Motivated by the work of Candelas, de la Ossa and Rodriguez-Villegas [6], we study the relations between Hasse-Witt matrices and period integrals of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in both toric varieties and partial flag varieties. We prove a conjecture by Vlasenko [23] on higher Hasse-Witt matrices for toric hypersurfaces following Katz's method of local expansion [14, 15]. The higher Hasse-Witt matrices also have close relation with period integrals. The proof gives a way to pass from Katz's congruence relations in terms of expansion coefficients [15] to Dwork's congruence relations [8] about periods.

We prove a new upper bound for the dimension of the space of cohomological automorphic forms of fixed level and growing parallel weight on $\mathrm{GL}_2$ over a number field which is not totally real, improving the one obtained by Marshall. The main tool of the proof is the mod $p$ representation theory of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ as started by Barthel-Livne and Breuil, and developed by Paskunas.

The estimate of integral points in an n-dimensional polyhedron has many applications in singularity theory, number theory and toric geometry. The third named author formulated a conjecture (i.e., Yau Number Theoretic Conjecture) which gives a sharp polynomial upper estimate on the number of positive integral points in n-dimensional (n  3) real right-angled simplices. The previous results on the conjecture in low dimension cases (n  6) have been proved by using the sharp GLY conjecture. However, it is only valid in low dimension. The Yau Number Theoretic Conjecture for n = 7 has been shown with a completely new method in [22]. In this paper, on the one hand, the similar method has been applied to prove the conjecture for n = 8, but with more meticulous analyses. The main method of proof is summing existing sharp upper bounds for the number of points in seven-dimensional simplex over the cross sections of eight-dimensional simplex. This is a signicant progress since it sheds light on proving the Yau Number Theoretic Conjecture in full generality. On the other hand, we give a new sharper estimate of the Dickman-De Bruijn function (x; y) for 5  y < 23, compared with the result obtained by Ennola.

We study special cycles on integral models of Shimura varieties associated with unitary similitude groups of signature (n.1, 1).We construct an arithmetic theta lift from harmonic Maass forms of weight 2 . n to the arithmetic Chow group of the integral model of a unitary Shimura variety, by associating to a harmonic Maass form f a linear combination of Kudla– Rapoport divisors, equipped with the Green function given by the regularized theta lift of f . Our main result is an equality of two complex numbers: (1) the height pairing of the arithmetic theta lift of f against a CM cycle, and (2) the central derivative of the convolution L-function of a weight n cusp form (depending on f ) and the theta function of a positive definite hermitian lattice of rank n − 1. When specialized to the case n = 2, this result can be viewed as a variant of the Gross–Zagier formula for Shimura curves associated to unitary groups of signature (1, 1). The proof relies on, among other things, a new method for computing improper arithmetic intersections.
