Hodge Theory of Maps

The existence of a Kähler form give strong topological constraints via Hodge theory. Can we get similar constraints on algebraic maps? Let f : X → Y a proper morphism. Our goal is going to be to linearize the problem. For this lecture, we will assume f is projective and smooth, to simplify the problem. In fact, we will assume X and Y are nonsingular. So our map factors X → P × Y → Y and df is s...

Hodge Theory of Matroids

Introduction Logarithmic concavity is a property of a sequence of real numbers, occurring throughout algebraic geometry, convex geometry, and combinatorics. A sequence of positive numbers a0,... ,ad is log-concave if a2 i ≥ ai−1ai+1 for all i. This means that the logarithms, log(ai), form a concave sequence. The condition implies unimodality of the sequence (ai), a property easier to visualize:...

Hodge Theory and Representation Theory

Gauge Theory as Hodge Theory

In the framework of an extended BRST formalism, it is shown that the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form (notoph) gauge theory presents an example of a tractable field theoretical model for the Hodge theory.

Hodge-Tate Theory

This thesis aims to expose the amazing sequence of ideas, concerning p-adic representations coming from geometry, that form the heart of what was called Hodge-Tate theory. This subject, initiated by Tate in the late ’60s in analogy to classical Hodge theory, leads in to the now vast and highly fruitful program of p-adic Hodge Theory. The central result of the theory is the Hodge-Tate decomposit...
