In this article, for $n\geq 2$, we compute asymptotic, qualitative, and quantitative estimates of the Bergman kernel of Picard modular cusp forms associated to torsion-free, cocompact subgroups of $\mathrm{SU}\big((n,1),\mathbb{C}\big)$.…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 3$ and $S$ a finite subset of $X$. Let $\xi$ be fixed a holomorphic line bundle over $X$ of degree $d$. Let $\mathcal{M}_{pc}(r, d, \alpha)$ (respectively, $\mathcal{M}_{pc}(r, \alpha,…

We give a new algorithm for constructing Picard curves over a finite field with a given endomorphism ring. This has important applications in cryptography since curves of genus 3 allow for smaller key sizes than elliptic curves. For a…

Given a finite index subgroup of $SL_2(\mathbb Z)$ with modular curve defined over $\mathbb Q$, under the assumption that the space of weight $k$ ($ \ge 2$) cusp forms is $1$-dimensional, we show that a form in this space with Fourier…

Let S_{w+2}(\Gamma_0(N)) be the vector space of cusp forms of weight w+2 on the congruence subgroup \Gamma_0(N). We first determine explicit formulas for period polynomials of elements in S_{w+2}(\Gamma_0(N)) by means of Bernoulli…

The aim of this paper is to give a higher dimensional equivalent of the classical modular polynomials $\Phi_\ell(X,Y)$. If $j$ is the $j$-invariant associated to an elliptic curve $E_k$ over a field $k$ then the roots of $\Phi_\ell(j,X)$…

In this article, we study the Mahler measures of more than 500 families of reciprocal polynomials defining genus 2 and genus 3 curves. We numerically find relations between the Mahler measures of these polynomials with special values of…

We establish formulas for the Poincar\'e polynomial of the type B analogue of the Deligne--Knudsen--Mumford moduli space of rational curves with $n$ marked points, providing type B counterparts to results by Keel, Manin, Getzler and…

We classify the graphs that can occur as the graph of rational preperiodic points of a quadratic polynomial over $\bold Q$, assuming the conjecture that it is impossible to have rational points of period $4$ or higher. In particular, we…

We define and count lattice points in the moduli space of stable genus g curves with n labeled points. This extends a construction of the second author for the uncompactified moduli space. The enumeration produces polynomials with top…

We prove that the space of holomorphic $p$-forms on the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ of stable curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points vanishes for $p=14, 16, 18$ unconditionally and also for $p=20$ under a natural…

We compute the Hodge polynomials for the moduli space of representations of an elliptic curve with two marked points into SL(2,C). When we fix the conjugacy classes of the representations around the marked points to be diagonal and of…

This article lays the foundations for the study of modular forms transforming with respect to representations of Fuchsian groups of genus zero. More precisely, we define geometrically weighted graded modules of such modular forms, where the…

We study the fine geometric structure of bifurcation currents in the parameter space of cubic polynomials viewed as dynamical systems. In particular we prove that these currents have some laminar structure in a large region of parameter…

We determine all the quadratic points on the genus $13$ modular curve $X_0(163)$, thus completing the answer to a recent question of Banwait, the second-named author, and Padurariu. In doing so, we investigate a curious phenomenon involving…

We study a graded vector space of polynomials associated to a square matrix, defined by a finite difference condition along the rows. We show this space coincides with one defined by directional derivatives, and prove it is…

We introduce the concept of quadratic modular symbol and study how these symbols are related to quadratic p-adic L-functions. These objects were introduced in [3] in the case of modular curves. In this paper, we discuss a method to attach…

In this paper, a generalized cusp is a properly convex manifold with strictly convex boundary that is diffeomorphic to $M \times [0, \infty)$ where $M$ is a closed Euclidean manifold. These are classified in [2]. The marked moduli space is…

For a complex elliptic curve $E$ and a point $p$ of order $n$ on it, the images of the points $p_k=kp$ under the Weierstrass embedding of $E$ into $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$ are collinear if and only if the sum of indices is divisible by $n$.…

We study the Picard groups of moduli spaces of smooth complex projective curves that have a group of automorphisms with a prescribed topological action. One of our main tools is the theory of symmetric mapping class groups. In the first…
