The Hodge--Poincar\'e polynomial of the moduli spaces of stable vector bundles over an algebraic curve
Let X be a nonsingular complex projective variety that is acted on by a
reductive group and such that . We
give formulae for the Hodge--Poincar\'e series of the quotient .
We use these computations to obtain the corresponding formulae for the
Hodge--Poincar\'e polynomial of the moduli space of properly stable vector
bundles when the rank and the degree are not coprime. We compute explicitly the
case in which the rank equals 2 and the degree is even.Comment: Final published version. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

On Nori's Fundamental Group Scheme
We determine the quotient category which is the representation category of
the kernel of the homomorphism from Nori's fundamental group scheme to its
\'etale and local parts. Pierre Deligne pointed out an error in the first
version of this article. We profoundly thank him, in particular for sending us
his enlightning example reproduced in Remark 2.4 2).Comment: 29 page
Holomorphic Supercurves and Supersymmetric Sigma Models
We introduce a natural generalisation of holomorphic curves to morphisms of
supermanifolds, referred to as holomorphic supercurves. More precisely,
supercurves are morphisms from a Riemann surface, endowed with the structure of
a supermanifold which is induced by a holomorphic line bundle, to an ordinary
almost complex manifold. They are called holomorphic if a generalised
Cauchy-Riemann condition is satisfied. We show, by means of an action identity,
that holomorphic supercurves are special extrema of a supersymmetric action
functional.Comment: 30 page
Forgetful maps between Deligne-Mostow ball quotients
We study forgetful maps between Deligne-Mostow moduli spaces of weighted
points on P^1, and classify the forgetful maps that extend to a map of
orbifolds between the stable completions. The cases where this happens include
the Livn\'e fibrations and the Mostow/Toledo maps between complex hyperbolic
surfaces. They also include a retraction of a 3-dimensional ball quotient onto
one of its 1-dimensional totally geodesic complex submanifolds
Non-Abelian statistics versus the Witten anomaly
This paper is motivated by prospects for non-Abelian statistics of deconfined
particle-like objects in 3+1 dimensions, realized as solitons with localized
Majorana zeromodes. To this end, we study the fermionic collective coordinates
of magnetic monopoles in 3+1 dimensional spontaneously-broken SU(2) gauge
theories with various spectra of fermions. We argue that a single Majorana
zeromode of the monopole is not compatible with cancellation of the Witten
SU(2) anomaly. We also compare this approach with other attempts to realize
deconfined non-Abelian objects in 3+1 dimensions.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures; v2: added refs, minor corrections, published

A representation formula for maps on supermanifolds
In this paper we analyze the notion of morphisms of rings of superfunctions
which is the basic concept underlying the definition of supermanifolds as
ringed spaces (i.e. following Berezin, Leites, Manin, etc.). We establish a
representation formula for all morphisms from the algebra of functions on an
ordinary manifolds to the superalgebra of functions on an open subset of
R^{p|q}. We then derive two consequences of this result. The first one is that
we can integrate the data associated with a morphism in order to get a (non
unique) map defined on an ordinary space (and uniqueness can achieved by
restriction to a scheme). The second one is a simple and intuitive recipe to
compute pull-back images of a function on a manifold by a map defined on a
superspace.Comment: 23 page
Exponential sums with coefficients of certain Dirichlet series
Under the generalized Lindel\"of Hypothesis in the t- and q-aspects, we bound
exponential sums with coefficients of Dirichlet series belonging to a certain
class. We use these estimates to establish a conditional result on squares of
Hecke eigenvalues at Piatetski-Shapiro primes.Comment: 13 page
Large-time Behavior of Solutions to the Inflow Problem of Full Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations
Large-time behavior of solutions to the inflow problem of full compressible
Navier-Stokes equations is investigated on the half line .
The wave structure which contains four waves: the transonic(or degenerate)
boundary layer solution, 1-rarefaction wave, viscous 2-contact wave and
3-rarefaction wave to the inflow problem is described and the asymptotic
stability of the superposition of the above four wave patterns to the inflow
problem of full compressible Navier-Stokes equations is proven under some
smallness conditions. The proof is given by the elementary energy analysis
based on the underlying wave structure. The main points in the proof are the
degeneracies of the transonic boundary layer solution and the wave interactions
in the superposition wave.Comment: 27 page
The Tate conjecture for K3 surfaces over finite fields
Artin's conjecture states that supersingular K3 surfaces over finite fields
have Picard number 22. In this paper, we prove Artin's conjecture over fields
of characteristic p>3. This implies Tate's conjecture for K3 surfaces over
finite fields of characteristic p>3. Our results also yield the Tate conjecture
for divisors on certain holomorphic symplectic varieties over finite fields,
with some restrictions on the characteristic. As a consequence, we prove the
Tate conjecture for cycles of codimension 2 on cubic fourfolds over finite
fields of characteristic p>3.Comment: 20 pages, minor changes. Theorem 4 is stated in greater generality,
but proofs don't change. Comments still welcom
