Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime number and let $G = SL_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$. Let $\Xi$ = Spec$(Z)$ denote the spectrum of the centre $Z$ of the pro-$p$ Iwahori Hecke algebra of $G$ with coefficients in a field $k$ of characteristic $p$. Let…

We identify additional structure on a conservative lax monoidal functor from a closed monoidal category $\mathcal{C}$ to a Grothendieck-Verdier category $\mathcal{D}$, such that the Grothendieck-Verdier structure of $\mathcal{D}$ lifts to…

The Wronskian determinants (for coefficients of higher-order differential operators on the affine real line or circle) satisfy the table of Jacobi-type quadratic identities for strong homotopy Lie algebras -- i.e. for a particular case of…

Let G be a semi-simple algebraic group over a finitely generated field K of characteristic zero, and let \Gamma < G(K) be a finitely generated Zariski-dense subgroup. In this note we prove that the set of K-generic elements of \Gamma (whose…

Profinite groups with a cyclotomic $p$-orientation are introduced and studied. The special interest in this class of groups arises from the fact that any absolute Galois group $G_{K}$ of a field $K$ is indeed a profinite group with a…

We prove the existence of a new structure on the first Galois cohomology of generic families of symplectic self-dual $p$-adic representations of $G_{\mathbb{Q}_p}$ of rank two (a local sign decomposition): a functorial decomposition into…

Rallis and Soudry have proven the stability under twists by highly ramified characters of the local gamma factor arising from the doubling method, in the case of a symplectic group or orthogonal group G over a local non-archimedean field F…

We resolve the Grothendieck-Serre question over an arbitrary base field $k$: for a smooth $k$-group scheme $G$ and a smooth $k$-variety $X$, we show that every generically trivial $G$-torsor over $X$ trivializes Zariski semilocally on $X$.…

Let F be a number field with adele ring A_F, and \pi an isobaric, algebraic automorphic representation of GL_4(A_F) of a fixed archimedean weight, which is quasi-regular, meaning that at every archimedean place v of F, the 4-dimensional…

We explain how the geometric framework introduced in arXiv:2508.11621 [math.AG] provides a universal property for the 2-rings of perfect complexes on qcqs spectral or Dirac spectral schemes. As an application, given a qcqs spectral or Dirac…

For a rank one Lie group G and a Zariski dense and geometrically finite subgroup $\Gamma$ of G, we establish equidistribution of holonomy classes about closed geodesics for the associated locally symmetric space. Our result is given in a…

Prototypical rational vertex operator algebras are associated to affine Lie algebras at positive integer level k. They correspond physically to the Wess-Zumino-Witten theories, and their representation theory can be captured by quantum…

Let $G$ and $\tilde G$ be connected complex reductive Lie groups, $G$ semisimple. Let $\Lambda^+$ be the monoid of dominant weights for a positive root system $\Delta^+$, and let $l(w)$ be the length of a Weyl group element $w$. Let…

A main problem in Galois theory is to characterize the fields with a given absolute Galois group. We apply a K-theoretic method for constructing valuations to study this problem in various situations. As a first application we obtain an…

Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ can be realised by vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^1\ni x$ with polynomial coefficients $1$, $-2x$, $-x^2$; their Wronskian determinants yield the Lie bracket. Likewise, the monomials $1$, $\ldots$, $x^k/k!$,…

It is proved that the profinite completion of the mapping class group Mod (g,n) of a surface of genus g with n boundary components is isomorphic to such of the arithmetic group GL(6g-6+2n, Z). We establish a relation between the normal…

Let $(G,G')$ be a type I irreducible reductive dual pair in $\mathrm{Sp}(W_{\mathbb{R}})$. We assume that $(G,G')$ is in the stable range where $G$ is the smaller member. Let $K$ and $K'$ be maximal compact subgroups of $G$ and $G'$…

The Grothendieck-Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group $G$ over a regular semilocal ring $R$ is trivial. We establish this for unramified $R$ granted that $G^{\mathrm{ad}}$ is totally…

On the background of Zhang's local Gross-Zagier formulae for GL(2), we study some p-adic problems. The local Gross-Zagier formulae give identities of very special local geometric data (local linking numbers) with certain local Fourier…

Let $K$ be a 2-dimensional global field of characteristic $\neq 2$, and let $V$ be a divisorial set of places of $K$. We show that for a given $n \geqslant 5$, the set of $K$-isomorphism classes of spinor groups $G = \mathrm{Spin}_n(q)$ of…
