Drawing A Triangle On The Thurston Model Of Hyperbolic Space, Curtis D. Bennett, Blake Mellor, Patrick D. Shanahan
Drawing A Triangle On The Thurston Model Of Hyperbolic Space, Curtis D. Bennett, Blake Mellor, Patrick D. Shanahan
Blake Mellor
In looking at a common physical model of the hyperbolic plane, the authors encountered surprising difficulties in drawing a large triangle. Understanding these difficulties leads to an intriguing exploration of the geometry of the Thurston model of the hyperbolic plane. In this exploration we encounter topics ranging from combinatorics and Pick’s Theorem to differential geometry and the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem.
Quasi-Platonic Psl2(Q)-Actions On Closed Riemann Surfaces, Sean A. Broughton
Quasi-Platonic Psl2(Q)-Actions On Closed Riemann Surfaces, Sean A. Broughton
S. Allen Broughton
This paper is the first of two papers whose combined goal is to explore the dessins d'enfant and symmetries of quasi-platonic actions of PSL2(q). A quasi-platonic action of a group G on a closed Riemann S surface is a conformal action for which S/G is a sphere and S->S/G is branched over {0, 1,infinity}. The unit interval in S/G may be lifted to a dessin d'enfant D, an embedded bipartite graph in S. The dessin forms the edges and vertices of a tiling on S by dihedrally symmetric polygons, generalizing the idea of a …
On Hilbert Modular Threefolds Of Discriminant 49, Lev A. Borisov, Paul E. Gunnells
On Hilbert Modular Threefolds Of Discriminant 49, Lev A. Borisov, Paul E. Gunnells
Paul Gunnells
Let K be the totally real cubic field of discriminant 49 , let \fancyscriptO be its ring of integers, and let p⊂\fancyscriptO be the prime over 7 . Let Γ(p)⊂Γ=SL2(\fancyscriptO) be the principal congruence subgroup of level p . This paper investigates the geometry of the Hilbert modular threefold attached to Γ(p) and some related varieties. In particular, we discover an octic in P3 with 84 isolated singular points of type A2 .
The Secant Conjecture In The Real Schubert Calculus, Luis D. García-Puente, Nickolas Hein, Christopher Hillar, Abraham Martín Del Campo, James Ruffo, Frank Sottile, Zach Teitler
The Secant Conjecture In The Real Schubert Calculus, Luis D. García-Puente, Nickolas Hein, Christopher Hillar, Abraham Martín Del Campo, James Ruffo, Frank Sottile, Zach Teitler
Zach Teitler
We formulate the Secant Conjecture, which is a generalization of the Shapiro Conjecture for Grassmannians. It asserts that an intersection of Schubert varieties in a Grassmannian is transverse with all points real if the flags defining the Schubert varieties are secant along disjoint intervals of a rational normal curve. We present theoretical evidence for this conjecture as well as computational evidence obtained in over one terahertz-year of computing, and we discuss some of the phenomena we observed in our data.
Road Trips In Geodesic Metric Spaces And Groups With Quadratic Isoperimetric Inequalities, Rachel Bishop-Ross, Jon Corson
Road Trips In Geodesic Metric Spaces And Groups With Quadratic Isoperimetric Inequalities, Rachel Bishop-Ross, Jon Corson
Rachel E. Bishop-Ross
We introduce a property of geodesic metric spaces, called the road trip property, that generalizes hyperbolic and convex metric spaces. This property is shown to be invariant under quasi-isometry. Thus, it leads to a geometric property of finitely generated groups, also called the road trip property. The main result is that groups with the road trip property are finitely presented and satisfy a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. Examples of groups with the road trip property include hyperbolic, semihyperbolic, automatic and CAT(0) groups. DOI: 10.1142/S0218196712500506

Toric Modular Forms And Nonvanishing Of L-Functions, Lev A. Borisov, Paul E. Gunnells
Toric Modular Forms And Nonvanishing Of L-Functions, Lev A. Borisov, Paul E. Gunnells
Paul Gunnells
In a previous paper \cite{BorGunn}, we defined the space of toric forms $\TTT(l)$, and showed that it is a finitely generated subring of the holomorphic modular forms of integral weight on the congruence group Γ1(l). In this article we prove the following theorem: modulo Eisenstein series, the weight two toric forms coincide exactly with the vector space generated by all cusp eigenforms f such that L(f,1)≠0. The proof uses work of Merel, and involves an explicit computation of the intersection pairing on Manin symbols.
Evaluation Of Dedekind Sums, Eisenstein Cocycles, And Special Values Of L-Functions, Pe Gunnells, R Sczech
Evaluation Of Dedekind Sums, Eisenstein Cocycles, And Special Values Of L-Functions, Pe Gunnells, R Sczech
Paul Gunnells
We define higher-dimensional Dedekind sums that generalize the classical Dedekind-Rademacher sums as well as Zagier's sums, and we show how to compute them effectively using a generalization of the continued-fraction algorithm. We present two applications. First, we show how to express special values of partial zeta functions associated to totally real number fields in terms of these sums via the Eisenstein cocycle introduced by R. Sczech. Hence we obtain a polynomial time algorithm for computing these special values. Second, we show how to use our techniques to compute certain special values of the Witten zeta function, and we compute some …

Let P≥5 be a prime. We show that the space of weight one Eisenstein series defines an embedding into P(p−3)/2 of the modular curve X1(p) for the congruence group Γ1(p) that is scheme-theoretically cut out by explicit quadratic equations.
