We prove the arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture over a general $p$-adic field with odd residue cardinality $q\geq \dim V$. Our strategy is similar to the one used by the second author during his proof of the AFL over $\mathbb{Q}_p$…

In this paper we give an elementary proof of the local sum conjecture in two dimensions. In a remarkable paper [CMN, arXiv:1810.11340], this conjecture has been established in all dimensions using sophisticated, powerful techniques from a…

Functional determinants for a scalar field with negative mass squared are numerically evaluated on an orbifolded three-sphere, in particular on a lune and on a regular 4--polytope fundamental domain. Graphs are provided of the logdets and…

We formulate the "real integral Hodge conjecture", a version of the integral Hodge conjecture for real varieties, and raise the question of its validity for cycles of dimension 1 on uniruled and Calabi-Yau threefolds and on rationally…

Many well-known theorems establish sufficient criteria for linearizability of a vector field in terms of the eigenvalues of its linear approximation. By attaching weights to coordinates so that some directions are considered "linear",…

We prove two results on the algebraic dynamics of billiards in generic algebraic curves of degree $d \geq 2$. First, the dynamical degree grows quadratically in $d$; second, the set of complex periodic points has measure 0, implying the…

We describe an algorithm which verifies whether linear algebraic cycles of the Fermat variety generate the lattice of Hodge cycles. A computer implementation of this confirms the integral Hodge conjecture for quartic and quintic Fermat…

We discuss a numerical scheme to solve the continuum Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in generic spatial dimensions. It is based on a momentum-space discretization of the continuum equation and on a pseudo-spectral approximation of the…

Fuglede's conjecture in $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{d}$, $p$ a prime, says that a subset $E$ tiles $\mathbb{Z}_{p}^{d}$ by translation if and only if $E$ is spectral, meaning any complex-valued function $f$ on $E$ can be written as a linear…

We study a modular function $\Lambda_{k,\ell}$ which is one of generalized $\lambda$ functions. We show $\Lambda_{k,\ell}$ and the modular invariant function $j$ generate the modular function field with respect to the modular subgroup…

Serre and Stark found a basis for the space of modular forms of weight 1/2 in terms of theta series. In this paper, we generalize their result - under certain mild restrictions on the level and character - to the case of weight 1/2 Hilbert…

Motivated by super-Yang-Mills theory on a Calabi-Yau 4-fold, Nekrasov and Piazzalunga have assigned weights to $r$-tuples of solid partitions and conjectured a formula for their weighted generating function. We define $K$-theoretic virtual…
