Let $p$ be an odd prime number and let $X_0^+(p)$ be the quotient of the classical modular curve $X_0(p)$ by the action of the Atkin-Lehner operator $w_p$. In this paper we show how to compute explicit equations for the canonical model of…

We show that for any finite $p$-group $P$ of rank at least 2 and any algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$ the graded center $Z^*(\modbar(kP))$ of the stable module category of finite-dimensional $kP$-modules has infinite…

A curve X over the field Q of rational numbers is modular if it is dominated by X_1(N) for some N; if in addition the image of its jacobian in J_1(N) is contained in the new subvariety of J_1(N), then X is called a new modular curve. We…

We show that for arithmetic weights with a fixed finite order character, the slopes of $U_p$ (for $p=2$) acting on overconvergent Hilbert modular forms of level $U_0(4)$ are independent of the (algebraic part of the) weight and can be…

We prove an analogue of the Madsen-Weiss theorem for high dimensional manifolds. For example, we explicitly describe the ring of characteristic classes of smooth fibre bundles whose fibres are connected sums of g copies of S^n x S^n, in the…

We study the moduli space of metric graphs that arise from tropical plane curves. There are far fewer such graphs than tropicalizations of classical plane curves. For fixed genus $g$, our moduli space is a stacky fan whose cones are indexed…

Using half-integral weight modular forms we give a criterion for the existence of real quadratic $p$-rational fields. For $p=5$ we prove the existence of infinitely many real quadratic $p$-rational fields.

Given an elliptic curve $E$ defined over the rational numbers and a prime $p$ at which $E$ has good reduction, we consider the Galois deformation ring parametrizing lifts of the residual representation on the $p$-torsion group $E[p]$. For a…

Given a natural number $m$ and a log smooth integral morphism $X\to S$ of fine log schemes of characteristic $p>0$ with a lifting of its Frobenius pull-back $X'\to S$ modulo $p^{2}$, we use indexed algebras ${\cal A}_{X}^{gp}$, ${\cal…

We show that for primes $N, p \geq 5$ with $N \equiv -1 \bmod p$, the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(N^{1/p})$ is divisible by $p$. Our methods are via congruences between Eisenstein series and cusp forms. In particular, we show that when $N…

We give a geometric perspective on the algebra of Drinfeld modular forms for congruence subgroups $\Gamma\leq \GL_2(\bbF_q[T]).$ In particular, we describe an isomorphism between the section ring of a line bundle on the stacky modular curve…

Using the modularity technique of Wiles, we study the Hecke algebra of weight 2 and prime level N localized at the Eisenstein primes. On the way, we recover some results of Mazur ("Modular Curves and the Eisenstein Ideal") from a…

This paper is a continuation of our previous works (see Mui\'c in Monatsh. Math. 180, no. 3, 607--629, (2016)) and (Mui\'c, Kodrnja in Ramanujan J. 55, no. 2, 393--420, (2021)) where we have studied maps from $X_0(N)$ into $\mathbb P^2$…

We describe the Alexander modules and Alexander polynomials (both over $\Q$ and over finite fields $\FF{p}$) of generalized trigonal curves. The rational case is closed completely; in the case of characteristic $p>0$, a few points remain…

Expository paper discussing AG or Goppa codes arising from curves, first from an abstract general perspective then turning to concrete examples associated to modular curves. We will try to explain these extremely technical ideas using a…

After a short exposition of the basic properties of the tautological ring of the moduli space of genus g Deligne-Mumford stable curves with n markings, we explain three methods of detecting non-tautological classes in cohomology. The first…

We start with a curve over an algebraically closed ground field of positive characteristic $p>0$. By using specialization techniques, under suitable natural coprimality conditions, we prove a cohomological Simpson Correspondence between the…

We characterize all logarithmic, holomorphic vector-valued modular forms which can be analytically continued to a region strictly larger than the upper half-plane.

We consider logarithmic vector- and matrix-valued modular forms of integral weight $k$ associated with a $p$-dimensional representation $\rho: SL_2(\mathbb{Z}) \to GL_p(\mathbb{C})$ of the modular group, subject only to the condition that…

Let $K$ be an absolutely unramified $p$-adic field. We establish a ramification bound, depending only on the given prime $p$ and an integer $i$, for mod $p$ Galois representations associated with Wach modules of height at most $i$. Using an…
