We describe surprising relationships between automorphic forms of various kinds, imaginary quadratic number fields and a certain system of six finite groups that are parameterised naturally by the divisors of twelve. The Mathieu group…
The study of entire holomorphic curves contained in projective algebraic varieties is intimately related to fascinating questions of geometry and number theory -- especially through the concepts of curvature and positivity which are central…
Using Seiberg-Witten Floer spectrum and Pin(2)-equivariant KO-theory, we prove new Furuta-type inequalities on the intersection forms of spin cobordisms between homology $3$-spheres. As an application, we give explicit constrains on the…
We present the supersymmetric extension of the recently constructed E$_{8(8)}$ exceptional field theory -- the manifestly U-duality covariant formulation of the untruncated ten- and eleven-dimensional supergravities. This theory is…
The Dubrovin conjecture predicts a relationship between the monodromy data of the Frobenius manifold associated to the quantum cohomology of a smooth projective variety and the bounded derived category of the same variety. A refinement of…
We classify the pairs of group morphisms $\Gamma \rightarrow {\rm Spin}(7)$ which are element conjugate but not globally conjugate. As an application, we study the case where $\Gamma$ is the Weil group of a $p$-adic local field, which is…
In this paper we examine the saturation conjecture on decompositions of tensor products of irreducible representations for complex semisimple algebraic groups of type $D$ (the even \emph{spin} groups: Spin$(2n)$ for $n\ge 4$ an integer),…
Let $G' \subset G$ be an inclusion of reductive groups whose real points have a non-trivial discrete series. Combining ergodic methods of Burger-Sarnak and the author with a positivity argument due to Li and the classification of minimal…
We derive a formula for Greenberg's $L$-invariant of Tate twists of the symmetric sixth power of an ordinary non-CM cuspidal newform of weight $\geq4$, under some technical assumptions. This requires a "sufficiently rich" Galois deformation…
Let X be a smooth closed oriented non-spin 4-manifold with even intersection form kE_8\oplus nH. In this article we show that n\geq |k| on X. Thus we confirm the 10/8-conjecture affirmatively. As an application, we also give an estimate of…
We prove the Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for cocompact Fuchsian groups, thereby giving necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed spin manifold of dimension greater than four with fundamental group cocompact Fuchsian to admit a…
In this paper, we continue the study of the existence problem of compact Clifford-Klein forms from a cohomological point of view, which was initiated by Kobayashi-Ono and extended by Benoist-Labourie and the author. We give an obstruction…
For $G$ a finite group, we show that functions on fields for the 2-dimensional supersymmetric sigma model with background $G$-symmetry determine cocycles for complex analytic $G$-equivariant elliptic cohomology. Similar structures in…
We show how to deduce the standard sign conjecture (a weakening of the K\"unneth standard conjecture) for Shimura varieties from some statements about discrete automorphic representations (Arthur's conjectures plus a bit more). We also…
In 1984 Gauduchon conjectured that one can find Gauduchon metrics with prescribed Ricci curvature on all compact complex manifolds. This conjecture was settled by Sz\'ekelyhidi-Tosatti-Weinkove (TW17, TW19, STW17) by the study of the…
We compute the equivariant K-homology of the groups PSL_2 of imaginary quadratic integers with trivial and non-trivial class-group. This was done before only for cases of trivial class number. We rely on reduction theory in the form of the…
Using the theory of spherical varieties and especially Frobenius splitting results for symmetric varieties, we give a type independent very short proof of Wahl's conjecture for cominuscule homogeneous spaces for all primes different from 2.
In this paper, we use the theta correspondence between $\mathrm{GSp_4}$ and $\mathrm{GO(V)}$ to discuss the $\mathrm{GSp_4}$-distinction problems over a quadratic field extension $E/F.$ With a similar strategy, we study the period for the…
We formulate a global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for general spin groups. That is, we formulate a conjecture on a relation between periods of certain automorphic forms on $GSpin_{n+1} \times GSpin_n$ along the diagonal subgroup $GSpin_n$…
For a homogeneous space $G/H$ of reductive type, we consider the tangential homogeneous space $G_\theta/H_\theta$. In this paper, we give obstructions to the existence of compact Clifford-Klein forms for such tangential symmetric spaces and…
