   Abstract = {Let H=F be a finite abelian extension of number fields with
             F totally real and H a CM field. Let S and T be disjoint
             finite sets of places of F satisfying the standard
             conditions. The Brumer-Stark conjecture states that the
             Stickelberger element ΦH/FS,T annihilates the T-smoothed
             class group ClT(H). We prove this conjecture away from p=2,
             that is, after tensoring with Z[1/2]. We prove a stronger
             version of this result conjectured by Kurihara that gives a
             formula for the 0th Fitting ideal of the minus part of the
             Pontryagin dual of [Formula Presented] in terms of
             Stickelberger elements. We also show that this stronger
             result implies Rubin's higher rank version of the
             Brumer-Stark conjecture, again away from 2. Our technique is
             a generalization of Ribet's method, building upon on our
             earlier work on the Gross-Stark conjecture. Here we work
             with group ring valued Hilbert modular forms as introduced
             by Wiles. A key aspect of our approach is the construction
             of congruences between cusp forms and Eisenstein series that
             are stronger than usually expected, arising as shadows of
             the trivial zeroes of p-adic L-functions. These stronger
             congruences are essential to proving that the cohomology
             classes we construct are unramified at p.},

             matrix associated to a totally odd character of a totally

             cocycle, which was defined and studied earlier by the
             authors and collaborators. For the determinant of the
             regulator matrix, our conjecture follows from recent work of
             Kakde, Ventullo, and the first author. For the diagonal
             entries, our conjecture overlaps with the conjectural
             formula presented in our prior work. The intermediate cases

   Abstract = {This paper is an announcement of the following result, whose
             proof will be forthcoming. Let F be a totally real number
             field, and let F⊂ K⊂ L be a tower of fields with L / F
             a finite abelian extension. Let I denote the kernel of the
             natural projection from Z[ Gal (L/ F) ] to Z[ Gal (K/ F) ].
             Let Θ ∈ Z[ Gal (L/ F) ] denote the Stickelberger element
             encoding the special values at zero of the partial zeta
             functions of L / F, taken relative to sets S and T in the
             usual way. Let r denote the number of places in S that split
             completely in K. We show that Θ ∈ Ir, unless K is totally
             real in which case we obtain Θ ∈ Ir-1 and 2 Θ ∈ Ir.
             This proves a conjecture of Gross up to the factor of 2 in
             the case that K is totally real and # S≠ r. In this
             article we sketch the proof in the case that K is totally
             complex.},

   Abstract = {We prove that the p-adic L-series of the tensor square of a
             p-ordinary modular form factors as the product of the
             symmetric square p-adic L-series of the form and a
             Kubota–Leopoldt p-adic L-series. This establishes a
             generalization of a conjecture of Citro. Greenberg’s
             exceptional zero conjecture for the adjoint follows as a
             corollary of our theorem. Our method of proof follows that
             of Gross, who proved a factorization result for the Katz
             p-adic L-series associated to the restriction of a Dirichlet
             character. Whereas Gross’s method is based on comparing
             circular units with elliptic units, our method is based on
             comparing these same circular units with a new family of
             units (called Beilinson–Flach units) that we construct.
             The Beilinson–Flach units are constructed using Bloch’s
             intersection theory of higher Chow groups applied to
             products of modular curves. We relate these units to special
             values of classical and p-adic L-functions using work of
             Beilinson (as generalized by Lei–Loeffler–Zerbes) in the
             archimedean case and Bertolini–Darmon–Rotger (as
             generalized by Kings–Loeffler–Zerbes) in the p-adic
             case. Central to our method are two compatibility theorems
             regarding Bloch’s intersection pairing and the classical
             and p-adic Beilinson regulators defined on higher Chow
             groups.},

   Abstract = {We define a cocycle on GLn(Q) using Shintani's method. This
             construction is closely related to earlier work of Solomon
             and Hill, but differs in that the cocycle property is
             achieved through the introduction of an auxiliary
             perturbation vector Q. As a corollary of our result we
             obtain a new proof of a theorem of Diaz y Diaz and Friedman
             on signed fundamental domains, and give a cohomological
             reformulation of Shintani's proof of the Klingen-Siegel
             rationality theorem on partial zeta functions of totally
             real fields. Next we relate the Shintani cocycle to the
             Sczech cocycle by showing that the two differ by the sum of
             an explicit coboundary and a simple "polar" cocycle. This
             generalizes a result of Sczech and Solomon in the case n =
             2. Finally, we introduce an integral version of our cocycle
             by smoothing at an auxiliary prime l. This integral
             refinement has strong arithmetic consequences. We showed in
             previous work that certain specializations of the smoothed
             class yield the p-adic L-functions of totally real fields.
             Furthermore, combining our cohomological construction with a
             theorem of Spiess, one deduces that that the order of
             vanishing of these p-adic L-functions is at least as large
             as the expected one.},

