International audience We prove that the affine cone over a general primitively polarised K3 surface of genus g is smoothable if and only if g ≤ 10 or g = 12. We also give several examples of singularities with special behaviour, such as surfaces whose affine cone is smoothable even though the projective cone is not. Nous montrons que le cône affine sur une surface K3 primitivement polarisée générale de genre g est lissable si et seulement si g≤ 10 ou g = 12. Nous exhibons également plusieurs exemples de singularités affichant des comportements spécifiques, tels que des surfaces dont le cône affine est lissable alors même que le cône projectif ne l'est pas.

International audience We investigate the homogeneous symmetric Macdonald polynomials $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,t)$ for the specialization $t=q^k$. We show an identity relying the polynomials $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$ and $P_{\lambda} (\frac{1-q}{1-q^k}\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$. As a consequence, we describe an operator whose eigenvalues characterize the polynomials $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$. Nous nous intéressons aux propriétés des polynômes de Macdonald symétriques $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,t)$ pour la spécialisation $t=q^k$. En particulier nous montrons une égalité reliant les polynômes $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$ et $P_{\lambda} (\frac{1-q}{1-q^k}\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$. Nous en déduisons la description d'un opérateur dont les valeurs propres caractérisent les polynômes $P_{\lambda} (\mathbb{X} ;q,q^k)$.

Derived Equivalences

Derived equivalences of twisted K3 surfaces induce twisted Hodge isometries between them; that is, isomorphisms of their cohomologies which respect certain natural lattice structures and Hodge structures. We prove a criterion for when a given Hodge isometry arises in this way. In particular, we describe the image of the representation which associates to any autoequivalence of a twisted K3 surface its realization in cohomology: this image is a subgroup of index $1$or $2$in the group of all Hodge isometries of the twisted K3 surface. We show that both indices can occur.

Abstract We generalize Mukai and Shafarevich’s definitions of isogenies between K3 surfaces over ${\mathbb{C}}$ to an arbitrary perfect field and describe how to construct isogenous K3 surfaces over $\bar{{\mathbb{F}}}_p$ by prescribing linear algebraic data when $p$ is large. The main step is to show that isogenies between Kuga–Satake abelian varieties induce isogenies between K3 surfaces, in the context of integral models of Shimura varieties. As a byproduct, we show that every K3 surface of finite height admits a CM lifting under a mild assumption on $p$.

Recently Calabi–Yau threefolds have been studied intensively by physicists and mathematicians. They are used as physical models of superstring theory [Y] and they are one of the building blocks in the classification of complex threefolds [KMM]. These are three dimensional analogues of K3 surfaces. However, there is a fundamental difference as is to be expected. For K3 surfaces, the moduli space N of K3 surfaces is irreducible of dimension 20, inside which a countable number of families Ng with g [ges ] 2 of algebraic K3 surfaces of dimension 19 lie as a dense subset. More explicitly, an element in Ng is (S, H), where S is a K3 surface and H is a primitive ample divisor on S with H2 = 2g − 2. For a generic (S, H), Pic (S) is generated by H, so that the rank of the Picard group of S is 1. A generic surface S in N is not algebraic and it has Pic (S) = 0, but dim N = h1(S, TS) = 20 [BPV]. It is quite an interesting problem whether or not the moduli space M of all Calabi–Yau threefolds is irreducible in some sense [R]. A Calabi–Yau threefold is algebraic if and only if it is Kaehler, while every non-algebraic K3 surface is still Kaehler. Inspired by the K3 case, we define Mh,d to be {(X, H)[mid ]H3 = h, c2(X) · H = d}, where H is a primitive ample divisor on a smooth Calabi–Yau threefold X. There are two parameters h, d for algebraic Calabi–Yau threefolds, while there is only one parameter g for algebraic K3 surfaces. (Note that c2(S) = 24 for every K3 surface.) We know that Ng is of dimension 19 for every g and is irreducible but we do not know the dimension of Mh,d and whether or not Mh,d is irreducible. In fact, the dimension of Mh,d = h1(X, TX), where (X, H) ∈ Mh,d. Furthermore, it is well known that χ(X) = 2 (rank of Pic (X) − h1(X, TX)), where χ(X) is the topological Euler characteristic of X. Calabi–Yau threefolds with Picard rank one are primitive [G] and play an important role in the moduli spaces of all Calabi–Yau threefolds. In this paper we give a bound on c3 of Calabi–Yau threefolds with Picard rank 1.

