Deligne cohomology, generalizing Bloch’s regulator from higher Chow groups. Finally, when $\overline{X}$ is moreover connected and proper over $\mathbb{C}$ , we use relative Deligne cohomology to define relative intermediate Jacobians with modulus $J_{\overline{X}|D}^{r}$ of the pair $(\overline{X},D)$ . For $r=\dim \overline{X}$ , we show that $J_{\overline{X}|D}^{r}$ is the universal regular quotient of the Chow group of $0$ -cycles with modulus.

AbstractFontaine described the category of formal groups over the ring of Witt vectors over a finite field of characteristic p with the aid of triples consisting of the module of logarithms, the Dieudonné module, and the morphism from the former to the latter. We propose an explicit construction for the kernels in this category in term of Fontaine's triples. The construction is applied to the formal norm homomorphism in the case of an unramified extension of ℚp and of a totally ramiûed extension of degree less or equal than p. A similar consideration applied to a global extension allows us to establish the existence of a strict isomorphism between the formal norm torus and a formal group law coming from L-series.

A Kummer surface is the minimal desingularization of the surface T/i, where T is a complex torus of dimension 2 and i the involution automorphism on T. T is an abelian surface if and only if its associated Kummer surface is algebraic. Kummer surfaces are among classical examples of K3-surfaces (which are simply-connected smooth surfaces with a nowhere-vanishing holomorphic 2-form), and play a crucial role in the theory of K3-surfaces. In a sense, all Kummer surfaces (resp. algebraic Kummer surfaces) form a 4 (resp. 3)-dimensional subset in the 20 (resp. 19)-dimensional family of K3-surfaces (resp. algebraic K3 surfaces).
