My mathematical work is supported by NSF grant DMS-1100784.
I am an editor for
Journal of the AMS,
Algebra and Number Theory, and
IMRN. Please consider submitting appropriate papers to these journals. All
such submissions
must go through the journal website; papers cannot be submitted
through editors, and any submissions on famous open problems are subject to the strict rules as described
at the lower half of
this page.
[JAMS has acceptance standards on par with Annals of Math and accepts around 30 papers
per year across all areas of math, ANT is the top journal for specialized papers in algebra and number theory, and IMRN is
a general-interest journal with an acceptance standard roughly at the level just below that of Duke Math Journal.]
If you are taking a class from me then you should find a functioning
link to it below (with course information, homeworks, and so on).
If several days go by without a response to email,
I am probably away from home.
Number theory and representation theory seminar
  
Analytic number theory, algebraic number theory,
arithmetic geometry, automorphic forms, and even some things
not beginning with the letter "a". It's a big subject.

Some differential geometry
  
I once taught an introductory differential geometry course
and was rather disappointed with the course text,
so I went overboard (or crazy?) and wrote several hundred pages of stuff to supplement
the book.
If you are learning elementary differential geometry, maybe you'll find
some of these handouts to be interesting. Most likely I will never again
teach such a course.
  
Ross Program,
PROMYS Program,
and
Epsilon Fund
  
Some mathematicians are entirely self-created;
for the rest of us, assistance and encouragement
early on is helpful. These programs do an excellent job in that direction.
Research
First, some caveats.
0. Links to files undergoing revision may be temporarily disabled.
1. If you want to know where something below was published
(if it has appeared in print), then please look on MathSciNet.
2. Someday I should join the 21st century and post
papers on the arxiv, at least after I can no longer make changes
to the version to be published. In particular, I should post
my old papers that have already appeared. Unfortunately (?), I tend
to rewrite things too many times and don't wish to keep
posting revision on top of revision on the arxiv. Posting things
here (even in far-from-final state) partially compensates for my
pedantry, I hope.
Are you looking for how to get a copy of
the pseudo-reductive book with Gabber and Prasad? Or a draft copy of the CM book with Chai and Oort?
If so, scroll down to the "Book" section below.
Classification of pseudo-reductive groups
 pdf
Reductive group schemes (notes for "SGA3 summer school").
 pdf
This proves main results from SGA3 using Artin's work and the dynamic method from "Pseudo-reductive groups" to simplify proofs.
Here is a  link
to some other notes from the summer school, inspired by a lecture given there by
B. Gross on non-split groups over the integers, and a related  file by J.-K. Yu providing
computer code used in some of the computations therein.
Algebraic independence of periods and logarithms of Drinfeld modules (by C-Y. Chang, M. Papanikolas).
 pdf
I provided the appendix (a pseudo-application of pseudo-reductive groups).
Lifting global representations with local properties
 pdf
Universal property of non-archimedean analytification.
  pdf
Descent for non-archimedean analytic spaces (with M. Temkin).
 pdf
Finiteness theorems for algebraic groups over function fields.
  pdf
Moishezon spaces in rigid geometry.
  pdf
Nagata compactification for algebraic spaces (with M. Lieblich, M. Olsson).
  pdf
Arithmetic properties of the Shimura-Shintani-Waldspurger correspondence
(by K. Prasanna).
  pdf
I provided the appendix.
Non-archimedean analytification of algebraic spaces (with M. Temkin).
  pdf
Chow's K/k-image and K/k-trace, and the Lang-Neron theorem
(via schemes).
  pdf
This largely expository note improves the non-effective classical version of
the Chow regularity theorem, and generally uses infinitesimal methods and
flat descent to replace Weil-style proofs that I could not understand.
It is also cited in "Root numbers and ranks in positive characteristic" below.
Prime specialization in higher genus II (with K. Conrad and R. Gross).
  pdf
Prime specialization in higher genus I (with K. Conrad).
  pdf
Higher-level canonical subgroups in abelian varieties.
  pdf
Modular curves and rigid-analytic spaces.
  pdf
Relative ampleness in rigid-analytic geometry.
  pdf

(with K. Conrad and H. Helfgott).
  pdf
Arithmetic moduli of generalized elliptic curves.
  pdf
Edixhoven has a different approach to these matters
when the moduli stacks are Deligne-Mumford.
Prime specialization in genus 0 (with K. Conrad and R. Gross).
  pdf
Modular curves and Ramanujan's continued fraction (with B. Cais).
  pdf
A short erratum to this paper.   pdf
"On quasi-reductive group schemes"
(by G. Prasad and J-K. Yu).
  pdf
I provided the appendix.
The Möbius function and the residue theorem (with K. Conrad).
  pdf
This is a companion to "Prime specialization in genus 0"
above.
J1(p) has connected fibers
(with S. Edixhoven and W. Stein).
  pdf
Finite-order automorphisms of a certain torus.

probabilities (with M. Mitzenmacher).

  pdf
A modern proof of Chevalley's theorem on algebraic groups.
  pdf

l = 3, 5
(with S. Wong).

  pdf
Finite group schemes over bases with low ramification.
  pdf
Books
Here are some books, pre-books, etc.
Complex multiplication and lifting problems (with C-L. Chai, F. Oort)
 order while supplies last!
(this link might be behind a firewall; the ISBN number is ISBN-10: 1-4704-1014-1)
Pseudo-reductive groups (with O. Gabber, G. Prasad)
 2nd edition!
Some exercises on group schemes and p-divisible groups.
These are the "homework" exercises for a week-long
instructional workshop for graduate students
co-organized with Andreatta and Schoof in May, 2005.
These were too many exercises for the amount of time given.
But if you have more than a week to spend on them then
perhaps some of the exercises will be helpful or interesting if you
are taking your first steps in this direction. Since
the lectures that naturally accompany these exercises
are not recorded here, a recommended substitute is some of the
written lecture notes from the ``Notes on complex multiplication''
(see above) and a lot of asparagus.
What do these 5 people have in common?