   Abstract = {Let F be a totally real number field of degree n, and let H
             be a finite abelian extension of F. Let p denote a prime
             ideal of F that splits completely in H. Following Brumer and
             Stark, Tate conjectured the existence of a p-unit u in H
             whose p-adic absolute values are related in a precise way to
             the partial zeta-functions of the extension H/F. Gross later
             refined this conjecture by proposing a formula for the
             p-adic norm of the element u. Recently, using methods of
             Shintani, the first author refined the conjecture further by
             proposing an exact formula for u in the p-adic completion of
             H. In this article we state and prove a function field
             analogue of this Shintani-type formula. The role of the
             totally real field F is played by the function field of a
             curve over a finite field in which n places have been
             removed. These places represent the "real places" of F. Our
             method of proof follows that of Hayes, who proved Gross's

             modules and their associated exponential
             functions.},

             terms of the values at zero of the partial zeta functions
             associated to H/F. This conjecture is an analogue of Stark's
             conjecture, which Tate called the Brumer-Stark conjecture.
             Gross [12, Conjecture 7.6] proposed a refinement of the
             Brumer-Stark conjecture that gives a conjectural formula for
             the image of u in Fpx/Ê, where FP denotes the completion of
             F at p and Ê denotes the topological closure of the group
             of totally positive units E of F. We present a further
             refinement of Gross's conjecture by proposing a conjectural
             formula for the exact value of u in Fpx.},

   Abstract = {Let K be a real quadratic field, and p a rational prime
             which is inert in K. Let a be a modular unit on Γ0(N). In
             an earlier joint article with Henri Darmon, we presented the
             definition of an element u(α, τ) ε Kpx attached to a and
             each τ ε K. We conjectured that the p-adic number u(α,
             τ) lies in a specific ring class extension of K depending
             on τ, and proposed a "Shimura reciprocity law" describing
             the permutation action of Galois on the set of u(α, τ),
             This article provides computational evidence for these
             conjectures. We present an efficient algorithm for computing
             u(α, τ), and implement this algorithm with the modular
             unit α(z) = Δ(z) 2 Δ(4z)3,Δ(2z)3. Using p = 3, 5, 7, and
             11, and all real quadratic fields K with discriminant D <
             500 such that 2 splits in K and K contains no unit of
             negative norm, we obtain results supporting our conjectures.
             One of the theoretical results in this paper is that a
             certain measure used to define w(α, τ) is shown to be
             Z-valued rather than only Zp ∩ Q-valued; this is an
             improvement over our previous result and allows for a
             precise definition of u(α, τ), instead of only up to a
             root of unity. © Canadian Mathematical Society

   Abstract = {We present a construction which lifts Darmon's Stark-Heegner
             points from elliptic curves to certain modular Jacobians.
             Let N be a positive integer and let p be a prime not
             dividing N. Our essential idea is to replace the modular
             symbol attached to an elliptic curve E of conductor Np with
             the universal modular symbol for Γ0(Np). We then construct
             a certain torus T over Qp and lattice L ⊂ T, and prove
             that the quotient T/L is isogenous to the maximal toric
             quotient J0(Np)p-new of the Jacobian of X0(Np). This theorem
             generalizes a conjecture of Mazur, Tate, and Teitelbaum on
             the p-adic periods of elliptic curves, which was proven by
             Greenberg and Stevens. As a by-product of our theorem, we
             obtain an efficient method of calculating the p-adic periods
             of J0(Np)p-new. © 2005 Elsevier SAS. All rights

             of upper-triangular matrices over R all of whose diagonal
             entries are 1. For i = 1,2,...,n - 1, let Si denote the
             matrix whose only nonzero off-diagonal entry is a 1 in the
             ith row and (i + 1)st column. Then for any integer m
             (including m = 0), it is easy to see that the Si generate
             Unipn(Z/mZ). Reiner gave relations among the Si which he
             conjectured gave a presentation for Unipn(Z/2Z). This
             conjecture was proven by Biss [Comm. Algebra26 (1998),
             2971-2975] and an analogous conjecture was made for
             Unipn(Z/mZ) in general. We prove this conjecture, as well as

             such that the sums ai + bπ(i), 1 ≤ i ≤ k, are pairwise
             different. Alon showed that the conjecture is true for
             groups of prime order, even when A is a sequence of k < |G|
             elements, i.e., by allowing repeated elements in A. In this

             groups. With a new kind of application of the polynomial
             method in various finite and infinite fields we extend
             Alon's result to the groups (Zp)α and Zpα in the case k <

             cannot be mapped into social orders of the alternatives
             without violating at least one of three appealing
             conditions. Following Fishburn and Kelly, we define a set of
             strict preference profiles to be super Arrovian if Arrow's
             impossibility theorem holds for this set and each of its
             strict preference profile supersets. We write σ(m, n) for
             the size of the smallest super Arrovian set for m
             alternatives and n voters. We show that σ(m, 2) = [2m/m-2]
             and σ(3, 3) = 19. We also show that σ(m, n) is bounded by
             a constant for fixed n and bounded on both sides by a
             constant times 2n for fixed m. In particular, we find that
             limn→∞ σ(3, n)/2n = 3. Finally, we answer two questions
