We introduce moduli spaces of abelian varieties which are arithmetic models of Shimura varieties attached to unitary groups of signature (n-1, 1). We define arithmetic cycles on these models and study their intersection behaviour. In…
The theory of limiting modular symbols provides a noncommutative geometric model of the boundary of modular curves that includes irrational points in addition to cusps. A noncommutative space associated to this boundary is constructed, as…
We consider Kobayashi geodesics in the moduli space of abelian varieties A_g that is, algebraic curves that are totally geodesic submanifolds for the Kobayashi metric. We show that Kobayashi geodesics can be characterized as those curves…
This is an overview of recent results aimed at developing a geometry of noncommutative tori with real multiplication, with the purpose of providing a parallel, for real quadratic fields, of the classical theory of elliptic curves with…
In this work, we propose to study noncommutative geometry using the language of categories of sheaves of algebras with polynomial identities and their properties, introducing new (graded) noncommutative geometries. These include, for…
We use non-commutative geometry to study the bulk of finite dimensional representations of the modular group SL(2,Z). We give specific 2n-parameter families of 6n-dimensional representations obtained from the quotient singularity C^2/Z_6.
We survey some aspects of the theory of noncommutative manifolds focusing on the noncommutative analogs of two-dimensional tori and low-dimensional spheres. We are particularly interested in those aspects of the theory that link the…
We are looking for a formulation of Manin's real multiplication question in higher rank. This question comports, in our point of view, at least two steps: 1. a formalisation of the linear algebra side of the story in terms of morphisms of…
A general question behind this paper is to explore a good notion for intrinsic curvature in the framework of noncommutative geometry started by Alain Connes in the 80s. It has only recently begun (2014) to be comprehended via the intensive…
Let O be a maximal order in a totally indefinite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field. In this note we study the locus Q_O of quaternionic multiplication by O in the moduli space A_g of principally polarized abelian varieties…
This paper gives a complete parametrization of the commensurability classes of totally geodesic subspaces of irreducible arithmetic quotients of $X_{a, b} = (\mathbf{H}^2)^a \times (\mathbf{H}^3)^b$. A special case describes all Shimura…
Shimura curves are moduli spaces of abelian surfaces with quaternion multiplication. Models of Shimura curves are very important in number theory. Klein's icosahedral invariants $\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{B}$ and $\mathfrak{C}$ give the…
We suggest to compactify the universal covering of the moduli space of complex structures by non-commutative spaces. The latter are described by certain categories of sheaves with connections which are flat along foliations. In the case of…
The Kodaira dimension of Shimura varieties has been studied by many people. Kondo and Gritsenko-Hulek-Sankaran studied the singularities of orthogonal Shimura varieties related to the moduli spaces of polarized K3 surfaces. They proved that…
In a recent paper Chiodo and Farkas described the singular locus and the locus of non-canonical singularities of the moduli space of level curves. In this work we generalize their results to the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal R}_{g,G}$ of…
In a series of recent papers, Chiodo, Farkas and Ludwig carry out a deep analysis of the singular locus of the moduli space of stable (twisted) curves with an $\ell$-torsion line bundle. They show that for $\ell\leq 6$ and $\ell\neq 5$…
We study $p$-adic integral models of certain PEL Shimura varieties with level subgroup at $p$ related to the $\Gamma_1(p)$-level subgroup in the case of modular curves. We will consider two cases: the case of Shimura varieties associated…
For any finite abelian group G, we study the moduli space of abelian $G$-covers of elliptic curves, in particular identifying the irreducible components of the moduli space. We prove that, in the totally ramified case, the moduli space has…
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…
Modular curves like X_0(N) and X_1(N) appear very frequently in arithmetic geometry. While their complex points are obtained as a quotient of the upper half plane by some subgroups of SL_2(Z), they allow for a more arithmetic description as…
