Cohomology on the incidence correspondence and related questions

We study a variety of questions centered around the computation of cohomology of line bundles on the incidence correspondence (the partial flag variety parametrizing pairs consisting of a point in projective space and a hyperplane containing it). Over a field of characteristic zero, this problem is resolved by the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem. In positive characteristic, we give recursive formulas for cohomology, generalizing work of Donkin and Liu in the case of the 3-dimensional flag variety. In characteristic 2, we provide non-recursive formulas describing the cohomology characters in terms of truncated Schur polynomials and Nim symmetric polynomials. The main technical ingredient in our work is the recursive description of the splitting type of vector bundles of principal parts on the projective line. We also discuss properties of the structure constants in the graded Han-Monsky representation ring, and explain how our cohomology calculation characterizes the Weak Lefschetz Property for Artinian monomial complete intersections.

Lefschetz properties for monomial complete intersections

We give a complete characterization of the weak Lefschetz property (WLP) for monomial complete intersections over a field of positive characteristic. Richard Stanley observed that in characteristic zero WLP, and in fact the strong Lefschetz property (SLP), holds for all degree sequences, as a consequence of the hard Lefschetz theorem, and the same result was explained by Junzo Watanabe using the representation theory of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. In positive characteristic, many partial results are known, most notably the classification for constant degree sequences due to Brenner--Kaid and Kustin--Vraciu. Our approach is based on a cohomological and representation-theoretic interpretation of WLP. Combined with an analysis of cohomology characters, this leads to a complete numerical criterion for WLP, expressed by simple inequalities involving the $p$-adic digits of the exponents. We also give a new proof of the known classification of SLP using Renaud's algorithm for multiplication in the Green--Han--Monsky ring.

Cohomology characters on the incidence correspondence

We investigate the cohomology of line bundles on the incidence correspondence, the partial flag variety parametrizing pairs consisting of a point in projective space and a hyperplane containing it. In characteristic zero, this cohomology is governed by the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem. In characteristic p>0, however, it becomes considerably subtler, and admits an equivalent reformulation in terms of cohomology tables for divided powers of the cotangent bundle on projective space. Our approach to the problem involves passing to infinitesimal thickenings of the incidence correspondence inside the ambient product of projective spaces. This leads to recursive formulas for the cohomology, generalizing earlier work of Donkin, of Liu, and of Gao-Raicu. We obtain generating functions for cohomology characters, expressed using truncated Schur polynomials and symmetric polynomials encoding the higher structure constants of the Verlinde algebras of SU(2) at levels (p-2) and (2p-2). Along the way, we exploit two important connections with multiplication in the graded Green-Han-Monsky representation ring: one relates this ring to cohomology, and another connects to the Verlinde algebras through the work of Coulembier-Etingof-Ostrik.

Nil modules and the envelope of a submodule

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring and $N$ be a submodule of an $R$-module $M$. The submodule $\langle E_M(N)\rangle$ generated by the envelope $E_M(N)$ of $N$ is instrumental in studying rings and modules that satisfy the radical formula. We show that: 1) the semiprime radical is an invariant on all the submodules which are respectively generated by envelopes in the ascending chain of envelopes of a given submodule; 2) for rings that satisfy the radical formula, $\langle E_M(0)\rangle$ is an idempotent radical and it induces a torsion theory whose torsion class consists of all nil $R$-modules and the torsionfree class consists of all reduced $R$-modules; and 3) Noetherian uniserial modules satisfy the semiprime radical formula and their semiprime radical is a nil module.

Computing the cohomology of line bundles on the incidence correspondence and related invariants

We describe the package "IncidenceCorrespondenceCohomology" for the computer algebra system Macaulay2. The main feature concerns the computation of characters and dimensions for the cohomology groups of line bundles on the incidence correspondence (the partial flag variety parametrizing pairs consisting of a point in projective space and a hyperplane containing it). Additionally, the package provides tools for (1) computing the multiplication in the graded Han-Monsky representation ring, (2) determining the splitting type of vector bundles of principal parts on the projective line, and (3) testing the weak and strong Lefschetz properties for Artinian monomial complete intersections.

Generalised reduced modules

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring, $a\in R$ and $t$ a positive integer. $a^{t}$-reduced $R$-modules and universally $a^{t}$-reduced $R$-modules are defined and their properties given. Known (resp. new) results about reduced $R$-modules are retrieved (resp. obtained) by taking $t=1$ and results about reduced rings are deduced.

The locally nilradical for modules over commutative rings

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring and $a\in R.$ We introduce and study properties of a functor $aΓ_{a}(-),$ called the locally nilradical on the category of $R$-modules. $aΓ_{a}(-)$ is a generalisation of both the torsion functor (also called section functor) and Baer's lower nilradical for modules. Several local-global properties of the functor $aΓ_{a}(-)$ are established. As an application, results about reduced $R$-modules are obtained and hitherto unknown ring theoretic radicals as well as structural theorems are deduced.
