$n$-excisive functors, canonical connections, and line bundles on the Ran space

Non-effective Deformations of Grothendieck's Hilbert Functor

Let X be a scheme that does not satisfy the valuative criterion of separatedness. We show that the Hilbert functor parametrizing closed families of X that are flat, finite and of rank one is not represented by a scheme or an algebraic space.

The functor of toric varieties associated with Weyl chambers and Losev-Manin moduli spaces

A root system $R$ of rank $n$ defines an $n$-dimensional smooth projective toric variety $X(R)$ associated with its fan of Weyl chambers. We give a simple description of the functor of $X(R)$ in terms of the root system $R$ and apply this result in the case of root systems of type $A$ to give a new proof of the fact that the toric variety $X(A_n)$ is the fine moduli space $\bar{L}_{n+1}$ of stable $(n+1)$-pointed chains of projective lines investigated by Losev and Manin.

Serre duality for non-commutative P^1-bundles

Let E be a locally free, rank n bimodule over a smooth projective scheme X, and let A be the non-commutative symmetric algebra generated by E. We construct an internal Hom functor on the category of graded right A-modules. When E has rank 2, we prove that A is Gorenstein by computing the right derived functors of the internal Hom functor. When X is a smooth projective variety, we use the Gorensteinness of A to prove a version of Serre duality on Proj A, the non-commutative P^1 bundle defined by A.

Homotopy invariance of non-stable K_1-functors

Let G be reductive algebraic group over a field k, such that every semisimple normal subgroup of G has isotropic rank >=2. Let K_1^G be the non-stable K_1-functor associated to G (also called the Whitehead group of G in the field case). We show that K_1^G(k)=K_1^G(k[X_1,...,X_n]) for any n>= 1. This implies that K_1^G is A^1-homotopy invariant on the category of regular k-algebras, if k is perfect. If k is infinite perfect, one also deduces that K_1^G(R)-> K_1^G(K) is injective for any regular local k-algebra R with the fraction field K.

Representation stability, secondary stability, and polynomial functors

We prove a general representation stability result for polynomial coefficient systems which lets us prove representation stability and secondary homological stability for many families of groups with polynomial coefficients. This gives two generalizations of classical homological stability theorems with twisted coefficients. We apply our results to prove homological stability for hyperelliptic mapping class groups with twisted coefficients, prove new representation stability results for congruence subgroups, establish secondary homological stability for groups of diffeomorphisms of surfaces vi…
