Poincaré polynomials of moduli spaces of stable bundles over curves

Given a curve over a finite field, we compute the number of stable bundles of not necessarily coprime rank and degree over it. We apply this result to compute the virtual Poincaré polynomials of the moduli spaces of stable bundles over a curve. A similar formula for the virtual Hodge polynomials and motives is conjectured.     

The Hodge–Poincaré 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 G and such that ${X^{ss} \neq X_{(0)}^{s}\neq \emptyset}$ . We give formulae for the Hodge–Poincaré series of the quotient ${X_{(0)}^{s}/G}$ . We use these computations to obtain the corresponding formulae for the Hodge–Poincaré 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.     

Topological recursion for the Poincaré polynomial of the combinatorial moduli space of curves

We show that the Poincaré polynomial associated with the orbifold cell decomposition of the moduli space of smooth algebraic curves with distinct marked points satisfies a topological recursion formula of the Eynard–Orantin type. The recursion uniquely determines the Poincaré polynomials from the initial data. Our key discovery is that the Poincaré polynomial is the Laplace transform of the number of Grothendieck’s dessins d’enfants.     

Poincaré polynomials of moduli spaces of stable maps into flag manifolds

By using the Bialynicki-Birula decomposition and holomorphic Lefschetz formula, we calculate the Poincaré polynomials of the moduli spaces in low degrees.     

On Poincaré bundles of vector bundles on curves

An arbitrary cubic function field can have 0, 1, or 2 for its unit rank. This paper presents the complete classification of unit rank of an arbitrary cubic function field by its discriminant and the polynomial discriminant of its generating polynomial. The notions of Kummer Theory and Cardanos formula are used.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 11R27, 11R16Acknowledgement The author expresses her gratitude to the referee for very helpful comments.     

On the homotopy type of Poincaré spaces

We study the homotopy type of finite-oriented Poincaré spaces (and, in particular, of closed topological manifolds) in even dimension. Our results relate polarized homotopy types over a stage of the Postnikov tower with the concept of CW-tower of categories due to Baues. This fact allows us to obtain a new formula for the top-dimensional obstruction for extending maps to homotopy equivalences. Then we complete the paper with an algebraic characterization of high-dimensional handlebodies. Received: April 14, 1999?Published online: October 2, 2001     

Virtual Poincaré polynomial of the link of a real algebraic variety

The link of an affine real algebraic variety at a point is defined to be the intersection of the variety with a small sphere centred at the point. The Euler characteristic of the link leads to local topological characterisation of real algebraic varieties in law dimensions. We prove in the paper that not only the Euler characteristic, but also the stronger virtual Poincaré polynomial is well-defined for the link at a point of an affine algebraic variety.     

The degree of the Hilbert–Poincaré polynomial of PBW-graded modules

In this note, we study the Hilbert–Poincaré polynomials for the associated PBW-graded modules of simple modules for a simple complex Lie algebra. The computation of their degree can be reduced to modules of fundamental highest weight. We provide these degrees explicitly.     

On the moduli space of ’t Hooft bundles

We describe the moduli spaceM ₁ (c ₂) of 't Hooft bundles onP ³, that is instanton bundles having sections at the first twist. We prove that such a moduli space is a rational variety whose singular locus is the moduli space of special 't Hooft bundles studied in [HN]. It turns out thatM ₁ (c ₂) possesses a canonical desingularization provided by the projectivized of a vector bundle on the Hilbert schemeH of the space curves which correspond to 't Hooft bundles in the Serre construction. Moreover, we show that the connected components of such curves are lines or multiple lines, which are scheme-theoretically a product. On such multiple lines every vector bundle splits, and we are able to determine their normal bundle. This allows to reprove the smoothness ofH, already known from [C], and the smoothness ofM ₁, shown in [C] and [NT].

Sunto Si descrive lo spazio dei moduliM ₁ (c ₂) dei fibrati vettoriali di 't Hooft suP ³, cioè dei fibrati istantoni che ammettono una sezione lineare. Si dimostra che tale spazio è una varietà razionale il cui luogo singolare è costituito dai fibrati di 't Hooft speciali studiati in [HN]. Si trova, inoltre, una desingolarizzazione diM ₁ (c ₂) data da un aperto di un fibrato proiettivo sullo schema di Hilbert delle curve che sono luoghi degli zeri di sezioni lineari di fibrati di 't Hooft. Le componenti connesse di tali curve sono rette o rette multiple isomorfe a un prodotto. Questo risultato è conseguenza del fatto che ogni retta multiplaZ di genere aritmeticop _a (Z)≤1—deg (Z) fibrata in punti multipli curvilinei è schematicamente isomorfa al multiplo di una sezione di una opportuna superficie rigata razionale.

