In this article, we study the Zariski closure of modular points in the two-dimensional universal deformation space when the residual Galois representation is reducible. Unlike the previous approaches in the residually irreducible case from…

We describe a refinement of the general theory of higher rank Euler, Kolyvagin and Stark systems in the setting of the multiplicative group over arbitrary number fields. We use the refined theory to prove new results concerning the Galois…

We prove that rational and 1-rational singularities of complex spaces are stable under taking quotients by holomorphic actions of reductive and compact Lie groups. This extends a result of Boutot to the analytic category and yields a…

Let $X$ be a smooth algebraic variety endowed with an action of a finite group $G$ such that there exists the geometric quotient $\pi_X:X\to X/G$. We characterize rational tensor fields $\tau$ on $X/G$ such that the {\it pull back} of $\tau…

Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact sigma-compact…

For 0-cycles on a variety over a number field, we define an analogue of the classical descent set for rational points. This leads to, among other things, a definition of the \'etale-Brauer obstruction set for 0-cycles, which we show is…

Questions related to Brauer-Manin obstructions to the Hasse principle and weak approximation for homogeneous spaces of tori over a number field are well-studied, generally using arithmetic duality theorems, starting with works of Sansuc and…

By studying some Clausen-like multiple Dirichlet series, we complete the proof of Manin's conjecture for sufficiently split smooth equivariant compactifications of the translation-dilation group over the rationals. Secondary terms remain…

In this paper we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points of bounded anticanonical height which lie on a certain Zariski dense subset of the biprojective hypersurface \begin{align*} x_1y_1^2+...+x_sy_s^2 = 0…

The purpose of this paper is to link anisotropy properties of an algebraic group together with compactness issues in the topological group of its rational points. We nd equivalent conditions on a smooth ane algebraic group scheme over a…

Inspired by the Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture and the descent problem for classical groups, in this paper we study the descents of unipotent representations of unitary groups over finite fields. We give the first descents of unipotent…

We consider the group theoretical properties of R--R scalars of string theories in the low-energy supergravity limit and relate them to the solvable Lie subalgebra $\IG_s\subset U$ of the U--duality algebra that generates the scalar…

We prove Banach, Newton-Raphson and Brouwer fixed point theorems in the framework of generalized smooth functions, a minimal extension of Colombeau's theory (and hence of classical distribution theory) which makes it possible to model…

We prove the Manin--Peyre equidistribution principle for smooth projective split toric varieties over the rational numbers. That is, rational points of bounded anticanonical height outside of the boundary divisors are equidistributed with…

Through highly non-constructive methods, works by Bestvina, Culler, Feighn, Morgan, Paulin, Rips, Shalen, and Thurston show that if a finitely presented group does not split over a virtually solvable subgroup, then the space of its discrete…

With a view towards applications in the theory of infinite-dimensional representations of finite-dimensional Lie supergroups, we introduce a new category of supermanifolds. In this category, supermanifolds of `maps' and `fields' (fibre…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic not 2 or 3. We establish polynomial lower bounds on the ambient dimension $N$ for an intersection $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ of quadrics, cubics and quartics to have a dense collection of solvable points,…

In this paper we further study links between concentration of measure in topological transformation groups, existence of fixed points, and Ramsey-type theorems for metric spaces. We prove that whenever the group $\Iso(\U)$ of isometries of…

In this paper we prove a sparse equidistribution theorem for Gross points over the rational function field $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. We apply this result to study the reduction map from CM Drinfeld modules to supersingular Drinfeld modules. Our…

Given a rank 3 real arrangement $\mathcal A$ of $n$ lines in the projective plane, the Dirac-Motzkin conjecture (proved by Green and Tao in 2013) states that for $n$ sufficiently large, the number of simple intersection points of $\mathcal…
