The well-known fact that all elliptic curves are modular, proven by Wiles, Taylor, Breuil, Conrad and Diamond, leaves open the question whether there exists a 'nice' representation of the modular form associated to each elliptic curve. Here…
We generalize the prior linked symplectic Grassmannian construction, applying it to to prove smoothing results for rank-2 limit linear series with fixed special determinant on chains of curves. We apply this general machinery to prove new…
In this paper we extend first the Bismut-Lott's analytic torsion form for flat vector bundles to the boundary case, then we establish its gluing formula on a smooth fibration under the assumption that a fiberwise Morse function exists. We…
A Bessel field $\mathcal{B}=\{\mathcal{B}(\alpha,t), \alpha\in\mathbb{N}_0, t\in\mathbb{R}\}$ is a two-variable random field such that for every $(\alpha,t)$, $\mathcal{B}(\alpha,t)$ has the law of a Bessel point process with index…
A bounded curvature path is a continuously differentiable piecewise $C^2$ path with a bounded absolute curvature that connects two points in the tangent bundle of a surface. In this work, we analyze the homotopy classes of bounded curvature…
We use the exterior product of double forms to reformulate celebrated classical results of linear algebra about matrices and bilinear forms namely the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, Laplace expansion of the determinant, Newton identities and…
The purpose of this paper is to compute determinant index bundles of certain families of Real Dirac type operators on Klein surfaces as elements in the corresponding Grothendieck group of Real line bundles in the sense of Atiyah. On a Klein…
We provide a thorough construction of a system of compatible determinant line bundles over spaces of Fredholm operators, fully verify that this system satisfies a number of important properties, and include explicit formulas for all…
In the previous paper, the author showed that for a smooth family $X \to \mathbb{X} \to B$ of a homotopy $K3$ surface, the obstruction for the tangent bundle along the fibers $T_B \mathbb{X}$ to have a spin structure is canonically…
New expansionary and rotational quadratic forms are constructed for $E^n$-endomorphisms. Relations amongst the various eigenvalues, eigendirections and matrix invariants are established, including propositions on complexity and geometric…
We consider the relative canonical line bundle $K_{\mathcal{X}/\mathcal{T}}$ and a relatively ample line bundle $(L, e^{-\phi})$ over the total space $ \mathcal{X}\to \mathcal{T}$ of fibration over the Teichm\"uller space by Riemann…
Exploring the extent of model dependence, we study effects of certain Ansaetze for the T-dependence of the correction term in the QCD topological susceptibility. The one producing unwanted effects on results at T > 0 in the eta'-eta complex…
A cuspidal end is a type of metric singularity, described as a product $S^1 \times \left] a, +\infty \right[$ with the Poincar\'e metric. The underlying set can also be seen as $\mathbb{R} \times \left] a, +\infty \right[$ subject to the…
In an earlier paper [Acta Mathematica, v. 176, 1996, 145-169, alg-geom/9505024 ] the present authors and Dennis Sullivan constructed the universal direct system of the classical Teichm\"uller spaces of Riemann surfaces of varying genus. The…
Gauss and Dedekind have shown a bijection between the set of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$-equivalence classes of primitive positive definite binary quadratic $\mathbb{Z}$-forms of the discriminant of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\Delta<0})$ and the…
Let $A(t)$ be an elliptic, product-type suspended (which is to say parameter-dependant in a symbolic way) family of pseudodifferential operators on the fibres of a fibration $\phi$ with base $Y.$ The standard example is $A+it$ where $A$ is…
This article is an expanded version of the talk given by Ch. O. at the Second Latin Congress on "Symmetries in Geometry and Physics" in Curitiba, Brazil in December 2010. In this version we explain the topological and gauge-theoretical…
Riemann surface carries a natural line bundle, the determinant bundle. The space of sections of this line bundle (or its multiples) constitutes a natural non-abelian generalization of the spaces of theta functions on the Jacobian. There has…
We prove the Bloch--Kato conjecture for certain critical values of degree 8 $L$-functions associated to cusp forms on $\mathrm{GSp}_4 \times \mathrm{GL}_2$. We also construct a $p$-adic Eichler--Shimura isomorphism in Hida families for…
Study of the level curve for the real part of $\eta(s)=0$ with $\eta(s)=\pi^{-s/2}\Gamma(s/2)\zeta^\prime(s)$ gives a new classification of the zeros of $\zeta(s)$ and of $\zeta^\prime(s)$. We conjecture that for type 2 zeros, $\liminf…
