 ng (Stony Brook) as part of UCSB Seminar on Geometry and Arithmetic\n\n\nA
 bstract\nIn complex algebraic geometry\, the decomposition theorem asserts
  that semisimple geometric objects remain semisimple after taking direct i
 mages under proper algebraic maps. This was conjectured by Kashiwara and i
 s proved by Mochizuki and Sabbah in a series of very long papers via harmo
 nic analysis and D-modules. In this talk\, I would like to explain a simpl
 er proof in the case of semisimple local systems using a more geometric ap
 proach. This is joint work in progress with Chuanhao Wei.\n

  Alice Pozzi (Imperial College London) as part of UCSB Seminar on Geometry
  and Arithmetic\n\n\nAbstract\nA rigid meromorphic cocycle is a class in t
 he first cohomology of the group ${\\rm SL}_2(\\mathbb{Z}[1/p])$ acting on
  the non-zero rigid meromorphic functions on the Drinfeld $p$-adic upper h
 alf plane by Mobius transformation. Rigid meromorphic cocycles can be eval
 uated at points of real multiplication\, and their values conjecturally li
 e in the ring class field of real quadratic fields\, suggesting striking a
 nalogies with the classical theory of complex multiplication.\n\nIn this t
 alk\, we discuss the relation between the derivatives of certain $p$-adic 
 families of Hilbert modular forms and rigid meromorphic cocycles. We expla
 in how the study of congruences between cuspidal and Eisenstein families a
 llows us to show the algebraicity of the values of a certain rigid meromor
 phic cocycle at real multiplication points.\n\nThis is joint work with Hen

 class numbers</a>\nby Jaclyn Lang (Oxford) as part of UCSB Seminar on Geom
 etry and Arithmetic\n\n\nAbstract\nIn Mazur's seminal work on the Eisenste
 in ideal\, he showed that when $N$ and $p > 3$ are primes\, there is a wei
 ght $2$ cusp form of level $N$ congruent to the unique weight $2$ Eisenste
 in series of level $N$ if and only if $N = 1$ mod $p$. Calegari--Emerton\,
  Lecouturier\, and Wake--Wang-Erickson have work that relates these cuspid
 al-Eisenstein congruences to the $p$-part of the class group of $\\mathbb{
 Q}(N^{1/p})$. Calegari observed that when $N = -1$ mod $p$\, one can use G
 alois cohomology and some ideas of Wake--Wang-Erickson to show that $p$ di
 vides the class group of $\\mathbb{Q}(N^{1/p})$. He asked whether there is
  a way to directly construct the relevant degree $p$ everywhere unramified
  extension of $\\mathbb{Q}(N^{1/p})$ in this case. After discussing some o
 f this background\, I will report of work in progress with Preston Wake in

 /a>\nby Olivier Martin (Stony Brook) as part of UCSB Seminar on Geometry a
 nd Arithmetic\n\n\nAbstract\nThe degree of irrationality of a complex proj
 ective n-dimensional variety X is the minimal degree of a dominant rationa
 l map from X to n-dimensional projective space. It is a birational invaria
 nt that measures how far X is from being rational. Accordingly\, one expec
 ts the computation of this invariant in general to be a difficult problem.
  Alzati and Pirola showed in 1993 that the degree of irrationality of any 
 abelian g-fold is at least g+1 using inequalities on holomorphic length. T
 okunaga and Yoshihara later proved that this bound is sharp for abelian su
 rfaces and Yoshihara asked for examples of abelian surfaces with degree of
  irrationality at least 4. Recently\, Chen and Chen-Stapleton showed that 
 the degree of irrationality of any abelian surface is at most 4. In this w
 ork\, I provide the first examples of abelian surfaces with degree of irra
 tionality 4. In fact\, I show that most abelian g-folds have degree of irr
 ationality at least 2g. We will present the proof of the case g=2 and indi
 cate how to obtain the result in general. The argument rests on Mumford's 
 theorem on rational equivalence of zero-cycles on surfaces with p_g>0 alon
 g with (new?) results on integral Hodge classes on self-products of abelia
 n varieties.\n

 s on M\, where the bundles on M come from taking "wrong-way slices" of the
  the universal bundle on M x C. This story starts in the '70s and is due t

