We prove that Shimura varieties of abelian type satisfy a $p$-adic Borel-extension property over discretely valued fields. More precisely, let $\mathsf{D}$ denote the rigid-analytic closed unit disc and $\mathsf{D}^{\times} = \mathsf{D}…

We prove an analogue for Hodge modules of Pink's theorem on the degeneration of l-adic sheaves (Math. Ann. 292). Let j be the open immersion of a Shimura variety M into its Baily-Borel compactification. Its boundary has a natural…

We find a natural $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$-axiomatisation $\Sigma$ of a structure on the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$ as the covering space of modular curves. The main theorem states that $\Sigma$ has a unique model in every uncountable…

The paper is a continuation of the paper of Kudla-Rapoport-Zink on $p$-adic uniformization of Shimura curves associated to a group of binary unitary similitudes. Here we consider two variants: first, the RSZ variant, for which we can allow…

This is a survey of some recent developments concerning the p-adic cohomology of algebraic varieties over fields of positive characteristic and local fields of mixed characteristic, plus some related areas like p-adic Hodge theory.

We classify all possible automorphism groups of smooth cubic surfaces over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. As an intermediate step we also classify automorphism groups of quartic del Pezzo surfaces. We show that…

Let $(\mathsf{G},\mathsf{X})$ be a Shimura datum of Hodge type. Let $p$ be an odd prime such that $\mathsf{G}_{\mathbb{Q}_p}$ splits after a tamely ramified extension and $p\nmid |\pi_1(\mathsf{G}^{\rm der})|$. Under some mild additional…

We start with a curve over an algebraically closed ground field of positive characteristic $p>0$. By using specialization techniques, under suitable natural coprimality conditions, we prove a cohomological Simpson Correspondence between the…

We prove that Shimura varieties and geometric period images satisfy a $p$-adic extension property for large enough primes $p$. More precisely, let $\mathsf{D}^{\times}\subset \mathsf{D}$ denote the inclusion of the closed punctured unit…

Laudal's Lemma states that if $C$ is a curve of degree $d > s^2 + 1$ in $\mathbb P^3$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 such that its plane section is contained in an irreducible curve of degree s, then $C$ lies on a…

We study hyperbolicity properties of the moduli space of polarized abelian varieties (also known as the Siegel modular variety) in characteristic $p$. Our method uses the plethysm operation for Schur functors as a key ingredient and…

In this article, we classify the characters associated to algebraic points on Shimura curves of $\Gamma_0(p)$-type, and over a quadratic field we show that there are at most elliptic points on such a Shimura curve for every sufficiently…

Here we investigate some birational properties of two collections of moduli spaces, namely moduli spaces of (pointed) stable curves and of (pointed) spin curves. In particular, we focus on vanishings of Hodge numbers of type (p,0) and on…

Consider a Shimura curve $X^D_0(N)$ over the rational numbers. We determine criteria for the twist by an Atkin-Lehner involution to have points over a local field. As a corollary we give a new proof of the theorem of Jordan-Livn\'e on…

We prove a conjecture of Milne pertaining to the existence of integral canonical models of Shimura varieties of abelian type in arbitrary unramified mixed characteristic $(0,p)$. As an application we prove for $p=2$ a motivic conjecture of…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given (in terms of monodromy) for extending a family of smooth curves over an open subset U of S to a family of stable curves over S. More precisely, we introduce the abelian monodromy extension (AME)…

Shimura curves are moduli spaces of abelian surfaces with quaternion multiplication. Models of Shimura curves are very important in number theory. Klein's icosahedral invariants $\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{B}$ and $\mathfrak{C}$ give the…

We prove some semipositivity theorems for singular varieties coming from graded polarizable admissible variations of mixed Hodge structure. As an application, we obtain that the moduli functor of stable varieties is semipositive in the…

We prove that under some conditions on the monodromy, families of abelian covers of the projective line do not give rise to (higher dimensional) Shimura subvarieties in $A_g$. This is achieved by a reduction to $p$ argument. We also use…

It is well known that positivity properties of the curvature of a vector bundle have implications on the algebro-geometric properties of the bundle, such as numerical positivity, vanishing of higher cohomology leading to existence of global…
