A conjecture of Breuil, Buzzard, and Emerton says that the slopes of certain reducible $p$-adic Galois representations must be integers. In previous work we showed this conjecture for representations that lie over certain non-subtle…

We give a sufficient condition, namely "Buzzard irregularity", for there to exist a cuspidal eigenform which does not have integral p-adic slope.

We prove a gluing lemma for sections of line bundles on a rigid analytic variety. We apply the lemma, in conjunction with a result of Buzzard's, to give a proof of (a generalization) of Coleman's theorem which states that overconvergent…

We investigate certain finiteness questions that arise naturally when studying approximations modulo prime powers of p-adic Galois representations coming from modular forms. We link these finiteness statements with a question by K. Buzzard…

Fix a prime $p\geq5$, an integer $N\geq1$ relatively prime to $p$, and an irreducible residual global Galois representation $\bar{r}: Gal_{\mathbb{Q}}\rightarrow GL_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$. In this paper, we utilize ghost series to study $p$-adic…

We show that noncongruence subgroups of SL_2(Z) projectively equivalent to congruence subgroups are ubiquitous. More precisely, they always exist if the congruence subgroup in question is a principal congruence subgroup Gamma(N) of level…

We survey Vojta's higher-dimensional generalizations of the $abc$ conjecture and Szpiro's conjecture as well as recent developments that apply them to various problems in arithmetic dynamics. In particular, the "$abcd$ conjecture" implies a…

We use a method of Buzzard to study p-adic families of different types of modular forms - classical, over imaginary quadratic fields and totally real fields. In the case of totally real fields of even degree, we get local constancy of…

Several authors have recently proved results which express cusp forms as $p$-adic limits of weakly holomorphic modular forms under repeated application of Atkin's $U$-operator. The proofs involve techniques from the theory of weak harmonic…

The ghost conjecture is first provided by Bergdall and Pollack in [BP-1,BP-2] to study the Up-slopes of spaces of modular forms, which, so far, has already brought plenty of important results. The local version of this conjecture under…

Let $F$ be a totally real field in which $p$ is unramified. We prove that, if a cuspidal overconvergent Hilbert cuspidal form has small slopes under $U_p$-operators, then it is classical. Our method follows the original cohomological…

Sturm's theorem states that a modular form with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}$ or $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ can only have an explicitly bounded order of vanishing at infinity. This result is one of the most powerful computational tools in the…

We propose a refined version of the Beilinson-Bloch conjecture for the motive associated with a modular form of even weight. This conjecture relates the dimension of the image of the relevant p-adic Abel-Jacobi map to certain combinations…

We formulate a local analogue of the ghost conjecture of Bergdall and Pollack, which essentially relies purely on the representation theory of GL_2(Q_p). We further study the combinatorial properties of the ghost series as well as its…

The Milnor conjecture has been a driving force in the theory of quadratic forms over fields, guiding the development of the theory of cohomological invariants, ushering in the theory of motivic cohomology, and touching on questions ranging…

The Pappas-Rapoport coherence conjecture, proved by Zhu, states that the dimensions of spaces of sections of certain line bundles coincide. The two sides of the equality correspond to the line bundles on spherical Schubert varieties in the…

In the relative trace formula approach to the arithmetic Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture, we formulate a local conjecture (arithmetic transfer) in the case of an exotic smooth formal moduli space of p-divisible groups, associated to a unitary…

For $N \geq 1$, let $S_{2}^{\text{new}}(N)$ denote the newspace of cuspidal modular forms of weight $2$ and level $N$. In 2004, Greg Martin conjectured that as a sequence in $N$, $\dim S_2^{\text{new}}(N)$ takes on all possible natural…

We study $p$-adic families of eigenforms for which the $p$-th Hecke eigenvalue $a_p$ has constant $p$-adic valuation ("constant slope families"). We prove two separate upper bounds for the size of such families. The first is in terms of the…
