For families of curves arising from a Dynkin diagram of type ADE, we show that the density of such curves having squarefree discriminant is equal to the product of local densities. We do so using the framework of Thorne and Laga's PhD theses and geometry-of-numbers techniques developed by Bhargava, here expanded over number fields.

We prove explicit lower bounds for the natural density of the sets of primes p represented by a reduced form of negative discriminant D such that Siegel eigenvalues of a Cuspidal Siegel eigenforms F of degree 2 satisfy for the real numbers and .

Moreover, we deal with various kinds of quantitative results concerning the comparison between the normalized Siegel eigenvalues over the primes p represented by a reduced form of negative discriminant D, of two distinct cuspidal Siegel eigenforms for the full symplectic group of degree 2 which are not Saito–Kurokawa lifts.

In this paper, we prove that, under a technical assumption, any semi-direct product of a p-group G with a group Φ of order prime to p can appear as the Galois group of a tower of extensions with the property that M is the maximal unramified p-extension of L, and . A consequence of this result is that any local ring admitting a surjection to , or with finite kernel can be realized as a universal everywhere unramified deformation ring.

This paper studies Boston's generalization of the unramified Fontaine-Mazur conjecture for Galois representations. The first main result establishes that the conjecture can be verified by restricting to the cases of p-adic Galois representations and -adic representations. The second main result is a finiteness theorem for the associated unramified Galois deformation rings under certain conditions.

Caleb M. Shor , Jae Hyung Sim
In 2008, Wang & Wang showed that the set of gaps of a numerical semigroup generated by two coprime positive integers a and b is equidistributed modulo 2 precisely when a and b are both odd. Shor generalized this in 2022, showing that the set of gaps of such a numerical semigroup is equidistributed modulo m when a and b are coprime to m and at least one of them is 1 modulo m. In this paper, we further generalize these results by considering numerical semigroups generalized by geometric sequences of the form , aiming to determine when the corresponding set of gaps is equidistributed modulo m. With elementary methods, we are able to obtain a result for and all m. We then work with cyclotomic rings, using results about multiplicative independence of cyclotomic units to obtain results for all k and infinitely many m. Finally, we take an approach with cyclotomic units and Dirichlet L-functions to obtain results for all k and all m.
Wang &; Wang在2008年证明了当a和b都是奇数时,由两个素数正整数a和b生成的数值半群的间隙集精确地是等分布模2。Shor在2022年推广了这一结论,证明了当a和b对m互素且至少有一个是1模m时,这样的数值半群的间隙集是等分布模m。在本文中,我们进一步推广了这些结果,考虑了由ak,ak−1b,…,bk形式的几何序列广义的数值半群,目的是确定相应的间隙集何时是等分布模m。我们能够得到k=2和所有m的结果。然后我们使用环切环,使用关于环切单元乘法独立性的结果来获得所有k和无限多个m的结果。最后,我们采用环切单元和Dirichlet l -函数的方法来获得所有k和所有m的结果。

We introduce an extension of the standard cohomology which is characterised by maps that fail to be classical cocycles by products of simpler maps. The construction is motivated by the study of Manin's noncommutative modular symbols and of false theta functions. We use this construction to obtain a cohomological interpretation of important iterated integrals that arise in that study. In another direction, our approach gives modular counterparts to the long-studied relations among multiple zeta values.
