Periodic geodesics on the modular surface correspond to periodic orbits of the geodesic flow in its unit tangent bundle $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. The complement of any finite number of orbits is a…

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…

In this paper we consider a special class of arithmetic quotients of bounded symmetric domains which can roughly be described as higher- dimensional analogues of the Hilbert modular varities. The algebraic groups are defined as the unitary…

Consider $ G:= PSL_2(\R)\equiv T^1\H^2$, a modular group $ \Gamma$, and the homogeneous space $ \Gamma\sm G \equiv T^1(\Gamma\sm\H^2)$. Endow $ G $, and then $ \Gamma\sm G $, with a canonical left-invariant metric, thereby equipping it with…

Arithmetic quotients are quotients of bounded symmetric domains by arithmetic groups, and modular subvarieties of arithmetic quotients are themselves arithmetic quotients of lower dimension which live on arithmetic quotients, by an…

We define the notion of a $G$-structure for elliptic curves, where $G$ is a finite 2-generated group. When $G$ is abelian, a $G$-structure is the same as a classical congruence level structure. There is a natural action of…

The paper proves that if a reductive group scheme acts properly on a scheme then the geometric quotient exists as an algebraic space. As a consequence we obtain the existence of the moduli spcace of canonically polarized varieties over Spec…

We compare the homology of a congruence subgroup Gamma of GL_2(Z) with coefficients in the Steinberg modules over Q and over E, where E is a real quadratic field. If R is any commutative base ring, the last connecting homomorphism…

A group $\Gamma$ with a family of subgroups $\mathbb{P}$ is relatively hyperbolic if $\Gamma$ admits a cusp-uniform action on a proper $\delta$--hyperbolic space. We show that any two such spaces for a given group pair are quasi-isometric,…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite-index subgroup of the mapping class group of a closed genus $g$ surface that contains the Torelli group. For instance, $\Gamma$ can be the level $L$ subgroup or the spin mapping class group. We show that…

A hyperbolic conjugacy class in the modular group PSL(2,Z) corresponds to a closed geodesic in the modular orbifold. Some of these geodesics virtually bound immersed surfaces, and some do not; the distinction is related to the polyhedral…

We introduce a natural way of associating oriented closed geodesics on the modular curve to elements of $(\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z})^\times$ and prove that the corresponding packets associated to sufficiently large subgroups equidistribute in…

We consider a (mathbb{Z}_2)-equivariant flow in (mathbb{R}^{4}) with an integral of motion and a hyperbolic equilibrium with a transverse homoclinic orbit (Gamma). We provide criteria for the existence of stable and unstable invariant…

In this article we give an analogue of Hecke and Sturm bounds for Hilbert modular forms over real quadratic fields. Let $K$ be a real quadratic field and $\Om_K$ its ring of integers. Let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of $\SL_2(\Om_K)$…

Let $\cl{M}$ be a Hilbert module of holomorphic functions over a natural function algebra $\mathcal{A}(\Omega)$, where $\Omega \subseteq \bb{C}^m$ is a bounded domain. Let $\cl{M}_0\subseteq \cl{M}$ be the submodule of functions vanishing…

Geometric Invariant Theory gives a method for constructing quotients for group actions on algebraic varieties which in many cases appear as moduli spaces parametrizing isomorphism classes of geometric objects (vector bundles, polarized…

Suppose G is a hyperbolic group whose boundary has topological dimension k. If the boundary is quasisymmetrically homeomorphic to an Ahlfors k-regular metric space, then, modulo a finite normal subgroup, G is isomorphic to a uniform lattice…

Suppose Gamma is an S-arithmetic subgroup of a connected, semisimple algebraic group G over a global field Q (of any characteristic). It is well known that Gamma acts by isometries on a certain CAT(0) metric space X_S that is a Cartesian…

The 'contracting boundary' of a proper geodesic metric space consists of equivalence classes of geodesic rays that behave like rays in a hyperbolic space. We introduce a geometrically relevant, quasi-isometry invariant topology on the…

We introduce complete quotients over the projective line and prove that they form smooth projective varieties. The resulting parameter spaces coincide with the varieties constructed in [HLS11] and [Shao11]. Hence they provide modular smooth…
