Let P be a selfadjoint elliptic operator of order m>0 acting on the sections of a Hermitian vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n. General arguments show that its zeta and eta functions may have poles only at…

Let $L_g$ be the subcritical GJMS operator on an even-dimensional compact manifold $(X, g)$ and consider the zeta-regularized trace $\mathrm{Tr}_\zeta(L_g^{-1})$ of its inverse. We show that if $\ker L_g = 0$, then the supremum of this…

This paper is a continuation of our work on theta and zeta functions In the previous papers we considered the case of even dimensional rank one symmetric spaces of non-compact type. The present is concerned with the odd-dimensional case,…

Given n general points p_1, p_2,..., p_n in P^r, it is natural to ask when there exists a curve C \subset P^r, of degree d and genus g, passing through p_1, p_2,..., p_n. In this paper, we give a complete answer to this question for curves…

The connection zeta function of a finite abstract simplicial complex G is defined as zeta_L(s)=sum_x 1/lambda_x^s, where lambda_x are the eigenvalues of the connection Laplacian L defined by L(x,y)=1 if x and y intersect and 0 else. (I) As…

In this paper we study asymptotic directions in the tangent bundle of the moduli space ${\mathcal M}_g$ of curves of genus $g$, namely those tangent directions that are annihilated by the second fundamental form of the Torelli map. We give…

We study the dimension of loci of special line bundles on stable curves and for a fixed semistable multidegree. In case of total degree $d = g - 1$, we characterize when the effective locus gives a Theta divisor. In case of degree $g - 2$…

We prove that the positive-dimensional part of the torsion locus of the Ceresa normal function in $\mathcal{M}_g$ is not Zariski dense when $g\geq 3$. Moreover, it has only finitely many components with generic Mumford-Tate group equal to…

The Fourier coefficients $c_1(n)$ of the elliptic modular $j$-function are always even for $n \not\equiv 7 \pmod{8}$. In contrast, for $n \equiv 7 \pmod{8}$, it is conjectured that ``half" of the coefficients take odd values. In this…

We study theta characteristics of hyperelliptic metric graphs of genus $g$ with no bridge edges. These graphs have a harmonic morphism of degree two to a metric tree that can be lifted to morphism of degree two of a hyperelliptic curve $X$…

We will show that for $\alpha>0$ there is $n_0$ such that if $G$ is a graph on $n\geq n_0$ vertices such that $\alpha n< \delta(G)< (n-1)/2$, then for every $n_1+n_2+\cdots +n_l= \delta(G)$, $G$ contains a disjoint union of…

Let $X$ be an irreducible singular Riemann surface, with desingularisation $\widetilde X$. The generalised Jacobian $J(X)$ of $X$ fibers over the Jacobian $J(\widetilde{X})$ of $\widetilde X$, and there is an Abel map $A$ of $\widetilde X$…

A complex vector space $V$ is a prehomogeneous $G$-module if $G$ acts rationally on $V$ with a Zariski-open orbit. The module is called etale if $\dim V=\dim G$. We study etale modules for reductive algebraic groups $G$ with one-dimensional…

We prove that the fourth powers of theta functions with even characteristics form a basis of the space of even theta functions of order four on a principally polarized Abelian variety without vanishing theta-null.

We show that, if a simple $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ is topologically finite-dimensional in a suitable sense, then not only $K_{0}(A)$ has certain good properties, but $A$ is even accessible to Elliott's classification program. More precisely, we…

We prove the existence of a projective good moduli space of principal $\mathcal{G}$-bundles under nonconnected reductive group schemes $\mathcal{G}$ over a smooth projective curve $C$. We also prove that the moduli stack of…

We produce a lower bound for the dimension of the base locus of the generalized theta divisor on the moduli space SU_C(r) of semistable vector bundles of rank r and trivial determinant on a smooth curve C of genus g > 1.

For the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}_{g,n/\mathbb{F}_p}$ of smooth curves over $\text{Spec}~\mathbb{F}_p$ with the function field $K$, we show that if $g\geq3$, then the only $K$-rational points of the generic curve over $K$ are its $n$…

For a divisor representing a function and another divisor representing a differential form on a normal surface singularity, there is a notion of motivic and topological zeta function. In this paper, given a finite morphism between two…

We define and study the stack ${\mathcal U}^{ns,a}_{g,g}$ of (possibly singular) projective curves of arithmetic genus g with g smooth marked points forming an ample non-special divisor. We define an explicit closed embedding of a natural…
