We prove that up to scaling there are only finitely many integral lattices L of signature (2,n) with n>20 or n=17 such that the modular variety defined by the orthogonal group of L is not of general type. In particular, when n>107, every…

We prove that there are only finitely many isometry classes of even lattices $L$ of signature $(2,n)$ for which the space of cusp forms of weight $1+n/2$ for the Weil representation of the discriminant group of $L$ is trivial. We compute…

We look at genera of even unimodular lattices of rank $12$ over the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5})$ and of rank $8$ over the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3})$, using Kneser neighbours to diagonalise spaces of…

We prove that there are only finitely many families of codimension two nonsingular subvarieties of quadrics $\Q{n}$ which are not of general type, for $n=5$ and $n\geq 7$. We prove a similar statement also for the case of higher…

We introduce a new equivalence relation, denoted by $A.Q.E.D.$ (= Algebraic-Quasi-\'Etale- Deformation) for complete algebraic varieties with canonical singularities: it is generated by birational equivalence, by flat algebraic…

A special cubic fourfold is a smooth hypersurface of degree three and dimension four that contains a surface not homologous to a complete intersection. Special cubic fourfolds give rise to a countable family of Noether-Lefschetz divisors…

Let $\Gamma \subset \mathbf{PU}(2,1)$ be a lattice which is not co-compact, of finite Bergman-covolume and acting freely on the open unit ball $\mathbf{B} \subset \mathbb{C}^2$. Then the compactification $X = \bar{\Gamma \setminus…

In connection with our previous investigation about Siegel threefolds which admit a Calabi--Yau model, we consider ball quotients which belong to the unitary group $\U(1,3)$. In this paper we determine a very particular example of a Picard…

We show that for any positive integer $N$, there are only finitely many holomorphic eta quotients of level $N$, none of which is a product of two holomorphic eta quotients other than 1 and itself. This result is an analog of Zagier's…

We define reflective modular forms on complex balls and use a method of Gritsenko and Hulek to show that some ball quotients of dimensions 3, 4 and 5 are uniruled. We give examples of Hermitian lattices over the rings of integers of…

In this paper the authors study quotients of the product of elliptic curves by a rigid diagonal action of a finite group $G$. It is shown that only for $G = \operatorname{He(3)}, \mathbb Z_3^2$, and only for dimension $\geq 4$ such an…

We prove a result on the singularities of ball quotients $\Gamma\backslash\CC H^n$. More precisely, we show that a ball quotient has canonical singularities under certain restrictions on the dimension $n$ and the underlying lattice. We also…

Let X' be the toroidal compactification of the quotient of the complex 2-ball by a torsion free lattice G of SU(2,1). We say that X'is co-abelian if there is an abelian surface, birational to X'. The present work can be viewed as an…

We study the quotients of n+1-dimensional anti-de Sitter space by one-parameter subgroups of its isometry group SO(2,n) for general n. We classify the different quotients up to conjugation by O(2,n). We find that the majority of the classes…

We present the universal, in Vogel's sense, expression for the quantum dimension of Cartan product of an arbitrary number of adjoint and $X_2$ representations of simple Lie algebras. The same formula mysteriously gives quantum dimensions of…

Suppose $\Gamma < \mathrm{PU}(n,1)$ is a cocompact arithmetic lattice of simplest type with profinite completion $\widehat{\Gamma}$. This paper proves there is an open subgroup $\widehat{\Gamma}_0 \le \widehat{\Gamma}$ such that…

We prove a bound relating the volume of a curve near a cusp in a hyperbolic manifold to its multiplicity at the cusp. The proof uses a hybrid technique employing both the geometry of the uniformizing group and the algebraic geometry of the…

We prove that for any even lattice L of signature (2,n), the modular variety defined by the orthogonal group of the lattice L+mE_8 is of general type when m is sufficiently large.

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field, and ${\Bbb S}$ a finite sequence of simple left $\Lambda$-modules. In [6, 9], quasiprojective algebraic varieties with accessible affine open covers were…

For many classical moduli spaces of orthogonal type there are results about the Kodaira dimension. But nothing is known in the case of dimension greater than 19. In this paper we obtain the first results in this direction. In particular the…
