    Degeneration of Hodge structures over Picard modular surfaces

    Full text link
    We study variations of Hodge structures over a Picard modular surface, and compute the weights and types of their degenerations through the cusps of the Baily-Borel compactification. The main tool is a theorem of Burgos and Wildeshaus.Comment: final versio

    On the optimization of conservation law models at a junction with inflow and flow distribution controls

    Get PDF
    The paper proposes a general framework to analyze control problems for conservation law models on a network. Namely we consider a general class of junction distribution controls and inflow controls and we establish the compactness in L1L^1 of a class of flux-traces of solutions. We then derive the existence of solutions for two optimization problems: (I) the maximization of an integral functional depending on the flux-traces of solutions evaluated at points of the incoming and outgoing edges; (II) the minimization of the total variation of the optimal solutions of problem (I). Finally we provide an equivalent variational formulation of the min-max problem (II) and we discuss some numerical simulations for a junction with two incoming and two outgoing edges.Comment: 29 pages, 14 figure

    Algebraic classes in mixed characteristic and Andr\'e's p-adic periods

    Full text link
    Motivated by the study of algebraic classes in mixed characteristic we define a countable subalgebra of Qˉp\bar{\mathbb{Q}}_p which we call the algebra of Andr\'e's pp-adic periods. We construct a tannakian framework to study these periods. In particular, we bound their transcendence degree and formulate the analog of the Grothendieck period conjecture. We exhibit several examples where special values of classical pp-adic functions appear as Andr\'e's pp-adic periods and we relate these new conjectures to some classical problems on algebraic classes.Comment: Comments welcome

    The Hilbert symbol in the Hodge standard conjecture

    Full text link
    We study the Hodge standard conjecture for varieties over finite fields admitting a CM lifting, such as abelian varieties or products of K3 surfaces. For those varieties we show that the signature predicted by the conjecture holds true modulo 44. This amounts to determining the discriminant and the Hilbert symbol of the intersection product. The first is obtained by â„“\ell-adic arguments whereas the second needs a careful computation in pp-adic Hodge theory.Comment: minor modifications; 29 pages, 1 figur

    Semantic Subtyping for Non-Strict Languages

    Get PDF
    Semantic subtyping is an approach to define subtyping relations for type systems featuring union and intersection type connectives. It has been studied only for strict languages, and it is unsound for non-strict semantics. In this work, we study how to adapt this approach to non-strict languages: in particular, we define a type system using semantic subtyping for a functional language with a call-by-need semantics. We do so by introducing an explicit representation for divergence in the types, so that the type system distinguishes expressions that are results from those which are computations that might diverge
