3 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI RESONANCE VARIETIES OF A CDGA RESONANCE VARIETIES OF A CDGA Let A pa, dq be a commutative, differential graded C-algebra. Multiplication : A i b A j Ñ A i`j is graded-commutative. Differential d: A i Ñ A i`1 satisfies the graded Leibnitz rule. Assume A is connected, i.e., A 0 C. A is of finite-type, i.e., dim A i ă 8 for all i ě 0. For each a P Z 1 paq H 1 paq, we get a cochain complex, pa, δ a q: A 0 δ 0 a A 1 δ 1 a A 2 δ 2 a, with differentials δ i apuq a u ` d u, for all u P A i. Resonance varieties: R i paq ta P H 1 paq H i pa, δ a q 0u. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

4 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI RESONANCE VARIETIES OF A CDGA Fix C-basis te 1,..., e n u for H 1 paq, and let tx 1,..., x n u be dual basis for H 1 paq H 1 paq _. Identify SympH 1 paqq with S Crx 1,..., x n s, the coordinate ring of the affine space H 1 paq. Define a cochain complex of free S-modules, pa bs, δq: A i b S δi A i`1 b S δi`1 A i`2 b S, where δ i pu b sq ř n j 1 e ju b sx j ` d u b s. The specialization of A b S at a P H 1 paq coincides with pa, δ a q. The cohomology support loci r R i paq suppph i pa b S, δqq are subvarieties of H 1 paq.

5 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI RESONANCE VARIETIES OF A CDGA Let pa b S, Bq be the dual chain complex. The homology support loci r Ri paq suppph i pa b S, Bqq are subvarieties of H 1 paq. Using a result of [Papadima S. 2014], we obtain: THEOREM For each q ě 0, the duality isomorphism H 1 paq H 1 paq restricts to an isomorphism Ť iďq Ri paq Ť iďq r R i paq. We also have R i paq R i paq. In general, though, R ri paq fl R r i paq. If d 0, then all the resonance varieties of A are homogeneous. In general, though, they are not.

6 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI RESONANCE VARIETIES OF A CDGA EXAMPLE Let A be the exterior algebra on generators a, b in degree 1, endowed with the differential given by d a 0 and d b b a. H 1 paq C, generated by a. Set S Crxs. Then: A b S : S B 0 2 x 1 S 2 B 1 p x 0 q S. Hence, H 1 pa b Sq S{px 1q, and so r R 1 paq t1u. Using the above theorem, we conclude that R 1 paq t0, 1u. R 1 paq is a non-homogeneous subvariety of C. H 1 pa b Sq S{pxq, and so r R 1 paq t0u r R 1 paq. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

7 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI RESONANCE VARIETIES OF A SPACE RESONANCE VARIETIES OF A SPACE Let X be a connected, finite-type CW-complex. We may take A H px, Cq with d 0, and get the usual resonance varieties, R i pxq : R i paq. Or, we may take pa, dq to be a finite-type cdga, weakly equivalent to Sullivan s model A PL pxq, if such a cdga exists. If X is formal, then (H px, Cq, d 0) is such a finite-type model. Finite-type cdga models exist even for possibly non-formal spaces, such as nilmanifolds and solvmanifolds, Sasakian manifolds, smooth quasi-projective varieties, etc. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

8 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI RESONANCE VARIETIES OF A SPACE THEOREM (MACINIC, PAPADIMA, POPESCU, S. 2013) Suppose there is a finite-type CDGA pa, dq such that A PL pxq» A. Then, for each i ě 0, the tangent cone at 0 to the resonance variety R i paq is contained in R i pxq. In general, we cannot replace TC 0 pr i paqq by R i paq. EXAMPLE Let X S 1, and take A Ź pa, bq with d a 0, d b b a. Then R 1 paq t0, 1u is not contained in R 1 pxq t0u, though TC 0 pr 1 paqq t0u is. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

9 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI RESONANCE VARIETIES OF A SPACE A rationally defined CDGA pa, dq has positive weights if each A i can be decomposed into weighted pieces A i α, with positive weights in degree 1, and in a manner compatible with the CDGA structure: 1 A i À αpz Ai α. 2 A 1 α 0, for all α ď 0. 3 If a P A i α and b P A j β, then ab P Ai`j α`β and d a P Ai`1 α. A space X is said to have positive weights if A PL pxq does. If X is formal, then X has positive weights, but not conversely. THEOREM (DIMCA PAPADIMA 2014, MPPS) Suppose there is a rationally defined, finite-type CDGA pa, dq with positive weights, and a q-equivalence between A PL pxq and A preserving Q-structures. Then, for each i ď q, 1 R i paq is a finite union of rationally defined linear subspaces of H 1 paq. 2 R i paq Ď R i pxq. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

