We study the branch divisors on the boundary of the canonical toroidal compactification of ball quotients. We show a criterion, the low slope cusp form trick, for proving that ball quotients are of general type. Moreover, we classify when…
For many classical moduli spaces of orthogonal type there are results about the Kodaira dimension. But nothing is known in the case of dimension greater than 19. In this paper we obtain the first results in this direction. In particular the…
A special cubic fourfold is a smooth hypersurface of degree three and dimension four that contains a surface not homologous to a complete intersection. Special cubic fourfolds give rise to a countable family of Noether-Lefschetz divisors…
In this paper we describe the general theory of constructing toroidal compactifications of locally symmetric spaces and using these to compute dimension formulas for spaces of modular forms. We focus explicitly on the case of the orthogonal…
In this paper, we study quadratic forms in spaces of holomorphic cusp forms. We show, conditionally, that when two quadratic forms in Hecke eigenforms share no common diagonal terms, their inner product is expected to converge to the sum of…
We construct an explicit family of modular iterated integrals which involves cusp forms. This leads to a new method of producing "invariant versions" of iterated integrals of modular forms. The construction will be based on an extension of…
To prove that a modular variety is of general type, there are three types of obstructions: reflective, cusp and elliptic obstructions. In this paper, we give a quantitative estimate of the reflective obstructions for the unitary case. This…
We show that the cuspidal component of the stable trace formula of a special odd orthogonal group over a number field, satisfies a weak form of beyond endoscopic decomposition. We also study the $r$-stable trace formula, when $r$ is the…
We study sums of additively twisted Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic cusp form, a Maass cusp form, and the symmetric-square lift of a holomorphic cusp form. We obtain bounds that are uniform with respect to both the form and the terms…
We prove that up to scaling there are only finitely many integral lattices L of signature (2,n) with n>20 or n=17 such that the modular variety defined by the orthogonal group of L is not of general type. In particular, when n>107, every…
We prove general type results for orthogonal modular varieties associated with the moduli of compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds of deformation generalised Kummer type ('deformation generalised Kummer varieties'). In particular, we consider…
In this paper we describe a method for computing a basis for the space of weight $2$ cusp forms invariant under a non-split Cartan subgroup of prime level $p$. As an application we compute, for certain small values of $p$, explicit…
In 2016, Ahlgren and Samart used the theory of holomorphic modular forms to obtain lower bounds on $p$-adic valuations related to the Fourier coefficients of three cusp forms. In particular, their work strengthened a previous result of…
It is shown that the order and the lower order of growth are equal for all non-trivial solutions of $f^{(k)}+A f=0$ if and only if the coefficient $A$ is analytic in the unit disc and $\log^+ M(r,A)/\log(1-r)$ tends to a finite limit as…
In this paper we show that Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer type of congruences hold for weakly modular forms (modular forms that are permitted to have poles at cusps). Unlike the case of original congruences for cusp forms, these congruences are…
We study the moduli spaces of elliptic K3 surfaces of Picard number at least 3, i.e. $U\oplus \langle -2k \rangle$-polarized K3 surfaces. Such moduli spaces are proved to be of general type for $k\geq 220$. The proof relies on the…
In this paper, we explore a two-way connection between quasimodular forms of depth $1$ and a class of second-order modular differential equations with regular singularities on the upper half-plane and the cusps. Here we consider the cases…
Given an irreducible representation of $SL_2(F_q)$ for an odd prime $q\geq 5$, we find the dimension of the space of cusp forms with respect to the full modular group taking values in the representation space. The dimension equals the…
A toric variety is a normal complex variety which is completely described by combinatorial data, namely by a fan of strongly convex rational (with respect to a lattice) cones. Due to this rationality condition, toric varieties are…
We investigate gauge anomalies in the context of orbifold conformal field theories. Such anomalies manifest as failures of modular invariance in the constituents of the orbifold partition function. We review how this irregularity is…
