In this paper we study a rather wide class of quasilinear parabolic problems with nonlinear boundary condition and nonstandard growth terms. It includes the important case of equations with a $p(t,x)$-Laplacian. By means of the localization…

We give an explicit weak solution to the Schottky problem, in the spirit of Riemann and Schottky. For any genus $g$, we write down a collection of polynomials in genus $g$ theta constants, such that their common zero locus contains the…

We give a proof of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture for $\mathcal{A}_g$ - the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties. In particular, we show that a recently proven `averaged' version of the Colmez conjecture yields lower bounds…

We study the obstruction degrees of translates of sub-tori of multiplicative tori and we show how they are connected to lower bounds for the essential minimum of these varieties. In particular, we combine our computations with results of A.…

Poonen and Slavov recently developed a novel approach to Bertini irreducibility theorems over an arbitrary field, based on random hyperplane slicing. In this paper, we extend their work by proving an analogous bound for the dimension of the…

We extend to the general codimension a lower bound for the essential minimum on abelian varieties found in a previous work, under a conjecture about ordinary primes in abelian varieties. This lower bound is the best expected, ``up to an…

We analyze tensors in the tensor product of three m-dimensional vector spaces satisfying Strassen's equations for border rank m. Results include: two purely geometric characterizations of the Coppersmith-Winograd tensor, a reduction to the…

Let $\mathcal{A}_g$ denote the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g \ge 3.$ In this paper we prove the connectedness of the singular sublocus of $\mathcal{A}_g$ consisting of those abelian varieties which…

We determine the class of the (closure of the) Schottky locus in genus 4 in the Igusa- and the Voronoi compactification of A_4 and comment on the weight 8 modular form which vanishes on it.

We determine the cone of nef divisors on the Voronoi compactification A_g^* of the moduli space A_g of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension g for genus g=2,3. As a corollary we obtain that the spaces A_g^*(n) with level-n…

We give a bound on the number of points of order two on the theta divisor of a principally polarized abelian variety A. When A is the Jacobian of a curve C the result can be applied in estimating the number of effective square roots of a…

We discuss the conjecture of Buchstaber and Krichever that their multi-dimensional vector addition formula for Baker-Akhiezer functions characterizes Jacobians among principally polarized abelian varieties, and prove that it is indeed a…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $\mathbb{Q}$, and let $\hat{h}$ be the N\'eron-Tate height on $A(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$ corresponding to a symmetric ample line bundle on $A$. In this article, we prove that the…

Genus $g$ Torelli space is the moduli space of genus $g$ curves of compact type equipped with a homology framing. The hyperelliptic locus is a closed analytic subvariety consisting of finitely many mutually isomorphic components. We use…

We study the moduli space of abelian threefolds with Iwahori level structure in positive characteristic. We explicitly determine the fibers of the canonical projection to the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties and draw…

A section K on a genus g canonical curve C is identified as the key tool to prove new results on the geometry of the singular locus Theta_s of the theta divisor. The K divisor is characterized by the condition of linear dependence of a set…

We show that up to potential isogeny, there are only finitely many abelian varieties of dimension $d$ defined over a number field $K$, such that for any finite place $v$ outside a fixed finite set $S$ of places of $K$ containing the…

Using the irreducibility of a natural irreducible representation of the theta group of an ample line bundle on an abelian variety, we derive a bound for the number of $n$-torsion points that lie on a given theta divisor. We present also two…

In this paper we study the sections of the canonical line bundle on the moduli space of parabolic semistable vector bundles with trivial determinant and fixed parabolic structure of type $\underline{\lambda}=(\lambda_1,..., \lambda_s)$…

We prove the following converse of Riemann's Theorem: let (A,\Theta) be an indecomposable principally polarized abelian variety whose theta divisor can be written as a sum of a curve and a codimension two subvariety \Theta=C+Y. Then C is…
