AbstractDiscrete subgroups of semisimple Lie groups arise in a variety of contexts, sometimes "in nature" as monodromy groups of families of algebraic manifolds, and other times in relation to geometric structures and associated dynamical systems. I will discuss a class of such discrete subgroups that arise from certain variations of Hodge structure and lead to Anosov representations, thus rela...
AbstractWe use the machinery of A1-homotopy theory to study the geometric ramification theory. We define the quadratic Artin conductor for a motivic spectrum on a smooth proper curve and obtain a quadratic refinement of the classical Grothendieck-Ogg-Shafarevich formula. Then we use the non-acyclicity class to formulate a quadratic conductor formula. In some sense, we obtain a quadratic version...
