What's known about the mod 2 reduction of the level l Jacobi modular equation?

Motivation: Let $\ell$ be an odd prime. Let $A$ in ${\mathbb Z}/2[[x]]$ be $x+x^9+x^{25}+x^{49}+...$, and $B=A(x^\ell)$. One can use the level $\ell$ Jacobi modular equation to get a polynomial ...

The mod 3 reduction of some powers of delta

Let f in Z/3[[x]] be the mod 3 reduction of the Fourier expansion of the normalized weight 12 cusp form delta for the full modular group. The exponents appearing in f are all 1 mod 3. Fix k>0 and ...

Function fields of characteristic p modular curves, and mod p reductions of the classical modular equation

Let l and p be distinct primes, l>2. There are "characteristic p modular curves" X_0(l) and X(l), defined over an algebraic closure, K, of Z/p, solving moduli problems for elliptic curves with some ...

Orlik-Solomon algebra and hyperplane complements in positive characteristic

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$, $\underline H:=\{H_1,\dots, H_m\}$ a set of hyperplanes in $\mathbb A_k^n$ and $X:=\mathbb A^n-(\bigcup H_i)$. Given a ring $R$ ...

Characters of finite fields - Reference request

Let $\mathbf{F}_q$ ($q=p^f$) be a finite field. We are interested in the characters $\chi: \mathbf{F}_q\rightarrow \mathbf{K}$ ($\chi(0)=0$) where the $ \mathbf{K}$ is an alg.closed field of ...

Application of Frobenius splitting in characteristic $0$

In general, Frobenius splitting only defines on field of characteristic $p$ (algebraically closed) field. I am reading Brion and Kumar's book and I can see that there are geometric results can be ...

What are the possibilities of the general fibres in an Iitaka fibration?

This question is motivated by complex algebraic geometry. If $X$ is a complex algebraic variety with Kodaira dimension in $[1,\dim X-1]$, then the Iitaka fibration (the rational map induced by the ...

Indecomposablity in purely inseparable extensions

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p$ (e.g. the separable closure of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$) and consider the extension $k(x)/k$ where $x^p\in k$ but $x$ does not. Consider a (finitely generated) ...

vanishing of higher algebraic de Rham cohomology and sheaves of differentials for singular curves

I'm looking for some results or references about de Rham cohomology of curves in less-than-optimal cases. The two vanishing results I care about are: $H^{k}_{\text{dR}}(X) = 0$ for $k>2$, since $H^...

Foliations in positive characteristic

Ekedahl wrote about foliations in positive characteristic, over the field $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ as a subsheaf of the tangent sheaf, that are closed with respect to involution and $p$-power. My ...