10 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI RESONANCE VARIETIES OF A SPACE EXAMPLE Let X be the 3-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifold. All cup products of degree 1 classes vanish; thus, R 1 pxq H 1 px, Cq C 2. Model A Ź pa, b, cq generated in degree 1, with d a d b 0 and d c a b. This is a finite-dimensional model, with positive weights: wtpaq wtpbq 1, wtpcq 2. Writing S Crx, ys, we get A b S : S 3 y 0 0 x x y S 3 p x y 0 q S. Hence H 1 pa b Sq S{px, yq, and so R 1 paq t0u. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

11 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI CHARACTERISTIC VARIETIES CHARACTERISTIC VARIETIES Let X be a finite-type, connected CW-complex. π π 1 px, x 0 q: a finitely generated group. CharpXq Hompπ, C q: an abelian, algebraic group. CharpXq 0 pc q n, where n b 1 pxq. Characteristic varieties of X: V i pxq tρ P CharpXq H i px, C ρ q 0u. THEOREM (LIBGOBER 2002, DIMCA PAPADIMA S. 2009) τ 1 pv i pxqq Ď TC 1 pv i pxqq Ď R i pxq Here, if W Ă pc q n is an algebraic subset, then τ 1 pw q : tz P C n exppλzq P W, for all λ P Cu. This is a finite union of rationally defined linear subspaces of C n. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

12 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI CHARACTERISTIC VARIETIES THEOREM (DIMCA PAPADIMA 2014) Suppose A PL pxq is q-equivalent to a finite-type model pa, dq. Then V i pxq p1q R i paq p0q, for all i ď q. COROLLARY If X is a q-formal space, then V i pxq p1q R i pxq p0q, for all i ď q. A precursor to corollary can be found in work of Green Lazarsfeld on the cohomology jump loci of compact Kähler manifolds. The case when q 1 was first established in [DPS-2009]. Further developments in work of Budur Wang [2013]. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

13 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI THE TANGENT CONE THEOREM THE TANGENT CONE THEOREM THEOREM Suppose A PL pxq is q-equivalent to a finite-type CDGA A. ď q, 1 TC 1 pv i pxqq TC 0 pr i paqq. 2 If, moreover, A has positive weights, and the q-equivalence A PL pxq» A preserves Q-structures, then TC 1 pv i pxqq R i paq. THEOREM (DPS-2009, DP-2014) Suppose X is a q-formal space. Then, for all i ď q, τ 1 pv i pxqq TC 1 pv i pxqq R i pxq. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

14 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI THE TANGENT CONE THEOREM COROLLARY If X is q-formal, then, for all i ď q, 1 All irreducible components of R i pxq are rationally defined subspaces of H 1 px, Cq. 2 All irreducible components of V i pxq which pass through the origin are algebraic subtori of CharpXq 0, of the form expplq, where L runs through the linear subspaces comprising R i pxq. The Tangent Cone theorem can be used to detect non-formality. EXAMPLE Let π xx 1, x 2 rx 1, rx 1, x 2 ssy. Then V 1 pπq tt 1 1u, and so τ 1 pv 1 pπqq TC 1 pv 1 pπqq tx 1 0u. On the other hand, R 1 pπq C 2, and so π is not 1-formal. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

15 COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI THE TANGENT CONE THEOREM EXAMPLE (DPS 2009) Let π xx 1,..., x 4 rx 1, x 2 s, rx 1, x 4 srx 2 2, x 3s, rx 1 1, x 3srx 2, x 4 sy. Then R 1 pπq tz P C 4 z1 2 2z2 2 0u: a quadric which splits into two linear subspaces over R, but is irreducible over Q. Thus, π is not 1-formal. EXAMPLE (S. YANG ZHAO 2015) Let π be a finitely presented group with π ab Z 3 and V 1 pπq pt 1, t 2, t 3 q P pc q 3 pt 2 1q pt 1 ` 1qpt 3 1q (, This is a complex, 2-dimensional torus passing through the origin, but this torus does not embed as an algebraic subgroup in pc q 3. Indeed, τ 1 pv 1 pπqq tx 2 x 3 0u Y tx 1 x 3 x 2 2x 3 0u. Hence, π is not 1-formal. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

