How does one understand geometric CFT in terms of modularity?

I have recently asked a question in a similar vein: What makes Geometric CFT easier than CFT? but I'm afraid I wasn't quite ripe to ask it yet. I have since consulted with the following sources: http:/...

Does the fundamental group identify group structure on subvarieties of products of curves?

Let $C_1,\dots, C_n$ be smooth curves over $\overline{\mathbb F}_p$, not necessarily proper. Let $X$ be a subvariety of $C_1 \times \dots \times C_n$. I'm interested in the natural map: $$ \pi_1^{ab}(...

non $p$ part of the class group and analogous results

Washington had proven in 1978 that for $q$ a prime ($q \neq p$), if $q^{e_n}$ exactly divides the class number of $\mathbb{Q}_n$, ie the $n$-th layer in the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$ extension, then $...

Real field of definition of an abelian variety of CM-type?

Question 0. Can a field of definitions (without automorphisms) of an (almost arbitrary) abelian variety of CM-type, originally defined over ${\mathbb{C}}$, be chosen to be a totally real number ...

Reference request: ramified and local geometric class field theory

There are lots of references on global unramified geometric class field theory (following Deligne's $\ell$-adic sheaves approach). There are also some notes talking about how to extend Deligne's ...

Polynomial equations in many variables have solutions (Lang 1952 paper)

I am trying to understand the proof of the following result: Suppose $F$ is a function field in $k$ variables over an algebraically closed field. Let $f_1,...,f_r \in F[x_1,...,x_n]$ be ...

Global sections of higher direct images

If $f : X\to V$ is a smooth proper map of smooth schemes, what are the global sections of $R^if_{fppf, *}\mu_p$ $R^if_{fppf, *}\mathbb{G}_{\rm m}$ I was reading Milne's book "Arithmetic duality", ...

Fibers of reciprocity maps and higher dimensional analogs

Part I. Say $K$ is a number field, $v$ is a finite place of $K$, $K_v$ the $v$-adic completion of $K$. We have the local Artin map for every finite $v$: $$\rho_v : K_v^{\times}\to\text{Gal}(K_v^{\...

Rank growth in ray class fields of primes that are inert in an imaginary quadratic extension

If $K=\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{-d}]$, $E$ is an elliptic curve and $\operatorname{rank}(E(K))=\operatorname{rank}(E(\mathbb{Q}))$, are there infinitely many primes $l$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ so that: (1.) $\...

Reference request: Cohomology of Elliptic Curves

Is it true that the group $$H^1(Gal(K^{ab}/K)/\mu_{\nu}(Gal(K_{\nu}^{ab}/K_{\nu})),E_{p^n})$$ is always p-divisible? Or are there any conditions which, when satisfied, guarantee its p-divisibility? ...

What is a definition of $A(P_v)$ in the definition of Brauer-Manin obstruction?

This is a question related to the definition of Brauer-Manin obstruction. Let $K$ be a number field. $X/K$ be an algebraic variety over $K$. Let $O_{X,P}$ be a local ring of $X$ at $P$. Let $Br(X)=\...

Field of algebraic functions

We assume $K$ as a field of characteristic zero. By a field of algebraic functions of one variable over $K$ we mean a field $R$ satisfying $R=K(x,y)$ with $x$ being transcendental over $K$, and $R$ is ...

divisor class group with modulus

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over a field $k$ and $S \subset C$ a finite number of points. A modulus is simply a divisor supported on $S$. What is the divisor class group with modulus? I ...
