Given an imaginary quadratic extension $K$ of $\mathbb Q$, we classify the maximal nonelementary subgroups of the Picard modular group $\operatorname{PU}(1,2;\mathcal O_K)$ preserving a totally real totally geodesic plane in the complex…
In this short note we use the presentations found in \cite{MP} and \cite{Po} to show that the Picard modular groups ${\rm PU}(2,1,\mathcal{O}_d)$ with $d=1,3,7$ (respectively the quaternion hyperbolic lattice ${\rm PSp}(2,1,\mathcal{H})$…
We show that there are infinitely many commensurability classes of pseudomodular groups, thus answering a question raised by Long and Reid. These are Fuchsian groups whose cusp set is all of the rationals but which are not commensurable to…
We study geometric properties of the action of the Picard modular group $\Gamma=PU(2,1,\mathcal{O}_7)$ on the complex hyperbolic plane $H^2_\mathbb{C}$, where $\mathcal{O}_7$ denotes the ring of algebraic integers in…
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically integral curve defined over a perfect field $\mathbb{F}$. Let $k=\mathbb{F}(\mathcal{C})$ be the function field of $\mathcal{C}$. Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a split simply connected…
A pseudomodular group is a finite coarea nonarithmetic Fuchsian group whose cusp set is exactly $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{Q})$. Long and Reid constructed finitely many of these by considering Fricke groups, i.e., those that uniformize…
In this notes, we characterize discrete subgroups of PU(2,1), holomorphic isometric group of complex hyperbolic space, which have an invariant totally geodesic submanifold.
Classifying endotrivial kG-modules, i.e., elements of the Picard group of the stable module category for an arbitrary finite group G, has been a long-running quest. By deep work of Dade, Alperin, Carlson, Thevenaz, and others, it has been…
Building on the classification of modules for algebraic groups with finitely many orbits on subspaces, we determine all faithful irreducible modules for simple and maximal-semisimple connected algebraic groups that are orthogonal and have…
In this paper, we study lower bounds on the K-theory of the maximal $C^*$-algebra of a discrete group based on the amount of torsion it contains. We call this the finite part of the operator K-theory and give a lower bound that is valid for…
Let $S$ be a certain affine algebraic surface over $\mathbb{Q}$ such that it admits a regular map to $\mathbb{A}^2/\mathbb{Q}$. We show that any non-trivial torsion line bundle in the relative Picard group $Pic^0\left(S/\mathbb{A}^2\right)$…
It is proved that the commutator subgroup of the fundamental group of the complement of any plane affine irreducible Hurwitz curve (respectively, any plane affine irreducible pseudoholomorphic curve) is finitely presented. It is shown that…
We investigate modular embeddings for semi-arithmetic Fuchsian groups. First we prove some purely algebro-geometric or even topological criteria for a regular map from a smooth complex curve to a quaternionic Shimura variety to be covered…
Our main goal in this paper is to construct the first explicit fundamental domain of the Picard modular group acting on the complex hyperbolic space ${\bf CH}^{2}$. The complex hyperbolic space is a Hermitian symmetric space, its bounded…
Let $U$ be an algebraic subgroup of the group of $n\times n$ upper-triangular matrices with units on the diagonal over a finite field of large enough characteristic, and $\mathfrak{n}$ be the Lie algebra of $U$. The main tool in…
Let $F$ be either $\mathbb{R}$ or a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $G$ be a finite central extension of the group of $F$-points of a reductive group defined over $F$. Also let $\pi$ be a smooth representation of $G$ (Frechet of…
Semi-arithmetic Fuchsian groups is a wide class of discrete groups of isometries of the hyperbolic plane which includes arithmetic Fuchsian groups, hyperbolic triangle groups, groups admitting a modular embedding, and others. We introduce a…
In this article, for $n\geq 2$, we compute asymptotic, qualitative, and quantitative estimates of the Bergman kernel of Picard modular cusp forms associated to torsion-free, cocompact subgroups of $\mathrm{SU}\big((n,1),\mathbb{C}\big)$.…
We calculate the algebraic $K$-theory of the coordinate ring of a planar cuspidal curve over a regular $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra, thereby verifying a conjecture due to Hesselholt. In the course of the proof we compute the Picard group of the…
A Fuchsian group $\Gamma$ has a modular embedding if its adjoint trace field is a totally real number field and every unbounded Galois conjugate $\Gamma^\sigma$ comes equipped with a holomorphic (or conjugate holomorphic) map ${\phi^\sigma…