16 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES GYSIN MODELS AND COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI GYSIN MODELS Let X be a (connected) smooth quasi-projective variety. Let X be a good" compactification, i.e., X XzD, for some normal-crossings divisor D td 1,..., D m u. Algebraic model: A ApX, Dq (Morgan s Gysin model): a rationally defined, bigraded CDGA, with A i À p`q i Ap,q and A p,q à S q H p č kps D k, C p qq Multiplication A p,q A p1,q 1 Ď A p`p1,q`q 1 from cup-product in X. Differential d: A p,q Ñ A p`2,q 1 from intersections of divisors. Model has positive weights: wtpa p,q q p ` 2q. Improved version by Dupont [2013]: divisor D is allowed to have arangement-like" singularities. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

17 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES GYSIN MODELS AND COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI Suppose X Σ is a connected, smooth algebraic curve. Then Σ admits a canonical compactification, Σ, and thus, a canonical Gysin model, ApΣq. EXAMPLE Let Σ E be a once-punctured elliptic curve. Then Σ E, and ApΣq ľ pa, b, eq{pae, beq where a, b are in bidegree p1, 0q and e in bidegree p0, 1q, while d a d b 0 and d e ab.

18 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES GYSIN MODELS AND COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI THE TANGENT CONE THEOREM THEOREM (BUDUR, WANG 2013) Let X be a smooth quasi-projective variety. Then each characteristic variety V i pxq is a finite union of torsion-translated subtori of CharpXq. THEOREM Let ApXq be a Gysin model for X. Then, for each i ě 0, τ 1 pv i pxqq TC 1 pv i pxqq R i papxqq Ď R i pxq. Moreover, if X is q-formal, the last inclusion is an equality, for all i ď q. EXAMPLE Let X be the C -bundle over E S 1 ˆ S 1 with e 1. Then V 1 pxq t1u, and so τ 1 pv 1 pxqq TC 1 pv 1 pxqq t0u. On the other hand, R 1 pxq C 2, and so X is not 1-formal.

19 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES GYSIN MODELS AND COHOMOLOGY JUMP LOCI A holomorphic map f : X Ñ Σ is admissible if f is surjective, has connected generic fiber, and the target Σ is a connected, smooth complex curve with χpxq ă 0. THEOREM (ARAPURA 1997) The map f ÞÑ f pcharpσqq yields a bijection between the set E X of equivalence classes of admissible maps X Ñ Σ and the set of positive-dimensional, irreducible components of V 1 pxq containing 1. THEOREM (DP 2014, MPPS 2013) R 1 papxqq ď THEOREM (DPS 2009) f PE X f ph 1 papσqqq. Suppose X is 1-formal. Then R 1 pxq Ť f PE X f ph 1 pσ, Cqq. Moreover, all the linear subspaces in this decomposition have dimension ě 2, and any two distinct ones intersect only at 0.

20 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES HYPERPLANE ARRANGEMENTS AND MILNOR FIBERS HYPERPLANE ARRANGEMENTS An arrangement of hyperplanes is a finite set A of codimension-1 linear subspaces in C n. Its complement, MpAq C l z Ť HPA H, is a Stein manifold; thus, it is homotopic to a connected, finite cell complex of dimension n. The space M MpAq is formal, and so the OS-algebra A H pm, Cq (with zero differential) is a model for M. THEOREM (FALK YUZVINSKY 2007) The set E M is in bijection with multinets on sub-arrangements of A. Each such k-multinet gives rise to a pk 1q-dimensional linear subspace of the resonance variety R 1 pmq Ă H 1 pm, Cq, and all components of R 1 pmq arise in this fashion.

