Let \rho be a modulo p representation of the absolute Galois group of a totally real number field. Under the assumptions that \rho has large image and admits a low weight crystalline modular deformation we show that any low weight…
We consider mod $p$ Hilbert modular forms for a totally real field $F$, viewed as sections of automorphic line bundles on Hilbert modular varieties in prime characteristic $p$. For a Hecke eigenform of arbitrary weight, we prove the…
We compare the Iwasawa invariants of fine Selmer groups of $p$-adic Galois representations over admissible $p$-adic Lie extensions of a number field $K$ to the Iwasawa invariants of ideal class groups along these Lie extensions. More…
We study Shimura (special) subvarieties in the moduli space $A_{p,D}$ of complex abelian varieties of dimension $p$ and polarization type $D$. These subvarieties arise from families of covers compatible with a fixed group action on the base…
Motivated by the desire to understand the geometry of the basic loci in the reduction of Shimura varieties, we study their "group-theoretic models" -- generalized affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties -- in cases where they have a particularly…
Let $F$ be an archimedean local field and let $E$ be $F\times F$ (resp. a quadratic extension of $F$). We prove that an irreducible generic (resp. nearly tempered) representation of $\operatorname{GL}_n(E)$ is $\operatorname{GL}_n(F)$…
We show that the compactly supported cohomology of Shimura varieties of Hodge type of infinite $\Gamma_1(p^\infty)$-level (defined with respect to a Borel subgroup) vanishes above the middle degree, under the assumption that the group of…
We develop a theory of $p$-adic automorphic forms on unitary groups that allows $p$-adic interpolation in families and holds for all primes $p$ that do not ramify in the reflex field $E$ of the associated unitary Shimura variety. If the…
Let $X$ be a proper homogeneous space for a connected algebraic group $G$ over an algebraically closed field. For locally closed smooth affine subvarieties $W,Z\subset X$, we show that \[ (-1)^{\dim X-\dim W+\dim Z}\chi(gW\cap Z)\geq 0 \]…
We study the supersingular locus of a reduction at an inert prime of the Shimura variety attached to $\mathrm{GU}(2,n-2)$. More concretely, we realize irreducible components of the supersingular locus as closed subschemes of flag schemes…
We study the supersingular locus of a reduction at an inert prime of the Shimura variety attached to $\mathrm{GU}(2,n-2)$. More concretely, we decompose the supersingular locus into a disjoint union of iterated fibrations over (classical)…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective connected curve of genus $g\ge 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. Let $G$ be a finite group, $P$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $N_G(P)$ its normalizer in $G$. We show…
Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p > 2$, and let $K$ be a finite totally ramified extension of $W(k)[\frac{1}{p}]$. We prove that the locus of potentially semi-stable $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{K}/K)$-representations of a given…
In this paper we study the reduction of PEL-Shimura varieties associated to unitary groups of signature (n-1,1) in the inert and unramified case. We describe the Newton polygon and the Ekedahl-Oort stratification. We further study the…
We study a Shimura variety attached to a unitary similitude group of a skew-Hermitian form over a totally indefinite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of…
We define and study a collection of special cycles on certain non-PEL Shimura varieties for $U(2,1) \times U(1,1)$ that appear naturally in the context of the recent conjectures of Gan, Gross and Prasad on restrictions of automorphic forms…
We use the non-proper Morse theory of Palais-Smale to investigate the topology of smooth closed subvarieties of complex semi-abelian varieties, and that of their infinite cyclic covers. As main applications, we obtain the finite generation…
The supersingular locus in the fiber at p of a Shimura variety attached to a unitary similitude group GU(1,n-1) over Q is uniformized by a formal scheme \Cal N. In the case when p is inert, we define special cycles Z(x) in \Cal N,…
Throughout, let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. We provide a generic classification of locally free representations of Geiss-Leclerc-Schr\"oer's algebras $H_K(C,D,\Omega)$ associated to affine Cartan matrices $C$…
Let $R$ be a Henselian DVR with finite residue field. Let $G$ be a finite type, flat $R$-group scheme (not necessarily commutative) with smooth generic fiber. We show that $H^1_{\mathrm{fppf}}(\mathrm{Spec} R,G)$ is finite. We then give an…
