We describe explicitly the canonical map $\chi:$ Spec $\ue(\a{g})\ \rightarrow \ $Spec $\ze$, where $\ue(\a{g})$ is a quantum loop algebra at an odd root of unity $\ve$. Here $\ze$ is the center of $\ue(\a{g})$ and Spec $R$ stands for the…

We prove a number of results on the \'etale cohomology of rigid analytic varieties over $p$-adic non-archimedean local fields. Among other things, we establish bounds for Frobenius eigenvalues, show a strong version of Grothendieck's local…

Given a smooth projective variety $X$ over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, we consider the composition of the de Rham cohomology cycle class map over $k$ from the Chow group $CH^q(X\times_kK)$, where $K$ is the field of fractions of…

For a linear group $G$ acting on an absolutely irreducible variety $X$ over the rationals $\QQ$, we describe the orbits of $X(\QQ_p)$ under $G(\QQ_p)$ and of $X(\FF_p((t)))$ under $G(\FF_p((t)))$ for $p$ big enough. This allows us to show…

Let $K$ be a number field and $A/K$ be an abelian variety of dimension $g$. Assuming that the image $G_{\ell^\infty}$ of the natural Galois representation attached to the Tate module $T_\ell(A)$ is $\operatorname{GSp}_{2g}(\mathbb{Z}_\ell)$…

We show how the modular symmetries that have been found to be consistent with most available scaling data from quantum Hall systems, derive from a rigid family of algebraic curves of the elliptic type. The complicated special functions…

In this document we consider an exact sequence of group varieties $e\to N\to G\to Q\to e$ over an algebraically closed field. We show that for $l\neq \mathrm{char}(k)$ a prime there exists an isomorphism of graded $\mathbb{Q}_l$-algebras…

In a recent article, the coordinate ring of the nodal cubic was given the structure of a quantum homogeneous space. Here the corresponding coalgebra Galois extension is expressed in terms of quantum groups at roots of unity, and is shown to…

This paper contains a survey of some ring-theoretic aspects of quantized coordinate rings, with primary focus on the prime and primitive spectra. For these algebras, the overall structure of the prime spectrum is governed by a partition…

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus >1 over a field K which is finitely generated over the rationals. The section conjecture in Grothendieck's anabelian geometry says that the sections of the canonical projection from the arithmetic…

We introduce an invariant of a hyperbolic knot which is a map $\alpha\mapsto \boldsymbol{\Phi}_\alpha(h)$ from $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$ to matrices with entries in $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}[[h]]$ and with rows and columns indexed by the…

Motivated by classical Alexander invariants of affine hypersurface complements, we endow certain finite dimensional quotients of the homology of abelian covers of complex algebraic varieties with a canonical and functorial mixed Hodge…

Sunada's work on crystallography emphasizes the role of the "maximal abelian cover" of a graph $X$. This is a covering space of $X$ for which the group of deck transformations is the first homology group $H_1(X,\mathbb{Z})$. An embedding of…

Let $(X,o)$ be a complex normal surface singularity with rational homology sphere link and let $\widetilde{X}$ be one of its good resolutions. Fix an effective cycle $Z$ supported on the exceptional curve and also a possible Chern class…

Nonabelian Fradkin-Vasiliev cubic interactions for dual-graviton-like gauge fields with gravity and themselves are constructed in anti-de Sitter spacetime. The Young diagrams of gauge potentials have shapes of 'tall-hooks', i.e. two columns…

Given a point $\xi$ on a complex abelian variety $A$, its abelian logarithm can be expressed as a linear combination of the periods of $A$ with real coefficients, the Betti coordinates of $\xi$. When $(A, \xi)$ varies in an algebraic…

Let $A$ be a simple abelian variety of dimension $g$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with Frobenius endomorphism $\pi$. This paper describes the structure of the group of rational points $A(\mathbb{F}_{q^n})$, for all $n \geq 1$,…

For a wide variety of quantum potentials, including the textbook `instanton' examples of the periodic cosine and symmetric double-well potentials, the perturbative data coming from fluctuations about the vacuum saddle encodes all…

Let K be a an alternating prime knot in the 3-sphere. We investigate the category of flypes between reduced alternating diagrams for K. As a consequence, we show that any odd prime order action on K is isotopic through maps of pairs to a…
