An inverse function theorem in Fréchet-Spaces
AbstractA technical inverse function theorem of Nash-Moser type is proved for maps between Fréchet spaces allowing smoothing operators. A counterexample shows that the growth requirements on the rightinverse of the linearized map needed are minimal
The Quantum McKay Correspondence for polyhedral singularities
Let G be a polyhedral group, namely a finite subgroup of SO(3). Nakamura's
G-Hilbert scheme provides a preferred Calabi-Yau resolution Y of the polyhedral
singularity C^3/G. The classical McKay correspondence describes the classical
geometry of Y in terms of the representation theory of G. In this paper we
describe the quantum geometry of Y in terms of R, an ADE root system associated
to G. Namely, we give an explicit formula for the Gromov-Witten partition
function of Y as a product over the positive roots of R. In terms of counts of
BPS states (Gopakumar-Vafa invariants), our result can be stated as a
correspondence: each positive root of R corresponds to one half of a genus zero
BPS state. As an application, we use the crepant resolution conjecture to
provide a full prediction for the orbifold Gromov-Witten invariants of [C^3/G].Comment: Introduction rewritten. Issue regarding non-uniqueness of conifold

Proof of the Hyperplane Zeros Conjecture of Lagarias and Wang
We prove that a real analytic subset of a torus group that is contained in
its image under an expanding endomorphism is a finite union of translates of
closed subgroups. This confirms the hyperplane zeros conjecture of Lagarias and
Wang for real analytic varieties. Our proof uses real analytic geometry,
topological dynamics and Fourier analysis.Comment: 25 page
Differential Forms on Log Canonical Spaces
The present paper is concerned with differential forms on log canonical
varieties. It is shown that any p-form defined on the smooth locus of a variety
with canonical or klt singularities extends regularly to any resolution of
singularities. In fact, a much more general theorem for log canonical pairs is
established. The proof relies on vanishing theorems for log canonical varieties
and on methods of the minimal model program. In addition, a theory of
differential forms on dlt pairs is developed. It is shown that many of the
fundamental theorems and techniques known for sheaves of logarithmic
differentials on smooth varieties also hold in the dlt setting.
Immediate applications include the existence of a pull-back map for reflexive
differentials, generalisations of Bogomolov-Sommese type vanishing results, and
a positive answer to the Lipman-Zariski conjecture for klt spaces.Comment: 72 pages, 6 figures. A shortened version of this paper has appeared

Sur les exposants de Lyapounov des applications meromorphes
Let f be a dominating meromorphic self-map of a compact Kahler manifold. We
give an inequality for the Lyapounov exponents of some ergodic measures of f
using the metric entropy and the dynamical degrees of f. We deduce the
hyperbolicity of some measures.Comment: 27 pages, paper in french, final version: to appear in Inventiones
