We give an algebraic proof of properness of moduli stacks of gauged maps satisfying a stability conditition introduced by Mundet and Schmitt. The proof combines a git construction of Schmitt, properness for twisted stable maps by Abramovich-Vistoli, a variation of a boundedness argument due to Ciocan-Fontanine-Kim-Maulik, and a removal of singularities for bundles on surfaces in Colliot-Thel`ene-Sansuc.
We give an introduction to moduli stacks of gauged maps satisfying a stability conditition introduced by Mundet and Schmitt, and the associated integrals giving rise to gauged Gromov-Witten invariants. We survey various applications to cohomological and K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants.
For $2$ vectors $x,yin mathbb{R}^m$, we use the notation $x * y =(x_1y_1,ldots ,x_my_m)$, and if $x=y$ we also use the notation $x^2=x*x$ and define by induction $x^k=x*(x^{k-1})$. We use $<,>$ for the usual inner product on $mathbb{R}^m$. For $A$ an $mtimes m$ matrix with coefficients in $mathbb{R}$, we can assign a map $F_A(x)=x+(Ax)^3:~mathbb{R}^mrightarrow mathbb{R}^m$. A matrix $A$ is Druzkowski iff $det(JF_A(x))=1$ for all $xin mathbb{R}^m$. Recently, Jiang Liu posted a preprint on arXiv asserting a proof of the Jacobian conjecture, by showing the properness of $F_A(x)$ when $A$ is Druzkowski, via some inequalities in the real numbers. In the proof, indeed Liu asserted the properness of $F_A(x)$ under more general conditions on $A$, see the main body of this paper for more detail. Inspired by this preprint, we research in this paper on the question of to what extend the above maps $F_A(x)$ (even for matrices $A$ which are not Druzkowski) can be proper. We obtain various necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for both properness and non-properness properties. A complete characterisation of the properness, in terms of the existence of non-zero solutions to a system of polynomial equations of degree at most $3$, in the case where $A$ has corank $1$, is obtained. Extending this, we propose a new conjecture, and discuss some applications to the (real) Jacobian conjecture. We also consider the properness of more general maps $xpm (Ax)^k$ or $xpm A(x^k)$. By a result of Druzkowski, our results can be applied to all polynomial self-mappings of $mathbb{C}^m$ or $mathbb{R}^m$.
This paper develops our previous work on properness of a class of maps related to the Jacobian conjecture. The paper has two main parts: - In part 1, we explore properties of the set of non-proper values $S_f$ (as introduced by Z. Jelonek) of these maps. In particular, using a general criterion for non-properness of these maps, we show that under a generic condition (to be precise later) $S_f$ contains $0$ if it is non-empty. This result is related to a conjecture in our previous paper. We obtain this by use of a dual set to $S_f$, particularly designed for the special class of maps. - In part 2, we use the non-properness criteria obtained in our work to construct a counter-example to the proposed proof in arXiv:2002.10249 of the Jacobian conjecture. In the conclusion, we present some comments pertaining the Jacobian conjecture and properness of polynomial maps in general.
We establish an algebraic approach to prove the properness of moduli spaces of K-polystable Fano varieties and reduce the problem to a conjecture on destabilizations of K-unstable Fano varieties. Specifically, we prove that if the stability threshold of every K-unstable Fano variety is computed by a divisorial valuation, then such K-moduli spaces are proper. The argument relies on studying certain optimal destabilizing test configurations and constructing a Theta-stratification on the moduli stack of Fano varieties.
Let $S$ be the special fibre of a Shimura variety of Hodge type, with good reduction at a place above $p$. We give an alternative construction of the zip period map for $S$, which is used to define the Ekedahl-Oort strata of $S$. The method employed is local, $p$-adic, and group-theoretic in nature.
