Abstract: The Jacquet-Rallis trace formula is a powerful tool to study periods of automorphic forms of unitary groups that show up in Ichino-Ikeda conjecture. In this talk, I will report on the present state of the Jacquet-Rallis trace formula. Then...

Abstract: In work-in-progress with Pierre Charollois, Luis Garcia and Akshay Venkatesh we give a new construction of some Eisenstein classes for $GL_N (Z)$ that were first considered by Nori and Sczech. The starting point of this construction is a...

Abstract: In recent joint work with Jan Bruinier, Ben Howard, Michael Rapoport and Tonghai Yang, we proved that a certain generating series for the classes of arithmetic divisors on a regular integral model M of a Shimura variety for a unitary...

Abstract: For a smooth and projective variety X over a global field of dimension n with an adelic polarization, we propose canonical local and global height pairings for two cycles Y, Z of pure dimension p, q satisfying $p+q=n-1$. We will give...

Abstract: This is a work in progress inspired by the the arithmetic Gan--Gross--Prasad conjecture where one is interested in the arithmetic diagonal cycle on the product of two Shimura varieties. We study special cycles on simple Shimura varieties...

Abstract: Relative (or spherical) characters describe the restriction of a representation to a subgroup. They arise naturally in the study of periods of automorphic forms, e.g., in the setting of conjectures of Gan-Gross-Prasad and Ichino-Ikeda....

Abstract: The Gross-Prasad conjecture considers a branching problem for generic Arthur packets of classical groups. In this talk, we will describe progress towards extending this conjecture to nongeneric Arthur packets (this is joint work with Gross...

Abstract : Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension of local fields of characteristic zero. In this talk, I will explain two ways to compute the Plancherel decomposition of $L^2(GL_n(F)\backslash GL_n(E))$. In both cases, the result involves the image of...
