On irregular binomial D-modules

We prove that a holonomic binomial D-module M _A (I, β) is regular if and only if certain associated primes of I determined by the parameter vector ${\beta\in \mathbb{C}^d}$ are homogeneous. We further describe the slopes of M _A (I, β) along a coordinate subspace in terms of the known slopes of some related hypergeometric D-modules that also depend on β. When the parameter β is generic, we also compute the dimension of the generic stalk of the irregularity of M _A (I, β) along a coordinate hyperplane and provide some remarks about the construction of its Gevrey solutions.     

Bivariate hypergeometric D-modules

We undertake the study of bivariate Horn systems for generic parameters. We prove that these hypergeometric systems are holonomic, and we provide an explicit formula for their holonomic rank as well as bases of their spaces of complex holomorphic solutions. We also obtain analogous results for the generalized hypergeometric systems arising from lattices of any rank.     

B-splines,Polytopes, and Their Characteristic D-modules

Given a polytope σ ? ? ^m , its characteristic distribution δ_σ generates a D-module which we call the characteristic D-module of σ and denote by M _σ. More generally, the characteristic distributions of a cell complex K with polyhedral cells generate a D-module M _K , which we call the characteristic D-module of the cell complex. We prove various basic properties of M _K , and show that under mild topological conditions on K, the D-module theoretic direct image of M _K coincides with the module generated by the B-splines associated to the cells of K (considered as distributions). We also give techniques for computing D-annihilator ideals of polytopes.     

D-modules associated to 3×3 matrices

We classify regular holonomic $\text{D}$-modules whose characteristic variety is contained in the union of conormal bundles to the orbits of the group of invertible matrices. The main result is an equivalence between the category of such $\text{D}$-modules and the one of graded modules of finite type over a Weyl algebra. To cite this article: P. Nang, C. R. Acad. Sci.

Quantum D-modules and equivariant Floer theory for free loop spaces

The objective of this paper is to clarify the relationships between the quantum D-module and equivariant Floer theory. Equivariant Floer theory was introduced by Givental in his paper ``Homological Geometry'. He conjectured that the quantum D-module of a symplectic manifold is isomorphic to the equivariant Floer cohomology for the universal cover of the free loop space. First, motivated by the work of Guest, we formulate the notion of ``abstract quantum D-module' which generalizes the D-module defined by the small quantum cohomology algebra. Second, we define the equivariant Floer cohomology of toric complete intersections rigorously as a D-module, using Givental's model. This is shown to satisfy the axioms of abstract quantum D-module. By Givental's mirror theorem [Giv3], it follows that equivariant Floer cohomology defined here is isomorphic to the quantum cohomology D-module.

Schubert cycles, differential forms and D-modules on varieties of unseparated flags

Proper homogeneous G-spaces (where G is semisimple algebraic group) over positive characteristic fields k can be divided into two classes, the first one being the flag varieties G/P and the second one consisting of varieties of unseparated flags (proper homogeneous spaces not isomorphic to flag varieties as algebraic varieties). In this paper we compute the Chow ring of varieites of unseparated flags, show that the Hodge cohomology of usual flag varieties extends to the general setting of proper homogeneous spaces and give an example showing (by geometric means) that the D -affinity of Beilinson and Bernstein fails for varieties of unseparated flags.     

A note on the use of Frobenius map and D-modules in local cohomology

The Frobenius depth denoted by F-depth is defined by Hartshorne-Speiser in 1977 and later by Lyubeznik in 2006, in a different way, for rings of positive characteristic. The first aim of the present paper is to compare the F-depth with formal grade and reprove some results of Lyubeznik using formal local cohomology. Then the endomorphism rings of local cohomology modules will be considered. As an application, we reprove the results due to Huneke–Koh in positive characteristic and Lyubeznik in characteristic zero on the annihilators of local cohomology modules.     

Equivariant D-modules attached to nilpotent orbits in a semisimple Lie algebra

Let _u be a compact Lie algebra and let _u be its complexification. Let ζ^−1/2 be the inverse on the set of regular elements of _u of a square root of the discriminant of . Generalizing a result of W. Lichtenstein in the case _u = (n, ℂ) or (nℝ), we prove that ∂(q).ζ^1/2 is non zero for all harmonic polynomialsq ∈S( ) \ {0}. This fact is deduced from results about equivariantD-modules supported on the nilpotent cone of .     

A filtered ASTA property

Recently, the PASTA (Poisson Arrivals See Time Averages) property has been extended to ASTA (Arrivals See Time Averages) by eliminating the need for Poisson arrivals and weakening the LAA (Lack of Anticipation Assumption). This paper presents a strengthening of ASTA under the original LAA of Wolff. We consider a stochastic processX with an associated point processN that admits a stochastic intensity and satisfies LAA. Various authors have noted in various contexts that ASTA holds if and only if the arrival intensity is state independent. For a class of point processes that includes doubly stochastic as well as ordinary Poisson processes, we prove that the point process obtained by restricting the processX to any given set of states not only has the same intensity but also the same probabilistic structure as the original point process. In particular, if the original point process is Poisson, the new point process is still Poisson with the same parameter as the original point process. For a discrete-time version, of interest in its own right, we provide a simple proof of a strengthened version of ASTA in discrete time. Unlike other discrete-time versions of ASTA, ours is valid for point processes with stationary but not necessarily independent increments. The continuous-time results are obtained using martingale theory. A corollary is a simple proof of PASTA under conditions that require only that the relevant limits exist. Our results may also provide some insight into characterizing Poisson flows in queueing systems.The research of this author was partially supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. DDM-8719825.

Immediate extensions of filtered rings

Summary A separated filtered ring has a maximally complete immediate extension. This is an analogue of Krull Theorem from valuation ring theory in the frame of filtered rings.
