A general framework for constructions of endoscopy correspondences via automorphic integral transforms for classical groups is formulated in terms of the Arthur classification of the discrete spectrum of square-integrable automorphic forms, which is called the Principle of Endoscopy Correspondences, extending the well-known Howe Principle of Theta Correspondences. This suggests another principle, called the (τ, b)-theory of automorphic forms of classical groups, to reorganize and extend the series of work of Piatetski- Shapiro, Rallis, Kudla and others on standard L-functions of classical groups and theta correspondence.

The action of the mapping class group of the thrice-punctured projective plane on its GL(2,C) character variety produces an algorithm for generating the simple length spectra of quasi-Fuchsian thrice-punctured projective planes. We apply this algorithm to quasi-Fuchsian representations of the corresponding fundamental group to prove: a sharp upper-bound for the length its shortest geodesic, a McShane identity and the surprising result of non-polynomial growth for the number of simple closed geodesic lengths.

We show that the FI-homology of an FI-module can be computed via a Koszul complex. As an application, we prove that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a finitely generated torsion FI-module is equal to its degree.

We give a proof of the parabolic/singular Koszul duality for the category O of affine Kac–Moodyalgebras. The main new tool is a relation between moment graphs and finite codimensional affine Schubert varieties. We apply this duality to q-Schur algebras and to cyclotomic rational double affine Heckealgebras.This yields a proof of a conjecture of Chuang–Miyachi relating the level-rank duality with the Ringel–Koszul duality of cyclotomic rational double affine Hecke algebras.
