#### Quantum character varieties and braided module categories

We compute quantum character varieties of arbitrary closed surfaces with boundaries and marked points. These are categorical invariants $\int _S{\mathcal {A}}$ of a surface S, determined by the choice of a braided tensor category ${\mathcal {A}}$, and computed via factorization homology. We identify the algebraic data governing marked points and boundary components with the...

#### Deformation quantisation for unshifted symplectic structures on derived Artin stacks

We prove that every 0-shifted symplectic structure on a derived Artin n-stack admits a curved $A_{\infty }$ deformation quantisation. The classical method of quantising smooth varieties via quantisations of affine space does not apply in this setting, so we develop a new approach. We construct a map from DQ algebroid quantisations of unshifted symplectic structures on a derived...

#### Linear Batalin–Vilkovisky quantization as a functor of $$\infty$$-categories

We study linear Batalin–Vilkovisky (BV) quantization, which is a derived and shifted version of the Weyl quantization of symplectic vector spaces. Using a variety of homotopical machinery, we implement this construction as a symmetric monoidal functor of $\infty$-categories. We also show that this construction has a number of pleasant properties: It has a natural extension to...

#### The meta-abelian elliptic KZB associator and periods of Eisenstein series

We compute the image of Enriquez’ elliptic KZB associator in the (maximal) meta-abelian quotient of the fundamental Lie algebra of a once-punctured elliptic curve. Our main result is an explicit formula for this image in terms of Eichler integrals of Eisenstein series, and is analogous to Deligne’s computation of the depth one quotient of the Drinfeld associator. We also show how...

#### Relative pseudomonads, Kleisli bicategories, and substitution monoidal structures

We introduce the notion of a relative pseudomonad, which generalizes the notion of a pseudomonad, and define the Kleisli bicategory associated to a relative pseudomonad. We then present an efficient method to define pseudomonads on the Kleisli bicategory of a relative pseudomonad. The results are applied to define several pseudomonads on the bicategory of profunctors in an...

#### On the geography and botany of knot Floer homology

This paper explores two questions: (1) Which bigraded groups arise as the knot Floer homology of a knot in the three-sphere? (2) Given a knot, how many distinct knots share its Floer homology? Regarding the first, we show there exist bigraded groups satisfying all previously known constraints of knot Floer homology which do not arise as the invariant of a knot. This leads to a...

#### Interlacing Ehrhart polynomials of reflexive polytopes

It was observed by Bump et al. that Ehrhart polynomials in a special family exhibit properties shared by the Riemann $\zeta$ function. The construction was generalized by Matsui et al. to a larger family of reflexive polytopes coming from graphs. We prove several conjectures confirming when such polynomials have zeros on a certain line in the complex plane. Our main new method...

#### Extremality and dynamically defined measures, part I: Diophantine properties of quasi-decaying measures

We present a new method of proving the Diophantine extremality of various dynamically defined measures, vastly expanding the class of measures known to be extremal. This generalizes and improves the celebrated theorem of Kleinbock and Margulis (’98) resolving Sprindžuk’s conjecture, as well as its extension by Kleinbock, Lindenstrauss, and Weiss (’04), hereafter abbreviated KLW...

#### Infinitely many monotone Lagrangian tori in del Pezzo surfaces

We construct almost toric fibrations (ATFs) on all del Pezzo surfaces, endowed with a monotone symplectic form. Except for ${\mathbb {C}}P^2\# \overline{{\mathbb {C}}P^2}$, ${\mathbb {C}}P^2\# 2\overline{{\mathbb {C}}P^2}$, we are able to get almost toric base diagrams (ATBDs) of triangular shape and prove the existence of infinitely many symplectomorphism (in particular...

We compute the groups $H^*(\mathrm {Aut}(F_n); M)$ and $H^*(\mathrm {Out}(F_n); M)$ in a stable range, where M is obtained by applying a Schur functor to $H_\mathbb {Q}$ or $H^*_\mathbb {Q}$, respectively the first rational homology and cohomology of $F_n$. The answer may be described in terms of stable multiplicities of irreducibles in the plethysm $\mathrm {Sym}^k... #### Zariski closures and subgroup separability The main result of this article is a refinement of the well-known subgroup separability results of Hall and Scott for free and surface groups. We show that for any finitely generated subgroup, there is a finite dimensional representation of the free or surface group that separates the subgroup in the induced Zariski topology. As a corollary, we establish a polynomial upper bound... #### On the \(\mathrm {GL}_n$ -eigenvariety and a conjecture of Venkatesh

Let $\pi$ be a cuspidal, cohomological automorphic representation of $\mathrm {GL}_n({\mathbb A})$. Venkatesh has suggested that there should exist a natural action of the exterior algebra of a certain motivic cohomology group on the $\pi$-part of the Betti cohomology (with rational coefficients) of the $\mathrm {GL}_n({\mathbb Q})$-arithmetic locally symmetric space...

#### Nef divisors for moduli spaces of complexes with compact support

In Bayer and Macrì (J Am Math Soc 27(3):707–752, 2014), the first author and Macrì constructed a family of nef divisors on any moduli space of Bridgeland-stable objects on a smooth projective variety X. In this article, we extend this construction to the setting of any separated scheme Y of finite type over a field, where we consider moduli spaces of Bridgeland-stable objects on...

#### Error-correcting codes and neural networks

Encoding, transmission and decoding of information are ubiquitous in biology and human history: from DNA transcription to spoken/written languages and languages of sciences. During the last decades, the study of neural networks in brain performing their multiple tasks was providing more and more detailed pictures of (fragments of) this activity. Mathematical models of this...

#### Holonomicity of relative characters and applications to multiplicity bounds for spherical pairs

We prove that any relative character (a.k.a. spherical character) of any admissible representation of a real reductive group with respect to any pair of spherical subgroups is a holonomic distribution on the group. This implies that the restriction of the relative character to an open dense subset is given by an analytic function. The proof is based on an argument from algebraic...

#### Spectral transfer morphisms for unipotent affine Hecke algebras

We classify the spectral transfer morphisms (cf. Opdam in Adv Math 286:912–957, 2016) between affine Hecke algebras associated to the unipotent types of the various inner forms of an unramified absolutely simple algebraic group G defined over a non-archimedean local field k. This turns out to characterize Lusztig’s classification (Lusztig in Int Math Res Not 11:517–589, 1995; in...

#### Root systems, spectral curves, and analysis of a Chern-Simons matrix model for Seifert fibered spaces

We study in detail the large N expansion of ${\mathrm {SU}}(N)$ and ${\mathrm {SO}}(N)/{\mathrm {Sp}}(2N)$ Chern–Simons partition function $Z_N(M)$ of 3-manifolds M that are either rational homology spheres or more generally Seifert fibered spaces. This partition function admits a matrix model-like representation, whose spectral curve can be characterized in terms of a...

#### Rankin–Selberg local factors modulo  $\ell$

After extending the theory of Rankin–Selberg local factors to pairs of $\ell$-modular representations of Whittaker type, of general linear groups over a non-Archimedean local field, we study the reduction modulo $\ell$ of $\ell$-adic local factors and their relation to these $\ell$-modular local factors. While the $\ell$-modular local $\gamma$-factor we...

#### Some results of algebraic geometry over Henselian rank one valued fields

We develop geometry of affine algebraic varieties in $K^{n}$ over Henselian rank one valued fields K of equicharacteristic zero. Several results are provided including: the projection $K^{n} \times {\mathbb {P}}^{m}(K) \rightarrow K^{n}$ and blowups of the K-rational points of smooth K-varieties are definably closed maps; a descent property for blowups; curve selection for...
