Matrix-perturbation bounds quantify how the spectral characteristics of a baseline matrix A change under additive noise E. Classical results, including Weyl’s inequality for eigenvalues and the Davis–Kahan theorem for eigenvectors and eigenspaces...

In this talk, we continue to discuss the intersection of modular correspondences but on the self-product of two Shimura curves. This is partially motivated by a classical work of Kudla-Rapoport for the single Shimura curve case and by the self...

In this talk, I will discuss some effective computations for variations of integral Hodge structures.

Several years ago, with Ren and Javanpeykar-Kühne, I conjectured (in the Shimura setting) that a variation has only finitely many "non-factor"...

A Hodge structure is a certain linear algebraic datum.  Importantly, the cohomology groups of any smooth projective algebraic variety come equipped with Hodge structures which encode the integrals of algebraic differential forms over topological...

The theory of rigidity for lattices in higher rank semisimple Lie groups is a powerful and exciting subject, combining methods from algebra, number theory, geometry and dynamics. One of the most celebrated results is Margulis' normal subgroup...

Let $X$ be a K3 surface. Consider a finitely supported probability measure $\mu$ on $\operatorname{Aut}(X)$ such that $\Gamma_{\mu} = \langle \operatorname{Supp}(\mu)\rangle Aut(X)$ is non-elementary. We do not assume that $\Gamma_{\mu}$ contains...

Around 1992, Aldous made the following bold conjecture. Let A be any set of transpositions in the symmetric group Sym(N). Then the spectral gap of the Cayley graph Cay(Sym(N),A) is identical to that of a relatively tiny N-vertex graph defined by A...

The Shafarevich conjecture is concerned with finiteness results for families of g-dimensional principally polarized abelian varieties over a base B. Famously, Faltings settled the arithmetic case of B=O_{K,S}. In the case where B is a curve over a...
