Parahoric group schemes are certain possibly non-reductive, smooth, affine integral models of reductive group schemes defined over a henselian discretely valued field $K$ whose residue field is perfect. We show that any such group scheme…
We study G-valued semi-stable Galois deformation rings where G is a reductive group. We develop a theory of Kisin modules with G-structure and use this to identify the connected components of crystalline deformation rings of minuscule…
We describe locally the representation varieties of fundamental groups for smooth complex varieties at representations coming from the monodromy of a variation of mixed Hodge structure. Given such a manifold $X$ and such a linear…
Without recourse to the sophisticated machinery of twisted group algebras, projective character tables and explicit values of 2-cocycles, we here present a simple algorithm to study the gauge theory data of D-brane probes on a generic…
We develop a Dieudonn\'e theory for $p$-divisible groups using sheared Witt vectors.
One of the main themes of this long article is the study of projective varieties which are K(H,1)'s, i.e. classifying spaces BH for some discrete group H. After recalling the basic properties of such classifying spaces, an important class…
In this paper we suggest a new general formalism for studying the invariants of polyhedra and manifolds comming from the theory of von Neumann algebras. First, we examine generality in which one may apply the construction of the extended…
We prove that Shimura varieties of abelian type satisfy a $p$-adic Borel-extension property over discretely valued fields. More precisely, let $\mathsf{D}$ denote the rigid-analytic closed unit disc and $\mathsf{D}^{\times} = \mathsf{D}…
In this paper, discrete analogues of Euler-Poincar\'{e} and Lie-Poisson reduction theory are developed for systems on finite dimensional Lie groups $G$ with Lagrangians $L:TG \to {\mathbb R}$ that are $G$-invariant. These discrete equations…
For $k \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$, let $\mathcal{H}^{(k)}_{g,n}$ denote the vector bundle over $\mathfrak{M}_{g,n}$ whose every fiber consists of meromorphic $k$-differentials with poles of order at most $k-1$ on a fixed Riemman surface of genus…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$. We first classify the $D$-truncations mod $p$ of Shimura $F$-crystals over $k$ and then we study stratifications defined by inner isomorphism classes of these…
Let G be a smooth group scheme over $F_p$ equipped with a $G_m$-action such that all weights of $G_m$ on the Lie algebra of G are not greater than 1. Let $Disp_n^G$ be Eike Lau's stack of n-truncated G-displays (this is an algebraic stack…
We consider closed subschemes in the affine grassmannian obtained by degenerating $e$-fold products of flag varieties, embedded via a tuple of dominant cocharacters. For $G= \operatorname{GL}_2$, and cocharacters small relative to the…
Let $G$ be a split reductive group over the ring of integers in a $p$-adic field with residue field $\mathbf{F}$. Fix a representation $\overline{\rho}$ of the absolute Galois group of an unramified extension of $\mathbf{Q}_p$, valued in…
The outlines of a "Galois theory" for bimeromorphic geometry is here developed, via the study of model-theoretic definable binding groups in the theory CCM of compact complex spaces. As an application, a structure theorem about principal…
We study families of analytic $p$-divisible groups over adic spaces $S$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We prove an equivalence between such families and Hodge-Tate triples, generalizing a theorem of Fargues. For a perfectoid space $S$, we…
In this paper, we study Fontaine-Laffaille, self-dual deformations of a mod p non-semisimple Galois representation of dimension n with its Jordan-Holder factors being three mutually non-isomorphic absolutely irreducible representations. We…
Andr\'e used Hodge-theoretic methods to show that in a smooth proper family X to B of varieties over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0, there exists a closed fiber having the same Picard number as the geometric generic…
We construct by geometric methods a noncommutative model E of the algebra of regular functions on the universal (2-fold) cover M of certain nilpotent coadjoint orbits O for a complex simple Lie algebra g. Here O is the dense orbit in the…
Let U be the tautological subbundle on the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(k, n)$. There is a natural morphism $\mathrm{Tot}(U) \to \mathbb{A}^n$. Using it, we give a semiorthogonal decomposition for the bounded derived category…
