We give examples of infinite order rational transformations that leave linear differential equations covariant. These examples are non-trivial yet simple enough illustrations of exact representations of the renormalization group. We first…

Let $C$ be a genus 2 curve and $\su$ the moduli space of semi-stable rank 2 vector bundles on $C$ with trivial determinant. In \cite{bol:wed} we described the parameter space of non stable extension classes (invariant with respect to the…

Let $X=G/H$ be a homogeneous space, where $G \supset H$ are reductive Lie groups. We ask: in the setting where $\Gamma \backslash G/H$ is a standard quotient, to what extent can the discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ be deformed while preserving…

We study canonical bases for spaces of weakly holomorphic modular forms of level 4 and weights in $\mathbb{Z}+\frac{1}{2}$ and show that almost all modular forms in these bases have the property that many of their zeros in a fundamental…

We develop the basic properties of the higher commutator for congruence modular varieties.

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic 0. Fix integers $r,d$ coprime with $r \geq 2$. Let $X_K$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically connected curve of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over K. Assume there exists a line bundle $L_K$ on $X_K$ of…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Let X(p^e;N) be the curve parameterizing elliptic curves with full level N structure (where p does not divide N) and full level p^e Igusa structure. By modular curve, we mean a…

We investigate the Mott transitions in two-band Hubbard models with different bandwidths. Applying dynamical mean field theory, we discuss the stability of itinerant quasi-particle states in each band. We demonstrate that separate Mott…

Hassett and Keel predicted that there is a descending sequence of critical $\alpha$ values where the log canonical model for the moduli space of stable curves with respect to $\alpha \delta$ changes. We derive a conjectural formula for the…

We study the curvature of the moduli space M_g of curves of genus g with the Siegel metric induced by the period map. We give an explicit formula for the holomorphic sectional curvature of M_g along a Schiffer variation at a point P on the…

Let $F$ be a totally real number field. We prove that a character of the spherical Hecke algebra appearing in the completed cohomology of Hilbert modular varieties is modular if the associated Galois representation is absolutely…

Algebras defined over fields of characteristic zero and positive characteristic usually do not behave the same way. However, for certain algebras, for example the group algebras, they behave the same way as the characteristic zero case at…

Inspired by group cohomology, we define several coarse topological invariants of metric spaces. We define the coarse cohomological dimension of a metric space, and demonstrate that if G is a countable group, then the coarse cohomological…

By a recent result of Viehweg, projective manifolds with ample canonical class have a coarse moduli space, which is a union of quasiprojective varieties. In this paper, we prove that there are manifolds with ample canonical class that lie…

We study a closed differential form on the symmetric space of positive definite matrices, which is defined using the Pfaffian and is $\mathsf{GL}_{2n}(\mathbb{Z})$ invariant up to a sign. It gives rise to an infinite family of unstable…

A concrete lower-bound for the Hochschild cohomological dimension of a commutative $k$-algebra, in terms of three other homological invariants is obtained. This result is then used to show that most $k$-algebras fail to be quasi-free, even…

The Mazur principle give simple conditions for an irreducible unramified $\overline{\mathbb{F}_l}$-representation coming from a modular form of level $\Gamma_0(Np)$ to come for some modular form of level $\Gamma_0(N)$. The aim of this work…

We consider the action of a semisimple subgroup $\hat G$ of a semisimple complex group $G$ on the flag variety $X=G/B$, and the linearizations of this action by line bundles $\mathcal L$ on $X$. The main result is an explicit description of…

Let $\mathbb{X}$ be a weighted projective line of tubular type and $\operatorname{coh}\mathbb{X}$ the category of coherent sheaves on $\mathbb{X}$. The main purpose of this note is to show that the subgraph of the tilting graph consisting…
