We study the moduli of G-local systems on smooth but not necessarily proper complex algebraic varieties. We show that, when suitably considered as derived algebraic stacks, they carry natural Poisson structures, generalizing the well known…
It is shown how to model any automorphism of a totally disconnected, locally compact group by a symbolic dynamical system. The model is an inverse limit of a product of a full-shift, on a finite number of symbols, with one of two types of…
Let $G$ be a connected split reductive group over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$ and $X$ a smooth projective geometrically connected curve over ${\mathbb F}_q$. The $\ell$-adic cohomology of stacks of $G$-shtukas is a generalization of the…
We establish a strong form of local rigidity for hyperbolic automorphisms of the 3-torus with real spectrum. Namely, let $L\colon\mathbb T^3\to\mathbb T^3$ be a hyperbolic automorphism of the 3-torus with real spectrum and let $f$ be a…
Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic and let $X$ be an irreducible projective variety over $K$. Let $G\subseteq\text{Bir}(X)$ be a bounded-degree subgroup. We prove that there exists an irreducible projective…
If $X$ is a variety with an additional structure $\xi$, such as a marked point, a divisor, a polarization, a group structure and so forth, then it is possible to study whether the pair $(X,\xi)$ is defined over the field of moduli. There…
We prove a geometric version of a classical result on the characterization of an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_E)$ being the base change of a stable cuspidal packet of the quasi-split unitary…
We first show that any connected algebraic group over a perfect field is the neutral component of the automorphism group scheme of some normal projective variety. Then we show that very few connected algebraic semigroups can be realized as…
In this short note we prove a version of Bertini's theorem for unipotent rigid fundamental groups, stating that for every smooth, projective, geometrically connected variety $X$ over an infinite perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$,…
If G is a finite subgroup of the automorphism group of a projective curve X and D is a divisor on X stabilized by G, then under the assumption that D is nonspecial, we compute a simplified formula for the trace of the natural representation…
We show that with few exceptions every local isometric automorphism of the group algebra $L^p(G)$ of a compact group $G$ is an isometric automorphism.
To each totally disconnected, locally compact topological group G and each group A of automorphisms of G, a pseudo-metric space of ``directions'' has been associated by U. Baumgartner and the second author. Given a Lie group G over a local…
This article initiates a geometric study of the automorphism groups of general graph products of groups, and investigates the algebraic and geometric structure of automorphism groups of cyclic product of groups. For a cyclic product of at…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective geometrically irreducible curve over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. Suppose $G$ is a finite group acting faithfully on $X$ such that $G$ has non-trivial cyclic Sylow $p$-subgroups. We show…
Given a smooth curve, the canonical representation of its automorphism group is the space of global holomorphic differential 1-forms as a representation of the automorphism group of the curve. In this paper, we study an explicit set of…
Given a compact connected Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g \geq 2$, and integers $r\geq 2$, $d_p > 0$ and $d_z > 0$, in \cite{BDHW}, a generalized quot scheme ${\mathcal Q}_X(r,d_p,d_z)$ was introduced. Our aim here is to compute the…
The class, denoted by $\mathscr{S}$, of totally disconnected locally compact groups which are non-discrete, compactly generated, and topologically simple contains many compelling examples. In recent years, a general theory for these groups,…
Let $G$ be a totally disconnected, locally compact group and let $H$ be a virtually flat (for example, polycyclic) group of automorphisms of $G$. We study the structure of, and relationships between, various subgroups of $G$ defined by the…
We study genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves with reduced automorphism group $A_5$ and give equations $y^2=f(x)$ for such curves in both cases where $f(x)$ is a decomposable polynomial in $x^2$ or $x^5$. For any fixed genus the locus of such…
Let $X$ be a (projective, geometrically irreducible, nonsingular) algebraic curve of genus $g \ge 2$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of odd characteristic $p$. Let $Aut(X)$ be the group of all automorphisms of $X$ which fix…
