A section K on a genus g canonical curve C is identified as the key tool to prove new results on the geometry of the singular locus Theta_s of the theta divisor. The K divisor is characterized by the condition of linear dependence of a set…
We give congruences modulo powers of $p \in \{3, 5,7\}$ for the Fourier coefficients of certain modular functions in level $p$ with poles only at 0, answering a question posed by Andersen and the first author and continuing work done by the…
We discuss the structure of finite groups for which the projective indecomposable modules have special given dimensions. In particular, we prove the converse of Fong's dimension formula for $p$-solvable groups. Furthermore, we characterize…
In previous work, we defined certain virtual fundamental classes for special cycles on the moduli stack of Hermitian shtukas, and related them to the higher derivatives of non-singular Fourier coefficients of Siegel-Eisenstein series. In…
We show (under some hypothesis in small dimensions) that the analytic degree of the divisor of a modular form on the orthogonal group O(2,p) is determined by its weight. Moreover, we prove that certain integrals, occurring in Arakelov…
In this note, we give short proofs of the well-known results that the exponent of the Schur multiplier $\M$ divides the exponent of $\G$ for finite $\p$-groups of maximal class and potent $\p$-groups. Moreover, we prove the same for a…
We show how one can use the representation theory of ternary quartics to construct all vector-valued Siegel modular forms and Teichm\"uller modular forms of degree 3. The relation between the order of vanishing of a concomitant on the locus…
We use deformation theory to study the big Hecke algebra acting on mod-2 modular forms of prime level $N$ and all weights, especially its local component at the trivial representation. For $N = 3, 5$, we prove that the maximal reduced…
In this memoir, we study the even unimodular lattices of rank at most 24, as well as a related collection of automorphic forms of the orthogonal, symplectic and linear groups of small rank. Our guide is the question of determining the…
We classify degeneration patterns of Verma modules over the N=2 superconformal algebra in two dimensions. Explicit formulae are given for singular vectors that generate maximal submodules in each of the degenerate cases. The mappings…
We revisit the modular flavor symmetry from a more general perspective. The scalar modular forms of principal congruence subgroups are extended to the vector-valued modular forms, then we have more possible finite modular groups including…
We show in this work that homology in degree d of a congruence group, in a very general framework, defines a weakly polynomial functor of degree at most 2d and we describe this functor modulo polynomial functors of smaller degree. Our main…
We investigate an analogue of the Grothendieck $p$-curvature conjecture, where the vanishing of the $p$-curvature is replaced by the stronger condition, that the module with connection mod $p$ underlies a $\mathcal{D}_X$-module structure.…
Gives the most precise available description of the p-Frattini module for any p-perfect finite group G=G_0 (Thm. 2.8), and therefore of the groups G_{k,ab}, k \ge 0, from which we form the abelianized M(odular) T(ower). \S 4 includes a…
In this paper the authors provide a complete answer to Donkin's Tilting Module Conjecture for all rank $2$ semisimple algebraic groups and $\text{SL}_{4}(k)$ where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In the…
Let $\varphi: F\longrightarrow G$ be a graded morphism between free $R$-modules of rank $t$ and $t+c-1$, respectively, and let $I_j(\varphi)$ be the ideal generated by the $j \times j$ minors of a matrix representing $\varphi$. In this…
The following congruence for power sums, $S_n(p)$, is well known and has many applications: $1^n+2^n +\dots +p^n \equiv\begin{cases} -1 \text{ mod } p, & \text{ if } \ p-1 \ | \ n; 0 \text{ mod } p, & \text{ if } \ p-1 \ \not| \ n,…
We review and extend the results of [1] that gives a condition for reducibility of quantum representations of mapping class groups constructed from Reshetikhin-Turaev type topological quantum field theories based on modular categories. This…
We prove that the coherent cohomological dimension of the Siegel modular variety $A_{g,\Gamma}$ is at most $g(g+1)/2-2$ for $g\geq 2$. As a corollary, we show that the boundary of the compactified Siegel modular variety satisfies the…
We study a mod $p^c$ analog of the notion of transfer for automorphic forms. Instead of existence of eigenforms, such transfers yield congruences between eigenforms but, like transfers, we show that they can be established by a comparison…
