The arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture of the third author connects the derivative of an orbital integral on a symmetric space with an intersection number on a formal moduli space of $p$-divisible groups of Picard type. It arises in…

For $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, the question of when $R(A) = \{a/a' : a, a' \in A\}$ is dense in the positive real numbers $\mathbb{R}_+$ has been examined by many authors over the years. In contrast, the $p$-adic setting is largely…

We prove a variant of Oesterl\'e's conjecture about $p$-adic periods of the modular curve $X_0(p)$, with an additional $\Gamma(2)$-structure. We use de Shalit's techniques and $p$-adic uniformization of curves whose reduction is…

We explore Tate-type conjectures over $p$-adic fields. We study a conjecture of Raskind that predicts the surjectivity of $$ ({\rm NS}(X_{\bar{K}}) \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}}\mathbb{Q}_p)^{G_K} \longrightarrow H^2_{\rm…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective algebraic variety over a number field $k$ and $P$ in $X(k)$. In 2007, the second author conjectured that, in a precise sense, if rational points on $X$ are dense enough, then the best rational approximations…

We investigate generalizations along the lines of the Mordell--Lang conjecture of the author's $p$-adic formal Manin--Mumford results for $n$-dimensional $p$-divisible formal groups $\mathcal{F}$. In particular, given a finitely generated…

We discuss the connection between the smooth and metric structure on quotient spaces, prove smoothness of isometries in special cases and discuss an application to a conjecture of Molino.

We introduce a new variant of the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture designed to tackle coarsely disconnected metric spaces called the boundary coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. We prove this conjecture for many coarsely disconnected spaces that…

By means of the theory of strongly semistable sheaves and of the theory of the Greenberg transform, we generalize to higher dimensions a result on the sparsity of p-divisible unramified liftings which played a crucial role in Raynaud's…

In this article, we introduce infinitesimal cohomology for rigid analytic spaces that are not necessarily smooth, with coefficients in a p-adic field or Fontaine's de Rham period ring.

We propose an axiomatic approach towards studying unlikely intersections by introducing the framework of distinguished categories. This includes commutative algebraic groups and mixed Shimura varieties. It allows us to define all basic…

The closed-universe recollapse conjecture is studied for the spherically symmetric spacetimes. It is proven that there exists an upper bound to the lengths of timelike curves in any Tolman spacetime that possesses $S^3$ Cauchy surfaces and…

We establish a valuative version of Grothendieck's section conjecture for curves over p-adic local fields. The image of every section is contained in the decomposition subgroup of a valuation which prolongs the p-adic valuation to the…

The toric fundamental group is the Tannaka dual of a category of vector bundles which become direct sums of line bundles on a finite \'etale cover. It is an extension of the \'etale fundamental group scheme by a projective limit of tori.…

We give a conjectural description for the kernel of the map assigning to each finite $\mathbb Z_p$-free $G\times\mathbb Z_p$-set its rational permutation module where G is a finite p-group. We prove that this conjecture is true when G is an…

We study lines on smooth cubic surfaces over the field of $p$-adic numbers, from a theoretical and computational point of view. Segre showed that the possible counts of such lines are $0,1,2,3,5,7,9,15$ or $27$. We show that each of these…

Based on Schoenberg conjecture \textit{[Amer. Math. Monthly., 1986]}/Malamud-Pereira theorem \textit{[J. Math. Anal. Appl, 2003]}, \textit{[Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 2005]} we formulate the following conjecture which we call C*-algebraic…

We give an alternative proof of Faltings's theorem (Mordell's conjecture): a curve of genus at least two over a number field has finitely many rational points. Our argument utilizes the set-up of Faltings's original proof, but is in spirit…

We give a proof of the $p$-adic weight monodromy conjecture for scheme-theoretic complete intersections in projective smooth toric varieties. The strategy is based on Scholze's proof in the $\ell$-adic setting, which we adapt using…

We give a novel and effective criterion for algebraicity of rational normal analytic surfaces constructed from resolving the singularity of an irreducible curve-germ on $CP^2$ and contracting the strict transform of a given line and all but…
