Consider probabilistic distributions on the space of infinite Hermitian matrices $Herm(\infty)$ invariant with respect to the unitary group $U(\infty)$. We describe the closure of $U(\infty)$ in the space of spreading maps (polymorphisms)…
For a finite group $\Gamma$, we study the distribution of the Galois group $G_{\emptyset}^{\#}(K)$ of the maximal unramified extension of $K$ that is split completely at $\infty$ and has degree prime to $|\Gamma|$ and $\textit{Char}(K)$, as…
Let k=F_q be a finite field of even characteristic. We obtain in this paper a complete classification, up to k-isomorphism, of non singular quartic plane curves defined over k. We find explicit rational normal models and we give closed…
For a prime number $p$, we study the asymptotic distribution of CM points on the moduli space of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{C}_p$. In stark contrast to the complex case, in the $p$-adic setting there are infinitely many different…
We generalize the notion of quasielliptic curves, which have infinitesimal symmetries and exist only in characteristic two and three, to a remarkable hierarchy of regular curves having infinitesimal symmetries, defined in all…
Heavenly abelian varieties are abelian varieties defined over number fields that exhibit constrained $\ell$-adic Galois representations for some rational prime $\ell$. At the ICMS Workshop held in November 2024, we presented evidence for…
Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime and for $a, b \in \mathbb{F}_{p}$, let $E_{a,b}$ denote the elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ with equation $y^2=x^3+a\,x + b$. As usual define the trace of Frobenius $a_{p,\,a,\,b}$ by \begin{equation*}…
In 2000, Galbraith and McKee heuristically derived a formula that estimates the probability that a randomly chosen elliptic curve over a fixed finite prime field has a prime number of rational points. We show how their heuristics can be…
We introduce a geometrically natural probability measure on the group of all M\"obius transformations of the circle. Our aim is to study "random" groups of M\"obius transformations, and in particular random two-generator groups. By this we…
Word maps provide a wealth of information about finite groups. We examine the connection between the probability distribution induced by a word map and the underlying structure of a finite group. We show that a finite group is nilpotent if…
In this paper we propose conjectures that assert that, the sequence of Frobenius angles of a given elliptic curve over $\mathbf{Q}$ without complex multiplication is pseudorandom, in other words that the Frobenius angles are statistically…
We define the notion of a parahoric group scheme $\mathcal G$ over a smooth projective curve, and formulate four conjectures on the structure of the stack of $\mathcal G$-bundles, which generalize to this case well-known results on…
Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible projective curve of genus $g \geq 2$ over a finite field $\F_{q}$ of characteristic $p$ with $q$ elements such that the function field $\F_{q}(X)$ is a geometric Galois extension of the rational function…
Let $p$ be an odd prime. For a number field $K$, we let $K_\infty$ be the maximal unramified pro-$p$ extension of $K$; we call the group $\mathrm{Gal}(K_\infty/K)$ the $p$-class tower group of $K$. In a previous work, as a non-abelian…
In this paper we exhibit the notion of (uniformly) good sections of arithmetic fundamental groups. We introduce and investigate the problem of cuspidalisation of sections of arithmetic fundamental groups, its ultimate aim is to reduce the…
Kolo\u{g}lu, Kopp and Miller compute the limiting spectral distribution of a certain class of real random matrix ensembles, known as $k$-block circulant ensembles, and discover that it is exactly equal to the eigenvalue distribution of an…
A distribution whose normalization constant is an A-hypergeometric polynomial is called an A-hypergeometric distribution. Such a distribution is in turn a generalization of the generalized hypergeometric distribution on the contingency…
In this paper, we study the curvature properties of random complex plane curves. We bound from below the probability that a uniform proportion of the area of a random complex degree $d$ plane curve has a curvature smaller than $-d/8$. Our…
We generalize Quillen's $F$-isomorphism theorem, Quillen's stratification theorem, the stable transfer, and the finite generation of cohomology rings from finite groups to homotopical groups. As a consequence, we show that the category of…
New Vapnik and Chervonenkis type concentration inequalities are derived for the empirical distribution of an independent random sample. Focus is on the maximal deviation over classes of Borel sets within a low probability region. The…
