Joint IAS/PU Number Theory

This talk is about qualitative properties of the underlying scheme of Rapoport-Zink formal moduli spaces of p-divisible groups, resp. Shtukas. We single out those cases when the dimension of this underlying scheme is zero, resp. those where the...

The stacky approach was originated by Bhatt and Lurie. (But the possible mistakes in my talk are mine.)

Let X be a scheme over F_p. Many years ago Grothendieck and Berthelot defined the notion of crystal on X; moreover, they defined the notion of...

In their seminal work from the 80’s, Lubotzky, Phillips and Sarnak gave explicit constructions of topological generators for PU(2) with optimal covering properties. In this talk I will describe some recent works that extend the construction of LPS...

We parametrise elements in the full Hecke algebra in a way such that the parametrisation represents a generic automorphic form. By convolving, we then arrive at pre-trace formulas which are modular in three variables. From here, various identities...

The singularities in the reduction modulo $p$ of the modular curve $Y_0(p)$ are visualized by the famous picture of two curves meeting transversally at the supersingular points. It is a fundamental question to understand the singularities which...

On an elliptic curve $y^2=x^3+ax+b$, the points with coordinates $(x,y)$ in a given number field form a finitely generated abelian group. One natural question is how the rank of this group changes when changing the number field. For the simplest...

The theory of complex multiplication describes finite abelian extensions of imaginary quadratic number fields using singular moduli, which are special values of modular functions at CM points. I will describe joint work with Henri Darmon in the...

The thesis of Akshay Venkatesh obtains a ``Beyond Endoscopy'' proof of stable functorial transfer from tori to ${\rm SL}(2)$, by means of the Kuznetsov formula. In this talk, I will show that there is a local statement that underlies this work...

In 1987, Barry Mazur and John Tate formulated refined conjectures of the "Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer type", and one of these conjectures was essentially proved in the prime conductor case by Ehud de Shalit in 1995. One of the main objects in de...

This talk is concerned with the radius of convergence of p-adic families of modular forms --- q-series over a p-adic disc whose specialization to certain integer points is the q-expansion of a classical Hecke eigenform of level p. Numerical...
