The basepoint-freeness threshold of a very general abelian surface

For abelian surfaces of Picard rank 1, we perform explicit computations of the cohomological rank functions of the ideal sheaf of one point, and in particular of the basepoint-freeness threshold. Our main tool is the relation between cohomological rank functions and Bridgeland stability. In virtue of recent results of Caucci and Ito, these computations provide new information on the syzygies of polarized abelian surfaces.

Motivic and $$\ell $$-adic realizations of the category of singularities of the zero locus of a global section of a vector bundle

We study the motivic and $$\ell $$ ℓ -adic realizations of the dg category of singularities of the zero locus of a global section of a line bundle over a regular scheme. We will then use the formula obtained in this way together with a theorem due to D. Orlov and J. Burke–M. Walker to give a formula for the $$\ell $$ ℓ -adic realization of the dg category of singularities of the zero locus of a global section of a vector bundle. In particular, we obtain a formula for the $$\ell $$ ℓ -adic realization of the dg category of singularities of the special fiber of a scheme over a regular local ring of dimension n.

Generalized negligible morphisms and their tensor ideals

We introduce a generalization of the notion of a negligible morphism and study the associated tensor ideals and thick ideals. These ideals are defined by considering deformations of a given monoidal category $${\mathcal {C}}$$ C over a local ring R. If the maximal ideal of R is generated by a single element, we show that any thick ideal of $${\mathcal {C}}$$ C admits an explicitly given modified trace function. As examples we consider various Deligne categories and the categories of tilting modules for a quantum group at a root of unity and for a semisimple, simply connected algebraic group in prime characteristic. We prove an elementary geometric description of the thick ideals in quantum type A and propose a similar one in the modular case.

On BGG resolutions of unitary modules for quiver Hecke and Cherednik algebras

We provide a homological construction of unitary simple modules of Cherednik and Hecke algebras of type A via BGG resolutions, solving a conjecture of Berkesch–Griffeth–Sam. We vastly generalize the conjecture and its solution to cyclotomic Cherednik and Hecke algebras over arbitrary ground fields, and calculate the Betti numbers and Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of certain symmetric linear subspace arrangements.
