We present a general and comprehensive overview of recent developments in the theory of integral models of Shimura varieties of Hodge type. The paper covers the following topics: construction of integral models, their possible moduli…

In this article we give a method to construct preimages for the Shimura correspondence on Hilbert modular forms of odd and square-free level. The method relies in the ideas presented for the rational case by Pacetti and Tornar\'ia, and is…

This thesis is divided into three parts. The first part deals with cylindric plane partitions. The second with lambda-determinants and the third with commutators in semi-circular systems. For more detailed abstract please see inside.…

We introduce a new technique that is used to show that the complex projective plane blown up at 6, 7, or 8 points has infinitely many distinct smooth structures. None of these smooth structures admit smoothly embedded spheres with…

We prove the Kudla--Rapoport conjecture for Kr\"amer models of unitary Rapoport--Zink spaces at ramified places. It is a precise identity between arithmetic intersection numbers of special cycles on Kr\"amer models and modified derived…

We develop a new method of constructing non-arithmetic lattices in the projective orthogonal group $\text{PO}(n,1)$ for every integer $n$ larger than one. The technique is to consider anti-holomorphic involutions on a complex arithmetic…

We study the motivic cohomology of the special fiber of quaternionic Shimura varieties at a prime of good reduction. We exhibit classes in these motivic cohomology groups and use this to give an explicit geometric realization of level…

We prove a Cherednik style $p$-adic uniformization theorem for Shimura varieties associated to certain groups of unitary similitudes of size two over totally real fields. Our basic tool is the alternative modular interpretation of the…

For a real quadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$, let $K_{\infty}$ denote the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extension of $K$. Greenberg conjectured that the corresponding Iwasawa module $X_{\infty}$ is finite. Building on the work of…

We propose graph theoretic equivalents for existence of a finite projective plane. We then develop a new approach and see that the problem of existence of a finite projective plane of order n is linked up with a subset of sharply 2…

The real projective plane has three well know isomorphic constructions: the extended euclidean plane, unit (hemi)sphere, and three dimensional vector space over the reals. In this paper we find the isomorphisms that map between these three…

The goal of this paper is to prove a formula expressing the modular height of a unitary Shimura variety over a CM number field in terms of the logarithm derivative of the Hecke L-function associated with the CM extension. In a more specific…

We show, for several fake projective planes with nontrivial automorphism group, that the bicanonical map is an embedding.

We continue our study of the reduction of PEL Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure at primes p at which the group that defines the Shimura variety ramifies. We describe "good" $p$-adic integral models of these Shimura varieties…

Norm-compatible families of cohomology classes for Shimura varieties, and other arithmetic symmetric spaces, play an important role in Iwasawa theory of automorphic forms. The aim of this note is to give a systematic approach to proving…

A Q-homology plane is a normal complex algebraic surface having trivial rational homology. We obtain a structure theorem for Q-homology planes with smooth locus of non-general type. We show that if a Q-homology plane contains a non-quotient…

We describe the structure of the supersingular locus of a Shimura variety for a quaternionic unitary similitude group of degree $2$ over a ramified odd prime $p$ if the level at $p$ is given by a special maximal compact open subgroup. More…

We construct projective toroidal compactifications for integral models of Shimura varieties of Hodge type. We also construct integral models of the minimal (Satake-Baily-Borel) compactification. Our results essentially reduce the problem to…

The interaction of various algebraic structures describing fusion, braiding and group symmetries in quantum projective field theory is an object of an investigation in the paper. Structures of projective Zamolodchikov al- gebras, their…

We consider Shimura varieties associated to a unitary group of signature $(n-s,s)$ where $n$ is even. For these varieties, by using the spin splitting models from Zachos-Zhao, we construct flat, Cohen-Macaulay, and normal $p$-adic integral…
