The Mumford conjecture

Geoffrey Powell (2004/2005)

Séminaire Bourbaki

The Mumford Conjecture asserts that the rational cohomology of the stable moduli space of Riemann surfaces is a polynomial algebra on the Mumford-Morita-Miller characteristic classes; this can be reformulated in terms of the classifying space B Γ derived from the mapping class groups. The conjecture admits a topological generalization, inspired by Tillmann’s theorem that B Γ admits an infinite loop space structure after applying Quillen’s plus construction. The text presents the proof by Madsen and...

The Mumford-Tate group of 1-motives

Cristiana Bertolin (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we study the structure and the degeneracies of the Mumford-Tate group M T ( M ) of a 1-motive M defined over . This group is an algebraic - group acting on the Hodge realization of M and endowed with an increasing filtration W . We prove that the unipotent radical of M T ( M ) , which is W - 1 ( M T ( M ) ) , injects into a “generalized” Heisenberg group. We then explain how to reduce to the study of the Mumford-Tate group of a direct sum of 1-motives whose torus’character group and whose lattice are both of rank 1....

The Nash problem of arcs and the rational double points D n

Camille Plénat (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This paper deals with the Nash problem, which consists in comparing the number of families of arcs on a singular germ of surface U with the number of essential components of the exceptional divisor in the minimal resolution of this singularity. We prove their equality in the case of the rational double points D n ( n 4 ).

The number of conics tangent to five given conics: the real case.

Felice Ronga, Alberto Tognoli, Thierry Vust (1997)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

It is a classical result, first established by de Jonquières (1859), that generically the number of conics tangent to 5 given conics in the complex projective plane is 3264. We show here the existence of configurations of 5 real conics such that the number of real conics tangent to them is 3264.

The number of conjugacy classes of elements of the Cremona group of some given finite order

Jérémy Blanc (2007)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

This note presents the study of the conjugacy classes of elements of some given finite order n in the Cremona group of the plane. In particular, it is shown that the number of conjugacy classes is infinite if n is even, n = 3 or n = 5 , and that it is equal to 3 (respectively 9 ) if n = 9 (respectively if n = 15 ) and to 1 for all remaining odd orders. Some precise representative elements of the classes are given.
