We develop a general procedure to study the combinatorial structure of Arthur packets for $p$-adic quasisplit $\mathit{Sp}(N)$ and $O(N)$ following the works of Mœglin. This will allow us to answer many delicate questions concerning the Arthur packets of these groups, for example the size of the packets.

We show that the Galois cohomology groups of $p$-adic representations of a direct power of $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}_{p}}/\mathbb{Q}_{p})$ can be computed via the generalization of Herr’s complex to multivariable $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D711},\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4})$-modules. Using Tate duality and a pairing for multivariable $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D711},\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4})$-modules we extend this to analogues of the Iwasawa cohomology. We show that all $p$-adic representations of a direct power of $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}_{p}}/\mathbb{Q}_{p})$ are overconvergent and, moreover, passing to overconvergent multivariable $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D711},\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4})$-modules is an equivalence of categories. Finally, we prove that the overconvergent Herr complex also computes the Galois cohomology groups.

We provide evidence for this conclusion: given a finite Galois cover $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{1}$ of group $G$, almost all (in a density sense) realizations of $G$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ do not occur as specializations of $f$. We show that this holds if the number of branch points of $f$ is sufficiently large, under the abc-conjecture and, possibly, the lower bound predicted by the Malle conjecture for the number of Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ of given group and bounded discriminant. This widely extends a result of Granville on the lack of $\mathbb{Q}$-rational points on quadratic twists of hyperelliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with large genus, under the abc-conjecture (a diophantine reformulation of the case $G=\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ of our result). As a further evidence, we exhibit a few finite groups $G$ for which the above conclusion holds unconditionally for almost all covers of $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{1}$ of group $G$. We also introduce a local–global principle for specializations of Galois covers $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{1}$ and show that it often fails if $f$ has abelian Galois group and sufficiently many branch points, under the abc-conjecture. On the one hand, such a local–global conclusion underscores the ‘smallness’ of the specialization set of a Galois cover of $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{1}$. On the other hand, it allows to generate conditionally ‘many’ curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ failing the Hasse principle, thus generalizing a recent result of Clark and Watson devoted to the hyperelliptic case.

We completely classify Cartan subalgebras of dimension drop algebras with coprime parameters. More generally, we classify Cartan subalgebras of arbitrary stabilised dimension drop algebras that are non-degenerate in the sense that the dimensions of their fibres in the endpoints are maximal. Conjugacy classes by an automorphism are parametrised by certain congruence classes of matrices over the natural numbers with prescribed row and column sums. In particular, each dimension drop algebra admits only finitely many non-degenerate Cartan subalgebras up to conjugacy. As a consequence of this parametrisation, we can provide examples of subhomogeneous $\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebras with exactly $n$ Cartan subalgebras up to conjugacy. Moreover, we show that in many dimension drop algebras two Cartan subalgebras are conjugate if and only if their spectra are homeomorphic.

We study the partial Gelfand–Shilov regularizing effect and the exponential decay for the solutions to evolution equations associated with a class of accretive non-selfadjoint quadratic operators, which fail to be globally hypoelliptic on the whole phase space. By taking advantage of the associated Gevrey regularizing effects, we study the null-controllability of parabolic equations posed on the whole Euclidean space associated with this class of possibly non-globally hypoelliptic quadratic operators. We prove that these parabolic equations are null-controllable in any positive time from thick control subsets. This thickness property is known to be a necessary and sufficient condition for the null-controllability of the heat equation posed on the whole Euclidean space. Our result shows that this geometric condition turns out to be a sufficient one for the null-controllability of a large class of quadratic differential operators.

We investigate bounds in Ramsey’s theorem for relations definable in NIP structures. Applying model-theoretic methods to finitary combinatorics, we generalize a theorem of Bukh and Matousek (Duke Mathematical Journal163(12) (2014), 2243–2270) from the semialgebraic case to arbitrary polynomially bounded $o$-minimal expansions of $\mathbb{R}$, and show that it does not hold in $\mathbb{R}_{\exp }$. This provides a new combinatorial characterization of polynomial boundedness for $o$-minimal structures. We also prove an analog for relations definable in $P$-minimal structures, in particular for the field of the $p$-adics. Generalizing Conlon et al. (Transactions of the American Mathematical Society366(9) (2014), 5043–5065), we show that in distal structures the upper bound for $k$-ary definable relations is given by the exponential tower of height $k-1$.

