Noetherianity up to conjugation of locally diagonal inverse limits
We prove that the inverse limit of the sequence dual to a sequence of Lie
algebras is Noetherian up to the action of the direct limit of the
corresponding sequence of classical algebraic groups when the sequence of
groups consists of diagonal embeddings. We also classify all conjugation-stable
closed subsets of the space of matrices.Comment: 43 pages, final revisio
A note on ED degrees of group-stable subvarieties in polar representations
In a recent paper, Drusvyatskiy, Lee, Ottaviani, and Thomas establish a
"transfer principle" by means of which the Euclidean distance degree of an
orthogonally-stable matrix variety can be computed from the Euclidean distance
degree of its intersection with a linear subspace. We generalise this
principle

Detection of steam in the circumstellar disk around a massive Young Stellar Object
We report on the observation of hot water vapor (steam) in the inner AU of a
young massive star located in the star-forming region IRAS 08576-4334. The
water lines are detected in a medium resolution (R=10,000) K-band spectrum
taken by the infrared spectrometer ISAAC mounted on the VLT-ANTU. The water
vapor is at a mean temperature of 1565+/-510 K, cooler than the hot CO found in
the same object, which is at 1660K and the column density is N(H2O)=(2.5 +/-
0.4)x1E18 cm-2. The profile of both H2O and CO lines is best reproduced by the
emission from a Keplerian disk. To interpret the data, we also investigate the
formation of molecules and especially CO and water vapor in the inner hot and
dense part of disks around young high mass stars using a pseudo time-dependent
gas-phase chemical model. Molecules are rapidly photodissociated but this
destruction is compensated by an efficient formation due to fast
neutral-neutral reactions. The ability of CO molecules to self-shield
significantly enhances its abundance. Water molecules are sufficiently abundant
to be detectable. The observed H2O/CO ratio is reproduced by gas at 1600K and
an enhanced UV field over gas density ratio I_UV/nH=1E(-4)- 1E(-6). The
simulations support the presence of CO and H2O molecules in the inner disks
around young massive stars despite the strong UV radiation and show that the OH
radical plays an essential role in hot gas chemistry.Comment: 15 pages, 11 figures, Accepted to A&
Polynomials and tensors of bounded strength
Notions of rank abound in the literature on tensor decomposition. We prove
that strength, recently introduced for homogeneous polynomials by
Ananyan-Hochster in their proof of Stillman's conjecture and generalised here
to other tensors, is universal among these ranks in the following sense: any
non-trivial Zariski-closed condition on tensors that is functorial in the
underlying vector space implies bounded strength. This generalises a theorem by
Derksen-Eggermont-Snowden on cubic polynomials, as well as a theorem by
Kazhdan-Ziegler which says that a polynomial all of whose directional
derivatives have bounded strength must itself have bounded strength.Comment: Improved the bounds on strength as a function of the dimension of the
space where one first sees nontrivial equations for the tensor property
