Eisenstein points on the Hilbert cuspidal eigenvariety

We present a comprehensive study of the geometry of Hilbert $p$-adic eigenvarieties at classical parallel weight one intersection points of their cuspidal and Eisenstein loci. For instance, we determine all such points at which the weight map is étale. The Galois theoretic approach presents genuine difficulties due to the lack of good deformation theory for pseudo-characters irregular at $p$ and reflects the richness of the local geometry. We believe that our geometric results lead to deeper insight into the arithmetic of Hilbert automorphic forms and we produce in support several applications in Iwasawa theory.

Eisenstein cocycles for imaginary quadratic fields

We construct Eisenstein cocycles for arithmetic subgroups of GL_2 of imaginary quadratic fields valued in second K-groups of products of two CM elliptic curves. We use these to construct maps from the first homology groups of Bianchi spaces to corresponding second K-groups of ray class fields and to verify the Eisenstein property of these maps for prime-to-level Hecke operators.

On Iwasawa invariants of modular forms with reducible and non-$p$-distinguished residual Galois representations

In the present paper, we study the $p$-adic $L$-functions and the (strict) Selmer groups over $\mathbb{Q}_{\infty}$, the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $\mathbb{Q}$, of the $p$-adic weight one cusp forms $f$, obtained via the $p$-stabilization of weight one Eisenstein series, under the assumption that a certain Eisenstein component of the $p$-ordinary universal cuspidal Hecke algebra is Gorenstein. As an application, we compute the Iwasawa invariants of ordinary modular forms of weight $k\geq 2$ with the same residual Galois representations as the one of $f$, which in our setting, is reducible and non-$p$-distinguished. Combining this with a result of Kato \cite[Theorem~17.4.2]{kato04}, we prove the Iwasawa main conjecture for these forms. Also, we give numerical examples that satisfy the Gorenstein hypothesis. The crucial point on the analytic counter part is that under the Gorenstein hypothesis, we are able to define, following Greenberg--Vatsal, the $p$-adic $L$-functions of $p$-adic weight one forms $f$ as an element in the one-dimensional Iwasawa algebra by using Mazur--Kitagawa two-variable $p$-adic $L$-function and then, to compute them explicitly via local explicit reciprocity law. On the algebraic counter part, we compute the (strict) Selmer groups of $f$ over $\mathbb{Q}_{\infty}$ via the knowledge of the Galois representations of $f$ studied in \cite{BDP}.

On Sharifi's conjecture: exceptional case

In the present article, we study the conjecture of Sharifi on the surjectivity of the map $\varpi_θ$. Here $θ$ is a primitive even Dirichlet character of conductor $Np$, which is exceptional in the sense of Ohta. After localizing at the prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of the Iwasawa algebra related to the trivial zero of the Kubota\textendash Leopoldt $p$-adic $L$-function $L_p(s,θ^{-1}ω^2)$, we compute the image of $\varpi_{θ,\mathfrak{p}}$ in a local Galois cohomology group and prove that it is an isomorphism. Also, we prove that the residual Galois representations associated to the cohomology of modular curves are decomposable after taking the same localization.

On congruence modules related to Hilbert Eisenstein series

We generalize the work of Ohta on the congruence modules attached to elliptic Eisenstein series to the setting of Hilbert modular forms. Our work involves three parts. In the first part, we construct Eisenstein series adelically and compute their constant terms by computing local integrals. In the second part, we prove a control theorem for one-variable ordinary $Λ$-adic Hilbert modular forms following Hida's work on the space of multivariable ordinary $Λ$-adic Hilbert cusp forms. In part three, we compute congruence modules related to Hilbert Eisenstein series through an analog of Ohta's methods.

Shimura varieties at level $Γ_1(p^\infty)$ and Galois representations

We show that the compactly supported cohomology of certain $\mathrm{U}(n,n)$ or $\mathrm{Sp}(2n)$-Shimura varieties with $Γ_1(p^\infty)$-level vanishes above the middle degree. The only assumption is that we work over a CM field $F$ in which the prime $p$ splits completely. We also give an application to Galois representations for torsion in the cohomology of the locally symmetric spaces for $\mathrm{GL}_n/F$. More precisely, we use the vanishing result for Shimura varieties to eliminate the nilpotent ideal in the construction of these Galois representations. This strengthens recent results of Scholze and Newton-Thorne.

Embeddings of fields in simple algebras over global fields

Let $F$ be a global field, $A$ a central simple algebra over $F$ and $K$ a finite (separable or not) field extension of $F$ with degree $[K:F]$ dividing the degree of $A$ over $F$. An embedding of $K$ in $A$ over $F$ exists implies an embedding exists locally everywhere. In this paper we give detailed discussions when the converse (i.e. the local-global principle in question) may hold.
