We continue the examination of the stable reduction and fields of moduli of G-Galois covers of the projective line over a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic (0, p), where G has a cyclic p-Sylow subgroup P of order…

The absolute sets of local systems on a smooth complex algebraic variety are the subject of a conjecture of N. Budur and B. Wang based on an analogy with special subvarieties of Shimura varieties. An absolute set should be the…

We prove a theorem of Tits type for automorphism groups of projective varieties over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, which was first conjectured by Keum, Oguiso and Zhang for complex projective varieties.

For a smooth projective variety $X$ defined over a global field $K$, one can form a notion of Weak Approximation for the Chow group of zero-cycles of $X$. There exists a Brauer-Manin obstruction to Weak Approximation here akin to that for…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We exhibit a counterexample against a theorem asserted in one of our earlier papers, which claims to characterize the integral closure of K((t)) within the field of…

We examine in detail the stable reduction of Galois covers of the projective line over a complete discrete valuation field of mixed characteristic (0, p), where G has a cyclic p-Sylow subgroup of order p^n. If G is further assumed to be…

We prove that a smooth proper universally CH_0-trivial variety X over a field k has universally trivial Brauer group. This fills a gap in the literature concerning the p-torsion of the Brauer group when k has characteristic p.

The Grothendieck-Katz $p$-curvature conjecture is an analogue of the Hasse Principle for differential equations. It states that a set of arithmetic differential equations on a variety has finite monodromy if its $p$-curvature vanishes…

Suppose given a Galois etale cover Y -> X of proper non-singular curves over an algebraically closed field k of prime characteristic p. Let H be its Galois group, and G any finite extension of H by a p-group P. We give necessary and…

A field $K$ is quasi-classical $d$-local if there exist fields $K=k_d,\dots,k_0$ with $k_{i+1}$ Henselian admissible discretely valued with residue field $k_i$, and $k_0$ quasi-finite. We prove a duality theorem for the Galois cohomology of…

The deformation theory of ordinary representations of the absolute Galois groups of totally real number fields (over a finite field $k$) has been studied for a long time, starting with the work of Hida, Mazur and Tilouine, and continued by…

In this article, we prove a generalization of a theorem (Ogg's conjecture) due to Bary Mazur for arbitrary $N\in \N$ and for {\it number fields}. The main new observation is a modification of a theorem due to Glenn Stevens for the…

In this paper, we focus on Oliver's $p$-group conjecture. We use elementary method to prove that Oliver's $p$-group conjecture holds for Sylow $p$-subgroups of unitary groups.

We give a new local proof of the Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture in the case of a reducible representation of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, $p>2$, that has scalar semi-simplification, via a formalism of Pa\v{s}k\=unas.

A new family of local-global conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups has recently been proposed by Moret\'o. We show that one of the strongest of these conjectures, the strong subnormalizer conjecture, holds for…

The purpose of this paper is to prove the following theorem. Let $X$ be a projective normal variety defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $\Omega_{X}^{1}\to L$ be a one-dimensional foliation on $X$. If…

This paper contains a method to prove the existence of smooth curves in positive characteristic whose Jacobians have unusual Newton polygon. Using this method, I give a new proof that there exist supersingular curves of genus $4$ for every…

We prove a version of the weight part of Serre's conjecture for mod $p$ Galois representations attached to automorphic forms on rank 2 unitary groups which are non-split at $p$. More precisely, let $F/F^+$ denote a CM extension of a totally…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a strictly convex domain with smooth boundary and diameter $D$. The fundamental gap conjecture claims that if $V:\bar\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ is convex, then the spectral gap of the Schr\"odinger operator…

We prove automorphy lifting results for certain essentially conjugate self-dual $p$-adic Galois representations $\rho$ over CM imaginary fields $F$, which satisfy in particular that $p$ splits in $F$, and that the restriction of $\rho$ on…
