Geodesics And Geometric-ARithmetic INtersections

Objective

This project will develop several aspects of a theory of real multiplication (RM), seeking to be a counterpart of the theory of complex multiplication (CM) discovered in the 19th century. Classical CM theory is famed for its beauty and elegance, and is important in a variety of contexts. For instance:

(1) in the classical era, it arose in the context of explicit class field theory. This feature is the subject of Kronecker's Jugendtraum and Hilbert's 12th problem,
(2) in the modern era, it has been instrumental in proving known cases of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, notably the results of Gross-Zagier which are a main theme of this proposal,
(3) it has been used in elliptic and hyperelliptic curve cryptography, in cryptosystems based on supersingular isogeny graphs, one of the front runners for a secure post-quantum international standard.

The objectives are to develop analytic, computational, and geometric aspects of such an RM theory, and address the full scope of these features. The theory is based on the notion of arithmetic intersections of geodesics, and this project gives a new approach towards RM theory based on a notion of p-adic weak harmonic Maass forms, and p-adic height pairings of geodesics attached to real quadratic fields.

Emphasis will lie on analytic aspects (p-adic Borcherds lifts and p-adic mock modular forms), computational aspects (development of user-friendly software for computations in RM theory), and geometric aspects (RM cycles on Shimura curves, and applications to the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture).

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
