We consider certain q-series depending on parameters (A,B,C), where A is a positive definite r times r matrix, B is an r-vector and C is a scalar, and ask when these q-series are modular forms. Werner Nahm conjectured a criterion for which…
For the M\"obius spheres $S^{q,p}$, we give alternative elementary proofs of the recursive formulas for GJMS-operators and $Q$-curvatures due to the first author [Geom. Funct. Anal. 23, (2013), 1278-1370; arXiv:1108.0273]. These proofs make…
The main purpose of this paper is to modify the orbit method for the Baum-Connes conjecture as developed by Chabert, Echterhoff and Nest in their proof of the Connes-Kasparov conjecture for almost connected groups \cite{MR2010742} in order…
The Shimura-Taniyama conjecture states that the Mellin transform of the Hasse-Weil L-function of any elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers is a modular form. Recent work of Wiles, Taylor-Wiles and Breuil-Conrad-Diamond-Taylor has…
We construct isotrivial and non-isotrivial elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ with an arbitrarily large set of separable integral points. As an application of this construction, we prove that there are isotrivial log-general type…
Let $K$ be a local function field of characteristic $l$, $\mathbb{F}$ be a finite field over $\mathbb{F}_p$ where $l \ne p$, and $\overline{\rho}: G_K \rightarrow \text{GL}_n (\mathbb{F})$ be a continuous representation. We apply the…
Clemm and Trebat-Leder (2014) proved that the number of quadratic number fields with absolute discriminant bounded by $x$ over which there exist elliptic curves with good reduction everywhere and rational $j$-invariant is $\gg…
We establish the exact overlaps conjecture for iterated functions systems on the real line with algebraic contractions and arbitrary translations.
A well-known conjecture of Gross and Zagier states that the values of the higher automorphic Green's function at pairs of points with complex multiplication in the upper half-plane are proportional to the logarithm of an algebraic number.…
In analogy with the Manin-Mumford conjecture for algebraic curves, one may ask how a metric graph under the Abel-Jacobi embedding intersects torsion points of its Jacobian. We show that the number of torsion points is finite for metric…
Let \( p \geq 5 \) be a prime. In 2003 Conrad, Edixhoven, and Stein conjectured that the rational torsion subgroup of the modular Jacobian \( J_1(p) \) coincides with the rational cuspidal divisor class group. Using explicit computations in…
In recent years a series of remarkable advances in tropical geometry and in non-archimedean geometry have brought new insights to the moduli theory of algebraic curves and their Jacobians. The goal of this survey, an expanded version of my…
We show that an earlier conjecture of the author, on diophantine approximation of rational points on varieties, implies the ``abc conjecture'' of Masser and Oesterl'e. In fact, a weak form of the former conjecture is sufficient, involving…
This work is motivated by two central questions in the birational geometry of moduli spaces of curves -- Fulton's conjecture and the effective cone of $\bar M_g$. We study the algebro-geometric aspect of Teichmuller curves parameterizing…
Applying the theory of elliptic functions we establish two Jacobi theta function identities. From these identities we confirm two q-trigonometric identities conjectured by Gosper. As an application, we give a new and simple proof of a…
We formulate a conjecture predicting unexpected relationships among the coefficients of the elliptic expansions of Klein's modular j-function around j = 0 and j = 1728. Our conjecture is inspired by recent developments in mirror symmetry,…
We relate Fourier transforms between compactified Jacobians over the moduli space of stable curves to logarithmic Abel-Jacobi theory. As an application, we compute the pushforward of divisor monomials on compactified Jacobians in terms of…
It has been a long-standing problem to find an adequate definition of a Clifford index for higher rank vector bundles on curves, which should capture the complexity of the curve in its moduli space. An interesting proposal in rank 2 has…
In this paper, we study some typical arithmetic properties of Euler's totient function of polynomials over finite fields. Especially, we study polynomial analogues of some classical conjectures about Euler's totient function, such as…
We prove many cases of a conjecture of Buzzard, Diamond and Jarvis on the possible weights of mod $p$ Hilbert modular forms, by making use of modularity lifting theorems and computations in $p$-adic Hodge theory.
