We give an application of Mumford's theory of canonical theta characteristics to a Diophantine problem in characteristic two. We prove that a smooth plane curve over a global field of characteristic two is defined by the determinant of a…

We show recurrent phenomena for orbits of groups of local complex analytic diffeomorphisms that have a certain subgroup or image by a morphism of groups that is non-virtually solvable. In particular we prove that a non-virtually solvable…

We prove a fixed point theorem for the action of certain local monodromy groups on \'etale covers and use it to deduce lower bounds in essential dimension. In particular, we give more geometric proofs of many (but not all) of the results of…

We show that much of local class theory can be deduced from the Dieudonn\'e-Manin structure theory for $F$-isocrystals on an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. As a consequence we get a new proof of a formula of Dwork for…

Following the work of Harris and Kudla we prove a more general form of a conjecture of Jacquet relating the non-vanishing of a certain period integral to non-vanishing of the central critical value of a certain $L$-function. As a…

In this paper, we prove a similar result to the fundamental theorem of regular surfaces in classical differential geometry, which extends the classical theorem to the entire class of singular surfaces in Euclidean 3-space known as frontals.…

We prove a geometric local constancy theorem for affine Springer fibers in families of close local fields. Consequently, stable orbital integrals are locally constant in these families, and both the base change fundamental lemma and the…

We show how the modular representation theory of inner forms of general linear groups over a non-Archimedean local field can be brought to bear on the complex theory in a remarkable way. Let F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field of…

Locally conformal symplectic (l.c.s.) groupoids are introduced as a generalization of symplectic groupoids. We obtain some examples and we prove that l.c.s. groupoids are examples of Jacobi groupoids in the sense of \cite{IM}. Finally, we…

We give cases in which nearby cycles commutes with pushforward from sheaves on the moduli stack of shtukas to a product of curves over a finite field. The proof systematically uses the property that taking nearby cycles of Satake sheaves on…

In this paper, we explain a simple and uniform construction of a smooth integral model associated to a quadratic, (anti)-hermitian, and (anti)-quaternionic hermitian lattice defined over an arbitrary local field. As one major application,…

We suggest a geometrical approach to the semi-invariants of quivers based on Luna's slice theorem and the Luna-Richardson theorem. The locally semi-simple representations are defined in this spirit but turn out to be connected with stable…

A recently proposed criterion for the existence of local quantum fields with a prescribed factorizing scattering matrix is verified in a non-trivial model, thereby establishing a new constructive approach to quantum field theory in a…

A group theory justification of one dimensional fractional supersymmetry is proposed using an analogue of a coset space, just like the one introduced in $1D$ supersymmetry. This theory is then gauged to obtain a local fractional…

In math.CO/0109093 the author obtained a formula for the value of an irreducible symmetric group character indexed by a partition of rectangular shape. In the present paper this formula is (conjecturally) generalized to arbitrary shapes.

We present a new sum rule for Clebsch-Gordan coefficients using generalized characters of irreducible representations of the rotation group. The identity is obtained from an integral involving Gegenbauer ultraspherical polynomials. A…

We prove Cherlin's conjecture, concerning binary primitive permutation groups, for those groups with socle isomorphic to a sporadic simple group.

We construct supercharacter theories of finite unipotent groups in the orthogonal, symplectic and unitary types. Our method utilizes group actions in a manner analogous to that of Diaconis and Isaacs in their construction of supercharacters…

A parametrization of irreducible unitary representations associated with the regular adjoint orbits of a hyperspecial compact subgroup of a reductive group over a non-dyadic non-archimedean local filed is presented. The parametrization is…

Based on previous results of Jiang, Nien and the third author, we prove that any two minimax unitarizable supercuspidals of GL_N that have the same depth and central character admit a special pair of Whittaker functions. This result gives a…
