The good pants homology and the Ehrenpreis Conjecture

We develop the notion of the good pants homology and show that it agrees with the standard homology on closed surfaces. (Good pants are pairs of pants whose cuffs have the length nearly equal to some...

Positivity for cluster algebras

We prove the positivity conjecture for all skew-symmetric cluster algebras.

Anomalous dissipation for $1/5$-Hölder Euler flows

Recently the second and fourth authors developed an iterative scheme for obtaining rough solutions of the 3D incompressible Euler equations in Hölder spaces. The motivation comes from Onsager’s...

Mutations of puzzles and equivariant cohomology of two-step flag varieties

We introduce a mutation algorithm for puzzles that is a three-direction analogue of the classical jeu de taquin algorithm for semistandard tableaux. We apply this algorithm to prove our conjectured...

Uniqueness of blowups and Łojasiewicz inequalities

Once one knows that singularities occur, one naturally wonders what the singularities are like. For minimal varieties the first answer, already known to Federer-Fleming in 1959, is that they weakly...

Chern slopes of simply connected complex surfaces of general type are dense...

We prove that for any number $r \in [2,3]$, there are spin (resp. nonspin and minimal) simply connected complex surfaces of general type $X$ with $c_1^2(X)/c_2(X)$ arbitrarily close to $r$. In...

Interlacing families I: Bipartite Ramanujan graphs of all degrees

We prove that there exist infinite families of regular bipartite Ramanujan graphs of every degree bigger than $2$. We do this by proving a variant of a conjecture of Bilu and Linial about the existence...

Interlacing families II: Mixed characteristic polynomials and the...

We use the method of interlacing polynomials introduced in our previous article to prove two theorems known to imply a positive solution to the Kadison–Singer problem. The first is Weaver’s conjecture...

The proof of the $l^2$ Decoupling Conjecture

We prove the $l^2$ Decoupling Conjecture for compact hypersurfaces with positive definite second fundamental form and also for the cone. This has a wide range of important consequences. One of them is...

The period-index problem for fields of transcendence degree $2$

Using geometric methods we prove the standard period-index conjecture for the Brauer group of a field of transcendence degree $2$ over $\mathbf{F}_p$.

Almost contact 5-manifolds are contact

The existence of a contact structure is proved in any homotopy class of almost contact structures on a closed $5$-dimensional manifold.

A polynomial upper bound on Reidemeister moves

We prove that any diagram of the unknot with $c$ crossings may be reduced to the trivial diagram using at most $(236 \,c)^{11}$ Reidemeister moves.

Rationality of $W$-algebras: principal nilpotent cases

We prove the rationality of all the minimal series principal $W$-algebras discovered by Frenkel, Kac and Wakimoto, thereby giving a new family of rational and $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebras. A...

A proof of Demailly’s strong openness conjecture

In this article, we solve the strong openness conjecture on the multiplier ideal sheaf associated to any plurisubharmonic function, which was posed by Demailly.

The circle method and bounds for $L$-functions – IV: Subconvexity for twists...

Let $\pi$ be an $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb Z)$ Hecke-Maass cusp form satisfying the Ramanujan conjecture and the Selberg-Ramanujan conjecture, and let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $M$,...

Isolation, equidistribution, and orbit closures for the...

We prove results about orbit closures and equidistribution for the $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ action on the moduli space of compact Riemann surfaces, which are analogous to the theory of unipotent...

Tightness is preserved by Legendrian surgery

This paper describes a characterization of tightness of closed contact 3-manifolds in terms of supporting open book decompositions. The main result is that tightness of a closed contact 3-manifold is...

On Schmidt and Summerer parametric geometry of numbers

Recently, W. M. Schmidt and L. Summerer introduced a new theory that allowed them to recover the main known inequalities relating the usual exponents of Diophantine approximation to a point in...

Hidden symmetries and decay for the wave equation on the Kerr spacetime

Energy and decay estimates for the wave equation on the exterior region of slowly rotating Kerr spacetimes are proved. The method used is a generalisation of the vector-field method that allows the use...

Kontsevich’s graph complex, GRT, and the deformation complex of the sheaf of...

We generalize Kontsevich’s construction of $L_{\infty}$-derivations of polyvector fields from the affine space to an arbitrary smooth algebraic variety. More precisely, we construct a map (in the...
