In this note we prove that for every integer $d \geq 1$, there exists an explicit constant $B_d$ such that the following holds. Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d$, let $q > \max\{d-1,5\}$ be any rational prime that is totally inert in…

We prove, under mild hypotheses, that there are no irreducible two-dimensional_even_ Galois representations of $\Gal(\Qbar/\Q)$ which are de Rham with distinct Hodge--Tate weights. This removes the "ordinary" hypothesis required in previous…

This paper gives an expository account of our experiments concerning relations between modular forms for congruence subgroups of SL(3,Z) and three dimensional Galois representations. The main new result presented here is a calculation of…

For a newform $f=\sum a_n q^n$ of weight $k \geq 3$ and a prime $\lambda$ of $\mathbf{Q}(a_n)$, the deformation problem for its associated mod $\lambda$ Galois representation is unobstructed for all primes outside some finite set. Previous…

We prove a new rigidity criterion for families of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. Motivated by known non-rigid examples, we conjecture that a family over a quasi-projective curve is rigid if it admits a smooth compactification whose…

In this note we consider the motivic aspect of the middle cohomology of more than 200 classes of quasi-smooth Calabi--Yau threefolds inside weighted projective 4-space which come with an action of a cyclic group of even order. The action…

We consider two K3 surfaces defined over an arbitrary field, together with a smooth proper moduli space of stable sheaves on each. When the moduli spaces have the same dimension, we prove that if the \'etale cohomology groups (with Q_ell…

This paper presents the current status on modularity of Calabi-Yau varieties since the last update in 2003. We will focus on Calabi-Yau varieties of dimension at most three. Here modularity refers to at least two different types: arithmetic…

We consider the family of irreducible crystalline representations of dimension $2$ of ${\rm Gal}(\overline{\bf Q}_p/{\bf Q}_p)$ given by the $V_{k,a_p}$ for a fixed weight integer $k\geq 2$. We study the locus of the parameter $a_p$ where…

Let $X$ be a cubic fourfold in $P^5_{C}$. We prove that, assuming the Hodge conjecture for the product $S \times S$, where $S$ is a complex surface, and the finite dimensionality of the Chow motive $h(S)$, there are at most a countable…

In this paper we study deformations of mod $p$ Galois representations $\tau$ (over an imaginary quadratic field $F$) of dimension $2$ whose semi-simplification is the direct sum of two characters $\tau_1$ and $\tau_2$. As opposed to our…

We prove that the cohomology class of any curve on a very general principally polarized abelian variety of dimension at least 4 is an even multiple of the minimal class. The same holds for the intermediate Jacobian of a very general cubic…

This version improves the old version entitled "On the modularity of elliptic curves with a residually irreducible representation". Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over an abelian totally real field $K$ unramified at 3,5, and 7. We prove that…

We describe deformations of the noncompact Calabi-Yau threefolds $W_k = \mbox{Tot}(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(-k) \oplus \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1}(k-2))$ for $k=1,2,3$, as well as their moduli of holomorphic vector bundles of rank $2$.…

Using $p$-adic local Langlands correspondence for $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_2)$ and an ordinary $R = \mathbb{T}$ theorem, we prove that the support of patched modules for quaternionic forms meet every irreducible component of the…

Starting from the K\"ahler moduli space of the rigid orbifold Z=E^3/\mathbb{Z}_3 one would expect for the cohomology of the generalized mirror to be a Hodge structure of Calabi-Yau type (1,9,9,1). We show that such a structure arises in a…

In this paper we show that two dimensional (mod p) Galois representations satisfying mild hypotheses can be lifted to p-adic Galois representations ramified at infinitely many primes such that the characteristic polynomials of Frobenius at…

We show that loci of crystalline representations of $G_K$ for $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$ an unramified extension are irreducible when the Hodge--Tate weights are fixed and sufficiently small. This was previously known for weights in the interval…

The aim of this paper is to analyze some geometric properties of the rigid Calabi--Yau threefold $\mathcal{Z}$ obtained by a quotient of $E^3$, where $E$ is a specific elliptic curve. We describe the cohomology of $\mathcal{Z}$ and give a…

We study moduli stabilization in Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications of type IIB string theory with O3- and O7-planes. We consider a Calabi-Yau three-fold with Hodge number $h^{2,1}=50$ and stabilize all axio-dilaton and…
