Let p > 2 be prime. We state and prove (under mild hypotheses on the residual representation) a geometric refinement of the Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture for 2-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of Qp. We also state…
We conjecture that, for a fixed prime $p$, rational elliptic curves with higher rank tend to have more points mod $p$. We show that there is an analogous bias for modular forms with respect to root numbers, and conjecture that the order of…
We propose a formalism to capture the structure of the equivariant bordism rings of smooth manifolds with commuting involutions. We introduce the concept of an oriented el$_2^{RO}$-algebra, an algebraic structure featuring representation…
We illustrate the theory of the radius of convergence of a connection on a p-adic curve X, by deducing from it a simple proof of a variant of Alain Robert's p-adic Rolle theorem. We need to carefully compare our global notion of radius of…
I will survey some results in the theory of modular representations of a reductive $p$-adic group, in positive characteristic $\ell \neq p$ and $\ell=p$.
An algebraic version of a theorem due to Quillen is proved. More precisely, for a ground field k we consider the motivic stable homotopy category SH(k) of P^1-spectra equipped with the symmetric monoidal structure described in…
Victor Snaith gave a construction of periodic complex bordism by inverting the Bott element in the suspension spectrum of $BU$. This presents an $\mathbb{E}_\infty$ structure on periodic complex bordism by different means than the usual…
We prove the $p$-parity conjecture for elliptic curves over global fields of characteristic $p > 3$. We also present partial results on the $\ell$-parity conjecture for primes $\ell \neq p$.
We prove that the centre of the category of smooth mod $p$ representations with fixed central character of a split semisimple $p$-adic group is a local ring.
We extend the theory of the universal eta-invariant to the case of relative bordism groups of manifolds with boundaries. This allows the construction of secondary descendants of the universal eta-invariant. We obtain an interpretation of…
We characterize ring spectra morphisms from the algebraic cobordism spectrum $\QTR{Bbb}{MGL}$ (\QCITE{cite}{}{Vo1}) to an oriented spectrum $\QTR{Bbb}{E}$ (in the sense of Morel \QCITE{cite}{}{Mo}) via formal group laws on the…
The $p$-set, which is in a simple analytic form, is well distributed in unit cubes. The well-known Weil's exponential sum theorem presents an upper bound of the exponential sum over the $p$-set. Based on the result, one shows that the…
The notion of highly structured ring spectra of prime characteristic is made precise and is studied via the versal examples S//p for prime numbers p. These can be realized as Thom spectra, and therefore relate to other Thom spectra such as…
We use modular invariant theory to establish a complete set of relations of the mod $p$ homology of $\{QS^k\}_{k\geq0}$, for $p$ odd, as a ring object in the category of coalgebras (also known as a coalgebraic ring or a Hopf ring). We also…
We show that a if a Riemannian manifold admits a universal cover with bounded geometry and if 0 does not belong to the spectrum or is an isolated point in the spectrum of the Laplacian on $\ell$-forms, then there exists $1<p<2$ such that…
Let P be a connected smooth p-manifold. We describe the group of all cobordism classes of smooth maps of n-manifolds to P with singularities of a given $cal K$-invariant class in terms of certain stable homotopy groups by applying the…
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…
We formalize the ``metric bundle'' viewpoint by defining, for any smooth $n$--manifold $M$, the open fiberwise cones $\mathcal{G}^{p,q}\subset S^2\Tstar M$ of nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms with fixed signature $(p,q)$, and we…
Using continuation methods, we study the global solution structure of periodic solutions for a class of periodically forced equations, generalizing the case of relativistic pendulum. We obtain results on the existence and multiplicity of…
As an extension of an author's previous paper, we prove the Gersten-type conjecture for the mod $p$ \'{e}tale motivic cohomology over a local ring of mixed characteristic $(0, p)$. We also prove the $\mathbb{P}^{1}$-homotopy invariance for…
