In this paper we introduce flat grafting as a deformation of quadratic differentials on a surface of finite type that is analogous to the grafting map on hyperbolic surfaces. Flat grafting maps are generic in the strata structure and…

A simple MATLAB implementation of hierarchical shape functions on 2D rectangles is explained and available for download. Global shape functions are ordered for a given polynomial degree according to the indices of the nodes, edges, or…

We study anisotropic universal quadratic forms over semi-global fields; i.e., over one-variable function fields over complete discretely valued fields. In particular, given a semi-global field $F$, we compute both the $m$-invariant of $F$…

We introduce the notion of "quasi-symmetric" polynomials, which is a generalization of the notion of symmetry, and is particularly suited to the setting of polynomial rings over finite fields. The properties of this new class of functions…

We generalize the explicit quadratic Chabauty techniques for integral points on odd degree hyperelliptic curves and for rational points on genus 2 bielliptic curves to arbitrary number fields using restriction of scalars. This is achieved…

Let $ n \ge 2$ be an integer. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integral quadratic form over dyadic local fields to be $ n $-universal by using invariants from Beli's theory of bases of norm generators. Also, we provide a…

In this paper, we apply the Taylor--Wiles--Kisin patching method to the coherent cohomology of modular curves at minimal level. We establish a multiplicity-one result for the patched module by the $q$-expansion principle and show that a…

We consider local-global principles for torsors under linear algebraic groups, over function fields of curves over complete discretely valued fields. The obstruction to such a principle is a version of the Tate-Shafarevich group; and for…

We study differential $p$-forms on non-smooth and possibly fractal metric measure spaces, endowed with a local Dirichlet form. Using this local Dirichlet form, we prove a result on the localization of antisymmetric functions of $p+1$…

A regularization procedure developed in [1] for the integral curvature invariants on manifolds with conical singularities is generalized to the case of squashed cones. In general, the squashed conical singularities do not have rotational…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over a number field k. It is shown how Emerton's methods may be applied to the problem of p-adically interpolating the metaplectic forms on G, i.e. the automorphic forms on metaplectic covers of G, as…

We establish a valuative version of Grothendieck's section conjecture for curves over p-adic local fields. The image of every section is contained in the decomposition subgroup of a valuation which prolongs the p-adic valuation to the…

Bhargava introduced a generalization of the factorial function to extend classical results in integers to Dedekind rings and unify them. We study the Bhargava factorial of the images of polynomial maps from an analytic perspective. We first…

This paper presents fundamental algorithms for the computational theory of quadratic forms over number fields. In the first part of the paper, we present algorithms for checking if a given non-degenerate quadratic form over a fixed number…

We prove a triangulation theorem for semi-algebraic sets over a p-adically closed field, quite similar to its real counterpart. We derive from it several applications like the existence of flexible retractions and splitting for…

We survey some recent applications of p-adic cohomology to machine computation of zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields of small characteristic, and suggest some new avenues for further exploration.

We relate various approaches to coefficient systems in relative integral $p$-adic Hodge theory, working in the geometric context over the ring of integers of a perfectoid field. These include small generalised representations over…

The study of regular incidence structures such as projective planes and symmetric block designs is a well established topic in discrete mathematics. Work of Bruck, Ryser and Chowla in the mid-twentieth century applied the Hasse-Minkowski…

In this paper we first describe the method of field patching, developed by Harbater and Hartmann, paying special attention to the relationship between factorization and local-global principles, and second, we extend the basic factorization…
