Given a variation of Hodge structures on a quasi-projective base $S$, whose generic Mumford-Tate group is non-product, we prove that the (countable) union of positive components of the Hodge locus is either an algebraic subvariety of $S$,…

We show that the zero locus of a normal function on a smooth complex algebraic variety S is algebraic provided that the normal function extends to a admissible normal function on a smooth compactification of S with torsion singularity. This…

The main result is that when the genus is at least 3, the rank of the normal function function of the Ceresa cycle over the moduli space of curves has maximal rank. This result was proved independently by Z. Gao and S.-W. Zhang…

Let $G$ be a finitely generate nilpotent class-2 torsion-free group. We study how the zeta function enumerating normal subgroups of G varies on residue classes. In particular, we show that for small such $G$ of Hirsch length less than or…

In a recent work of the authors, we proved the generic positivity of the Beilinson-Bloch heights of the Gross-Schoen and Ceresa cycles. The geometric part of the proof was to prove the maximality of the rank of the associated normal…

A nontrivial element in a group is a generalized torsion element if some nonempty finite product of its conjugates is the identity. We prove that any generalized torsion element in a free product of torsion-free groups is conjugate to a…

Let $G$ be a semisimple complex algebraic group with a simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, and let $\mathcal{M}^0_{G}$ denote the moduli stack of topologically trivial stable $G$-bundles on a smooth projective curve $C$. Fix a theta…

Let $G$ be a group and $g$ a non-trivial element in $G$. If some non-empty finite product of conjugates of $g$ equals to the identity, then $g$ is called a generalized torsion element. The minimum number of conjugates in such a product is…

If F is a global function field of characteristic p>3, we employ Tate's theory of analytic uniformization to give an alternative proof of a theorem of Igusa describing the image of the natural Galois representation on torsion points of…

Starting with topological field theories we investigate the Ray-Singer analytic torsion in three dimensions. For the lens Spaces L(p;q) an explicit analytic continuation of the appropriate zeta functions is contructed and implemented. Among…

Fix a smooth, projective, geometrically integral curve $C$ of genus $g \geq 2$ over a characteristic zero field. We prove that the Ceresa cycle $\mathrm{Cer}(\widetilde{C})$ of a very general ramified cover $\widetilde{C}$ of $C$ is…

For a 2d gauged sigma model with target space $M$ and discrete gauge group $G$, we consider a generalisation of Vafa's discrete torsion $H^2(BG; U(1))$ that assigns different local discrete torsion phases to different singular loci of the…

Let $G$ be a group and $g$ a non-trivial element in $G$. If some non-empty finite product of conjugates of $g$ equals to the trivial element, then $g$ is called a generalized torsion element. To the best of our knowledge, we have no…

Given an equivalence class $[A]$ in the measure algebra of the Cantor space, let $\hat\Phi([A])$ be the set of points having density 1 in $A$. Sets of the form $\hat\Phi([A])$ are called $\mathcal{T}$-regular. We establish several results…

On an open manifold, the spaces of metrics or connections of bounded geometry, respectively, split into an uncountable number of components. We show that for a pair of metrics or connections, belonging to the same component, relative…

We study the Zariski closure of points in local deformation rings corresponding to potential semi-stable representations with certain prescribed $p$-adic Hodge theoretic properties. We show in favourable cases that the closure is equal to a…

Let $F$ be an ordered topological vector space (over $\mathbb{R}$) whose positive cone $F_+$ is weakly closed, and let $E \subseteq F$ be a subspace. We prove that the set of positive continuous linear functionals on $E$ that can be…

Let $N(\sigma,T)$ denote the number of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function with real part greater than $\sigma$ and imaginary part lying between $0$ and $T$. In this article, we provide an explicit version of Carlson's zero…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group. The representation zeta function $\zeta_G(s)$ of $G$ enumerates twist isoclasses of finite-dimensional irreducible complex representations of $G$. We prove that $\zeta_G(s)$ has…

Let M be an oriented irreducible 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group and empty or toroidal boundary. Consider any element \phi in the first cohomology of M with integral coefficients. Then one can define the \phi-twisted L^2-torsion…
