Positivity and Kleiman transversality in equivariant K -theory of homogeneous spaces

Dave Anderson, Stephen Griffeth, Ezra Miller (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove the conjectures of Graham–Kumar [GrKu08] and Griffeth–Ram [GrRa04] concerning the alternation of signs in the structure constants for torus-equivariant K -theory of generalized flag varieties G / P . These results are immediate consequences of an equivariant homological Kleiman transversality principle for the Borel mixing spaces of homogeneous spaces, and their subvarieties, under a natural group action with finitely many orbits. The computation of the coefficients in the expansion of the equivariant...

Positivity of Schur function expansions of Thom polynomials

Piotr Pragacz, Andrzej Weber (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Combining the approach to Thom polynomials via classifying spaces of singularities with the Fulton-Lazarsfeld theory of cone classes and positive polynomials for ample vector bundles, we show that the coefficients of the Schur function expansions of the Thom polynomials of stable singularities are nonnegative with positive sum.

Positivity of Thom polynomials II: the Lagrange singularities

Małgorzata Mikosz, Piotr Pragacz, Andrzej Weber (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study Thom polynomials associated with Lagrange singularities. We expand them in the basis of Q̃-functions. This basis plays a key role in the Schubert calculus of isotropic Grassmannians. We prove that the Q̃-function expansions of the Thom polynomials of Lagrange singularities always have nonnegative coefficients. This is an analog of a result on the Thom polynomials of mapping singularities and Schur S-functions, established formerly by the last two authors.

Positivity on subvarieties and vanishing of higher cohomology

Alex Küronya (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the relationship between positivity of restriction of line bundles to general complete intersections and vanishing of their higher cohomology. As a result, we extend classical vanishing theorems of Kawamata–Viehweg and Fujita to possibly non-nef divisors.

Positivity properties of toric vector bundles

Milena Hering, Mircea Mustaţă, Sam Payne (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that a torus-equivariant vector bundle on a complete toric variety is nef or ample if and only if its restriction to every invariant curve is nef or ample, respectively. Furthermore, we show that nef toric vector bundles have a nonvanishing global section at every point and deduce that the underlying vector bundle is trivial if and only if its restriction to every invariant curve is trivial. We apply our methods and results to study, in particular, the vector bundles L that arise as the...

Power-free values, large deviations, and integer points on irrational curves

Harald A. Helfgott (2007)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let f [ x ] be a polynomial of degree d 3 without roots of multiplicity d or ( d - 1 ) . Erdős conjectured that, if f satisfies the necessary local conditions, then f ( p ) is free of ( d - 1 ) th powers for infinitely many primes p . This is proved here for all f with sufficiently high entropy.The proof serves to demonstrate two innovations: a strong repulsion principle for integer points on curves of positive genus, and a number-theoretical analogue of Sanov’s theorem from the theory of large deviations.