 , and for certain moduli spaces of rank-0 sheaves on K3 surfaces.  I will 
 discuss joint work with my student Andrew Wray\, showing that it holds for
  moduli spaces of high-rank sheaves on K3 surfaces.  Techniques include th

 ifold. One can associate a category (wrapped Fukaya category) to a Lagrang
 ian skeleton\, and study when does the category remain invariant as the La
 grangian varies. Many categories in mirror symmetry and representation the
 ory can be described using such categories on Lagrangian skeletons\, and i
 t’s interesting to see how variation of skeleton induces derived equival
 ences between categories. I will begin with definition and basic examples\

 n)$\, counts the number of ways to write a natural number $n$ as an ordere
 d product of three positive integers. Thus\, $\\sum_{n=1}^\\infty \\tau_3(
 n) n^{-s} = \\zeta^3(s).$ Given two coprime positive integers $a$ and $q$\
 , we study the distribution of $\\tau_3$ in arithmetic progressions $n \\e
 quiv a (\\text{mod } q).$ The distribution of $\\tau_3$ in arithmetic prog
 ressions has a rich history and has applications to the distribution of pr
 ime numbers and moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions. We show that $\\tau_3$
  is equidistributed on average for moduli $q$ up to $X^{2/3}$\, extending 
 the individual estimate of Friedlander and Iwaniec (1985). We will also di
 scuss an averaged variance of $\\tau_3$ in arithmetic progressions related
  to a recent conjecture of Rodgers and Soundararajan (2018) about asymptot

 ic\n\n\nAbstract\nLet C be a curve of genus g. A fundamental problem in th
 e theory of algebraic curves is to understand maps of C to projective spac
 e of dimension r of degree d. When the curve C is general\, the moduli spa
 ce of such maps is well-understood by the main theorems of Brill--Noether 
 theory.  However\, in nature\, curves C are often encountered already equi
 pped with a map to some projective space\, which may force them to be spec
 ial in moduli.  The simplest case is when C is general among curves of fix
 ed gonality.  Despite much study over the past three decades\, a similarly
  complete picture has proved elusive in this case. In this talk\, I will d
 iscuss joint work with Eric Larson and Hannah Larson that completes such a
  picture\, by proving analogs of all of the main theorems of Brill--Noethe
 r theory in this setting.  In the course of our degenerative argument\, we

 he Siegel-Weil formula relates the integral of a theta function along a cl

 ula\, relating intersection numbers of special cycles on Shimura varieties
  for H to the first derivative at a special value of a Siegel-Eisenstein s
 eries on G. We study a function field analogue of this problem in joint wo
 rk with Zhiwei Yun and Wei Zhang. We define special cycles on moduli stack
 s of unitary shtukas\, construct associated virtual fundamental classes\, 
 and relate their degrees to the derivatives to *all* orders of Siegel-Eise
 nstein series. The results can be seen as “higher derivative” analogue
 s of the Kudla-Rapoport Conjecture. A key to the proof is a categorificati
 on of local density formulas for Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series
 \, and a parallel categorification of the degrees of virtual fundamental c
 lasses of special cycles\, in terms of a global variant of Springer theory

  Georgia) as part of UCSB Seminar on Geometry and Arithmetic\n\n\nAbstract
 \nGrothendieck's section conjecture predicts that for a curve X of genus a
 t least 2 over an arithmetically interesting field (say\, a number field o
 r p-adic field)\, the étale fundamental group of X encodes all the inform
 ation about rational points on X. In this talk I will formulate a tropical
  analogue of the section conjecture and explain how to use methods from lo
 w-dimensional topology and moduli theory to prove many cases of it. As a b
 yproduct\, I'll construct many examples of curves for which the section co
 njecture is true\, in interesting ways. For example\, I will explain how t
 o prove the section conjecture for the generic curve\, and for the generic
  curve with a rational divisor class\, as well as how to construct curves 
 over p-adic fields which satisfy the section conjecture for geometric reas
 ons. This is joint work with Wanlin Li\, Nick Salter\, and Padma Srinivasa

 be-free positive integers $N$.  They are cubic twists of the Fermat ellipt
 ic curve $x^3+y^3=1$\, and admit complex multiplication by the ring of int
 egers of $\\mathbb{Q}(\\sqrt{-3})$. First\, I will study the $p$-adic valu
 ation of the algebraic part of their central $L$-values\, and exhibit a cu
 rious relation between the $3$-part of the Tate--Shafarevich group of $E$ 
 and the number of prime divisors of $N$ which are inert in $\\mathbb{Q}(\\
 sqrt{-3})$. In the second part of the talk\, I will study in more detail t
 he cases when $N=2p$ or $2p^2$ for an odd prime number $p$ congruent to $2
 $ or $5$ modulo $9$. For these curves\, we establish the $3$-part of the B
 irch--Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and a relation between the ideal class gr
 oup of $\\mathbb{Q}(\\sqrt[3]{p})$ and the $2$-Selmer group of $E$\, which
  can be used to study non-triviality of the $2$-part of their Tate--Shafar

