Based on our previous work on an arithmetic analogue of Christol's theorem, this paper studies in more detail the structure of the lambda-ring $E_K = K \otimes W_{O_K}^a (O_{\bar{K}})$ of algebraic Witt vectors for number fields $K$. First…

We study finite orbits for non-elementary groups of automorphisms of compact projective surfaces. In particular we prove that if the surface and the group are defined over a number field k and the group contains parabolic elements, then the…

We study Z-actions on unital simple separable stably finite C*-algebras of finite nuclear dimension. Assuming that the extreme boundary of the trace space is compact and finite dimensional, and that the induced action on the trace space is…

In this paper, we first study the lifting problem of Hasse-Schmidt derivations and then apply the results to the theory of locally trivial deformations of algebraic schemes in positive characteristic. As an application, we construct an…

We prove a general categorical theorem that enables us to state that under certain conditions, the range of a functor is large. As an application, we prove various results of which the following is a prototype: If every diagram, indexed by…

We prove that every globally $F$-split surface admits an equisingular lifting over the ring of Witt vectors.

We study a certain theta lift which maps weight $-2k$ to weight $1/2-k$ harmonic weak Maass forms for $k \in \mathbb{Z}, k \geq 0$, and which is closely related to the classical Shintani lift from weight $2k+2$ to weight $k+3/2$ cusp forms.…

In this article we study the following problem: given a chain complex $A_*$ of free $\mathbb{Z}G$-modules, when is $A_*$ isomorphic to the cellular chain complex of some simply connected $G$-CW-complex? Such a chain complex is called…

The quantisation of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a circle is discussed in the case of $SU(N)$ at level $k$. The quantum commutation of the chiral vertex operators is described by an exchange relation with a braiding matrix, $Q$. Using…

We exhibit a finite set of local moves that connect any two surgery presentations of the same 3-manifold via framed links in the three-sphere. The moves are handle-slides and blow-downs/ups of a particular simple kind.

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, $W$ the ring of Witt vectors over $k$ and ${R}$ the integral closure of $W$ in the algebraic closure ${\bar{K}}$ of $K:=Frac(W)$; let moreover $X$ be a smooth, connected and…

The classical theta correspondence, based on the Weil representation, allows one to lift automorphic representations on symplectic groups or their double covers to automorphic representations on special orthogonal groups. It is of interest…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the exponentiation of finite-dimensional real Lie algebras of linear operators on complete Hausdorff locally convex spaces are obtained, focused on the equicontinuous case - in particular, necessary…

In the literature, two main approaches have been used to establish explicit formulas or propagation formulas for Whittaker functions over Archimedean local fields: one based on Jacquet integrals, and the other on the analysis of systems of…

Motivated by the weight part of Serre's conjecture we consider the following question. Let $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ be a finite extension and suppose $\overline{\rho} \colon G_K \rightarrow \operatorname{GL}_n(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p)$ admits a…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be proper birational varieties, say with only rational double points over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic. If $X$ lifts to $W_n(k)$, is it true that $Y$ has the same lifting property? This is true for smooth…

A necessary and sufficient condition for local solvability is presented for the linear partial differential operators $-X^2-Y^2+ia(x)[X,Y]$ in $\bold R^3=\{(x,y,t)\}$, where $X=\partial_x,\; Y=\partial_y+x^k\partial_t$, and $a\in…

A Redheffer type description of the set of all contractive solutions to the relaxed commutant lifting problem is given. The description involves a set of Schur class functions which is obtained by combining the method of isometric coupling…
