We complete a classification of quadratic forms over a field of characteristic 2 of type (1,3) that become isotropic over the function field of a quadric.
We extend to characteristic two recent results about isotropy of quadratic forms over function fields. In particular, we provide a characterization of function fields not only of quadratic forms but also more generally of polynomials in…
The u-invariant of a field is the maximum dimension of ansiotropic quadratic forms over the field. It is an open question whether the u-invariant of function fields of p-aidc curves is 8. In this paper, we answer this question in the…
We study natural D-modules on the moduli stack of elliptic curves over a field of characteristic zero. We use this to produce an algebro-geometric version of the algebra of higher depth mock modular forms, studied from a Conformal Field…
We study orbit closures and stationary measures for groups of automorphisms of $p$-adic affine surfaces.
The geometry of algebraic curves over finite fields is a rich area of research. In previous work, the authors investigated a particular aspect of the geometry over finite fields of the classical unit circle, namely how the number of…
We offer some elementary characterisations of group and round quadratic forms. These characterisations are applied to establish new (and recover existing) characterisations of Pfister forms. We establish "going-up" results for group and…
This paper provides applications of patching to quadratic forms and central simple algebras over function fields of curves over henselian valued fields. In particular, we use a patching approach to reprove and generalize a recent result of…
Let F be a field of characteristic different from 2. The u-invariant and the Hasse number of a field F are classical and important field invariants pertaining to quadratic forms. These invariants measure the suprema of dimensions of…
We study finiteness (and vanishing) properties of the higher order degrees associated to complements of complex affine plane curves with mild singularities at infinity. Our results impose new obstructions on the class of groups that can be…
This paper presents an adaptation of recently developed algorithms for quadratic forms over number fields in arXiv:1304.0708 to global function fields of odd characteristics. First, we present algorithm for checking if a given…
In this paper we present an iterative construction of irreducible polynomials over finite fields based upon repeated applications of transforms induced by endomorphisms of odd prime degree of ordinary elliptic curves.
We prove that there are only finitely many modular curves of $D$-elliptic sheaves over $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ which are hyperelliptic. In odd characteristic we give a complete classification of such curves.
Let $q$ be a quadratic form over a field $F$ and let $L$ be a field extension of $F$ of odd degree. It is a classical result that if $q_L$ is isotropic (resp. hyperbolic) then $q$ is isotropic (resp. hyperbolic). In turn, given two…
Both a general and a diagonal u-invariant for forms of higher degree are defined, generalizing the u-invariant of quadratic forms. Both old and new results on these invariants are collected.
In this paper we study division algebras over the function fields of curves over $\Q_p$. The first and main tool is to view these fields as function fields over nonsingular $S$ which are projective of relative dimension 1 over the $p$ adic…
We consider quadric surface fibrations over curves, defined over algebraically closed and finite fields. Our goal is to understand, in geometric terms, spaces of sections for such fibrations. We analyze varieties of maximal isotropic…
We study endomorphism rings of principally polarized abelian surfaces over finite fields from a computational viewpoint with a focus on exhaustiveness. In particular, we address the cases of non-ordinary and non-simple varieties. For each…
We study the theory of finite-order p-adic functions and distributions on ray class groups of number fields, and apply this to the construction of (possibly unbounded) p-adic L-functions for automorphic forms on GL(2) which may be…
We study the p-adic valuation of the values of normalised Hecke eigenforms attached to non-isotrivial elliptic curves defined over function fields of transcendence degree one over finite fields of characteristic p. We derive upper bounds on…
