We construct a $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg $L$-function associated to the product of two families of modular forms, where the first is an ordinary (Hida) family, and the second an arbitrary universal-deformation family (without any ordinarity…

This article extends our study of the geometry of the $p$-adic eigencurve at a point defined by a weight $1$ cuspform $f$ irregular at $p$ and having complex multiplication, and the implications in Iwasawa and in Hida theories. The novel…

In this article we explain the Buium--Coleman approach to the Manin--Mumford conjecture, and outline its generalisations. As an illustration, we give a $p$-adic proof of a theorem of Bombieri, Masser and Zannier on curves in tori.

In this work, we prove a quantitative version of the prime-to-$p$ Manin--Mumford conjecture for varieties with ample cotangent bundle. More precisely, let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $F$, and let $X$ be a smooth…

Let $L$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $h:\mathbb{P}^1\to \mathbb{P}^1$ be a rational map defined over $L$, and let $c\in \mathbb{P}^1(L)$. We show that there exists a finitely generated subfield $K$ of $L$ over which both $c$ and…

In this paper, we show that the infinitesimal Torelli theorem implies the existence of deformations of automorphisms. In the first part, we use Hodge theory and deformation theory to study the deformations of automorphisms of complex…

Many common finite p-groups admit automorphisms of order coprime to p, and when p is odd, it is reasonably difficult to find finite p-groups whose automorphism group is a p-group. Yet the goal of this paper is to prove that the automorphism…

We define various formal moduli spaces of p-divisible groups which are regular, and morphisms between them. We formulate arithmetic transfer conjectures, which are variants of the arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture of the third author…

We construct examples of p-adic L-functions over universal deformation spaces for GL(2). We formulate a conjecture predicting that the natural parameter spaces for p-adic L-functions are not the usual eigenvarieties (parametrising…

Let $f_{\mathrm{new}}$ be a classical newform of weight $\geq 2$ and prime to $p$ level. We study the arithmetic of $f_{\mathrm{new}}$ and its unique $p$-stabilisation $f$ when $f_{\mathrm{new}}$ is $p$-irregular, that is, when its Hecke…

We study deformation theory of mod $p$ Galois representations of $p$-adic fields with values in generalised tori, such as $L$-groups of (possibly non-split) tori. We show that the corresponding deformation rings are formally smooth over a…

We consider p-divisible groups (also called Barsotti-Tate groups) in characteristic p, their deformations, and we draw some conclusions. For such a group we can define its Newton polygon (abbreviated NP). This is invariant under isogeny.…

We study ordinary abelian schemes in characteristic $p$ and their moduli spaces from the perspective of char $p$ Mumford--Tate, log Ax--Lindemann, and geometric Andr\'e--Oort conjectures (abbreviated as $\MTT_p$, $\mathrm{logAL}_p$ and…

We study the theory of finite-order p-adic functions and distributions on ray class groups of number fields, and apply this to the construction of (possibly unbounded) p-adic L-functions for automorphic forms on GL(2) which may be…

Let p be a prime. A p-adic functional on a torsion-free abelian group G is a group homomorphism from G to the p-adic integers. The group of all such p-adic functionals is viewed as a p-adic dual group of G, and is studied from the point of…

A major theme in the theory of $p$-adic deformations of automorphic forms is how $p$-adic $L$-functions over eigenvarieties relate to the geometry of these eigenvarieties. In this article we prove results in this vein for the ordinary part…

I present a general theory of overconvergent p-adic automorphic forms and eigenvarieties for connected reductive algebraic groups G whose real points are compact modulo centre, extending earlier constructions due to Buzzard, Chenevier and…

We prove two theorems that confirm an observation of Lubin concerning families of $p$-adic power series that commute under composition: under certain conditions, there is a formal group such that the power series in the family are either…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $D$ be a $p$-divisible group over $k$ which is not isoclinic. Let $\scrD$ (resp. $\scrD_k$) be the formal deformation space of $D$ over $\Spf(W(k))$ (resp. over…

We construct a $p$-adic $L$-function for $P$-ordinary Hida families of cuspidal automorphic representations on a unitary group $G$. The main new idea of our work is to incorporate the theory of Schneider-Zink types for the Levi quotient of…
