In this thesis we give two applications of Ayoub's motivic nearby cycles functor: First we give a generalization of Grothendieck's classical local monodromy theorem. In the classical setup we show that the inertia group acts…

We describe an approach to logarithmic conformal field theories as limits of sequences of ordinary conformal field theories with varying central charge c. Logarithmic behaviour arises from degeneracies in the spectrum of scaling dimensions…

We study some constructions on distributions in a uniform $p$-adic context, and also in large positive characteristic, using model theoretic methods. We introduce a class of distributions which we call distributions of ${\mathscr…

Let G be a semisimple affine algebraic group over a field F. Assuming that G becomes of inner type over some finite field extension of F of degree a power of a prime p, we investigate the structure of the Chow motives with coefficients in a…

We introduce a strategy to study irreducible representations of automorphism groups of finite modules over local rings. We prove that these automorphism groups fit in a hierarchy that facilitates a stratification of their irreducible…

We study the action of the infinite Frobenius on the de Rham fundamental groups of affine curves defined over $\bfR$. As an application, we compute extension classes of real mixed Hodge structures associated with the motivic fundamental…

This survey paper, to appear in he proceedings of the Miami Winter School ``Geometric Methods in Algebra and Number Theory'', is concerned with extending classical results \`a la Ax-Kochen-Er{\v{s}}ov to $p$-adic integrals in a motivic…

We introduce a notion of inertial equivalence for integral $\ell$-adic representation of the Galois group of a global field. We show that the collection of continuous, semisimple, pure $\ell$-adic representations of the absolute Galois…

We study the resolvent norm of a certain class of closed linear operators on a Hilbert space, including unbounded operators with compact resolvent. It is shown that for any point in the resolvent set there exist directions in which the norm…

A useful crude approximation for Abelian functions is developed and applied to orbits. The bound orbits in the power-law potentials A*r^{-alpha} take the simple form (l/r)^k = 1 + e cos(m*phi), where k = 2 - alpha > 0 and 'l' and 'e' are…

Let $D$ be an indefinite quaternion division algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$. We approach the problem of bounding the sup-norms of automorphic forms $\phi$ on $D^\times(\mathbb{A})$ that belong to irreducible automorphic representations and…

We present an extension of the classical De Giorgi class, and then we show that functions in this new class are locally bounded and locally H\"older continuous. Some applications are given. As a first application, we give a regularity…

We study unirational algebraic varieties and the fields of rational functions on them. We show that after adding a finite number of variables some of these fields admit an infinitely transitive model. The latter is an algebraic variety with…

A combination of direct and inverse Fourier transforms on the unitary group $U(N)$ identifies normalized characters with probability measures on $N$-tuples of integers. We develop the $N\to\infty$ version of this correspondence by matching…

We survey our recent work on an extension of the theory of motivic integration, called arithmetic motivic integration. We developed this theory to understand how p-adic integrals of a very general type depend on p.

We study irreducible restrictions from modules over alternating groups to subgroups. We get reduction results which substantially restrict the classes of subgroups and modules for which this is possible. This is known when the…

Let $S_n f$ be the $n$th partial sum of the Fourier series of a function $f$ in $L^1(\D)$, where $\D$ is the ring of integers of a local field $K$. For $1<p<\infty$, we characterize all weight functions $w$ so that the partial sum operators…

Consider the class of optimal partition problems with long range interactions \[ \inf \left\{ \sum_{i=1}^k \lambda_1(\omega_i):\ (\omega_1,\ldots, \omega_k) \in \mathcal{P}_r(\Omega) \right\}, \] where $\lambda_1(\cdot)$ denotes the first…

This work studies the Fourier transform of the characteristic function of planar convex bodies averaged over affine transformations. We establish lower and upper bounds on the latter quantities in terms of the geometric properties of the…

We prove that every place of an algebraic function field F|K of arbitrary characteristic admits local uniformization in a finite extension F' of F. We show that F'|F can be chosen to be normal. If K is perfect and P is of rank 1, then…
