Let $A$ be a regular ring of dimension $d$ essentially of finite type over an infinite field $k$ of characteristic $\neq 2$. Let $P$ be a projective $A$-module of rank $n$ with $2n\geq d+3$. Let $I$ be an ideal of $A[T]$ of height $n$ and…
We study complex projective manifolds X that admit surjective endomorphisms f:X->X of degree at least two. In case f is etale, we prove structure theorems that describe X. In particular, a rather detailed description is given if X is a…
Watkins' conjecture asserts that for a rational elliptic curve $E$ the degree of the modular parametrization is divisible by $2^r$, where $r$ is the rank of $E$. In this paper we prove that if the modular degree is odd then $E$ has rank…
In a previous paper [CG], we showed how one could generalize Taylor-Wiles modularity lifting theorems [Wil95, TW95] to contexts beyond those in which the automorphic forms in question arose from the middle degree cohomology of Shimura…
We define a new elliptic genus psi on the complex bordism ring. With coefficients in Z[1/2], we prove that it induces an isomorphism of the complex bordism ring modulo the ideal which is generated by all differences P(E)-P(E*) of projective…
The elliptic genus (EG) of a compact complex manifold was introduced as a holomorphic Euler characteristic of some formal power series with vector bundle coefficients. EG is an automorphic form in two variables only if the manifold is a…
We show that Lubin-Tate spectra at the prime $2$ are Real oriented and Real Landweber exact. The proof is by application of the Goerss-Hopkins-Miller theorem to algebras with involution. For each height $n$, we compute the entire homotopy…
Let pi: M^{ell+n} -> B^n be a submersion that presents a regular foliation by its fibers, and let S^n subset M be a closed embedded complementary submanifold, with f = pi|S: S -> B. We give two concise obstructions to keeping S everywhere…
Let $C$ and $D$ be smooth, proper and geometrically integral curves over a finite field $F$. Any morphism from $D$ to $C$ induces a morphism of their \'etale fundamental groups. The anabelian philosophy proposed by Grothendieck suggests…
We consider a uniformly elliptic operator $L_A$ in divergence form associated with an $(n+1)\times(n+1)$-matrix $A$ with real, merely bounded, and possibly non-symmetric coefficients. If $$\omega_A(r)=\sup_{x\in \mathbb{R}^{n+1}}…
A map $p:E\to X$ has the \emph{unique path lifting} property if every path in $X$, after a choice of an initial point, lifts uniquely to a path in $E$. We prove that if a group $G$ acts on an $\mathbb R$-tree $T$ such that the quotient map…
In a recent paper, the second author and Joana Cirici proved a theorem that says that given appropriate hypotheses, $n$-formality of a differential graded algebraic structure is equivalent to the existence of a chain-level lift of a…
We consider regular endomorphisms of the complex affine space with a degree gap $k$. They are endomorphisms $f$ of $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^{N}$ of the form…
In this article, we study the Hamiltonian dynamics on singular symplectic manifolds and prove the Arnold conjecture for a large class of $b^m$-symplectic manifolds. Novel techniques are introduced to associate smooth symplectic forms to the…
Let $f(z) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_f(n)q^n$ be a holomorphic cuspidal newform with even integral weight $k\geq 2$, level $N$, trivial nebentypus, and no complex multiplication (CM). For all primes $p$, we may define $\theta_p\in [0,\pi]$ such…
We give an algorithm that takes a smooth hypersurface over a number field and computes a $p$-adic approximation of the obstruction map on the Tate classes of a finite reduction. This gives an upper bound on the "middle Picard number" of the…
In this paper we show that both the homotopy category of strict $n$-categories, $1\leqslant n \leqslant \infty$, and the homotopy category of Steiner's augmented directed complexes are equivalent to the category of homotopy types. In order…
This paper is part of a series of papers about homotopy theory of strict $n$-categories. In the first paper of this series, we gave conditions that guarantee the existence of a Thomason model category structure on the category of strict…
We clarify how close a second order fully nonlinear equation can come to uniform ellipticity, through counting large eigenvalues of the linearized operator. This suggests an effective and novel way to understand the structure of fully…
Let $\varphi$ denote a $k$-algebra endomorphism of the $n$-th Weyl algebra $A_n(k)$ over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. We prove that $\varphi$ can be lifted to an endomorphism of the Weyl algebra $A_n(W_2(k))$ over the…
