We construct the Bruhat-Tits stratification of the reduced basic locus of regular ramified unitary Rapoport-Zink spaces of signature $(n\!-\!1,1)$ at vertex-stabilizer level. To study the Bruhat-Tits strata, we introduce strata…

This paper provides two characterizations of regularity for near-vector spaces: first, by expressing them as a direct sum of vector spaces over division rings formed by distributive elements; second, by expressing their dimension in term of…

We study spin structures on Riemann and Klein surfaces in terms of divisors. In particular, we take a closer look at spin structures on hyperelliptic and $p$-gonal surfaces defined by divisors supported on their branch points. Moreover, we…

Let n,d be positive integers, with d even (say d=2e). Let X_(n,d) denote the locus of degree d hypersurfaces in P^n which consist of two e-fold hyperplanes. We bound the regularity of the ideal of this variety. Moreover, we show that this…

We make a very detailed analysis of the numerical properties of effective divisors whose support is contained in the exceptional locus of a birational morphism of smooth projective surfaces. As an application we extend Miyaoka's inequality…

We study the projective normality of a minimal surface $X$ which is a ramified double covering over a rational surface $S$ with $\dim|-K_S|\ge 1$. In particular Horikawa surfaces, the minimal surfaces of general type with $K^2_X=2p_g(X)-4$,…

We investigate two families of divisors which we expect to play a distinguished role in the global geometry of Hurwitz space. In particular, we show that they are extremal and rigid in the small degree regime $d \leq 5$. We further show…

Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $\Delta_1,\Delta_2 < 0$ be two coprime fundamental discriminants. When $p$ splits in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\Delta_1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\Delta_2})$ the height pairings of the corresponding CM divisors on…

In this work, we give a new method to compute the Hilbert basis of the semigroup of certain positive divisors supported on the exceptional divisor of a normal surface singularity. Our approach is purely combinatorial which permits to avoid…

In this paper, we describe a stratification on the reduced special fiber of the basic unramified unitary Rapoport-Zink space of signature $(1,n-1)$ and at arbitrary parahoric level. We prove the smoothness, irreducibility and compute the…

The prime numbers have been a source of fascination for millenia and continue to surprise us. Motivated by the hyperuniformity concept, which has attracted recent attention in physics and materials science, we show that the prime numbers in…

We study orbits in a family of Markoff-like surfaces with extra off-diagonal terms over prime fields $\mathbb{F}_p$. It is shown that, for a typical surface of this form, every non-trivial orbit has size divisible by $p$. This extends a…

In this paper we prove higher regularity for 2m-th order parabolic equations with general boundary conditions. This is a kind of maximal L_p-L_q regularity with differentiability, i.e. the main theorem is isomorphism between the solution…

In this note, we extend work of Farkas and Rim\'anyi on applying quadric rank loci to finding divisors of small slope on the moduli space of curves by instead considering all divisorial conditions on the hypersurfaces of a fixed degree…

T. Dupuy, E. Katz, J. Rabinoff, D. Zureick-Brown introduced the module of total $p$-differentials for a ring over $Z/p^2Z$. We study the same construction for a ring over $Z_{(p)}$ and prove a regularity criterion. For a local ring, the…

We establish a close connection between intersection multiplicities of special cycles on arithmetic models of the Shimura variety for GU(1,2) and Fourier coefficients of derivatives of certain incoherent Eisenstein series, confirming a…

Let (G, \mu) be a pair of a reductive group G over the p-adic integers and a minuscule cocharacter {\mu} of G defined over an unramified extension. We introduce and study "(G, \mu)-displays" which generalize Zink's Witt vector displays. We…

We prove that there exists a universal constant $D$ such that if $p$ is a prime divisor of the index of the Fitting subgroup of a finite group $G$, then the number of conjugacy classes of G is at least $Dp/log_2 p$. We conjecture that we…

We introduce noncommutative rings with $DK$-property (Dubrovin-Komarnytsky's property) and investigate elementary divisor rings with such property. Mostly we pay attention to these kinds of noncommutative rings which have stable range $1$.…

We study the structure of the supersingular locus of the Rapoport--Zink integral model of the Shimura variety for $\mathrm{GU}(2,2)$ over a ramified odd prime with the special maximal parahoric level. We prove that the supersingular locus…
