For a reductive group $G$, Harder-Narasimhan theory gives a structure theorem for principal $G$ bundles on a smooth projective curve $C$. A bundle is either semistable, or it admits a canonical parabolic reduction whose associated Levi…

To a smooth and proper morphism $\mathcal{X}\to U$ with quasicompact semiseparated target we associate a sheaf in the \'etale topology, which takes an affine $U$-scheme $V$ to the set of $V$-linear semiorthogonal decompositions (of fixed…

We prove a fixed point theorem for the action of certain local monodromy groups on \'etale covers and use it to deduce lower bounds in essential dimension. In particular, we give more geometric proofs of many (but not all) of the results of…

We describe various equivalent ways of associating to an orbifold, or more generally a higher \'etale differentiable stack, a weak homotopy type. Some of these ways extend to arbitrary higher stacks on the site of smooth manifolds, and we…

The introduction is modified in the revised version. Also, many typos and errors were corrected. Let $W\to C$ be degeneration of smooth varieties so that the special fiber has normal crossing singularity. In this paper, we first constructed…

In this paper, we provide a classification of certain points on Hilbert modular varieties over finite fields under a mild assumption on Newton polygon. Furthermore, we use this characterization to prove estimates for the size of isogeny…

When $p$ is inert in the quadratic imaginary field $E$ and $m<n$, unitary Shimura varieties of signature $(n,m)$ and a hyperspecial level subgroup at $p$, carry a natural foliation of height 1 and rank $m^2$ in the tangent bundle of their…

Motivated by the desire to understand the geometry of the basic loci in the reduction of Shimura varieties, we study their "group-theoretic models" -- generalized affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties -- in cases where they have a particularly…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semisimple complex Lie algebra, and let $W$ be a finite subgroup of $\mathbb{C}$-algebra automorphisms of the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{g})$. We show that the derived category of $U(\mathfrak{g})^W$-modules…

We give several generalisations of the Deuring reduction criterion for elliptic curves to abelian varieties of higher dimension. In particular the Newton polygon of the reduction of an abelian variety A with complex multiplication by F at a…

We prove that under some conditions on the monodromy, families of abelian covers of the projective line do not give rise to (higher dimensional) Shimura subvarieties in $A_g$. This is achieved by a reduction to $p$ argument. We also use…

A subvariety of a quasi-projective complex variety $X$ is called ``universally irreducible'' if its preimage inside the universal cover of $X$ is irreducible. In this paper we investigate sufficient conditions for universal irreducibility.…

Kisin and Pappas constructed integral models of Hodge-type Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure at $p>2$, such that the formal neighbourhood of a mod~$p$ point can be interpreted as a deformation space of $p$-divisible group…

Let p be an odd prime and g an integer greater or equal to 2. We prove that a finite slope Siegel cuspidal eigenform of genus g can be p-adically deformed over the g-dimensional weight space. The proof of this result relies on the…

This is a largely expository article based on our previous work on arithmetic diagonal cycles on unitary Shimura varieties. We define a class of Shimura varieties closely related to unitary groups which represent a moduli problem of abelian…

We decompose each moduli space of semistable sheaves on the complex projective plane with support of dimension one and degree four into locally closed subvarieties, each subvariety being the good or geometric quotient of a set of morphisms…

We prove an analogue for Hodge modules of Pink's theorem on the degeneration of l-adic sheaves (Math. Ann. 292). Let j be the open immersion of a Shimura variety M into its Baily-Borel compactification. Its boundary has a natural…

In this paper, we study moduli spaces of low dimensional complex Lie superalgebras. We discover a similar pattern for the structure of these moduli spaces as we observed for ordinary Lie algebras, namely, that there is a stratification of…

In this paper we study the geometry of reduction modulo $p$ of the Kisin-Pappas integral models for certain Shimura varieties of abelian type with parahoric level structure. We give some direct and geometric constructions for the EKOR…

Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus g > 0 equipped with a nonzero holomorphic 1-form. Let M denote the moduli space of semistable Higgs bundles on X of rank r and degree r(g-1)+1; it is a complex symplectic manifold. Using…
