Hyperelliptic curves mapping to abelian varieties and applications to Beilinson's conjecture for zero-cycles

This paper constructs a large family of pairwise non-isomorphic hyperelliptic curves mapping birationally into abelian surfaces isogenous to products of elliptic curves to generate rational equivalences in the Chow group of zero-cycles, thereby providing progress toward Beilinson's conjecture on the vanishing of the kernel of the Albanese map.

Theta Operator Equals Fontaine Operator on Modular Curves

Inspired by Pan's work, this paper provides a new proof that an overconvergent modular eigenform of weight $1+kwithanirreducibleGaloisrepresentationisclassicalifandonlyifitsrepresentationisdeRhamat with an irreducible Galois representation is classical if and only if its representation is de Rham at p$, achieved by demonstrating that the theta operator coincides with the Fontaine operator.

Normal traces and applications to continuity equations on bounded domains

This paper establishes that the normal Lebesgue trace satisfies the Gauss-Green identity and occupies an intermediate regularity class between distributional and strong traces, enabling the proof of uniqueness for weak solutions to continuity equations on bounded domains under relaxed boundary regularity assumptions, while demonstrating that such assumptions remain necessary when characteristics enter the domain.

The contact process on dynamical random trees with degree dependence

This paper investigates the contact process on dynamical random trees with degree-dependent edge updates, establishing sufficient conditions for a positive critical infection rate on general graphs and characterizing phase transitions—specifically proving strong survival for any infection rate under certain offspring distributions and providing a complete phase transition analysis for power-law trees with product kernels.
