On Shimura subvarieties of the Prym locus
We show that families of Pryms of abelian Galois covers of $\mathbb{P}^1$ in $A_{g-1}$ (resp. $A_g$) do not give rise to high dimensional Shimura subvareties.
On Shimura subvarieties generated by families of abelian covers ofP1
We investigate the occurrence of Shimura (special) subvarieties in the locus of Jacobians of abelian Galois covers of P1 in Ag and give classifications of families of such covers that give rise to Shimura subvarieties in the Torelli locus Tg inside Ag. Our methods are based on Moonen–Oort works as well as characteristic p techniques of Dwork and Ogus and Monodromy computations.
On the regularity and defect sequence of monomial and binomial ideals
When S is a polynomial ring or more generally a standard graded algebra over a field K, with homogeneous maximal ideal m, it is known that for an ideal I of S, the regularity of powers of I becomes eventually a linear function, i.e., reg(Im) = dm + e for m ≫ 0 and some integers d, e. This motivates writing reg(Im) = dm + em for every m ⩾ 0. The sequence em, called the defect sequence of the ideal I, is the subject of much research and its nature is still widely unexplored. We know that em is eventually constant. In this article, after proving various results about the regularity of monomial ideals and their powers, we give several bounds and restrictions on em and its first differences when…