     

The radius of convergence of Poincaré series of loop spaces

LetR _S (resp.R _A) be the radius of convergence of the Poincaré series of a loop space (S) (resp. of the Betti-Poincaré series of a noetherian connected graded commutative algebraA over a field of characteristic zero).IfS is a finite 1-connected CW-complex, the rational homotopy Lie algebra ofS is finite dimensional if and only ifR _S-1. OtherwiseR _S<1.There is an easily computable upper bound (usually less than 1) forR _S ifS is formal or coformal.On the other handR _A=+ if and only ifA is a polynomial algebra andR _A=1 if and only ifA is a complete intersection (Golod and Gulliksen conjecture). OtherwiseR _A<1 and the sequence dim Tor _p ^H grows exponentially withp.     

Poincaré families and automorphisms of principal bundles on a curve

Let C be a smooth projective curve, and let G be a reductive algebraic group. We give a necessary condition, in terms of automorphism groups of principal G-bundles on C, for the existence of Poincaré families parameterized by Zariski-open parts of their coarse moduli schemes. Applications are given for the moduli spaces of orthogonal and symplectic bundles. To cite this article: I. Biswas, N. Hoffmann, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 347 (2009).     

Modulus and the Poincaré inequality on metric measure spaces

The purpose of this paper is to develop the understanding of modulus and the Poincaré inequality, as defined on metric measure spaces. Various definitions for modulus and capacity are shown to coincide for general collections of metric measure spaces. Consequently, modulus is shown to be upper semi-continuous with respect to the limit of a sequence of curve families contained in a converging sequence of metric measure spaces. Moreover, several competing definitions for the Poincaré inequality are shown to coincide, if the underlying measure is doubling. One such characterization considers only continuous functions and their continuous upper gradients, and extends work of Heinonen and Koskela. Applications include showing that the p-Poincaré inequality (with a doubling measure), for p1, persists through to the limit of a sequence of converging pointed metric measure spaces — this extends results of Cheeger. A further application is the construction of new doubling measures in Euclidean space which admit a 1-Poincaré inequality. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000):31C15, 46E35.     

The 2-factoriality of the O’Grady moduli spaces

The aim of this work is to show that the moduli space M ₁₀ introduced by O’Grady is a 2-factorial variety. Namely, M ₁₀ is the moduli space of semistable sheaves with Mukai vector v: = (2, 0, −2) in H^ev(X,\mathbbZ){H^{ev}(X,\mathbb{Z})} on a projective K3 surface X. As a corollary to our construction, we show that the Donaldson morphism gives a Hodge isometry between v^{^}{v^{\perp}} (sublattice of the Mukai lattice of X) and its image in H² ([(M)\tilde]₁₀, \mathbbZ){H^{2} (\widetilde{M}_{10}, \mathbb{Z})}, lattice with respect to the Beauville form of the 10-dimensional irreducible symplectic manifold [(M)\tilde]₁₀{\widetilde{M}_{10}}, obtained as symplectic resolution of M ₁₀. Similar results are shown for the moduli space M ₆ introduced by O’Grady to produce its 6-dimensional example of irreducible symplectic variety.

A Poincaré Cone Condition in the Poincaré Group

Ben Arous and Gradinaru (Potential Anal 8(3):217–258, 1998) described the singularity of the Green function of a general sub-elliptic diffusion. In this article we first adapt their proof to the more general context of a hypoelliptic diffusion. In a second time, we deduce a Wiener criterion and a Poincaré cone condition for a relativistic diffusion with values in the Poincaré group (i.e the group of affine direct isometries of the Minkowski space-time).

New Sobolev spaces via generalized Poincaré inequalities on metric measure spaces

In this paper, we introduce some new function spaces of Sobolev type on metric measure spaces. These new function spaces are defined by variants of Poincaré inequalities associated with generalized approximations of the identity, and they generalize the classical Sobolev spaces on Euclidean spaces. We then obtain two characterizations of these new Sobolev spaces including the characterization in terms of a variant of local sharp maximal functions associated with generalized approximations of the identity. For the well-known Hajłasz–Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces, we also establish some new characterizations related to generalized approximations of the identity. Finally, we clarify the relations between the Sobolev-type spaces introduced in this paper and the Hajłasz–Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces.     

Every finite complex is the classifying space for proper bundles of a virtual Poincaré duality group

We prove that every finite connected simplicial complex is homotopy equivalent to the quotient of a contractible manifold by proper actions of a virtually torsion-free group. As a corollary, we obtain that every finite connected simplicial complex is homotopy equivalent to the classifying space for proper bundles of some virtual Poincaré duality group.
