This is a revised version of ANT-0049. Given an elliptic curve E --> B over a base B with zero section i, we denote, letting E':= E - i(B), by L(E) the Q-vector space with basis ({s}, s \in E'(B)). Assume that B is smooth and separated over…
In this paper, we study the algebraic symplectic geometry of the singular moduli spaces of Higgs bundles of degree $0$ and rank $n$ on a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g$. In particular, we prove that such moduli spaces are…
In this article we prove that for a large class of 2-dimensional minimal cones (including almost all 2-dimensional minimal cones that we know), the almost orthogonal union of any two of them is still a minimal cone. Comparing to existing…
We generalize the results of Kahn about a correspondence between Cohen-Macaulay modules and vector bundles to non-commutative surface singularities. As an application, we give examples of non-commutative surface singularities which are not…
We consider the genus-one curves which arise in the cuts of the sunrise and in the elliptic double-box Feynman integrals. We compute and compare invariants of these curves in a number of ways, including Feynman parametrization, lightcone…
We confirm a conjecture of Darmon-Vonk on the antisymmetry of real quadratic singular moduli. The proof relies on a careful analysis of rigid meromorphic cocycles \`a la Darmon-Gehrmann-Lipnowski for the split orthogonal group on four…
We prove a structure theorem for the isometry group Iso(M, g) of a compact Lorentz manifold, under the assumption that a closed subgroup has exponential growth. We don't assume anything about the identity component of Iso(M, g), so that our…
A recent paper of Shekhar compares the ranks of elliptic curves $E_1$ and $E_2$ for which there is an isomorphism $E_1[p] \simeq E_2[p]$ as $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbf{Q}}/\mathbf{Q})$-modules, where $p$ is a prime of good ordinary reduction…
We compute the $\integ/\ell$ and $\integ_\ell$ monodromy of every irreducible component of the moduli spaces of hyperelliptic and trielliptic curves. In particular, we provide a proof that the $\integ/\ell$ monodromy of the moduli space of…
For any non-simply laced Lie group $G$ and elliptic curve $\Sigma$, we show that the moduli space of flat $G$ bundles over $\Sigma$ can be identified with the moduli space of rational surfaces with $G$-configurations which contain $\Sigma$…
We describe the complex multiplication (CM) values of modular functions for $\Gamma_0(N)$ whose divisor is given by a linear combination of Heegner divisors in terms of special cycles on the stack of CM elliptic curves. In particular, our…
Let A be a CM abelian variety defined over a number field K. We compute congruence relations on units in fields generated by adjoining torsion points of A to K. For elliptic curves, congruence relations of the type we compute were used in…
We describe a vanishing result on the cohomology of a cochain complex associated to the moduli of chains of finite subgroup schemes on elliptic curves. These results have applications to algebraic topology, in particular to the study of…
We study the elliptic modular surface attached to the commutator subgroup of the modular group. This has an elliptic curve as base and only one singular fibre. We employ an algebraic approach and then consider some arithmetic questions.
The modular curve X_0(N) parametrizes elliptic curves together with a cyclic subgroup of order N, and hence cyclic N-isogenies. While explicit moduli descriptions of X_1(N) are well developed, a comparable construction for X_0(N) has…
We study the Iwasawa theory of a CM elliptic curve $E$ in the anticyclotomic $\mathbf{Z}_p$-extension of the CM field, where $p$ is a prime of good, ordinary reduction for $E$. When the complex $L$-function of $E$ vanishes to even order,…
The modular degree m_E of an elliptic curve E/Q is the minimal degree of any surjective morphism X_0(N) -> E, where N is the conductor of E. We give a necessarily set of criteria for m_E to be odd. Specializing to N prime our results imply…
Mazur's isogeny theorem states that if $p$ is a prime for which there exists an elliptic curve $E / \mathbb{Q}$ that admits a rational isogeny of degree $p$, then $p \in \{2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,37,43,67,163 \}$. This result is one of the…
This article gives a new proof of the Gross--Kohnen--Zagier theorem for Shimura curves which exploits the $p$-adic uniformization of Cerednik--Drinfeld. The explicit description of CM points via this uniformization leads to an expression…
We prove several results on torsion points and Galois representations for complex multiplication (CM) elliptic curves over a number field containing the CM field. One result computes the degree in which such an elliptic curve has a rational…
