This manuscript represents an advance in the enumerative geometry of opers that takes the subject beyond our previous work. Motivated by a counting problem of linear differential equations in positive characteristic, we investigate the…
A $\mathfrak{g}$-oper for a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ is a specific type of flat principal bundle on an algebraic curve. When the base field is of prime characteristic $p$, those with vanishing $p$-curvature are called dormant…
A $\mathrm{PGL}_n^{(N)}$-oper is a specific type of flat $\mathrm{PGL}_n$-bundle on an algebraic curve in prime characteristic $p$ enhanced by an action of the sheaf of differential operators of level $N-1$. In this paper, we introduce and…
A differential module is a module equipped with a square-zero endomorphism. This structure underpins complexes of modules over rings, as well as differential graded modules over graded rings. We establish lower bounds on the class--a…
In the present paper, we prove that on a fixed pointed stable curve of characteristic $p>0$, there exists a duality between dormant $\mathfrak{sl}_n$-opers ($1 < n <p-1$) and dormant $\mathfrak{sl}_{(p-n)}$-opers. Also, we prove that there…
The purpose of this paper is to apply previous work on dormant opers to the study of the moduli space of stable bundles in positive characteristic. We affirmatively resolve the rank $2$ case of a conjecture proposed by the second author,…
Let $X$ be a smooth, projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. I provide a conjectural formula for the degree of the scheme of dormant ${\rm PGL}(r)$-opers on $X$ where $r\geq 2$ (I…
The aim of this work is to lay the foundations of differential geometry and Lie theory over the general class of topological base fields and -rings for which a differential calculus has been developed in recent work (collaboration with H.…
Generalizing differential geometry of smooth vector bundles formulated in algebraic terms of the ring of smooth functions, its derivations and the Koszul connection, one can define differential operators, differential calculus and…
A dormant oper is a specific type of principal bundle with a flat connection, defined on an algebraic curve in positive characteristic. The moduli spaces of dormant opers and their variants, known as dormant Miura opers, have been studied…
This is the first in a series of papers that deals with duality statements such as Mukai-duality (T-duality, from algebraic geometry) and the Baum-Connes conjecture (from operator $K$-theory). These dualities are expressed in terms of…
Towers of algebraic function fields over finite fields play a fundamental role in arithmetic geometry and coding theory. Classical examples arising from modular and Drinfeld modular curves exhibit asymptotically good behavior. In this…
We classify and construct $SL(n,\mathbb{R})$-intertwining differential operators $\mathcal{D}$ from a line bundle to a vector bundle over the real projective space $\mathbb{RP}^{n-1}$ by the F-method. This generalizes a classical result of…
We generalise the proof by Marian and Oprea of rank-level duality for non-abelian theta functions to the case of sections of line bundles (conformal blocks) over moduli spaces of parabolic vector bundles over a projective smooth curve. We…
The purpose of this paper is to develop a new theory of gauges in mixed characteristic. Namely, let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$ and $W(k)$ the $p$-typical Witt vectors. Making use of Berthelot's arithmetic differential…
Modular operads are a special type of operad: in fact, they bear the same relationship to operads that graphs do to trees (i.e. simply connected graphs). One of the basic examples of a modular operad is the collection of…
This article is based on lecture notes prepared for the August 2006 Cologne Summer School. The first part contains background material and references for beginners. The second (and main) part is a survey of the current status in the theory…
This paper shows that on the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of fixed rank and determinant (of any degree) on a smooth curve of genus at least two, the base locus of the generalized theta divisor is large provided the rank is…
This note studies $\mathrm{PGL}_n$-opers arising from generalized hypergeometric differential equations in prime characteristic $p$. We prove that these opers are rigid within the class of dormant opers. By combining this rigidity result…
We introduce and systematically develop two classes of discrete integrable operators: those with $2\times 2$ matrix kernels and those possessing general differential kernels, thereby generalizing the discrete analogue previously studied. A…
