Graded rings of Hermitian modular forms with singularities

We study graded rings of meromorphic Hermitian modular forms of degree two whose poles are supported on an arrangement of Heegner divisors. For the group $$\mathrm {SU}_{2,2}({\mathcal {O}}_K)$$ SU 2 , 2 ( O K ) where K is the imaginary-quadratic number field of discriminant $$-d$$ - d , $$d \in \{4, 7,8,11,15,19,20,24\}$$ d ∈ { 4 , 7 , 8 , 11 , 15 , 19 , 20 , 24 } we obtain a polynomial algebra without relations. In particular the Looijenga compactifications of the arrangement complements are weighted projective spaces.

Equivariant stable sheaves and toric GIT

For $(X,\,L)$ a polarized toric variety and $G\subset \mathrm {Aut}(X,\,L)$ a torus, denote by $Y$ the GIT quotient $X/\!\!/G$ . We define a family of fully faithful functors from the category of torus equivariant reflexive sheaves on $Y$ to the category of torus equivariant reflexive sheaves on $X$ . We show, under a genericity assumption on $G$ , that slope stability is preserved by these functors if and only if the pair $((X,\,L),\,G)$ satisfies a combinatorial criterion. As an application, when $(X,\,L)$ is a polarized toric orbifold of dimension $n$ , we relate stable equivariant reflexive sheaves on certain $(n-1)$ -dimensional weighted projective spaces to stable equivariant reflexive sheaves on $(X,\,L)$ .

Inertia groups and smooth structures on quaternionic projective spaces

This paper deals with certain results on the number of smooth structures on quaternionic projective spaces, obtained through the computation of inertia groups and their analogues, which in turn are computed using techniques from stable homotopy theory. We show that the concordance inertia group is trivial in dimension 20, but there are many examples in high dimensions where the concordance inertia group is non-trivial. We extend these to computations of concordance classes of smooth structures. These have applications to 3-sphere actions on homotopy spheres and tangential homotopy structures.

Horrocks splitting on Segre–Veronese varieties

We prove an analogue of Horrocks’ splitting theorem for Segre–Veronese varieties building upon the theory of Tate resolutions on products of projective spaces.
