Normal crossing singularities and Hodge theory over Artin rings

Mixed Artin–Tate motives over number rings

This paper studies Artin–Tate motives over bases S ⊂ Spec OF , for a number field F . As a subcategory of motives over S, the triangulated category of Artin–TatemotivesDATM(S) is generated by motives φ∗1(n), where φ is any finite map. After establishing the stability of these subcategories under pullback and pushforward along open and closed immersions, a motivic t-structure is constructed. Exa...

Rings of Singularities

This paper is a slightly revised version of an introduction into singularity theory corresponding to a series of lectures given at the ``Advanced School and Conference on homological and geometrical methods in representation theory'' at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Miramare - Trieste, Italy, 11-29 January 2010. We show how to associate to a triple of posit...

Artin Approximation via the Model Theory of Cohen-macaulay Rings

We show the existence of a first order theory Cmd,e whose Noetherian models are precisely the local Cohen-Macaulay rings of dimension d and multiplicity e. The completion of a model of Cmd,e is again a model and is moreover Noetherian. If R is an equicharacteristic local Gorenstein ring of dimension d and multiplicity e with algebraically closed residue field and if the Artin Approximation Prop...

Moduli of regular holonomic D-modules with normal crossing singularities

This paper solves the global moduli problem for regular holonomic Dmodules with normal crossing singularities on a nonsingular complex projective variety. This is done by introducing a level structure (which gives rise to “pre-D-modules”), and then introducing a notion of (semi-)stability and applying Geometric Invariant Theory to construct a coarse moduli scheme for semistable pre-D-modules. A...
