We describe an algorithm for determining the algebraic subgroup of GL(n,C) that is defined as the closure of the group generated by a finite number of elements of GL(n,C). The algorithm avoids the use of Groebner bases and can be used on…

The aim of this article is to prove Zariski density of crystalline representations in the rigid analytic space associated to the universal deformation ring of a d-dimensional mod p representation of Gal(\bar{K}/K) for any d and for any…

We prove a well known conjecture of Nikolai Ivanov which states that if $X$ is a surface of genus $\geq 3$ (with any number of punctures and boundary components), $\rm{Mod}(X)$ is the mapping class group of $X$, and $K < \rm{Mod}(X)$ is a…

We characterize all finite p-groups G of order p^n(n\leq 6), where p is a prime for n\leq 5 and an odd prime for n = 6, such that the center of the inner automorphism group of G is equal to the group of central automorphisms of G.

We study $p$-adic families of cohomological automorphic forms for ${\mathrm{GL}}(2)$ over imaginary quadratic fields and prove that families interpolating a Zariski-dense set of classical cuspidal automorphic forms only occur under very…

We classify finite groups in which the centralisers of certain non-central elements are soluble. This includes a full structural description of groups whose non-central element centralisers are all soluble, and a reduction theorem for the…

For each finite subgroup $G$ of $PGL_2(\mathbb{Q})$, and for each integer $n$ coprime to $6$, we construct explicitly infinitely many Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with group $G$ and whose ideal class group has $n$-rank at least…

We classify compact complex surfaces which contain a Zariski open subset whose universal covering is the cylinder DxC.

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of residue characteristic $p$, and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be its residue field. Let $\mathcal{H}^{(1)}_{\mathbb{F}_q}$ be the pro-$p$-Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the $p$-adic group…

The main result asserts: Let $G$ be a reductive, affine algebraic group and let $(\rho ,V)$ be a regular representation of $G$. Let $X$ be an irreducible $\mathbb{C}^{ \times } G$ invariant Zariski closed subset such that $G$ has a closed…

Hyperelliptic mapping class groups are defined either as the centralizers of hyperelliptic involutions inside mapping class groups of oriented surfaces of finite type or as the inverse images of these centralizers by the natural…

We study the S-integral points on the complement of a union of hyperplanes in projective space, where S is a finite set of places of a number field k. In the classical case where S consists of the set of archimedean places of k, we…

In this paper we give an asymptotic bound of the cardinality of Zariski multiples of particular plane singular curves. These curves have only nodes and cusps as singularities and are obtained as branched curves of ramified covering of the…

By recognizing them as fundamental groups of developable complexes of groups we prove that mapping class groups of compact orientable surfaces have finite asymptotic dimension.

Suppose $X$ is a smooth quasiprojective variety over $\cc$ and $\rho : \pi _1(X,x) \to SL(2,\cc)$ is a Zariski-dense representation with quasiunipotent monodromy at infinity. Then $\rho$ factors through a map $X\to Y$ with $Y$ either a…

In this paper, we compute the essential $p$-dimension of the split finite quasi-simple groups of classical Lie type at the defining prime, specifically the quasi-simple groups arising from the general linear and special linear groups, the…

We show that every Dedekind domain $R$ lying between the polynomial rings $\mathbb Z[X]$ and $\mathbb Q[X]$ with the property that its residue fields of prime characteristic are finite fields is equal to a generalized ring of integer-valued…

In this paper we describe and characterize the fundamental group of the complement to generic fiber-type curves, i.e. unions of (the closure of) finitely many generic fibers of a component-free pencil $F=[f:g]:\mathbb C\mathbb…

Let p>2 be a prime, K a finite extension over Q_p and G :=Gal(\bar K/K). We extend Kisin's theory on \phi-modules of finite E(u)-height to give a new classification of G-stable Z_p-lattices in semi-stable representations

Let $p:S\to S_g$ be a finite $G$-covering of a closed surface of genus $g\geq 1$ and let $B$ its branch locus. To this data, it is associated a representation of a finite index subgroup of the mapping class group…
