We consider a central extension of the mapping class group of a surface with a collection of framed colored points. The Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFTs associated to SU(2) and SO(3) induce linear representations of this group. We show that…

We prove that convex-cocompact representations of finitely generated groups in the group of isometries of the infinite-dimensional hyperbolic space form an open set in the space of representations, allowing us to deform these…

For a compact real form $U$ of a complex simple Lie group $G$, and an irreducible representation $\rho:\Gamma \to U$ of a Fuchsian group of the first kind $\Gamma$, it is shown that the classical isomorphism of Shimura, for the periods of a…

Real, complex, and tropical algebraic geometry join forces in a new branch of mathematical physics called positive geometry. We develop the positive geometry of del Pezzo surfaces and their moduli spaces, viewed as very affine varieties.…

The aim of this article is to generalize Kato's (commutative) p-adic local epsilon-conjecture [Ka93b] for families of (phi,Gamma)-modules over the Robba ring. In particular, we prove the generalized local epsilon-conjecture for rank one…

Using the thermodynamics formalism, we introduce a notion of intersection for projective Anosov representations, show analyticity results for the intersection and the entropy, and rigidity results for the intersection. We use the…

For any power $q$ of the positive ground field characteristic, a smooth $q$-bic threefold -- the Fermat threefold of degree $q+1$ for example -- has a smooth surface $S$ of lines which behaves like the Fano surface of a smooth cubic…

We provide new group presentations for surface braid groups which are positive. We study some properties of such presentations and we solve the conjugacy problem in a particular case.

In this article I study the variation of Selmer groups in families of modular Galois representations that are congruent modulo a fixed prime $p \geq 5$. Motivated by analogies with Goldfeld's conjecture on ranks in quadratic twist families…

Let $\Gamma_g$ be the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface of genus $g\geqslant 2$. The outer automorphism group $\mathrm{Out}(\Gamma_g)$ naturally acts on the character variety $\mathcal{X}(\Gamma_g,G)$ for any Lie group $G$.…

We show that the Galois cohomology groups of $p$-adic representations of a direct power of $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}_p}/\mathbb{Q}_p)$ can be computed via the generalization of Herr's complex to multivariable…

Let $F$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We determine the Lubin-Tate $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules associated to the absolutely irreducible mod $p$ representations of the absolute Galois group ${\rm Gal}(\bar{F}/F)$.

We show that for a fixed k, Gromov random groups with any positive density have no non-trivial degree-k representations over any field, a.a.s. This is especially interesting in light of the results of Agol, Ollivier and Wise that when the…

Consider the space B of complex $p\times q$ matrces with norm <1. There exists a standard one-parameter family $S_a$ of unitary representations of the pseudounitary group U(p,q) in the space of holomorphic functions on B (i.e. scalar…

We identify all Anosov representations of compact hyperbolic triangle reflection groups into the higher rank Lie group $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb R)$. Specifically, we prove that such a representation is Anosov if and only if either it lies in…

It is well known that, for any finitely generated torsion module M over the Iwasawa algebra Z_p [[{\Gamma} ]], where {\Gamma} is isomorphic to Z_p, there exists a continuous p-adic character {\rho} of {\Gamma} such that, for every open…

We consider the classical theta operator $\theta$ on modular forms modulo $p^m$ and level $N$ prime to $p$ where $p$ is a prime greater than 3. Our main result is that $\theta$ mod $p^m$ will map forms of weight $k$ to forms of weight…

We give a new proof of a result by Fathi, which states that, to any homeomorphism of a closed surface which is isotopic to a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism, we can associate a stable and an unstable invariant partition of the surface with…

In this paper, we study relations between positivity of the curvature and the asymptotic behavior of the higher cohomology group for tensor powers of a holomorphic line bundle. The Andreotti-Grauert vanishing theorem asserts that partial…

Explicit expressions for associated spherical functions of $SO(p,q)$ matrix groups are obtained using a generalized hypergeometric series of two variables.
