We relate poles of local Godement-Jacquet L-functions to distributions on matrix spaces with singular supports. As an application, we show the irreducibility of the full theta lifts to $GL_n(F)$ of generic irreducible representations of…

In this paper, we prove the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups with coefficients in an additive category. We also extend our results to groups of the form, Z[1/p] semidirect product with any virtually cyclic…

Using Galois representations attached to elliptic curves, we construct Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with group $GL_2(p)$ in which all decomposition groups are cyclic. This is the first such realization for all primes $p$.

In April, 2006, Kontsevich asked me whether the category of motives over F_p (p prime) has a fibre functor over a number field of finite degree since he had a conjecture that more-or-less implied this. This article is my response.…

We prove that function fields of varieties of dimension at least two over an algebraic closure of a finite field are determined, modulo purely inseparable extensions, by the quotient by the second term in the lower central series of their…

We prove a continued fraction expansion for a certain q--tangent function that was conjectured by Prodinger.

We give a conjectural presentation of the infinitely generated group PGL(2,Q) with an infinite list of relators.

Let F be a finite field of odd cardinality, and let G= GL2(F). The group G \times G \times G acts on F^2 \otimes F^2 \otimes F^2 via symplectic similitudes, and has a natural Weil representation. Answering a question rasised by V. Drinfeld,…

Let $\hat{F}$ be a free pro-$p$ non-abelian group, and let $\Delta$ be a commutative Noetherian complete local ring with a maximal ideal $I$ such that $\textrm{char}(\Delta/I)=p>0$. In [Zu], Zubkov showed that when $p\neq2$, the pro-$p$…

Let G be the group of points of a quasi-split reductive algebraic group over a local field F. It follows from the local Langlands conjectures that to every non-trivial additive character of F and every representation of the Langlands dual…

We generalize the theory of the second invariant cohomology group $H^2_{\rm inv}(G)$ for finite groups $G$, developed in [Da2,Da3,GK], to the case of affine algebraic groups $G$, using the methods of [EG1,EG2,G]. In particular, we show that…

We formulate a number of related generalisations of the weight part of Serre's conjecture to the case of GL(n) over an arbitrary number field, motivated by the formalism of the Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture. We give evidence for these…

We prove a continued fraction expansion for a certain $q$-tangent function that was conjectured by the present writer, then proved by Fulmek, now in a completely elementary way.

Let $L$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We calculate the dimension of $\text{Ext}^1$-groups of certain locally analytic representations of $\text{GL}_2(L)$ defined using coherent cohomology of Drinfeld curves. Furthermore, let…

We prove the Tate conjecture for divisor classes and the Mumford-Tate conjecture for the cohomology in degree 2 for varieties with $h^{2,0}=1$ over a finitely generated field of characteristic 0, under a mild assumption on their moduli. As…

In this paper we prove that, under suitable assumptions on {\alpha} > 0, the operator L = (1 + |x|{\alpha})\Delta admits realizations generating contraction or analytic semigroups in Lp (RN). For some values of {\alpha}, we also explicitly…

The main objective of this article is to study the topology of the fibers of a generic rational function of the type $F^p/G^q$ in the projective space of dimension two. We will prove that the action of the monodromy group on a single…

Assume that the section conjecture holds over number fields. We prove then that it holds for a broad class of curves defined over finitely generated extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$. This class contains every projective, hyperelliptic curve,…

We prove the following theorem: Let $\bar\F_p$ be an algebraic closure of a finite field of characteristic $p$. Let $\rho$ be a continuous homomorphism from the absolute Galois group of $\Q$ to $\GL(3,\bar\F_p)$ which is isomorphic to a…

Building on work of J. Robinson and A. Shlapentokh, we develop a general framework to obtain definability and decidability results of large classes of infinite algebraic extensions of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$. As an application, we show that for…
