Let $\sigma $ be a stability condition on the bounded derived category $D^b({\mathop{\mathrm {Coh}}\nolimits } W)$ of a Calabi–Yau threefold W and $\mathcal {M}$ a moduli stack parametrizing $\sigma $ -semistable objects of fixed topological type. We define generalized Donaldson–Thomas invariants which act as virtual counts of objects in $\mathcal {M}$ , fully generalizing the approach introduced by Kiem, Li and the author in the case of semistable sheaves. We construct an associated proper Deligne–Mumford stack $\widetilde {\mathcal {M}}^{\mathbb {C}^{\ast }}$ , called the $\mathbb {C}^{\ast }$ -rigidified intrinsic stabilizer reduction of $\mathcal {M}$ , with an induced semiperfect obstruction theory of virtual dimension zero, and define the generalized Donaldson–Thomas invariant via Kirwan blowups to be the degree of the associated virtual cycle $[\widetilde {\mathcal {M}}]^{\mathrm {vir}} \in A_0(\widetilde {\mathcal {M}})$ . This stays invariant under deformations of the complex structure of W. Applications include Bridgeland stability, polynomial stability, Gieseker and slope stability.

In this paper, we prove a decomposition result for the Chow groups of projectivizations of coherent sheaves of homological dimension $\le 1$ . In this process, we establish the decomposition of Chow groups for the cases of the Cayley trick and standard flips. Moreover, we apply these results to study the Chow groups of symmetric powers of curves, nested Hilbert schemes of surfaces, and the varieties resolving Voisin maps for cubic fourfolds.

Using crossed homomorphisms, we show that the category of weak representations (respectively admissible representations) of Lie–Rinehart algebras (respectively Leibniz pairs) is a left module category over the monoidal category of representations of Lie algebras. In particular, the corresponding bifunctor of monoidal categories is established to give new weak representations (respectively admissible representations) of Lie–Rinehart algebras (respectively Leibniz pairs). This generalises and unifies various existing constructions of representations of many Lie algebras by using this new bifunctor. We construct some crossed homomorphisms in different situations and use our actions of monoidal categories to recover some known constructions of representations of various Lie algebras and to obtain new representations for generalised Witt algebras and their Lie subalgebras. The cohomology theory of crossed homomorphisms between Lie algebras is introduced and used to study linear deformations of crossed homomorphisms.

Let G be a complex semisimple Lie group and H a complex closed connected subgroup. Let and be their Lie algebras. We prove that the regular representation of G in $L^2(G/H)$ is tempered if and only if the orthogonal of in contains regular elements by showing simultaneously the equivalence to other striking conditions, such as has a solvable limit algebra.

In this article we study integral models of Shimura varieties, called Pappas–Rapoport splitting model, for ramified P.E.L. Shimira data. We study the special fiber and some stratification of these models, in particular we show that these are smooth and the Rapoport locus and the $\mu $-ordinary locus are dense, under some condition on the ramification.

Let $\Gamma $ be a finite set, and $X\ni x$ a fixed kawamata log terminal germ. For any lc germ $(X\ni x,B:=\sum _{i} b_iB_i)$, such that $b_i\in \Gamma $, Nakamura’s conjecture, which is equivalent to the ascending chain condition conjecture for minimal log discrepancies for fixed germs, predicts that there always exists a prime divisor E over $X\ni x$, such that $a(E,X,B)=\mathrm {mld}(X\ni x,B)$, and $a(E,X,0)$ is bounded from above. We extend Nakamura’s conjecture to the setting that $X\ni x$ is not necessarily fixed and $\Gamma $ satisfies the descending chain condition, and show it holds for surfaces. We also find some sufficient conditions for the boundedness of $a(E,X,0)$ for any such E.

Let M be an irreducible $3$-manifold M with empty or toroidal boundary which has at least one hyperbolic piece in its geometric decomposition, and let A be a finite abelian group. Generalizing work of Sun [20] and of Friedl–Herrmann [7], we prove that there exists a finite cover $M' \to M$ so that A is a direct factor in $H_1(M',{\mathbb Z})$.

We give a motivic proof of the fact that for nonsingular real tropical complete intersections, the Euler characteristic of the real part is equal to the signature of the complex part. This was originally proved by Itenberg in the case of surfaces in $\mathbb {C}P^{3}$, and has been successively generalized by Bertrand and by Bihan and Bertrand. Our proof, different from previous approaches, is an application of the motivic nearby fiber of semistable degenerations. In particular, it extends the original result by Itenberg, Bertrand, and Bihan to real analytic families admitting a $\mathbb {Q}$-nonsingular tropical limit.

We show that the theory of Galois actions of a torsion Abelian group A is companionable if and only if, for each prime p, the p-primary part of A is either finite or it coincides with the Prüfer p-group. We also provide a model-theoretic description of the model companions we obtain.
