On rationally connected varieties over C1 fields of characteristic 0

Marta Pieropan

We use birational geometry to show that the existence of rational points on proper rationally connected varieties over fields of characteristic 0 is a consequence of the existence of rational points on terminal Fano varieties. We discuss several consequenc ...

Strong Subconvexity for Self-Dual GL(3) L-Functions

Yongxiao Lin, Ramon Moreira Nunes, Zhi Qi

In this paper, we prove strong subconvexity bounds for self-dual GL(3) L-functions in the t-aspect and for GL(3) x GL(2) L-functions in the GL(2)-spectral aspect. The bounds are strong in the sense that they are the natural limit of the moment method pione ...

Comparing performance of discomfort glare metrics in high and low adaptation levels

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Mandana Sarey Khanie, Geraldine Cai Ting Quek

Current discomfort glare prediction metrics usually account for at least one of the two categories of effects that induce discomfort glare – the saturation and contrast effects. Saturation-driven metrics (overall illuminance on the eye) are suited for brig ...

Serre-Tate theory for Calabi-Yau varieties

Maciej Emilian Zdanowicz

Classical Serre-Tate theory describes deformations of ordinary abelian varieties. It implies that every such variety has a canonical lift to characteristic zero and equips the base of its universal deformation with a Frobenius lifting and canonical multipl ...
