We prove Szpiro's conjecture for elliptic curves over the rationals having $j$-invariant with denominator of logarithmic size with respect to its numerator.

The discreteness problem for finitely generated subgroups of $PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $PSL(2,\mathbb{C})$ is a long-standing open problem. In this paper we consider whether or not this problem is decidable by an algorithm. Our main result is…

Let $H<\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ be a finite index normal subgroup which is contained in a principal congruence subgroup, and let $\Phi(H)\neq H$ denote a term of the lower central series or the derived series of $H$. In this paper, we…

In this paper we generalize [3] and prove that the class of accessible and saddle-conservative cocycles (a wide class which includes cocycles evolving in GL(d,R), SL(d,R) and Sp(d,R) Lp-densely have a simple spectrum. We also generalize [3,…

We give a new and simple proof of the Hankel inversion formula for the classical Hankel transform which holds for a complex order with real part greater than -1. Using the proof of this formula we obtain the full description of the Kirillov…

The strong no loop conjecture states that a simple module of finite projective dimension over an artin algebra has no non-zero self-extension. The main result of this paper establishes this well known conjecture for finite dimensional…

We produce a sequence of finite dimensional representations of the fundamental group $\pi_1(S)$ of a closed surface where all simple closed curves act with finite order, but where each non--simple closed curve eventually acts with infinite…

For odd $n$ we construct a path $\rho_t\colon \pi_1(S) \to SL(n,\mathbb{R})$ of discrete, faithful and Zariski dense representations of a surface group such that $\rho_t(\pi_1(S)) \subset SL(n,\mathbb{Q})$ for every $t\in \mathbb{Q}$.

We show that there is a consistent polynomial quantization of the coordinate ring of a basic nilpotent coadjoint orbit of a semisimple Lie group. We also show, at least in the case of a nilpotent orbit in sl(2,R)*, that any such…

In this paper we formulate and prove a combinatorial version of the section conjecture for finite groups acting on finite graphs. We apply this result to the study of rational points and show that finite descent is the only obstruction to…

Let $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ be a pair of residual, odd, absolutely irreducible two-dimensional Galois representations of a totally real number field $F$. In this article we propose a conjecture asserting existence of "safe" chains of…

We describe our conjecture about the irreducible unitary representations of reductive Lie groups, in the special case of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$.

The Grothendieck-Katz $p$-curvature conjecture is an analogue of the Hasse Principle for differential equations. It states that a set of arithmetic differential equations on a variety has finite monodromy if its $p$-curvature vanishes…

The group is interesting as the first example of split rank 2 semisimple group, all the irreducible unitary representations of which are known. We make a precise realization of the discrete series representations (in Section 2) by using the…

For every $g\ge 2$ and $n\ge4$, we provide an $n-$manifold $M$ and a continuous $2-$sided map $f\colon S\longrightarrow M$, where $S$ is a closed genus $g$ surface, such that no simple loop is contained in $\text{ker}(\,f_*\,)$. This…

We give a proof of the openness conjecture of Demailly and Koll\'ar for positively curved singular metrics on ample line bundles over projective varieties. As a corollary it follows that the openness conjecture for plurisubharmonic…

We prove that for each sufficiently complicated orientable surface $S$, there exists an infinite image linear representation $\rho$ of $\pi_1(S)$ such that if $\gamma\in\pi_1(S)$ is freely homotopic to a simple closed curve on $S$, then…

We study the representation theory of the symmetric group $S_n$ in positive characteristic $p$. Using features of the LLT-algorithm we give a conjectural description of the projective cover $P(\lambda)$ of the simple module $D(\lambda)$…

The Dichotomy Conjecture for constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) states that every CSP is in P or is NP-complete (Feder-Vardi, 1993). It has been verified for conservative problems (also known as list homomorphism problems) by A.…

For any given positive integer $l$, we prove that every plane deformation of a circle which preserves the $1/2$ and $1/(2l+1)$-rational caustics is trivial i.e. the deformation consists only of similarities (rescalings plus isometries).