International audience Let $W \ltimes L$ be an irreducible affine Weyl group with Coxeter complex $\Sigma$, where $W$ denotes the associated finite Weyl group and $L$ the translation subgroup. The Steinberg torus is the Boolean cell complex obtained by taking the quotient of $\Sigma$ by the lattice $L$. We show that the ordinary and flag $h$-polynomials of the Steinberg torus (with the empty face deleted) are generating functions over $W$ for a descent-like statistic first studied by Cellini. We also show that the ordinary $h$-polynomial has a nonnegative $\gamma$-vector, and hence, symmetric and unimodal coefficients. In the classical cases, we also provide expansions, identities, and generating functions for the $h$-polynomials of Steinberg tori. Nous considérons un groupe de Weyl affine irréductible $W \ltimes L$ avec complexe de Coxeter $\Sigma$, où $W$ désigne le groupe de Weyl fini associé et $L$ le sous-groupe des translations. Le tore de Steinberg est le complexe cellulaire Booléen obtenu comme le quotient de $\Sigma$ par $L$. Nous montrons que les $h$-polynômes, ordinaires et de drapeaux, du tore de Steinberg (sans la face vide) sont des fonctions génératrices sur $W$ pour une statistique de type descente, étudiée en premier lieu par Cellini. Nous montrons également qu'un $h$-polynôme ordinaire possède un $\gamma$-vecteur positif, et par conséquent, a des coefficients symétriques et unimodaux. Dans les cas classiques, nous donnons également des développements, des identités et des fonctions génératrices pour les $h$-polynômes des tores de Steinberg.

International audience In this extended abstract we consider mixed volumes of combinations of hypersimplices. These numbers, called mixed Eulerian numbers, were first considered by A. Postnikov and were shown to satisfy many properties related to Eulerian numbers, Catalan numbers, binomial coefficients, etc. We give a general combinatorial interpretation for mixed Eulerian numbers and prove the above properties combinatorially. In particular, we show that each mixed Eulerian number enumerates a certain set of permutations in $S_n$. We also prove several new properties of mixed Eulerian numbers using our methods. Finally, we consider a type $B$ analogue of mixed Eulerian numbers and give an analogous combinatorial interpretation for these numbers. Dans ce résumé étendu nous considérons les volumes mixtes de combinaisons d’hyper-simplexes. Ces nombres, appelés les nombres Eulériens mixtes, ont été pour la première fois étudiés par A. Postnikov, et il a été montré qu’ils satisfont à de nombreuses propriétés reliées aux nombres Eulériens, au nombres de Catalan, aux coefficients binomiaux, etc. Nous donnons une interprétation combinatoire générale des nombres Eulériens mixtes, et nous prouvons combinatoirement les propriétés mentionnées ci-dessus. En particulier, nous montrons que chaque nombre Eulérien mixte compte les éléments d’un certain sous-ensemble de l’ensemble des permutations $S_n$. Nous établissons également plusieurs nouvelles propriétés des nombres Eulériens mixtes grâce à notre méthode. Pour finir, nous introduisons une généralisation en type $B$ des nombres Eulériens mixtes, et nous en donnons une interprétation combinatoire analogue.

