The spectral geometry of hyperbolic and spherical manifolds: analogies and open problems

Brauer equivalent number fields and the geometry of quaternionic Shimura varieties

Commensurability Classes of Fake Quadrics

Benjamin Linowitz, Matthew Stover, John Voight

A fake quadric is a smooth projective surface that has the same rational cohomology as a smooth quadric surface but is not biholomorphic to one. We provide an explicit classificati…

On the isospectral orbifold-manifold problem for nonpositively curved locally symmetric spaces

Benjamin Linowitz, Jeffrey S. Meyer

An old problem asks whether a Riemannian manifold can be isospectral to a Riemannian orbifold with nontrivial singular set. In this short note we show that under the assumption of…

The sign changes of Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series

Systole inequalities for arithmetic locally symmetric spaces

Sara Lapan, Benjamin Linowitz, Jeffrey S. Meyer

In this paper we study the systole growth of arithmetic locally symmetric spaces up congruence covers and show that this growth is at least logarithmic in volume. This generalizes…

Universal systole bounds for arithmetic locally symmetric spaces

Sara Lapan, Benjamin Linowitz, Jeffrey S. Meyer

The systole of a closed Riemannian manifold is the minimal length of a non-contractible closed loop. We give a uniform lower bound for the systole for large classes of simple arith…

Counting problems for geodesics on arithmetic hyperbolic surfaces

Benjamin Linowitz

It is a longstanding problem to determine the precise relationship between the geodesic length spectrum of a hyperbolic manifold and its commensurability class. A well known result…

Characterizing Hilbert modular cusp forms by coefficient size

Benjamin Linowitz

Associated to an (adelic) Hilbert modular form is a sequence of `Fourier coefficients' which uniquely determine the form. In this paper we characterize Hilbert modular cusp forms b…

Embedding Orders Into Central Simple Algebras

Benjamin Linowitz, Thomas R. Shemanske

The question of embedding fields into central simple algebras over a number field was the realm of class field theory. The subject of embedding orders contained in the ring…
