Let L be a Galois extension of a countable Hilbertian field K. Although L need not be Hilbertian, we prove that an abundance of large Galois subextensions of L/K are.

An approximation result for the bilinear Hilbert transform is proved and used for the inversion of the bilinear Hilbert transform. Also, p-Lebesgue points $(p\geq 1)$ are analyzed.

In this note we produce examples of converging sequences of Galois representations, and study some of their properties. Some of the results here are used in the preprint math.NT/0210296.

We prove a generalization of van der Corput's difference theorem for sequences of vectors in a Hilbert space. This generalization is obtained by establishing a connection between sequences of vectors in the first Hilbert space with a vector…

We prove a criterion for the irreducibility of an integral group representation \rho over the fraction field of a noetherian domain R in terms of suitably defined reductions of \rho at prime ideals of R. As applications, we give…

We prove a realisation theorem for irreducible hypergeometric local systems defined over the rational numbers in terms of families of affine varieties in algebraic tori. The families we consider have been studied extensively in the…

Irreducible representations are the building blocks of general, semisimple Galois representations \rho, and cuspidal representations are the building blocks of automorphic forms \pi of the general linear group. It is expected that when an…

We present an application of Hodge theory towards the study of irreducible unitary representations of reductive Lie groups. We describe a conjecture about such representations and discuss some progress towards its proof.

We revisit Haagerup's enigmatic reduction theorem \cite[Theorems 2.1 \& 3.1]{HJX} showing how that theorem may be extended to general von Neumann algebras $\M$ equipped with an arbitrary faithful normal semifinite weight in a manner which…

We construct a new family of infinite-dimensional quasi-graded Lie algebras on hyperelliptic curves. We show that constructed algebras possess infinite number of invariant functions and admit a decomposition into the direct sum of two…

We study irreducible odd mod $p$ Galois representations $\bar{\rho} \colon \mathrm{Gal}(\overline{F}/F) \to G(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$, for $F$ a totally real number field and $G$ a general reductive group. For $p \gg_{G, F} 0$, we show…

We generalize the logarithmic decomposition theorem of Deligne-Illusie to a filtered version. There are two applications. The easier one provides a mod $p$ proof for a vanishing theorem in characteristic zero. The deeper one gives rise to a…

We prove that over totally real fields, the $p$-adic Galois representations attached to non-self-dual regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}(4)$ are irreducible. We then develop the theory of extra-twists in…

We relate Fubini's theorem for Euler characteristics to Riemann-Hurwtiz formulae, and reprove a classical result of Iversen. The techniques used include algebraic geometry, complex geometry, and model theory. Possible applications to the…

A classical example of Mumford gives a generically non-reduced component of the Hilbert scheme of smooth curves in the projective 3-space such that a general element of the component is contained in a smooth cubic hypersurface in the…

We continue our study of Hilbert space representations of the Reflection Equation Algebra, again focusing on the algebra constructed from the $R$-matrix associated to the $q$-deformation of $GL(N,\mathbb{C})$ for $0<q<1$. We develop a form…

In this paper we investigate how a typical, large-dimensional representation looks for a complex Lie algebra. In particular, we study the family $\mathfrak{sl}_{r+1}(\mathbb{C})$ of Lie algebras for $r \geq 2$ and derive asymptotic…

This paper presents a connection between Galois points and rational functions over a finite field with small value sets. This paper proves that the defining polynomial of any plane curve admitting two Galois points is an irreducible…

Let $\mathbf K$ be a finite field, $X$ and $Y$ two curves over $\mathbf K$, and $Y\rightarrow X$ an unramified abelian cover with Galois group $G$. Let $D$ be a divisor on $X$ and $E$ its pullback on $Y$. Under mild conditions the linear…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over the rationals which does not have complex multiplication. Serre showed that the adelic representation attached to $E/\mathbb{Q}$ has open image, and in particular there is a minimal natural number $C_E$…