 >\nby Jon Aycock (University of Oregon) as part of UCSB Seminar on Geometr
 y and Arithmetic\n\n\nAbstract\nIn the 1970's\, Katz constructed p-adic L-
 functions for CM fields by relating the values of the Dedekind zeta functi
 on to the values of certain nearly holomorphic Eisenstein series. Crucial 
 in his construction was the action of the Maass--Shimura differential oper
 ators. Katz's p-adic interpolation of these differential operators is only
  defined over the ordinary locus\, which leads to a restriction on what p 
 are allowed. Recently\, this restriction has been lifted in the case of qu
 adratic imaginary fields by Andreatta and Iovita using an "overconvergent"
  analog of the Maass--Shimura operator for elliptic modular forms. We will
  give an overview of the theory of overconvergent Hilbert modular forms be
 fore constructing an "overconvergent" analog of the Maass--Shimura operato

 a>\nby Andres Fernandez Herrero (Cornell University) as part of UCSB Semin
 ar on Geometry and Arithmetic\n\n\nAbstract\nModuli spaces arise as a geom
 etric way of classifying objects of interest in algebraic geometry. For ex
 ample\, there exists a quasiprojective moduli space that parametrizes stab
 le vector bundles on a smooth projective curve C. In order to further unde
 rstand the geometry of this space\, Mumford constructed a compactification
  by adding a boundary parametrizing semistable vector bundles. If the smoo
 th curve C is replaced by a higher dimensional projective variety X\, then
  one can compactify the moduli problem by allowing vector bundles to degen
 erate to an object known as a "torsion-free sheaf". Gieseker and Maruyama 
 constructed moduli spaces of semistable torsion-free sheaves on such a var
 iety X. More generally\, Simpson proved the existence of moduli spaces of 
 semistable pure sheaves supported on smaller subvarieties of X. All of the
 se constructions use geometric invariant theory (GIT).\n\nFor a projective
  variety X\, the moduli problem of coherent sheaves on X is naturally para
 metrized by an algebraic stack M\, which is a geometric object that natura
 lly encodes the notion of families of sheaves. In this talk I will explain
  a GIT-free construction of the moduli space of Gieseker semistable pure s
 heaves which is intrinsic to the moduli stack M. This approach also yields
  a Harder-Narasimhan stratification of the unstable locus of the stack. Ou
 r main technical tools are the theory of Theta-stability introduced by Hal
 pern-Leistner\, and some recent techniques developed by Alper\, Halpern-Le
 istner and Heinloth. In order to apply these results\, one needs to prove 
 some monotonicity conditions for a polynomial numerical invariant on the s
 tack. We show monotonicity by defining a higher dimensional analogue of th
 e affine grassmannian for pure sheaves. I will also explain some applicati
 ons of these ideas to other moduli problems. This talk is based on joint w
 ork with Daniel Halpern-Leistner and Trevor Jones\, as well as work with T
 omas Gomez and Alfonso Zamora.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://stable.researchseminars.org/talk/UCSBs
 ga/41/">On characteristic power series of dual signed Selmer groups</a>\nb
 y Florian Sprung (Arizona State University) as part of UCSB Seminar on Geo
 metry and Arithmetic\n\n\nAbstract\nIn joint work with Jishnu Ray\, we rel
 ate the cardinality of the p-primary part of the Bloch-Kato Selmer group o
 ver Q attached to a modular form at a non-ordinary prime p to the constant
  term of the characteristic power series of the signed Selmer groups over 
 the cyclotomic Zp-extension of Q. This generalizes a result of Vigni and L
 ongo in the ordinary case. In the case of elliptic curves\, such results f
 ollow from earlier works by Greenberg\, Kim\, the second author\, and Ahme
 d–Lim\, covering both the ordinary and most of the supersingular case.\n
