Let $ \mathfrak{C}^+_{ns}(p) $ be the Cuspidal Divisor Class Group of the modular curves $X^+_{ns}(p) $ associated to the normalizer of a non-split Cartan subgroup of level $ p$. I study the $ p-$primary part of $ \mathfrak{C}^+_{ns}(p) $…

Modular units are functions on modular curves whose divisors are supported on the cusps. They form a free abelian group of rank at most one less than the number of cusps. In this paper we study the group of modular units on $X_{1}( p )$,…

Let $\mathcal{C}(\mathfrak{p}^r)$ be the rational cuspidal divisor class group of the Drinfeld modular curve $X_0(\mathfrak{p}^r)$ for a prime power level $\mathfrak{p}^r\in \mathbb{F}_q[T]$. We relate the rational cuspidal divisors of…

In this paper we describe a method for computing a basis for the space of weight $2$ cusp forms invariant under a non-split Cartan subgroup of prime level $p$. As an application we compute, for certain small values of $p$, explicit…

We give regular models for modular curves associated with (normalizer of) split and non-split Cartan subgroups of ${\mathrm{GL}}_2 ({\mathbb F}_p )$ (for $p$ any prime, $p\ge 5$). We then compute the group of connected components of the…

In this article, we consider the group $F_1^\infty(N)$ of modular units on $X_1(N)$ that have divisors supported on the cusps lying over $\infty$ of $X_0(N)$, called the $\infty$-cusps. For each positive integer $N$, we will give an…

In this paper we study the moduli stack ${\mathcal U}_{1,n}^{ns}$ of curves of arithmetic genus 1 with n marked points, forming a nonspecial divisor. In arXiv:1511.03797 this stack was realized as the quotient of an explicit scheme…

Modular curves like X_0(N) and X_1(N) appear very frequently in arithmetic geometry. While their complex points are obtained as a quotient of the upper half plane by some subgroups of SL_2(Z), they allow for a more arithmetic description as…

In this paper for each $n\ge g\ge 0$ we consider the moduli stack $\widetilde{\mathcal U}^{ns}_{g,n}$ of curves $(C,p_1,\ldots,p_n,v_1,\ldots,v_n)$ of arithmetic genus $g$ with $n$ smooth marked points $p_i$ and nonzero tangent vectors…

In this note we give an explicit parametrization of the modular curve associated to the normalizer of a non-split Cartan subgroup of level 9. We determine all integral points of this modular curve. As an application, we give an alternative…

After a general discussion of group actions, orbifolds, and "weak orbifolds" this note will provide elementary introductions to two basic moduli spaces over the real or complex numbers: First the moduli space of effective divisors with…

For a fixed prime $p$ congruent to $1$ modulo $4$ we may define the modular curve $X_{H}\left( p \right)$ associated to the subgroup of non-zero squares modulo $p$. This curve has four cusps and we consider the subgroup of the Jacobian…

The genus $4$ modular curve $X_{ns}(11)$ attached to a non-split Cartan group of level $11$ admits a model defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. We compute generators for its function field in terms of Siegel modular functions. We also show that its…

We shall describe the divisor class group and the graded canonical module of the multi-section ring for a normal projective variety X and Weil divisors D_1,..., D_s on X under a mild condition. In the proof, we use the theory of Krull…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be the moduli space of smooth complex cubic surfaces and let $\pi_1(\mathcal{C})$ be its (orbifold) fundamental group. We prove that the ``divisor subgroup'' of $\pi_1(\mathcal{C})$ is characteristic. This can be…

Fix a nonzero level $\mathfrak{n} \in \mathbb{F}_q[T]$. In this paper, we first establish a function field analogue of Ligozat's theorem, which serves as our main result and provides a criterion for Drinfeld modular units on the Drinfeld…