We adapt the classical notion of building models by games to the setting of continuous model theory. As an application, we study to what extent canonical operator algebras are enforceable models. For example, we show that the hyperfinite II1 factor is an enforceable II1 factor if and only if the Connes Embedding Problem has a positive solution. We also show that the set of continuous functions on the pseudoarc is an enforceable model of the theory of unital, projectionless, abelian $\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebras and use this to show that it is the prime model of its theory.

We give a simple set of geometric conditions on curves $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$, $\widetilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}}$ in $\mathbf{H}$ from $0$ to $\infty$ so that if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}:\mathbf{H}\rightarrow \mathbf{H}$ is a homeomorphism which is conformal off $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$ with $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D702})=\widetilde{\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}}$ then $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}$ is a conformal automorphism of $\mathbf{H}$. Our motivation comes from the fact that it is possible to apply our result to random conformal welding problems related to the Schramm–Loewner evolution (SLE) and Liouville quantum gravity (LQG). In particular, we show that if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$ is a non-space-filling $\text{SLE}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}}$ curve in $\mathbf{H}$ from $0$ to $\infty$, and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}$ is a homeomorphism which is conformal on $\mathbf{H}\setminus \unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$, and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D702})$, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$ are equal in distribution, then $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}$ is a conformal automorphism of $\mathbf{H}$. Applying this result for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}=4$ establishes that the welding operation for critical ($\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}=2$) LQG is well defined. Applying it for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}\in (4,8)$ gives a new proof that the welding of two independent $\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}/4$-stable looptrees of quantum disks to produce an $\text{SLE}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}}$ on top of an independent $4/\sqrt{\unicode[STIX]{x1D705}}$-LQG surface is well defined.

Soit $F$ un corps local non archimédien de caractéristique ${\geqslant}0$, et soit $G=GL(N,F)$, $N\geqslant 1$. Un élément $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}\in G$ est dit quasi régulier si le centralisateur de $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}$ dans $M(N,F)$ est un produit d’extensions de $F$. Soit $G_{\text{qr}}$ l’ensemble des éléments quasi réguliers de $G$. Pour $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}\in G_{\text{qr}}$, on note $O_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}}$ l’intégrale orbitale ordinaire sur $G$ associée à $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}$. On remplace ici le discriminant de Weyl $|D_{G}|$ par un facteur de normalisation $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}_{G}:G_{\text{qr}}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{{>}0}$ permettant d’obtenir les mêmes résultats que ceux prouvés par Harish-Chandra en caractéristique nulle: pour $f\in C_{\text{c}}^{\infty }(G)$, l’intégrale orbitale normalisée $I^{G}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE},f)=\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}_{G}^{\frac{1}{2}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE})O_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}}(f)$ est bornée sur $G$, et pour $\unicode[STIX]{x1D716}>0$ tel que $N(N-1)\unicode[STIX]{x1D716}<1$, la fonction $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}_{G}^{-\frac{1}{2}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D716}}$ est localement intégrable sur $G$.

The germ of the universal isomonodromic deformation of a logarithmic connection on a stable $n$-pointed genus $g$ curve always exists in the analytic category. The first part of this article investigates under which conditions it is the analytic germification of an algebraic isomonodromic deformation. Up to some minor technical conditions, this turns out to be the case if and only if the monodromy of the connection has finite orbit under the action of the mapping class group. The second part of this work studies the dynamics of this action in the particular case of reducible rank 2 representations and genus $g>0$, allowing to classify all finite orbits. Both of these results extend recent ones concerning the genus 0 case.

We prove the analog for the $K$-theory of forms of the $Q=+$ theorem in algebraic $K$-theory. That is, we show that the $K$-theory of forms defined in terms of an $S_{\bullet }$-construction is a group completion of the category of quadratic spaces for form categories in which all admissible exact sequences split. This applies for instance to quadratic and hermitian forms defined with respect to a form parameter.

In this paper, we prove a conjecture of Wei Zhang on comparison of certain local relative characters from which we draw some consequences for the Ichino–Ikeda conjecture for unitary groups.

