We present a short, digested, human-verified version of the recent OpenAI-generated counterexample to the Erd\H{o}s unit distance conjecture, and a sequence of reflections on it. The argument relies crucially on ideas that may, at least in…

We generalize the finiteness theorem for the locus of Hodge classes with fixed self-intersection number, due to Cattani, Deligne, and Kaplan, from Hodge classes to self-dual classes. The proof uses the definability of period mappings in the…

We address two questions related to the semiampleness of line bundles arising from Hodge theory. First, we prove there is a functorial compactification of the image of a period map of a polarizable integral pure variation of Hodge…

Let $C/k$ be a smooth curve over a finite field of characteristic $p>0$. We prove that there are finitely many principally polarized abelian schemes of given dimension $g$ over $C$ up to $p$-power isogeny. For curves over $\overline{k}$, we…

We determine the maximal dimension of compact subvarieties of $\mathcal{A}_g$, the moduli space of complex principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g$, and the maximal dimension of a compact subvariety through a very general…

Given a period map defined over a quasi-projective variety, we construct a completion with rich geometric and Hodge-theoretic meaning. This result may be regarded as an analog of Mumford's toroidal compactification for locally symmetric…

We determine the smoothed counts of $S_4$-quartic fields with bounded discriminant, satisfying any finite specified set of local conditions, as the sum of two main terms with a power saving error term. We also prove an analogous result for…

We prove that the smoothed counting function of the set of quartic fields, satisfying any finite set of local conditions, can be written as a linear combination of $X,X^{5/6}\log X,X^{5/6}$, upto an error term of $O(X^{13/16+o(1)})$. For…

This report presents a taxonomy and examples of potential omnicidal events resulting from AI: scenarios where all or almost all humans are killed. These events are not presented as inevitable, but as possibilities that we can work to avoid.…

We prove the existence of abelian varieties not isogenous to Jacobians over characterstic $p$ function fields. Our methods involve studying the action of degree $p$ Hecke operators on hypersymmetric points, as well as their effect on the…

We prove that Shimura varieties admit integral canonical models for sufficiently large primes. In the case of abelian-type Shimura varieties, this recovers work of Kisin-Kottwitz for sufficiently large primes. We also prove the existence of…

The main purpose of this work is to prove the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture in full generality.

We prove that for every Shimura variety $S$, there is an integral model $\mathcal{S}$ such that all CM points of $S$ have good reduction with respect to $\mathcal{S}$. In other words, every CM point is contained in…

Given a smooth proper family $\phi:X\rightarrow S$, we study the (quasi)-periods of the fibers of $\phi$ as (germs of) functions on $S$. We show that they field they generate has the same algebraic closure as that given by the flag variety…

We prove that the universal cover of a normal complex algebraic variety admitting a faithful complex representation of its fundamental group is an analytic Zariski open subset of a holomorphically convex complex space. This is a non-proper…

This paper investigates the relationship between the Riemann hypothesis and the statement $\forall n, ~g(n) \le e^{\sqrt{p_n}}$, where $g(n)$ is the maximum order of an element of $S_n$, the symmetric group on $n$ elements, and $p_n$ is the…

We prove a functional transcendence theorem for the integrals of algebraic forms in families of algebraic varieties. This allows us to prove a geometric version of Andr\'e's generalization of the Grothendieck period conjecture, which we…

We prove new conditional bounds on the the $m$-torsion of class groups of number fields of any fixed degree, for $m=2$, $3$, $4$, and $5$. Our methods first recast the problem in the language of class groups of Galois modules, which allows…

We prove that for any two integers $g\geq 4$ and $g'\leq 2g-1$, there exist abelian varieties over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ which are not quotients of a Jacobian of dimension $g'$. Our method in fact proves that most Abelian varieties…

We consider surfaces with a double elliptic fibration, with two sections. We study the orbits under the induced translation automorphisms proving that, under natural conditions, the finite orbits are confined to a curve. This goes in a…
