We construct the minimal compactification of some modular Siegel varieties at their bad reduction places. These varieties parametrize principally polarized abelian schemes endowed with a parahoric level structure at a prime number $p$, and…
Let $p$ be a prime, let $K$ be a discretely valued extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $A_{K}$ be an abelian $K$-variety with semistable reduction. Extending work by Kim and Marshall from the case where $p>2$ and $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is…
We obtain new results on the geometry of Hilbert modular varieties in positive characteristic and morphisms between them. Using these results and methods of rigid geometry, we develop a theory of canonical subgroups for abelian varieties…
We prove that the $p^\infty$-torsion of the transcendental Brauer group of an abelian variety over a finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$ is bounded. This answers a (variant of a) question asked by Skorobogatov and Zarhin for…
We describe a new approach for classifying conjugacy classes of elementary abelian subgroups in simple algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field, and understanding the normaliser and centraliser structure of these. For toral…
If the Hasse invariant of a $p$-divisible group is small enough, then one can construct a canonical subgroup inside its $p$-torsion. We remark that, assuming the existence of a subgroup of adequate height in the $p$-torsion whose dual has…
We study the Siegel modular variety $\mathcal{A}_g \otimes \overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$ of genus $g$ and its supersingular locus $\mathcal{S}_g$. As our main result we determine precisely when $\mathcal{S}_g$ is irreducible, and we list all $x$…
This paper is devoted to the more elementary aspects of the contramodule story, and can be viewed as an extended introduction to the more technically complicated arXiv:1503.05523. Reduced cotorsion abelian groups form an abelian category,…
We initiate the study of representations of elementary abelian $p$-groups via restrictions to truncated polynomial subalgebras of the group algebra generated by $r$ nilpotent elements, $k[t_1,..., t_r]/(t^p_1,..., t_r^p)$. We introduce new…
Let $p$ be a prime number and $\Bbbk=\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p$, the algebraic closure of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ of $p$ elements. Let ${\bf G}$ be a connected reductive group defined over $\mathbb{F}_p$ and ${\bf B}$ be a Borel subgroup…
Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$. If $\mathfrak{p}$ is a prime of $K$ of good reduction for $A$, let $A(K)_\mathfrak{p}$ denote the image of the Mordell-Weil group via reduction modulo $\mathfrak{p}$. We prove…
We finish the classification, begun in two earlier papers, of all simple fusion systems over finite nonabelian $p$-groups with an abelian subgroup of index $p$. In particular, this gives many new examples illustrating the enormous variety…
The main result of the paper is that if $A$ is an abelian variety over a subfield $F$ of ${\bold C}$, and $A$ has purely multiplicative reduction at a discrete valuation of $F$, then the Hodge group of $A$ is semisimple. Further, we give…
In this paper we make an initial study on type D moduli spaces in positive characteristic $p\neq 2$, where we allow $p$ ramified in the definite quaternion algebra. We classify the isogeny classes of $p$-divisible groups with additional…
Many open conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups can be studied by reducing them to related questions about quasi-simple groups. In such studies, $p$-radical subgroups typically play a critical role. To classify the…
An abelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic is supersingular if it is isogenous to a product of supersingular elliptic curves and is superspecial if it is isomorphic to a product of…
We construct a canonical compactification $SQ^{toric}_{g,K}$ of the moduli of abelian varieties over $Z[\zeta_N, 1/N]$ where $\zeta_N$ is a primitive $N$-th root of unity. This is very similar to, but slightly diferent from the…
We prove a $p$-adic analogue of the Andr\'{e}-Oort conjecture for subvarieties of the universal abelian varieties containing a dense set of special points. Let $g$ and $n$ be integers with $n \geq 3$ and $p$ a prime number not dividing $n$.…
We consider the moduli space $A_{pol}(n)$ of (non-principally) polarised abelian varieties of genus $g\geq3$ with coprime polarisation and full level-$n$ structure. Based upon the analysis of the Tits building in math/0405321, we give an…
We construct infinitely many abelian surfaces A defined over the rational numbers such that, for a prime ell <= 7, the ell-torsion subgroup of A is not isomorphic as a Galois module to the ell-torsion subgroup of its dual. We do this by…
