. The goal of the paper is to explain a harmonic map approach to two geometric problems related to the Torelli map. The first is related to the existence of totally geodesic submanifolds in the image of the Torelli map, and the second is on rigidity of representation of a lattice of a semi-simple Lie group in a mapping class group.

This paper studies residual finiteness of lattices in the universal cover of PU(2 , 1) and applications to the existence of smooth projective varieties with fundamental group a cocompact lattice in PU(2 , 1) or a finite covering of it. First, we prove that certain lattices in the universal cover of PU(2 , 1) are residually finite. To our knowledge, these are the first such examples. We then use residually finite central extensions of torsion-free lattices in PU(2 , 1) to construct smooth projective surfaces that are not birationally equivalent to a smooth compact ball quotient but whose fundamental group is a torsion-free cocompact lattice in PU(2 , 1).

We study the action of the derived Hecke algebra in the setting of dihedral weight one forms and prove a conjecture of the secondand fourthnamed authors relating this action to certain Stark units associated to the symmetric square L-function. The proof exploits the theta correspondence between various Hecke modules as well as the ideas of Merel and Lecouturier on higher Eisenstein elements.

Let F be a p-adic field, that is, a finite extension of Qp. Let D be a finite dimensional division algebra over F and let SL1(D) be the group of elements of reduced norm 1 in D. Prasad and Raghunathan proved that H(SL1(D), R/Z) is a cyclic p-group whose order is bounded from below by the number of p-power roots of unity in F , unless D is a quaternion algebra over Q2. In this paper we give an explicit upper bound for the order of H(SL1(D), R/Z) for p ≥ 5, and determine H(SL1(D), R/Z) precisely when F is cyclotomic, p ≥ 19 and the degree of D is not a power of p.

Rees-like algebras have played a major role in settling the EisenbudGoto conjecture. This article concerns the structure of the canonical module of the Rees-like algebra and its class groups. Via an explicit computation based on linkage, we provide an explicit and surprisingly well-structured resolution of the canonical module in terms of a type of double-Koszul complex. Additionally, we give descriptions of both the divisor class group and the Picard group of a Rees-like algebra.
