If M is a Drinfeld module over a local function field L, we may view M as a dynamical system, and consider its filled Julia set J. If J^0 is the connected component of the identity, relative to the Berkovich topology, we give a…

In [14] Hemmer conjectures that the module of fixed points for the symmetric group $\Sigma_m$ of a Specht module for $\Sigma_n$ (with $n>m$), over a field of positive characteristic $p$, has a Specht series, when viewed as a…

Let p be an odd prime. Suppose that E is a modular elliptic curve/Q with good ordinary reduction at p. Let Q_{oo} denote the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of Q. It is conjectured that Sel_E(Q_{oo}) is a cotorsion Lambda-module and that its…

A subspace of an algebra with involution is called a Lie skew-ideal if it is closed under Lie products with skew-symmetric elements. Lie skew-ideals are classified in central simple algebras with involution (there are eight of them for…

Let $N>1$ and let $\Phi_N(X,Y)\in\mathbb{Z}[X,Y]$ be the modular polynomial which vanishes precisely at pairs of $j$-invariants of elliptic curves linked by a cyclic isogeny of degree $N$. In this note we study the divisibility of the…

In this paper, we give an explicit bound on the irreducibility of mod-$\mathfrak{l}$ Galois representation for Drinfeld modules of arbitrary rank without complex multiplication. This is a function field analogue of Masser-W\"ustholz bound…

We study the codimension n locus of curves of genus 2 with n distinct marked Weierstrass points inside the moduli space of genus 2, n-pointed curves, for n <= 6. We give a recursive description of the classes of the closure of these loci…

A polynomial map $F=(P,Q)\in \Z [x,y]^2$ with Jacobian $JF:=P_xQ_y-P_yQ_x\equiv 1$ has a polynomial inverse of integer coefficients if the complex plane curve P=0 has infinitely many integer points.

We study relative Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces and define relative invariants for a pair $(X,\Sigma)$ consisting of a smooth, closed, oriented 4-manifold $X$ and a smooth, closed, oriented 2-dimensional submanifold $\Sigma\!\subset\!X$ with…

We study the minimal Weierstrass equations for genus 2 curves defined over a ring of integers $\mathcal O_{\mathbb F}$. This is done via reduction theory and Julia invariant of binary sextics. We show that when the binary sextics has extra…

Let X be a product of Drinfeld modular curves over a general base ring A of odd characteristic. We classify those subvarieties of X which contain a Zariski-dense set of CM points. This is an analogue of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture. As an…

We describe an algorithm for determining a minimal Weierstrass equation for hyperelliptic curves over principal ideal domains. When the curve has a rational Weierstrass point $w_0$, we also give a similar algorithm for determining the…

We prove a form of the Weierstrass Preparation Theorem for normal algebraic curves over complete discrete valuation rings. While the more traditional algebraic form of Weierstrass Preparation applies just to the projective line over a base,…

We present an explicit method to produce upper bounds for the dimension of the moduli spaces of complete integral Gorenstein curves with prescribed symmetric Weierstrass semigroups.

We prove that all points of a toroidal compactification lying over 0-dimensional cusps are rationally equivalent in the integral Chow group for most classical modular varieties (Siegel, Hilbert, orthogonal, Hermitian, quaternionic). This…

Let $S$ be a $p$-group for an odd prime $p$, Oliver proposed the conjecture that the Thompson subgroup $J(S)$ is always contained in the Oliver subgroup $\mathfrak{X}(S)$. That means he conjectured that…
