We derive explicit representation formulae of Green functions for GJMS operators on $n$-spheres, including the fractional ones. These formulae have natural geometric interpretations concerning the extrinsic geometry of the round sphere.…

We provide an explicit formula for all primary genus-zero $r$-spin invariants. Our formula is piecewise polynomial in the monodromies at each marked point and in $r$. To deduce the structure of these invariants, we use a tropical…

Gross and Zagier proved a formula for the absolute norm N(j(\alpha_1) - j(\alpha_2)) of a difference of singular values of the modular function j. We formulate and prove the analogues of their result for a number of functions of level 2 and…

A theorem of Manin and Drinfeld states that any divisor of degree $0$ on the cusps of a modular curve is torsion in the Jacobian. An elegant proof of this result was provided by Elkik using mixed Hodge theory. Rohrlich proved a…

Using a geometric approach involving Riemann surface orbifolds, we provide lower bounds for the genus of an irreducible algebraic curve of the form $E_{A,B}:\, A(x)-B(y)=0$, where $A, B\in\mathbb C(z)$. We also investigate "series" of…

We derive explicit universal equations for primary Gromov-Witten invariants by applying Getzler's genus one relation to quantum powers of Euler vector field. As an application, we provide some evidences for the genus-1 Virasoro conjecture.

We give a very simple proof of the positivity and unimodality of the Green function for the killed fractional Laplacian on the periodic domain. The argument relies on the Jacobi triple product and a probabilistic representation of the Green…

We study algebraic cycles on complex Gushel-Mukai (GM) varieties. We prove the generalised Hodge conjecture, the (motivated) Mumford-Tate conjecture, and the generalised Tate conjecture for all GM varieties. We compute all integral Chow…

We prove two conjectures of Shareshian and Wachs about Eulerian quasisymmetric functions and polynomials. The first states that the cycle type Eulerian quasisymmetric function $Q_{\lambda,j}$ is Schur-positive, and moreover that the…

In this short note we apply a recent theorem of Koll\'ar about the arithmetic genus of curves to give a bound on the number of joints weighted by the multiplicities. This gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Carbery in the generic…

We prove that Heegner cycles of codimension m+1 inside Kuga-Sato type varieties of dimension 2m+1 are coefficients of modular forms of weight 3/2+m in the appropriate quotient group. The main technical tool for generating the necessary…

We study the injectivity property of certain actions of higher Chow groups on refined unramified cohomology. As an application for every $p\geq1$ and for each $d\geq p+4$ and $n\geq2,$ we establish the first examples of smooth complex…

This is a short addendum to a note of Beauville on the subject of the title. We prove an inequality that takes into account the constant part of the Jacobian.

We provide a new, elementary proof of the multiplicative independence of pairwise distinct $\mathrm{GL}_2^+(\mathbb{Q})$-translates of the modular $j$-function, a result due originally to Pila and Tsimerman. We are thereby able to…

Under certain assumptions, we prove an anticyclotomic analogue of the "weak main conjecture" \`a la Mazur and Tate for modular forms over a large class of cyclic ring class extensions.

The Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture is a generalization of Green's Conjecture on syzygies of canonical curves to the cases of arbitrary line bundles. We establish the Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture for curves of genus g in all the…

We develop a theory of \emph{reduced} Gromov-Witten and stable pair invariants of surfaces and their canonical bundles. We show that classical Severi degrees are special cases of these invariants. This proves a special case of the MNOP…

Assuming a modular version of Schanuel's conjecture and the modular Zilber-Pink conjecture, we show that the existence of generic solutions of certain families of equations involving the modular $j$ function can be reduced to the problem of…

We use Euler systems to prove the Gras conjecture for groups generated by Stark units in global function fields. The techniques applied here are classical and go back to Thaine, Kolyvagin and Rubin. We obtain our Euler systems from the…

This is the write-up of a talk given in honour of Prof. Ihara's 80th Birthday conference in Kyoto in 2018. After briefly reviewing the work of Ihara on the projective line minus 3 points, I outline the main ideas in the proof of the…
