Riemann existence theorems of Mumford type

Riemann Existence Theorems for Galois covers of Mumford curves by Mumford curves are stated and proven. As an application, all finite groups are realised as full automorphism groups of Mumford curves in characteristic zero.     

$\Omega$-admissible theory II. Deligne pairings over moduli spaces of punctured Riemann surfaces

In Part I, Deligne-Riemann-Roch isometry is generalized for punctured Riemann surfaces equipped with quasi-hyperbolic metrics. This is achieved by proving the Mean Value Lemmas, which explicitly explain how metrized Deligne pairings for -admissible metrized line bundles depend on . In Part II, we first introduce several line bundles over Knudsen-Deligne-Mumford compactification of the moduli space (or rather the algebraic stack) of stable N-pointed algebraic curves of genus g, which are rather natural and include Weil-Petersson, Takhtajan-Zograf and logarithmic Mumford line bundles. Then we use Deligne-Riemann-Roch isomorphism and its metrized version (proved in Part I) to establish some fundamental relations among these line bundles. Finally, we compute first Chern forms of the metrized Weil-Petersson, Takhtajan-Zograf and logarithmic Mumford line bundles by using results of Wolpert and Takhtajan-Zograf, and show that the so-called Takhtajan-Zograf metric on the moduli space is algebraic.

Differentials of the second kind on mumford curves

We define ap-adic analytic Hodge decomposition for the cohomology of Mumford curves, with values in a local system. When the local system is trivial, we give a new proof of Gerritzen’s theorem, that this decomposition forms a variation of Hodge structure, in a family of Mumford curves.     

Cyclic coverings of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic projective line by Mumford curves

Exact bounds for the positions of the branch points for cyclic coverings of the p-adic projective line by Mumford curves are calculated in two ways. Firstly, by using Fumiharu Kato’s *-trees, and secondly by giving explicit matrix representations of the Schottky groups corresponding to the Mumford curves above the projective line through combinatorial group theory.     

Local points of twisted Mumford quotients and Shimura curves

We determine over which fields twisted Mumford quotients have rational points. Using the $p$-adic uniformization, we apply these results to Shimura curves, and show some new cases for which the jacobians are even in the sense of [PS].

p-adic representations and vector bundles on Mumford curves

Christopher Deninger andAnnette Werner constructed a functor that associates representations of the algebraic fundamental group of an algebraic curve to a class of vector bundles on that curve. We compare this to a construction byFaltings for Mumford curves that associates representations of the Schottky group to semistable vector bundles of degree 0. We prove that for a certain class of vector bundles on Mumford curves the constructions induce isomorphic representations.     

Sur la régularité de Castelnuovo–Mumford des idéaux,en dimension 2

We give a bound on the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of a homogeneous ideal I, in a polynomial ring A, in terms of the number of variables and the degrees of generators, when the dimension of $A/I$ is at most two. This bound improves the one obtained by Caviglia and Sbarra in [G. Caviglia, E. Sbarra, Characteristic-free bounds for the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity, Prépublication, math.AC/0310122]. In the continuation of the examples constructed in Chardin and D'Cruz [M. Chardin, C. D'Cruz, Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity: examples of curves and surface, J. Algebra 270 (2003) 347–360], we use families of monomial curves to construct homogeneous ideals showing that these bounds are quite sharp. To cite this article: M. Chardin, A.L. Fall, C. R. Acad.

Generic hyperplane section of curves and an application to regularity bounds in positive characteristic

This paper investigates the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of the generic hyperplane section of projective curves in positive characteristic, and yields an application to a sharp bound on the regularity for nondegenerate projective varieties.     

Explicit Mumford isomorphism for hyperelliptic curves

Using an explicit version of the Mumford isomorphism on the moduli space of hyperelliptic curves we derive a closed formula for the Arakelov-Green function of a hyperelliptic Riemann surface evaluated at its Weierstrass points.     

Tautological Classes of the Stack of Rational Nodal Curves

This is the second in a series of three papers in which we investigate the rational Chow ring of the stack 𝔐₀ consisting of nodal curves of genus 0. Here we define the basic classes: the classes of strata and the Mumford classes.     

Analytic moduli spaces of simple sheaves on families of integral curves

We prove the existence of fine moduli spaces of simple coherent sheaves on families of irreducible curves. Our proof is based on the existence of a universal upper bound of the Castelnuovo–Mumford regularity of such sheaves, which we provide.     

Normal origamis of Mumford curves

An origami (also known as square-tiled surface) is a Riemann surface covering a torus with at most one branch point. Lifting two generators of the fundamental group of the punctured torus decomposes the surface into finitely many unit squares. By varying the complex structure of the torus one obtains easily accessible examples of Teichmüller curves in the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. The p-adic analogues of Riemann surfaces are Mumford curves. A p-adic origami is defined as a covering of Mumford curves with at most one branch point, where the bottom curve has genus one. A classification of all normal non-trivial p-adic origamis is presented and used to calculate some invariants. These can be used to describe p-adic origamis in terms of glueing squares.     

A short proof of de Shalit’s cup product formula

We give a short proof of a formula of de Shalit, expressing the cup product of two vector-valued one-forms of the second kind on a Mumford curve in terms of Coleman integrals and residues. The proof uses the notion of double indices on curves and their reciprocity laws.     

KMS weights on higher rank buildings

We extend some of the results of Carey-Marcolli-Rennie on modular index invariants of Mumford curves to the case of higher rank buildings. We discuss notions of KMS weights on buildings, that generalize the construction of graph weights over graph C*-algebras.     

Enriched spin curves on stable curves with two components

In [7], Mainò constructed a moduli space for enriched stable curves, by blowing-up the moduli space of Deligne–Mumford stable curves. We introduce enriched spin curves, showing that a parameter space for these objects is obtained by blowing-up the moduli space of spin curves.

A Mordell-Lang plus Bogomolov type result for curves in \mathbbGm2{\mathbb{G}_{m}^{2}}

We prove a sharper so-called Mordell-Lang plus Bogomolov type result for curves lying in the two-dimensional linear torus. We mainly follow the approach of Rémond in (Comp Math 134:337–366, 2002), using Vojta and Mumford type inequalities. In the special case we consider, we improve Rémond’s main result using a better Bogomolov property and an elementary arithmetic Bézout theorem.

The universal difference variety over \overline{\mathcal{M }}_g

We determine the Kodaira dimension of the Deligne–Mumford compactification \(\overline{\mathfrak{Diff }}_g\) of the universal difference variety over the moduli space of curves.     

Equations defining the periods of totally degenerate curves

Mumford has studied the generalized Jacobian variety of a singular, irreducible curve in section 5 of his book (1984). It is determined by a period matrix which is a symmetric matrix whose diagonal is zero. The problem to determine systems of equations for the period matrices of totally degenerate curves is the analogue of the Schottky problem. An essentially complete solution is given.     

A simplified proof of the André-Oort conjecture for products of modular curves

In this paper we give a short proof of the André-Oort conjecture for products of modular curves under the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis using only simple Galois-theoretic and geometric arguments. We believe this method represents a strategy for proving the conjecture for a general Shimura variety under GRH without using ergodic theory. We also demonstrate a short proof of the Manin–Mumford conjecture for Abelian varieties using similar arguments.