21 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES HYPERPLANE ARRANGEMENTS AND MILNOR FIBERS MILNOR FIBRATION For each H P A let α H be a linear form with kerpα H q H, and let Q ś HPA α H be a defining polynomial for A. The restriction of the map Q : C n Ñ C to the complement is a smooth fibration, Q : M Ñ C. The typical fiber of this fibration, Q 1 p1q, is called the Milnor fiber of the arrangement, and is denoted by F FpAq. The monodromy diffeomorphism, h : F Ñ F, is given by hpzq expp2πi{mqz, where m A. A h F F ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

22 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES HYPERPLANE ARRANGEMENTS AND MILNOR FIBERS PROBLEM Let A be a hyperplane arrangement, with Milnor fiber F FpAq. 1 Find a good compactification F. 2 Does the monodromy h : F Ñ F extend to a diffeomorphism h : F Ñ F? 3 Write down an explicit presentation for the resulting Gysin model, ApFq. 4 Compute the resonance varieties R i papfqq and R i pfq, and decide whether they depend only on the intersection lattice of A. 5 Decide whether these varieties coincide, and, if so, whether F paq is formal. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

23 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES HYPERPLANE ARRANGEMENTS AND MILNOR FIBERS EXAMPLE (ZUBER 2010) Let A be the arrangement in C 3 defined by Q pz 3 1 z3 2 qpz3 1 z3 3 qpz3 2 z3 3 q. The variety R 1 pmq Ă C 9 has 12 local components (from triple points), and 4 essential components (from 3-nets). One of these 3-nets corresponds to the rational map CP 2 CP 1, pz 1, z 2, z 3 q ÞÑ pz 3 1 z3 2, z3 2 z3 3 q. This map can be used to construct a 4-dimensional subtorus T expplq inside CharpFpAqq pc q 12. The linear subspace L Ă H 1 pfpaq, Cq is not a component of R 1 pfpaqq. Thus, the tangent cone formula is violated, and so the Milnor fiber FpAq is not 1-formal. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

24 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES ELLIPTIC ARRANGEMENTS ELLIPTIC ARRANGEMENTS An elliptic arrangement is a collection A th 1,..., H m u of subvarieties in a product of elliptic curves E n. Each H i P A is required to be of the form H i f 1 i pζ i q, for some ζ i P E and some homomorphism f i : E ˆn Ñ E given by nÿ f i pz 1,..., z n q c ij z j j 1 pc ij P Zq. Let corank n rankpc ij q and say A is essential if corankpaq 0. THEOREM (DENHAM, S., YUZVINSKY 2014) If A is essential, then the complement MpAq is a Stein manifold. MpAq is both a duality space and an abelian duality space of dimension n ` r, where r corankpaq. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

25 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES ELLIPTIC ARRANGEMENTS Let LpAq denote the poset of all connected components of intersections elliptic hyperplanes from A, ordered by inclusion. We say A is unimodular if all subspaces in LpAq are connected. Let ApAq Ź pa 1, b 1,..., a n, b n, e 1,..., e m q{ipaq, where IpAq is the ideal generated by the Orlik Solomon relations among the ei 1 s, together with f i paq e i and fi pbq e i, for 1 ď i ď m. Define d: A paq Ñ A `1 paq by setting d a i d b i 0 and d e i fi paq fi pbq. THEOREM (BIBBY 2013) Let A be an unimodular elliptic arrangement, and let papaq, dq be the (rationally defined) CDGA from above. There is then a weak equivalence A PL pmpaqq» ApAq preserving Q-structures. ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

26 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES ELLIPTIC ARRANGEMENTS THEOREM Let A be an unimodular elliptic arrangement. Then, for each i ě 0, τ 1 pv i pmpaqqq TC 1 pv i pmpaqqq R i papaqq Ď R i pmpaqq, with equality for i ď q if MpAq if q-formal. PROBLEM Let A be an unimodular elliptic arrangement, with complement MpAq and intersection poset LpAq. 1 Is the cohomology algebra H pmpaq, Cq determined by LpAq? 2 Are the resonance varieties R i papaqq and R i pmpaqq determined by LpAq? 3 Is there a combinatorial criterion to decide whether these varieties coincide, and, if so, whether MpAq is formal? ALEX SUCIU (NORTHEASTERN) ALGEBRAIC MODELS AND JUMP LOCI PISA, FEB. 24, / 28

27 QUASI-PROJECTIVE VARIETIES ELLIPTIC ARRANGEMENTS EXAMPLE Let A be the arrangement in E ˆ2 defined by the polynomial f z 1 z 2 pz 1 z 2 q. Then MpAq ConfpE, 2q, the configuration space of 2 labeled points on a punctured elliptic curve. Direct computation yields R 1 pmpaqq tpx 1, x 2, y 1, y 2 q P C 4 x 1 y 2 x 2 y 1 0u, R 1 papaqq tx 1 y 1 0uYtx 2 y 2 0uYtx 1`x 2 y 1`y 2 0u. Thus, MpAq is not 1-formal.
