In this paper, we call strongly modular those reducible semi-simple odd mod $l$ Galois representations for which the conclusion of the strongest form of Serre's original modularity conjecture holds. Under the assumption that the Serre…

Let $A$ be a split finite-dimensional associative unital algebra over a field. The first main result of this note shows that if the Ext-quiver of $A$ is a simple directed graph, then $HH^1(A)$ is a solvable Lie algebra. The second main…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over a finite field $F_q$. Let $\rho$ be a continuous representation $\pi(X)\to GL_n(F)$, where $F=F_l((t))$ with $F_l$ being another finite field of order prime to $q$. Assume that…

Let $p<q$ be odd primes, $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ be irreducible representations of $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}_p)$ and $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z}_q)$ of dimensions $\frac{p+1}{2}$ and $\frac{q+1}{2}$, respectively. We show that if…

Let $S$ be a punctured surface of finite type and negative Euler characteristic. We determine all possible representations $\rho:\pi_1(S) \to \text{PSL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ that arise as the monodromy of the Schwarzian equation on $S$ with…

Under suitable hypotheses, we prove that a form of a projective homogeneous variety $G/P$ defined over the function field of a surface over an algebraically closed field has a rational point. The method uses an algebro-geometric analogue of…

For $n\geq 2$, let $G_n$ be a group and let $\rho: B_n\rightarrow G_n$ be a representation of the braid group $B_n$. For a field $\mathbb{K}$ and $a,b,c\in \mathbb{K}$, Bardakov, Chbili, and Kozlovskaya extend the representation $\rho$ to a…

We study the cohomological equation for discrete horocycle maps on $SL(2, \mathbb{R})$ and $SL(2,\mathbb R)\times SL(2, \mathbb{R})$ via representation theory. Specifically, we prove Hilbert Sobolev non-tame estimates for solutions of the…

We introduce and motivate a conjecture about the existence of complete, 1-dimensional families of covers of an elliptic curve. If the conjecture holds, then it would imply a uniform lower bound of 5 for slope of the moduli space of curves.…

We prove that every hyperbolic curve with a faithful action of a non-cyclic $p$-group (with a few exceptions if $p=2$) has a twisted form of index $1$ which satisfies Grothendieck's section conjecture. Furthermore, we prove that for every…

In 2001, Woodall conjectured that for every pair of integers $s,t \ge 1$, all graphs without a $K_{s,t}$-minor are $(s+t-1)$-choosable. In this note we refute this conjecture in a strong form: We prove that for every choice of constants…

In this paper, we give a proof of the Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for the discrete series of U(p,q). Given a discrete series representation $D(\lambda)$ in terms of the Harish-Chandra parameter, the restriction of $D(\lambda)$ to U(p-1,q)…

We give a direct proof of the local converse theorem for quasi-split non-split $\mathrm{SO}_{2l}$ over a local non-Archimedean field of characteristic $p\neq 2$, applying the theory of Howe vectors and partial Bessel functions.

We show that the only sporadic simple group such that some of its faithful representations or some faithful representations of its stem extensions give rise to exceptional (weakly-exceptional but not exceptional, respectively) quotient…

We prove that a holomorphic line bundle on a projective manifold is pseudo-effective if and only if its degree on any member of a covering family of curves is non-negative. This is a consequence of a duality statement between the cone of…

Let $\ell$ be a prime, $k$ a finitely generated field of characteristic different from $\ell$, and $X$ a smooth geometrically connected curve over $k$. Say a semisimple representation of $\pi_1^{\mathrm{et}}(X_{\bar k})$ is arithmetic if it…

Let $\mathcal R$ be a $\Sigma^1_1$ binary relation and call a set $\mathcal R$-discrete iff no two distinct of its elements are $\mathcal R$-related. We show that in the extension of $\mathbf{L}$ by iterated Sacks forcing, there is a…

We prove a special case of a dynamical analogue of the classical Mordell-Lang conjecture. In particular, let $\phi$ be a rational function with no superattracting periodic points other than exceptional points. If the coefficients of $\phi$…

A proof of Petri's general conjecture on the unobstructedness of linear systems on a general curve is proposed, using only the local properties of the deformation space of the pair (curve, line bundle).

Let C be a 2-connected Gorenstein curve either reduced or contained in a smooth algebraic surface and let S be a subcanonical cluster (i.e. a 0-dim scheme such that the space H^0(C, I_S K_C) contains a generically invertible section). Under…
