Weight decomposition for toroidal abelian fibrations

We study the action of the rational multiplication by $N$ map on the Chow groups of degenerations of principally polarized abelian varieties of torus rank at most one, as well as its interaction with the Fourier transform. As applications, we compute the class of the unit section, prove a generalized weight decomposition of the relative Chow motive of the universal family of such degenerations, and completely determine its tautological ring.

IMProofBench: Benchmarking AI on Research-Level Mathematical Proof Generation

As the mathematical capabilities of large language models (LLMs) improve, it becomes increasingly important to evaluate their performance on research-level tasks at the frontier of mathematical knowledge. However, existing benchmarks are limited, as they focus solely on final-answer questions or high-school competition problems. To address this gap, we introduce IMProofBench, a private benchmark consisting of 77 peer-reviewed problems developed by expert mathematicians. Each problem requires a detailed proof and is paired with subproblems that have final answers, supporting both an evaluation by human experts and a large-scale quantitative analysis through automated grading. Furthermore, unlike prior benchmarks, the evaluation setup simulates a realistic research environment: models operate in an agentic framework with tools like web search for literature review and mathematical software such as SageMath. Our results show that current LLMs can already solve a significant percentage of research-level questions. IMProofBench will continue to evolve as a dynamic benchmark in collaboration with the mathematical community, ensuring its relevance for evaluating the next generation of LLMs.

Noether-Lefschetz cycles on the moduli space of abelian varieties

The locus of non-simple abelian varieties in the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties gives rise to Noether-Lefschetz cycles. We study their intersection theoretic properties using the tautological projection constructed in [CMOP24], and show that projection defines a homomorphism when restricted to cycles supported on that locus. Using Hecke correspondences and the pullback by Torelli we prove that $[\mathcal {A}_1 \times \mathcal A_{g-1}]$ is not tautological in the sense of [vdG99] for $g=12$ and $g\geq 16$ even. We also explore the connections between Noether-Lefschetz cycles and the Gromov-Witten theory of a moving elliptic curve.

Gromov-Witten theory of $\mathsf{Hilb}^n(\mathbb{C}^2)$ and Noether-Lefschetz theory of $\mathcal{A}_g$

We calculate the genus 1 Gromov-Witten theory of the Hilbert scheme $\mathsf{Hilb}^n(\mathbb{C}^2)$ of points in the plane. The fundamental 1-point invariant (with a divisor insertion) is calculated using a correspondence with the families local curve Gromov-Witten theory over the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{1,1}$. The answer exactly matches a parallel calculation related to the Noether-Lefschetz geometry of the moduli space $\mathcal{A}_g$ of principally polarized abelian varieties. As a consequence, we prove that the associated cycle classes satisfy a homomorphism property for the projection operator on $\mathsf{CH}^*(\mathcal{A}_g)$. The fundamental 1-point invariant determines the full genus 1 Gromov-Witten theory of $\mathsf{Hilb}^n(\mathbb{C}^2)$ modulo a nondegeneracy conjecture about the quantum cohomology. A table of calculations is given.

The Euler characteristic of $\mathcal A_g$ via Hodge integrals

We prove the Harder-Siegel formula for the Euler characteristic of $\mathcal{A}_g$ via the intersection theory of $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_g$ and a vanishing result for lambda classes on the boundary of the toroidal compactifications of $\mathcal{A}_g$, recently proven by Canning, Molcho, Oprea and Pandharipande.

Genus 0 logarithmic and tropical fixed-domain counts for Hirzebruch surfaces

For a non-singular projective toric variety $X$, the virtual logarithmic Tevelev degrees are defined as the virtual degree of the morphism from the moduli stack of logarithmic stable maps $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{\mathsfΓ}(X)$ to the product $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n} \times X^n$. In this paper, after proving the genus $0$ correspondence theorem in this setting, we use tropical methods to provide closed formulas for the case in which $X$ is a Hirzebruch surface. In order to do so, we explicitly list all the tropical curves contributing to the count.
