Potential Modularity of K3 surfaces

Posted on November 15, 2022 by Persiflage

This post is to report on results of my student Chao Gu who is graduating this (academic) year. If \(A/F\) is an abelian surface, then one can associate to \(A\) a K3 surface \(X\) (the Kummer surface) by blowing up … Continue reading →

Polymath Proposal: 4-folds of Mumford’s type

Posted on August 24, 2021 by Persiflage

Let \(A/K\) be an abelian variety of dimension \(g\) over a number field. If \(g \not\equiv 0 \bmod 4\) and \(\mathrm{End}(A/\mathbf{C}) = \mathbf{Z}\), then Serre proved that the Galois representations associated to \(A\) have open image in \(\mathrm{GSp}_{2g}(\mathbf{Z}_p)\). The result … Continue reading →

Inverse Galois Problems II

Posted on January 13, 2015 by Persiflage

David Zywina was in town today to talk about a follow up to his previous results mentioned previously on this blog. This time, he talked about his construction of Galois groups which were simple of orthogonal type, in particular, the … Continue reading →
