We show that the compactly supported cohomology of certain $\mathrm{U}(n,n)$ or $\mathrm{Sp}(2n)$-Shimura varieties with $\Gamma_1(p^\infty)$-level vanishes above the middle degree. The only assumption is that we work over a CM field $F$ in…
We prove the existence of many non-trivial characteristic classes of smooth oriented bundles with fibre a product $ S^{n}\times S^{n} $ of odd-dimensional spheres. We do so by proving injectivity of the map from the ring of rational…
We study the moduli spaces which classify smooth surfaces along with a complex line bundle. There are homological stability and Madsen--Weiss type results for these spaces (mostly due to Cohen and Madsen), and we discuss the cohomological…
This paper studies the (small) quantum homology and cohomology of fibrations $p: P\to S^2$ whose structural group is the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of the fiber $(M,\om)$. It gives a proof that the rational cohomology splits…
In very rough terms, the main theorem is that the set, which consists of semistable vector bundles with trivial rational Chern classes and nontrivial kth cohomology on a smooth complex projective variety, is a degeneration of a union of…
We extend the group theoretic construction of local models of Pappas and Zhu to the case of groups obtained by Weil restriction along a possibly wildly ramified extension. This completes the construction of local models for all reductive…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let f:X-->S be a flat, projective morphism of k-schemes of finite type with integral geometric fibers. We prove existence of a projective relative moduli space for semistable…
We prove the Andre-Oort conjecture on special points of Shimura varieties for arbitrary products of modular curves, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. More explicitly, this means the following. Let n be a positive integer, and let…
We prove the congruence relation for the mod-p reduction of Shimura varieties associated to a unitary similitude group GU(n-1,1), when p is inert and n odd. When n is even, this result was obtained by T. Wedhorn and O. B\"ultel using the…
We give a purely algebraic construction of a cohomological field theory associated with a quasihomogeneous isolated hypersurface singularity W and a subgroup G of the diagonal group of symmetries of W. This theory can be viewed as an…
We construct integral models and special affinoids of suitable tubular neighborhoods of local Shimura varieties at depth-zero. We show that the reductions of the special affinoids over suitable tamely ramified extensions are realized as…
In this paper we show that Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer type of congruences hold for weakly modular forms (modular forms that are permitted to have poles at cusps). Unlike the case of original congruences for cusp forms, these congruences are…
For $n \geq 1$, the twistor space $\mathfrak{Z}(\mathbb{S}^{2n})$ of the conformal $2n$-sphere is biholomorphic to the Zariski closure, taken in the complex Grassmannian manifold $\mathbf{G}(n+1, 2n+2)$, of the set of graphs of…
Let D be a quaternion division algebra over a totally real number field F which splits exactly at one infinite place. We assume that there is a p-adic place where D doesn't split. Then the associated Shimura curve has a Cherednik…
We construct a family of special cycle classes on the regular integral model of an orthogonal Shimura variety, and show that these cycle classes appear as Fourier coefficients of a Siegel modular form. Passing to the generic fiber of the…
We study the special fiber of the integral models for Shimura varieties of Hodge type with parahoric level structure constructed by Kisin and Pappas in [KP]. We show that when the group is residually split, the points in the mod $p$ isogeny…
In this note, we study Shimura varieties for the groups $\mathrm{GU}(V)$, where $V$ is a Hermitian space relative to a CM extension $E/E^+$. We give a description of the supersingular locus of the fiber at a prime $\nu$ over $p$ of such a…
For any moduli space of stable representations of quivers, certain smooth varieties, compactifying projective space fibrations over the moduli space, are constructed. The boundary of this compactification is analyzed. Explicit formulas for…
We define a class of local Shimura varieties that contains some local Shimura varieties for exceptional groups, and for this class, we construct a functor from $\left(G, \mu\right)$-displays to $p$-divisible groups. As an application, we…
We introduce a new class of smooth correspondences between Nakajima quiver varieties called split parabolic quiver varieties, and study their properties. We use these correspondences to construct an explicit resolution of singularities of…
