Tautological integrals on Hilbert scheme of points II: Geometric subsets

We develop a formula for tautological integrals over geometric subsets of the Hilbert scheme of points on complex manifolds. As an illustration of the theory, we derive a new iterated residue formula for the number of nodal curves in sufficiently ample linear systems.Comment: 47 pages.

Arithmetic and metric aspects of open de Rham spaces

In this paper we determine the motivic class---in particular, the weight polynomial and conjecturally the Poincar\'e polynomial---of the open de Rham space, defined and studied by Boalch, of certain moduli of irregular meromorphic connections on the trivial bundle on $\mathbb{P}^1$. The computation is by motivic Fourier transform. We show that the result satisfies the purity conjecture, that is, it agrees with the pure part of the conjectured mixed Hodge polynomial of the corresponding wild character variety. We also identify the open de Rham spaces with quiver varieties with multiplicities of Yamakawa and Geiss--Leclerc--Schr\"oer. We finish with constructing natural complete hyperk\"ahler metrics on them, which in the $4$-dimensional cases are expected to be of type ALF.Comment: 69 page

Singularities

Singularity theory is a central part of contemporary mathematics. It is concerned with the local and global structure of maps and spaces that occur in algebraic, analytic or differential geometric context. For its study it uses methods from algebra, topology, algebraic geometry and complex analysis

Number Theory, Analysis and Geometry: In Memory of Serge Lang

Serge Lang was an iconic figure in mathematics, both for his own important work and for the indelible impact he left on the field of mathematics, on his students, and on his colleagues. Over the course of his career, Lang traversed a tremendous amount of mathematical ground. As he moved from subject to subject, he found analogies that led to important questions in such areas as number theory, arithmetic geometry and the theory of negatively curved spaces. Lang's conjectures will keep many mathematicians occupied far into the future. In the spirit of Lang’s vast contribution to mathematics, this memorial volume contains articles by prominent mathematicians in a variety of areas, namely number theory, analysis and geometry, representing Lang’s own breadth of interests. A special introduction by John Tate includes a brief and engaging account of Serge Lang’s life
