Using Margulis's results on lattices in semisimple Lie groups, we prove the Grothendieck-Katz $p$-Curvature Conjecture for certain locally symmetric varieties, including the moduli space of abelian varieties ${\cal A}_g$ when $g > 1.$
We prove a strengthened form of a conjecture of Sun on a determinant attached to a binary quadratic form. Let $n>3$ and let $c,d\in\Z$. If $n$ is composite, then \[ \det\big[(i^2+cij+dj^2)^{n-2}\big]_{0\leq i,j\leq n-1}\equiv 0\pmod {n^2}…
Let $f: S\longrightarrow B$ be a non-trivial fibration from a complex projective smooth surface $S$ to a smooth curve $B$ of genus $b$. Let $c_f$ the Clifford index of the generic fibre $F$ of $f$. In [arXiv:1401.7502v4] it is proved that…
Let $V$ be a $G$-module where $G$ is a complex reductive group. Let $Z:=\quot VG$ denote the categorical quotient and let $\pi\colon V\to Z$ be the morphism dual to the inclusion $\O(V)^G\subset\O(V)$. Let $\phi\colon Z\to Z$ be an…
We investigate the Jordan-H\"older property (JHP) in exact categories. First, we show that (JHP) holds in an exact category if and only if the Grothendieck monoid introduced by Berenstein and Greenstein is free. Moreover, we give a…
Let $f$ be a cuspidal eigenform of weight two and level $N$, let $p\nmid N$ be a prime at which $f$ is congruent to an Eisenstein series and let $V_f$ denote the $p$-adic Tate module of $f$. Beilinson constructed a class $\kappa_f\in…
Let X be a noetherian scheme of finite Krull dimension, having 2 invertible in its ring of regular functions, an ample family of line bundles, and a global bound on the virtual mod-2 cohomological dimensions of its residue fields. We prove…
Let $\mathbf{H}$ be the cartesian product of a family of finite abelian groups indexed by a finite set $\Omega$. A given poset (i.e., partially ordered set) $\mathbf{P}=(\Omega,\preccurlyeq_{\mathbf{P}})$ gives rise to a poset metric on…
Using Fourier analysis, Covert, Hart, Iosevich and Uriarte-Tuero (2008) showed that if the cardinality of a subset of the 2-dimensional vector space over a finite field with q elements is >= rq^2, with q^{-1/2} << r <= 1 then it contains an…
For every fixed genus $g\geq 1$, we consider all quadruples $Q=(w_0,w_1,w_2,d)\in\mathbb{Z}^4_{>0}$ with the property that any smooth degree-$d$ curve embedded in the weighted projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2(w_0,w_1,w_2)$ has genus $g$. We…
We describe a connection between the combinatorics of generators for certain groups and the combinatorics of Helly's 1913 theorem on convex sets. We use this connection to prove fixed point theorems for actions of these groups on…
We propose a 'geometric Chevalley-Warning' conjecture, that is a motivic extension of the Chevalley-Warning theorem in number theory. It is equivalent to a particular case of a recent conjecture of F. Brown and O.Schnetz. In this paper, we…
This paper addresses a conjecture of Kadison and Kastler that a von Neumann algebra M on a Hilbert space H should be unitarily equivalent to each sufficiently close von Neumann algebra N and, moreover, the implementing unitary can be chosen…
Let $M$ be a closed symplectic manifold and suppose $M\to P\to B$ is a Hamiltonian fibration. Lalonde and McDuff raised the question whether one always has $H^*(P;\mathbb Q)=H^*(M;\mathbb Q)\otimes H^*(B;\mathbb Q)$ as vector spaces. This…
A conjecture of Hirschowitz's predicts that a globally generated vector bundle $W$ on a compact complex manifold $A$ satisfies the formal principle, i.e., the formal neighborhood of its zero section determines the germ of neighborhoods in…
We formulate a new theorem giving several necessary and sufficient conditions in order that a surjection of the fundamental group $\pi_1(X)$ of a compact K\"ahler manifold onto the fundamental group $\Pi_g$ of a compact Riemann surface of…
In this paper we use the Klazar-Marcus-Tardos method to prove that if a hereditary property of partitions P has super-exponential speed, then for every k-permutation pi, P contains the partition of [2k] with parts {i, pi(i) + k}, where 1 <=…
We prove, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for imaginary quadratic fields, that irreducible curves in the product of two modular curves that contain infinitely many complex multiplication points are either a Hecke correspondence…
We prove that the locus of irreducible nodal curves on a given Hirzebruch surface F_k of given linear equivalency class and genus g is irreducible.
For the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}_{g,n/\mathbb{F}_p}$ of smooth curves over $\text{Spec}~\mathbb{F}_p$ with the function field $K$, we show that if $g\geq3$, then the only $K$-rational points of the generic curve over $K$ are its $n$…