The Relationship

International audience A <i>parametrization</i> of a positroid variety $\Pi$ of dimension $d$ is a regular map $(\mathbb{C}^{\times})^{d} \rightarrow \Pi$ which is birational onto a dense subset of $\Pi$. There are several remarkable combinatorial constructions which yield parametrizations of positroid varieties. We investigate the relationship between two families of such parametrizations, and prove they are essentially the same. Our first family is defined in terms of Postnikov’s <i>boundary measurement map</i>, and the domain of each parametrization is the space of edge weights of a planar network. We focus on a special class of planar networks called <i>bridge graphs</i>, which have applications to particle physics. Our second family arises from Marsh and Rietsch’s parametrizations of Deodhar components of the flag variety, which are indexed by certain subexpressions of reduced words. Projecting to the Grassmannian gives a family of parametrizations for each positroid variety. We show that each Deodhar parametrization for a positroid variety corresponds to a bridge graph, while each parametrization from a bridge graph agrees with some projected Deodhar parametrization. Soit $\Pi$ une variété positroïde. Nous appellerons <i>paramétrisation</i> toute application régulière $(\mathbb{C}^{\times})^{d} \rightarrow \Pi$ qui est un isomorphisme birégulier sur un sous-ensemble dense de $\Pi$. On sait que plusieurs constructions combinatoires donnent des paramétrisations intéressantes. Le but du présent article est d’investiguer deux familles de telles paramétrisations et de montrer, essentiellement, qu’elles coïncident. La première famille trouve son origine dans la <i>fonction de mesure des bords</i> de Postnikov. Le domaine de chaque paramétrisation est en ce cas-ci l’ensemble de poids des arêtes d’un réseau planaire pondéré. Nous nous concentrons sur une classe particulière de réseaux planaires, les <i>graphes de ponts</i>, ayant des applications à la physique subatomique. La deuxième famille provient des paramétrisations de Marsh et de Rietsch des composantes de Deodhar (indexées par certaines sous-expressions de mots réduits de permutations) de la variété de drapeaux. On obtient alors des paramétrisations de cellules de positroïdes en appliquant la projection à la grassmannienne. Nous montrons que chaque paramétrisation de Deodhar correspond à un graphe de ponts; d’autre part, chaque paramétrisation provenant d’un graphe de ponts s’accorde avec quelque paramétrisation de Deodhar.

International audience We study equations in groups $G$ with unique $m$-th roots for each positive integer $m$. A word equation in two letters is an expression of the form$ w(X,A) = B$, where $w$ is a finite word in the alphabet ${X,A}$. We think of $A,B ∈G$ as fixed coefficients, and $X ∈G$ as the unknown. Certain word equations, such as $XAXAX=B$, have solutions in terms of radicals: $X = A^-1/2(A^1/2BA^1/2)^1/3A^-1/2$, while others such as $X^2 A X = B$ do not. We obtain the first known infinite families of word equations not solvable by radicals, and conjecture a complete classification. To a word w we associate a polynomial $P_w ∈ℤ[x,y]$ in two commuting variables, which factors whenever $w$ is a composition of smaller words. We prove that if $P_w(x^2,y^2)$ has an absolutely irreducible factor in $ℤ[x,y]$, then the equation $w(X,A)=B$ is not solvable in terms of radicals. Nous étudions des équations dans les groupes $G$ avec les $m$-th racines uniques pour chaque nombre entier positif m. Une équation de mot dans deux lettres est une expression de la forme $w(X, A) = B$, où $w$ est un mot fini dans l'alphabet ${X, A}$. Nous pensons $A, B ∈G$ en tant que coefficients fixes, et $X ∈G$ en tant que inconnu. Certaines équations de mot, telles que $XAXAX=B$, ont des solutions en termes de radicaux: $X = A^-1/2(A^1/2BA^1/2)^1/3A^-1/2$, alors que d'autres tel que $X^2 A X = B$ ne font pas. Nous obtenons les familles infinies d'abord connues des équations de mot non solubles par des radicaux, et conjecturons une classification complété. Á un mot $w$ nous associons un polynôme $P_w ∈ℤ[x, y]$ dans deux variables de permutation, qui factorise toutes les fois que $w$ est une composition de plus petits mots. Nous montrons que si $P_w(x^2, y^2)$ a un facteur absolument irréductible dans $ℤ[x, y]$, alors l'équation $w(X, A)=B$ n'est pas soluble en termes de radicaux.