Let ${\mathcal{F}}_{g}^{\mathbf{N}}$ be the moduli space of polarized Nikulin surfaces $(Y,H)$ of genus $g$ and let ${\mathcal{P}}_{g}^{\mathbf{N}}$ be the moduli of triples $(Y,H,C)$, with $C\in |H|$ a smooth curve. We study the natural map $\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{g}:{\mathcal{P}}_{g}^{\mathbf{N}}\rightarrow {\mathcal{R}}_{g}$, where ${\mathcal{R}}_{g}$ is the moduli space of Prym curves of genus $g$. We prove that it is generically injective on every irreducible component, with a few exceptions in low genus. This gives a complete picture of the map $\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{g}$ and confirms some striking analogies between it and the Mukai map $m_{g}:{\mathcal{P}}_{g}\rightarrow {\mathcal{M}}_{g}$ for moduli of triples $(Y,H,C)$, where $(Y,H)$ is any genus $g$ polarized $K3$ surface. The proof is by degeneration to boundary points of a partial compactification of ${\mathcal{F}}_{g}^{\mathbf{N}}$. These represent the union of two surfaces with four even nodes and effective anticanonical class, which we call half Nikulin surfaces. The use of this degeneration is new with respect to previous techniques.

In this article, we functorially associate definable sets to $k$-analytic curves, and definable maps to analytic morphisms between them, for a large class of $k$-analytic curves. Given a $k$-analytic curve $X$, our association allows us to have definable versions of several usual notions of Berkovich analytic geometry such as the branch emanating from a point and the residue curve at a point of type 2. We also characterize the definable subsets of the definable counterpart of $X$ and show that they satisfy a bijective relation with the radial subsets of $X$. As an application, we recover (and slightly extend) results of Temkin concerning the radiality of the set of points with a given prescribed multiplicity with respect to a morphism of $k$-analytic curves. In the case of the analytification of an algebraic curve, our construction can also be seen as an explicit version of Hrushovski and Loeser’s theorem on iso-definability of curves. However, our approach can also be applied to strictly $k$-affinoid curves and arbitrary morphisms between them, which are currently not in the scope of their setting.

The flow past an obstacle is a fundamental object in fluid mechanics. In 1967 Finn and Smith proved the unique existence of stationary solutions, called the physically reasonable solutions, to the Navier–Stokes equations in a two-dimensional exterior domain modeling this type of flows when the Reynolds number is sufficiently small. The asymptotic behavior of their solution at spatial infinity has been studied in detail and well understood by now, while its stability has remained open due to the difficulty specific to the two-dimensionality. In this paper, we prove that the physically reasonable solutions constructed by Finn and Smith are asymptotically stable with respect to small and well-localized initial perturbations.

We formulate a theory of pointed manifolds, accommodating both embeddings and Pontryagin–Thom collapse maps, so as to present a common generalization of Poincaré duality in topology and Koszul duality in ${\mathcal{E}}_{n}$-algebra.

These notes concern the nonlinear geometry of Banach spaces, asymptotic uniform smoothness and several Banach–Saks-like properties. We study the existence of certain concentration inequalities in asymptotically uniformly smooth Banach spaces as well as weakly sequentially continuous coarse (Lipschitz) embeddings into those spaces. Some results concerning the descriptive set theoretical complexity of those properties are also obtained. We finish the paper with a list of open problem.

We prove that the category of (rigidified) Breuil–Kisin–Fargues modules up to isogeny is Tannakian. We then introduce and classify Breuil–Kisin–Fargues modules with complex multiplication mimicking the classical theory for rational Hodge structures. In particular, we compute an avatar of a ‘$p$-adic Serre group’.

We prove that every separable Banach space containing an isomorphic copy of $\ell _{1}$ can be equivalently renormed so that the new bidual norm is octahedral. This answers, in the separable case, a question in Godefroy [Metric characterization of first Baire class linear forms and octahedral norms, Studia Math. 95 (1989), 1–15]. As a direct consequence, we obtain that every dual Banach space, with a separable predual and failing to be strongly regular, can be equivalently renormed with a dual norm to satisfy the strong diameter two property.

In this paper we prove the Rigidity Theorem for motives of rigid analytic varieties over a non-Archimedean valued field $K$. We prove this theorem both for motives with transfers and without transfers in a relative setting. Applications include the construction of étale realization functors, an upgrade of the known comparison between motives with and without transfers and an upgrade of the rigid analytic motivic tilting equivalence, extending them to $\mathbb{Z}[1/p]$-coefficients.
