For $n=3$, $4$, and 5, we prove that, when $S_{n}$-number fields of degree $n$ are ordered by their absolute discriminants, the lattice shapes of the rings of integers in these fields become equidistributed in the space of lattices.

We investigate exponential sums over those numbers ${\leqslant}x$ all of whose prime factors are ${\leqslant}y$. We prove fairly good minor arc estimates, valid whenever $\log ^{3}x\leqslant y\leqslant x^{1/3}$. Then we prove sharp upper bounds for the $p$th moment of (possibly weighted) sums, for any real $p>2$ and $\log ^{C(p)}x\leqslant y\leqslant x$. Our proof develops an argument of Bourgain, showing that this can succeed without strong major arc information, and roughly speaking it would give sharp moment bounds and restriction estimates for any set sufficiently factorable relative to its density. By combining our bounds with major arc estimates of Drappeau, we obtain an asymptotic for the number of solutions of $a+b=c$ in $y$-smooth integers less than $x$ whenever $\log ^{C}x\leqslant y\leqslant x$. Previously this was only known assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis. Combining them with transference machinery of Green, we prove Roth’s theorem for subsets of the $y$-smooth numbers whenever $\log ^{C}x\leqslant y\leqslant x$. This provides a deterministic set, of size ${\approx}x^{1-c}$, inside which Roth’s theorem holds.

In this paper, we study real-dihedral harmonic Maass forms and their Fourier coefficients. The main result expresses the values of Hilbert modular forms at twisted CM 0-cycles in terms of these Fourier coefficients. This is a twisted version of the main theorem in Bruinier and Yang [CM-values of Hilbert modular functions, Invent. Math. 163 (2006), 229–288] and provides evidence that the individual Fourier coefficients are logarithms of algebraic numbers in the appropriate real-quadratic field. From this result and numerical calculations, we formulate an algebraicity conjecture, which is an analogue of Stark’s conjecture in the setting of harmonic Maass forms. Also, we give a conjectural description of the primes appearing in CM-values of Hilbert modular functions.

For each del Pezzo surface $S$ with du Val singularities, we determine whether it admits a $(-K_{S})$-polar cylinder or not. If it allows one, then we present an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $D$ that is $\mathbb{Q}$-linearly equivalent to $-K_{S}$ and such that the open set $S\setminus \text{Supp}(D)$ is a cylinder. As a corollary, we classify all the del Pezzo surfaces with du Val singularities that admit non-trivial $\mathbb{G}_{a}$-actions on their affine cones defined by their anticanonical divisors.

An affine symplectic singularity $X$ with a good $\mathbf{C}^{\ast }$-action is called a conical symplectic variety. In this paper we prove the following theorem. For fixed positive integers $N$ and $d$, there are only a finite number of conical symplectic varieties of dimension $2d$ with maximal weights $N$, up to an isomorphism. To prove the main theorem, we first relate a conical symplectic variety with a log Fano Kawamata log terminal (klt) pair, which has a contact structure. By the boundedness result for log Fano klt pairs with fixed Cartier index, we prove that conical symplectic varieties of a fixed dimension and with a fixed maximal weight form a bounded family. Next we prove the rigidity of conical symplectic varieties by using Poisson deformations.

Let $k=\mathbb{C}$ be the field of complex numbers. In this article we construct Hodge realization functors defined on the triangulated categories of étale motives with rational coefficients. Our construction extends to every smooth quasi-projective $k$-scheme, the construction done by Nori over a field, and relies on the original version of the basic lemma proved by Beĭlinson. As in the case considered by Nori, the realization functor factors through the bounded derived category of a perverse version of the Abelian category of Nori motives.

This paper is about the reduced group $C^{\ast }$-algebras of real reductive groups, and about Hilbert $C^{\ast }$-modules over these $C^{\ast }$-algebras. We shall do three things. First, we shall apply theorems from the tempered representation theory of reductive groups to determine the structure of the reduced $C^{\ast }$-algebra (the result has been known for some time, but it is difficult to assemble a full treatment from the existing literature). Second, we shall use the structure of the reduced $C^{\ast }$-algebra to determine the structure of the Hilbert $C^{\ast }$-bimodule that represents the functor of parabolic induction. Third, we shall prove that the parabolic induction bimodule admits a secondary inner product, using which we can define a functor of parabolic restriction in tempered representation theory. We shall prove in a sequel to this paper that parabolic restriction is adjoint, on both the left and the right, to parabolic induction in the context of tempered unitary Hilbert space representations.

Building on coprincipal mesoprimary decomposition [Kahle and Miller, Decompositions of commutative monoid congruences and binomial ideals, Algebra and Number Theory 8 (2014), 1297–1364], we combinatorially construct an irreducible decomposition of any given binomial ideal. In a parallel manner, for congruences in commutative monoids we construct decompositions that are direct combinatorial analogues of binomial irreducible decompositions, and for binomial ideals we construct decompositions into ideals that are as irreducible as possible while remaining binomial. We provide an example of a binomial ideal that is not an intersection of irreducible binomial ideals, thus answering a question of Eisenbud and Sturmfels [Binomial ideals, Duke Math. J. 84 (1996), 1–45].
