Walter Neumann
I recently learnt the sad news that Walter Neumann just passed away. Although I don’t think I have seen him in person for over 25 years, Walter was a pretty significant influence in my mathematical life. Here are some of … Continue reading
SL_n versus GL_n
I recently wrote a paper (with Toby Gee and George Boxer, see also here) on constructing regular algebraic automorphic representations \(\pi\) of (cohomological) weight zero and level one, and therefore also cuspidal cohomology classes in the cohomology of \(\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbf{Z})\) for … Continue reading

Schur-Siegel-Smyth-Serre-Smith
If \(\alpha\) is an algebraic number, the normlized trace of \(\alpha\) is defined to be \( \displaystyle{T(\alpha):=\frac{\mathrm{Tr}(\alpha)}{[\mathbf{Q}(\alpha):\mathbf{Q}].}}\) If \(\alpha\) is an algebraic integer that is totally positive, then the normalized trace is at least one. This follows from the AM-GM … Continue reading

Update on Sato-Tate for abelian surfaces
Various people have asked me for an update on the status of the Sato-Tate conjecture for abelian surfaces in light of recent advances in modularity lifting theorems. My student Noah Taylor has exactly been undertaking this task, and this post … Continue reading

New Results In Modularity, Part I
I usually refrain from talking directly about my papers, and this reticence stems from wishing to avoid any appearance of tooting my own horn. On the other hand, nobody else seems to be talking about them either. Moreover, I have … Continue reading

Correspondance Serre-Tate, Part I
Reading the correspondence between Serre and Tate has been as delightful as one could expect. What is very nice to see — although perhaps not so surprising — is the utter delight that both Serre and Tate find in discussing … Continue reading

Serre 1: Calegari 0
I just spent a week or so trying to determine whether Serre’s conjecture about the congruence subgroup property was false for a very specific class of S-arithmetic groups. The punch line, perhaps not surprisingly, was that I had made an … Continue reading

Ventotene, Part II
I promised to return to a more mathematical summary of the conference in Ventotene, and indeed I shall do so in the next two posts. One of the themes of the conference was bounding the order of the torsion subgroup … Continue reading
