These are expanded lecture notes of a series of expository talks surveying basic aspects of group cohomology and homology. They were written for someone who has had a first course in graduate algebra but no background in cohomology. You…

Generalized unitarity cut of a Feynman diagram generates an algebraic system of polynomial equations. At high-loop levels, these equations may define a complex curve or a (hyper-)surface with complicated topology. We study the curve cases,…

The modularity of elliptic curves always intrigues number theorists. Recently, Thorne had proved a marvelous result that for a prime $ p $, every elliptic curve defined over a $ p $-cyclotomic extension of $ \mathbb{Q} $ is modular. The…

We discuss some examples of geometrically meaningful rational self-maps of moduli space of curves of low genus and homogeneous forms.

The generalized Verlinde formulae expressing traces of mapping classes corresponding to automorphisms of certain Riemann surfaces, and the congruence relations on allowed modular representations following from them are presented. The…

Coleman integrals is a major tool in the explicit arithmetic of algebraic varieties, notably in the study of rational points on curves. One of the inputs to compute Coleman integrals is the availability of an affine model. We develop a…

We investigate modularity of elliptic curves over a general totally real number field, establishing a finiteness result for the set non-modular $j$-invariants. By analyzing quadratic points on some modular curves, we show that all elliptic…

We study natural D-modules on the moduli stack of elliptic curves over a field of characteristic zero. We use this to produce an algebro-geometric version of the algebra of higher depth mock modular forms, studied from a Conformal Field…

We give a precise formulation of the modularity principle for the log canonical models of $\bar{M}_g$. Assuming the modularity principle holds, we develop and compare two methods for determining the critical alpha-values at which a…

We give explicit structure of the graded ring of modular forms with respect to Gamma(N) (N=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,16,18) and for some other congruence groups. We also study the modular forms of half-integer weight for certain groups.

It is always interesting and important to construct non-Reed-Solomon type MDS codes in coding theory and finite geometries. In this paper, we prove that there are non-Reed-Solomon type MDS codes from arbitrary genus algebraic curves. It is…

We investigate the geometric foundations of the space of geometric Goppa codes using the Tsfasman-Vladut H-construction. These codes are constructed from level structures, which extend the classical Goppa framework by incorporating…

These informal notes are an expanded version of lectures on the moduli space of elliptic curves given at Zhejiang University in July, 2008. Their goal is to introduce and motivate basic concepts and constructions (such as orbifolds and…

This is mostly* a non-technical exposition of the joint work arXiv:1212.0373 with Caporaso and Payne. Topics include: Moduli of Riemann surfaces / algebraic curves; Deligne-Mumford compactification; Dual graphs and the combinatorics of the…

This is a survey paper that also contains some new results. It will appear in the proceedings of the AMS summer research institute on Algebraic Geometry at Santa Cruz.

We consider variational problems that model the bending behavior of curves that are constrained to belong to given hypersurfaces. Finite element discretizations of corresponding functionals are justified rigorously via Gamma-convergence.…

We provide an account of the construction of the moduli stack of elliptic curves as an analytic orbifold. While intimately linked to Thurston's point of view on the subject (discrete groups acting properly and effectively on differentiable…

We extend the Ax-Katz theorem for a single polynomial from finite fields to the rings Z_m with m composite. This extension not only yields the analogous result, but gives significantly higher divisibility bounds. We conjecture what computer…

Differential graded (DG) commutative algebra provides powerful techniques for proving theorems about modules over commutative rings. These notes are a somewhat colloquial introduction to these techniques. In order to provide some motivation…

Geometric modeling by constraints, whose applications are of interest to communities from various fields such as mechanical engineering, computer aided design, symbolic computation or molecular chemistry, is now integrated into standard…
