McMullen's Curve, the Weil Locus, and the Hodge Conjecture for Abelian Sixfolds

McMullen's compact Kobayashi-geodesic curve $V \subset X_L$, arising from the hyperbolic triangle group $\Delta(14,21,42)$ via a modular embedding into the Hilbert modular sixfold $X_L = \mathbb{H}^6/\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathcal{O}_L)$ attached to the totally real cyclic field $L = \mathbb{Q}(\cos\tfrac{\pi}{21})$, is not contained in any proper Shimura subvariety of $X_L$, and the generic fiber $A_v$ satisfies $\mathrm{MT}(A_v) = \mathrm{Res}_{L/\mathbb{Q}}\,\mathrm{SL}_2$, hence carries no exceptional Hodge tensors. The Weil locus $\mathcal{W}_K \subset X_L$ parametrizing abelian sixfolds of Weil type for $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ has codimension $3$ and $20$ irreducible components; the expected dimension $1 + 3 - 6 = -2$ makes any non-empty $V \cap \mathcal{W}_K$ super-atypical in the sense of Zilber-Pink. We prove that $V \cap \mathcal{W}_K$ is finite, possibly empty: every intersection point is a CM point with $\mathrm{End}^0(A_v) = M = KL$, a degree-$12$ CM field with $\mathrm{Gal}(M/\mathbb{Q}) \cong \mathbb{Z}/2 \times \mathbb{Z}/2 \times \mathbb{Z}/3$, established by two independent methods: the Andr\'e-Oort theorem for $\mathcal{A}_6$ and the Ax-Schanuel theorem for period maps. The Hodge-Weil classes in $H^{3,3}$ at intersection points are absolute Hodge yet inaccessible to all existing algebraicity theorems, due to three independent obstructions: CM isolation, absence of a $K$-secant structure, and uncontrolled discriminant. For $d \in \{3,7\}$, so that $M = \mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{42})$, we reduce non-emptiness of $V \cap \mathcal{W}_K$ to $44 \times 64 = 2816$ explicit algebraic equations for the prime $\ell = 43$ via Hecke correspondences on $X_L$, and isolate the remaining open steps toward a new case of the Hodge conjecture for abelian sixfolds.

Automorphic Cohomology and the Limits of Algebraic Cycles

This paper establishes an explicit obstruction to constructing algebraic cycles from automorphic cohomology classes on Shimura varieties. We produce a rational Hodge class $\Omega_E$ in the intersection cohomology of the Baily-Borel compactification of a Shimura variety for $\text{SO}(2,26)$, arising from a stable residual automorphic representation via theta lift from the weight-$2$ newform of conductor $11$. While $\Omega_E$ is automorphic and of pure Hodge type, we prove it is non-interior and hence cannot be obtained from special cycles, theta lifts, endoscopic transfers, or boundary pushforwards, all of which yield interior classes. The result is unconditional, relying only on Arthur's classification, Vogan-Zuckerman theory, the fundamental lemma, and the Zucker conjecture (proven by Looijenga-Saper-Stern), and it highlights a fundamental asymmetry between automorphic cohomology and geometric access to algebraic cycles, refining the Hodge conjecture from a question of existence to one of constructive tractability.

On the invariant cycle theorem for families of Nori motives

In this paper, we prove a motivic enhancement of the theorem of the fixed part in Hodge theory due to Deligne. In the pure motivic case, this was done for the first time by Andr\'e in [And96]. Our main result is an extension to the mixed case, which strengthens a result by Arapura [Ara13] and also provides an alternative and simpler proof, in the framework of Nori motives, of a result by Ayoub [Ayo14].
