We show how to construct tilting bundles for a class of smooth projective varieties using characteristic $p$ methods. Given such a variety $X$, reduce it modulo a prime number and consider the direct image of the structure sheaf under the…

We present a new proof of Witten's conjecture. The proof is based on the analysis of the relationship between intersection indices on moduli spaces of complex curves and Hurwitz numbers enumerating ramified coverings of the 2-sphere.

We study spherical Schubert varieties in the affine Grassmannian. These Schubert varieties have a natural conjectural modular description due to Finkelberg-Mirkovi\'c. This modular description is easily seen to be set-theoretically correct,…

Let F and G be homogeneous polynomials in disjoint sets of variables. We prove that the Waring rank is additive, thus proving the symmetric Strassen conjecture, when either F or G is a power, or F and G have two variables, or either F or G…

In this paper we give a new proof of the Quantum Unique Ergodicity conjecture for holomorphic integral weight modular forms on the upper half plane. The proof requires only partial results towards the Ramanujan conjecture and the shifted…

Using a mixed-characteristic incarnation of fusion, we prove an analog of Nekov\'a\v{r}-Scholl's plectic conjecture for local Shimura varieties. We apply this to obtain results on the plectic conjecture for (global) Shimura varieties after…

The "Modularity Conjecture" is the assertion that the join of two nonmodular varieties is nonmodular. We establish the veracity of this conjecture for the case of linear idempotent varieties. We also establish analogous results concerning…

J. Wahl conjectured that every quasihomogeneous isolated normal singularity admits a positive grading for which there are no derivations of negative weighted degree. We confirm his conjecture for quasihomogeneous isolated complete…

The moduli space of Frobenius manifolds carries a natural involutive symmetry, and a distinguished class - so-called modular Frobenius manifolds - lie at the fixed points of this symmetry. In this paper a classification of semi-simple…

We prove a general inequality for estimating the number of points of arbitrary complete intersections over a finite field. This extends a result of Deligne for nonsingular complete intersections. For normal complete intersections, this…

We prove a uniform estimate of the number of points for difference algebraic varieties in finite difference fields in the spirit of Lang-Weil. More precisely, we give uniform lower and upper bounds for the number of rational points of a…

We are interested in the intersection cohomology of the minimal compactification of Siegel modular varieties at some places of bad reduction. We compute the semi-simple trace of the Frobenius morphism on the fibers of the nearby cycles of…

We prove the generalised Mukai conjecture for $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial spherical Fano varieties. In this case, a stronger inequality holds featuring an extra term - the minimum absolute complexity of a log Calabi-Yau pair - which measures how…

We study the cohomology of parabolic Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to unipotent blocks of GLn(q). We show that the geometric version of Brou\'e's conjecture over Q_\ell, together with Craven's formula, holds for any unipotent block…

In the search of a projective analog of Kunz's theorem and a Frobenius-theoretic analog of Mori--Hartshorne's theorem, we investigate the positivity of the kernel of the Frobenius trace (equivalently, the negativity of the cokernel of the…

We construct a new autoequivalence of the derived category of the Hilbert scheme of n points on a K3 surface, and of the variety of lines on a smooth cubic 4-fold. For Hilb^2 and the variety of lines, we use the theory of spherical…

Regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties are a family of subvarieties of the flag variety that arise in number theory, numerical analysis, representation theory, algebraic geometry, and combinatorics. We give a "Giambelli formula" expressing…

We prove that Ramanujan-type congruences for integral weight modular forms away from the level and the congruence prime are equivalent to specific congruences for Hecke eigenvalues. In particular, we show that Ramanujan-type congruences are…

A previous result of the authors with Chaput and Perrin states that the union of all rational curves of fixed degree passing through a Schubert variety in a homogeneous space G/P is again a Schubert variety. In this paper we identify this…

When the quantum parameter $q^{\frac{1}{2}}$ is a root of unity of odd order and the punctured bordered surface has nonempty boundary, we prove the fraction ring of the stated skein algebra (that is the localization over all nonzero…
